What does God’s provision really look like?
In Genesis 39, we follow Joseph through betrayal, temptation, false accusation, and imprisonment, and discover that God’s provision is not defined by ease or comfort, but by His faithful presence.
This message reminds us that God honors those who honor Him, even in the valley of temptation, and that His provision is never absent—even in the hardest places.
Neglecting one area of our lives often leads to struggle in others. We can easily forget that we are a whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and that health in each area matters.
This teaching encourages us to steward our physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual disciplines with wisdom and balance. Honoring God means giving thoughtful attention to every part of who He has created us to be.

Are the benefits of God’s covenant earned by performance—or secured by promise? This message reveals a powerful truth: God’s covenant blessings are based on His faithfulness, not our performance.
As we study Jacob’s encounter at Bethel, we’re invited to respond to God’s mercy with awe, remembrance, surrender, and a life marked by trust and generosity.
In this episode, Pastor Terry sits down with Tim Thoman to reflect on God’s calling, the struggle before surrender, and the faithfulness of God through obedience.
Tim shares his journey from childhood church involvement to wrestling with God’s call into ministry, and ultimately raising the white flag in surrender.
This conversation is an encouragement to anyone sensing God’s direction but s...
In this episode of Truth for Today, Pastor Terry is joined by student pastor Josiah Smith to discuss what it means to live as a faithful example, no matter your age.
Rooted in 1 Timothy 4:12, this conversation challenges the idea that youth equals immaturity and highlights the role of parents, churches, and discipleship in shaping godly character.
This episode is an encouragement to call th...
Our faith will be tested, but never without purpose. In this message from Genesis 22, we walk through Abraham’s greatest test and discover what authentic faith really looks like.
God tests our priorities, calls us to obedience, and reveals Himself as the God who provides. As Abraham trusted God with what mattered most, we are challenged to examine our own faith and surrender every boundary to the Lord wh...
What happens when our good intentions turn into interference with God’s plan? In this episode, we’re reminded that God doesn’t need our help to be faithful.
Through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, this message challenges us to trust God’s timing, resist the urge to force outcomes, and rest in the truth that God sees us, hears us, and remains faithful—even when waiting is hard.
What looks better isn’t always what’s best. Too often, we make decisions based on logic, comfort, or appearance instead of faith and obedience. In this message, we look at Lot’s choice to pursue the “greener” land without ever asking God—and the lasting consequences that followed. This episode challenges us to trust the Lord’s direction rather than our own understanding, and to watch how He makes our path straight.
What can the flood teach us about God, and about ourselves? In Genesis 6–9, we discover that while the heart of the problem is the human heart, God remains gracious, faithful, and committed to rescue those who trust Him.
Through the story of Noah, we see a God who warns before He judges, provides a specific way of rescue, and keeps His covenant promises.
This message reminds us that salvation is not earned, but received by faith—an...
As we step into a new year, this episode encourages us to live with urgency, intention, and purpose. The Christian life is about pressing forward, not living in the past.

What does Jesus do with lukewarm faith? The heart of this message calls us to see ourselves clearly, repent of spiritual complacency, and respond to God with zealous love instead of lukewarm religion. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, not to condemn, but to invite us back into passionate, wholehearted relationship with Him.

In this final episode of the year, we look to Philippians 3 and the words of the Apostle Paul, reminding us that none of us have arrived. We are all a work in progress.
While it’s wise to reflect on both our failures and our successes, we are not meant to live in either regret or past victories.
As this year comes to a close, this episode invites us to pause, reflect, and reset our hearts before stepping into what’s next.

Christmas is more than a moment, a memory, or a tradition. It’s the story of God choosing to be with us.
In this Christmas Day episode, Pastor Terry walks through the meaning of Immanuel—God with us. This message reminds us that Jesus didn’t just come to be admired as a baby in a manger, but to live among us, show us who God truly is, and ultimately die so we could have access to Him. Because of Christ, ...
This Christmas week, we’re reminded that our lives are not random or accidental. We are divinely assigned by God! In this episode, we look at Mary’s encounter in Luke 1 and discover how God delivers His assignments with purpose, power, and eternal impact.
As we slow down in the midst of a busy season, this message encourages us to recognize God’s calling on our lives, trust His empowermen...
In this Christmas message from Hebrews 10, we’re reminded why God gave His Son and how that truth should change the way we live. Jesus came not only to forgive our sins, but to give us full access to God and a finished salvation.
This message challenges us to move beyond routine faith and live differently in light of what Jesus has done.

Even the strongest believers and healthiest churches still need help from heaven. This message reminds us that God’s people need spiritual wisdom, holy living, deeper knowledge of God, and supernatural strength — not just to survive hard situations and hard people, but to walk through them with joy. Healthy believers still need help, and that help has a name: Jesus.
From learning to slow down, to scheduling intentional family time, to discipling employees, and apologizing when you miss it, this episode is full of practical wisdom and real-life encouragement!
