Northeast Christian Podcast

This week, Terrence uncovers how worship—intended to glorify God—can be corrupted by guilt, duty, or personal agendas. His message offers a deep diagnostic tool for modern believers, especially those in church culture who risk coasting through faith. He balances conviction and grace, warning against superficial worship while holding up the joy of childlike connection with God.

Whether struggling with shame, burnout, or disappoint...

Terrence joins our worship leaders for another special episode of the Northeast Podcast.

In this series, we’re diving into the heart of worship—exploring how God is calling us, as a church, to deepen our worship culture, make it more centered on Him, and align more fully with His purpose for our lives and community.

This episode serves as companion content for our church’s three-week worship series, Echo. Our hope is that it encour...

This week, Terrence kicked off a new three-week sermon series titled Echo — a call to examine the culture of worship both inside the church and in our everyday lives. It’s an invitation to live in a way that mirrors the eternal worship in heaven.

Worship should echo heaven — meaning our lives here on earth are meant to reflect and magnify God's glory. Terrence reminded us that all of life is worship. Whether we realize it or not, e...

This weekend, Tyler emphasized that parents are the single greatest influence on a child’s spiritual life. More than media, friends, schools, or even pastors, it is the beliefs and behaviors of parents that shape religious continuity into adulthood. In fact, the best predictor of an adult's religious beliefs is how their parents lived out their faith during the child-rearing years.

Despite cultural narratives that suggest otherwise...

This week, Terrence wrapped up our Controversial Christianity series focusing on The Exclusivity of Jesus. He emphasized that Jesus is the only way to salvation, highlighting three core truths:

• Christian Truth #1: Jesus is the Exclusive Way to Salvation

• Christian Truth #2: Jesus Calls His Followers to Exclusive Relationship

• Christian Truth #3: Jesus Honors Our Choices and Excludes Those Who Reject Him

Terrence challenges us t...

This weekend, Tyler continued our Controversial Christianity series by exploring how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) can be understood and lived out through a biblical lens. While DEI is often controversial in culture, Tyler reminded us that these principles are deeply rooted in Scripture—not foreign to it.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to God’s redemptive story. The Christian vision doesn’t conform to politic...

This Sunday, Terrence continued in our series titled “Controversial Christianity”, addressing the topics of modesty and moderation within the Christian life. The message challenges believers to submit every area of life to Jesus, not out of legalism, but out of love, maturity, and commitment to holiness.

Modesty and moderation are controversial, not necessarily in culture, but within the church due to a decline in discipleship and ...

This sermon is part two of our series titled Controversial Christianity. The purpose of the series is not to provoke, but to approach culturally charged topics with compassion, clarity, and conviction, rooted in Christ’s example and the authority of Scripture.

Two foundational convictions of the church:

1. God’s Word speaks to all controversial topics.
2. The church must model healthier conversations on divisive matters.

The...

Each topic in this series draws from the top questions regularly brought to the Pastoral Team.

In this sermon, Tyler speaks about the cultural tensions surrounding gender identity. He unpacks the Church's responsibility to navigat...

This Sunday, Bob Cherry, founding pastor of Northeast Christian Church, wrapped up our series A Word to the Generations, speaking to the Village Elders. Whether you are young or old, retired or just beginning your career, the choices you make every day shape the house you live in—your life and character. God sees not appearances but the heart, and our true foundation must be Jesus Christ—the only one that endures storms.

Imagine yo...

Terrence introduced us to a new series titled, A Word to the Generations, focusing this week on wisdom and understanding for the youth, drawn from Proverbs 4:5–9.

He calls each generation — from youth to elders — to embrace their role in God's Kingdom, highlighting both the strengths and challenges of today’s youth.

His message centers around the critical call for youth and all generations to "Get Wisdom and Get Understanding".

The resurrection of Jesus unleashes a power strong enough to sustain and transform lives.

Drawing on Luke 24, Tyler illustrates how the tomb is not only historically empty but spiritually potent. He contrasts Jesus’s inner strength with cultural volatility and emphasizes that followers of Jesus can access this same resurrection power through the Holy Spirit.

The resurrection unleashed power from heaven into the world. The same pow...

Tyler continued our Easter series, Real, with a powerful message in week three, focusing on the unjust trial Jesus endured. Despite the overwhelming political and religious corruption surrounding Him, Jesus stood with unwavering integrity. He didn’t resist arrest or lash out in defense. Instead, He willingly surrendered, spoke truth without aggression and responded with quiet strength—His actions perfectly aligned with His teaching...

This message is part two of our Easter series titled "Real", focused on the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life. This week, Tyler’s message centers on the scene in the Garden of Gethsemane, highlighting Jesus’ soul-crushing obedience, internal anguish, and his ultimate surrender to God’s will.

“Does your faith cost only Jesus something—or does it cost you something too?”

Tyler emphasizes that following Jesus involves sacrifice, not just ...

Sunday, we started an Easter season sermon series that shows what it means to be a Christian and follow Jesus by digging into His last hours leading to the cross. You can’t follow Jesus if you don’t follow him all the way to the cross. The last 24 hours, as he goes to the cross, are sparked with some of the most electrifying truths of our faith: Earnest Imitation, Soul-Crushing Surrender, Public Integrity, Death-Defying Trust, Divi...
