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...

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.

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, ...

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.

Christmas should be a season of peace, not pressure. In this message, Pastor Terry Fant walks through Luke 2 to show how the Prince of Peace came to calm our hearts, not overwhelm them. Slow down, breathe, and don’t let Christmas steal the peace Jesus came to give.

We all face storms — some caused by others, some allowed by God, and some that we steer into ourselves. Acts 27 shows what happens when we ignore God’s counsel and choose our own way… and the incredible faithfulness of God even in the middle of the chaos we created.

 

His mercy meets us in the mess, His presence steadies us in the waves, and His grace leads us home when we finally choose to...

Why does God allow hard, painful things into our lives? In this message from 2 Corinthians 12, we learn that the “thorn in the flesh” isn’t punishment—it’s grace.  While we constantly ask God to remove the hardship, He often gives us something better: the sustaining grace that is always enough.

Romans 3 reminds us that no matter how hard we try, none of us can make ourselves right with God. We all miss the mark: even the “good” people. In this episode, Pastor Terry unpacks why our goodness can’t save us, why we chase peace in all the wrong places, and how Jesus becomes our covering and our righteousness.

God’s mercy deserves a reasonable response. In Romans 12, Paul shows us what that response looks like: offering ourselves fully to God, refusing to be shaped by the world, and allowing Him to transform our minds.

Mercy means we don’t get what we do deserve; grace means we receive what we don’t deserve. When we understand the weight of both, the only reasonable response is a life surrendered to Christ and...
