In this episode of Truth for Today, Pastor Terry unpacks one of Jesus’ most famous and most misunderstood parables: the story of the lost sheep. What did Jesus really mean when He said the shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one? Learn how this parable isn’t just about rescue, but about the grace of God that pursues us, meets us where we are, and transforms us with truth.

Is it wrong to want an advantage in life? We all look for one—through hard work, money, or opportunity. But Jesus said the greatest advantage isn’t earned or bought—it’s given.

Is it wrong to want to be great? The answer depends on which kingdom you’re living for.

As Jesus knelt to wash His disciples’ feet, He redefined what true greatness looks like: serving with humility, loving without conditions, and living with confidence in who we are in Him. Lean in and learn what it means to pursue real greatness in God’s Kingdom.

Whose life is it anyway? Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 22, we're reminded that just as the coin bore Caesar’s image and belonged to him, we bear the image of God—and our lives belong to Him. We are called to total surrender: to give back to God what is rightfully His, to live as image-bearers who honor Him in our time, talents, and treasures, and to see others as people made in His likeness.

God’s grace reaches both the wayward and the self-righteous.

This well-known parable from Luke 15 isn’t just about the prodigal son, but about the loving Father. The sermon unpacks how we wander through self-centeredness and self-sufficiency, how repentance brings restoration, and how the Father rejoices when His children return home.

Jesus came to seek and save sinners, and every soul matters deeply to Him.

In this message, we walk through the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin, being reminded of our calling to shine as lights in a dark world and to carry God’s heart for the lost. Let’s do whatever it takes to reach one more soul!

Every person receives an invitation to the Kingdom, but not everyone responds. In Luke 14, Jesus tells the Parable of the Great Banquet, a powerful picture of God’s invitation to salvation. In this message, we're reminded that we may ignore the invitation, but we will not ignore the consequences of doing so.

The greatest battle we face in life isn’t against the devil around us — it’s against the self-will within us.

In this message, we learn what it means to die to ourselves and fully surrender to God’s will. True transformation begins when we find our proper place — following behind Jesus and living for Him, not for ourselves.

The smallest things in our hands can become miracles in His. In Mark 6:30–44, Jesus performs one of His most familiar miracles — feeding thousands with just five loaves and two fish. But this miracle wasn’t just about food; it was a lesson in faith, dependence, and compassion. In this message we are reminded that even when we are not enough, Jesus always is!

In Luke 7:36–50 a woman with a painful past pours out extravagant devotion at Jesus’ feet—and Jesus declares her forgiven. In this sermon we learn that those who have been forgiven much love much, how true forgiveness produces costly, public, and unhindered worship, and what that means for our lives today.

In John 4:1–42, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well and offers living water — a gift that satisfies the soul and overflows into everlasting life. That same gift is available to us today! When we are found by Jesus, we leave behind our old life and run after Him, the only One who can truly satisfy our souls.

Revival begins when God’s people get honest about their condition, are moved with compassion, and draw near to the only One who can truly revive. Whether it’s your marriage, your walk with Christ, or your compassion for the lost — revival begins with God’s people being moved to action.

Are you just listening, or are you being changed? In this message, we are challenged to move beyond empty listening and into loving obedience. Too often, we hear God’s Word, agree with it, even share it—but never allow it to shape our lives. This sermon calls us to stop treating God’s Word as background noise and start letting it transform our hearts!

We've all heard the phrase, "You made your bed, now lie in it." But what if there's a way out of the consequences of our sin? In this message from Lamentations chapter one, we explore the destructive, deceptive, and enslaving nature of sin, contrasting it with the life, truth, freedom, and redemption offered only through Jesus Christ.
