John 2: Would You Be Made Whole Part 2

November 16, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

There is power in sharing your testimony! In today’s message from Pastor Terry, he explains that testimony is simply sharing with others the work that God has done in your life. It’s re-counting all the ways God has been faithful and good in your life. Pastor Terry shares that often it’s the sharing of your faith that leads someone else to faith. Don’t be afraid to share with others how you were led to faith in Jesus. And through having that faith in Jesus, the difference that He’s made in your life.

John 2: Would You be Made Whole Part 1

Faith in the Lord makes you free! As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Terry, he shares with you the beautiful truth that pursuing and actively walking out your faith in Jesus extends liberty. You’re not bound to the chains and guilt that religion can bring. No, you are free by your belief in Jesus as your Savior. Pastor Terry explains that a relationship with Jesus brings light, life, and freedom! Jesus said in His Scriptures that His yolk is easy and His burden is light. He wants you to live fruitfully!

John 5: Hear and Believe the Words of Jesus Part 2

November 2, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

Do you really know God – the God revealed in Scripture? There are many who claim to know Him but have fashioned a god to their own liking – a god who embraces their sin and selfishness instead of trying to restore them to their original, perfect design. As Pastor Terry will warn in today’s message, this is why we must rely on the Bible and get to know what it says about God; It’s essential for recognizing when false gods are put before us or misleading doctrine tries to implant in our hearts.

John 5: Hear and Believe the Words of Jesus Part 1

October 26, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

God thought up and created this world we live in just by uttering the words. We’re living in His universe. Everything that is, exists because of Him. Yet, as humans, we’ve been deceived into thinking that our reason and our desires are more important than God’s. As Pastor Terry continues our study of the book of John, we’ll be reminded of God’s sovereignty and our need to submit to it. Not in an effort to earn His favor or love – but in gratitude for the love and grace He’s already extended to us.

John 4: The Work of Salvation Part 2

October 19, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

When you allow complacency to take hold in your Christian journey, it’s easy to only do the bare minimum… Go to church most Sunday mornings and avoid certain activities that disagree with your convictions – at least most of the time. As Pastor Terry will challenge us in today’s message, following Jesus can be so much more than that. It can be a life of purpose as you take His message of hope and peace to the broken world all around you, letting the change He’s made in you light up the darkness.

John 4: The Work of Salvation Part 1

October 12, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

We tend to think that God will love us if we can just be good enough. This way of thinking is at the core of religion; The idea that if you follow all the rules and do good enough works, you can earn the favor and acceptance of God. But, as Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, Jesus turned that idea on its head. He died on the cross for us while we were still sinners. He loved us before we were saved, and He did all the work necessary to bring us into a right relationship with God.

John 4:1-26: Living Water Part 2

October 5, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

Have you ever noticed how the sheep are kept on a farm? They would simply stand there eating grass, appearing passive to the observer. However, once they hear the shepherd's voice, they become proactive and begin to move in response to the shepherd's call. Have you considered the possibility that your life has been static for a while? Today, Pastor Terry will explain why you need God in your life. Your soul longs for the Creator. When you accept Jesus into your heart, your life will finally be complete!

John 4:1-26: Living Water Part 1

September 28, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

You may have noticed that performing two tasks at once usually impacts both of them. Similarly, on your journey of faith, you may feel compelled to partake in earthly pleasures. In today's message, Pastor Terry outlines how you can focus solely on God. Getting caught up in materialistic pleasures can sour your relationship with God and cause you to drift away from Him. The only way to progress in your spiritual journey with God is to leave behind worldly practices and walk in God’s intended path.

John 3:10-21: God’s Love Part 4

September 21, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

In the Old Testament, the Israelites offered animal sacrifices to atone for their sins. God tested Abraham's faith and love for Him by seeking Isaac's sacrifice. But are you aware that God, the Father, sacrificed His only Son for your sins? In today's message, Pastor Terry describes how Jesus saved you. When He came into this world, Jesus died on the cross for your sins, becoming the sacrificial Lamb, paving the way for you to be reunited with your heavenly Father again. Now all your sins can be forgiven!

John 3:10-21: God’s Love Part 3

September 14, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

When we are finished dealing with a difficult circumstance, our minds prefer to deflect our attention away from the reality that it was a difficult journey, and instead focus on the positive moments and short-term joys that we experienced. Thinking about the positive sides of the challenge might often take you down the same route again. Today, Pastor Terry explains how God helps you focus on the positive aspects of life. Even when the enemy throws distractions at you, God can help you see clearly!

John 3:1-15: God's Love Part 2

September 7, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

Have you ever gone into a restaurant and had such an amazing entrée or dessert that you decided you want to try to make it at home next time? It never fails that something is missing… it has enough salt and pepper. What’s the secret ingredient?! There’s a similar phenomenon in life. No matter what kind of thrills you chase, there’s always something missing. Today, Pastor Terry reveals this secret ingredient – Jesus. When you encounter the God of the universe, that void left by futile attempts will be filled.

John 3:1-15: God’s Love Part 1

August 31, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

Many people think the ticket to Heaven is simply being a nice person. Some people think it’s about how much you tithe. Others believe it’s how many weeks they checked church off their to-do list. These aren’t bad things to do… but they aren’t the ticket to Heaven. Today, Pastor Terry reveals the true ticket to Heaven… believing and following Jesus. If you want to spend eternity with your creator, you can’t just know about Him. You need to know Him. Do you? Or have you just been trying to check off boxes?

John 1:40-2:12: Behold The Lamb Part 2

August 24, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

You’ve likely heard someone say, “How can there be a God with all the evil going on?” Or maybe you’ve thought to yourself, “How could God love someone like me?” In today’s message, Pastor Terry shatters these thoughts by teaching how much God loves you. Jesus came and died to allow anyone who would come to Him to be rescued from evil in the next life. It doesn’t matter who you are, or what you’ve done… God still loves you enough to die for even just a chance that you’d join Him.

John 1:40-2:12: Behold The Lamb Part 1

August 17, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

Isn’t the Lord good? Sometimes, it can be easy to get caught up in the flashy attractions of the world. We have so much fun being entertained by the sports or music industry that we are constantly seeking to top that experience. Today, Pastor Terry explains that if you’re looking to attend church for the fun of it, you might leave feeling a little lacking. If you are looking to attend church to encounter the Lord of all creation, then you’re in the right place. Don’t seek thrills… seek the King of kings.

John 1:15-40: The Word Became Flesh Part 4

August 10, 2024 • Pastor Terry Reynolds

Have you ever had a great mentor or coach in your life? There’s something incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring about someone directing you and guiding you to become better in a given field. Part of walking the Christian walk is to become a coach or mentor for younger believers. Today, Pastor Terry encourages you to become like the disciple Andrew. The Great Commission says to go out and make disciples… so who in your life can you mentor and disciple so that they can grow closer to Jesus?
