For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. – 2 Corinthians 4:5-6
Valley of Baca
Psalm 84 provides us some details of the Valley of Baca, which represents the valley of despair. Listen to pastor Terry as he preaches through this Psalm on handling despair in our lives:
Steps to the Wrong Destination
How did Solomon get from the point of having favor with God to the point in 1 Kings 11 where God rends the kingdom from him? Listen as Pastor Terry preaches “Steps to the Wrong Destination”: The destination we end up at starts with the decisions we make. We can choose the decision, but we cannot choose the consequence. Solomon not only went after false gods, but also “did evil”. Your thoughts shape your attitudes, your attitude develop into certain…
Valley of Elah
In 1 Samuel 17 we find the famous battle between the Israelites and the Philistines with their giant prominently blaspheming the God of Israel. Listen as Pastor Terry preaches from this passage on the topic of the Valley of Doubt We all go through Valleys of Doubt; seasons where it seems like what we are trying to do is impossible. When you are going through valleys of doubt in your life, the most important step is the next “right” step.
Advice from King Josiah
Josiah was known as the “boy king” becoming king at the age of 8. Listen to Pastor Terry as he preaches from 2 Kings 22-23 & 2 Chronicles 35 on advice from King Josiah. What we believe we put into practice.
Valley of Sorek
Valley of Deception. We know that Lucifer is the great deceiver, yet we operate in self-deception as we lie to ourselves saying that everything is “ok”. We can look at Samson in Judges 16 in the valley of Sorek where he deceived himself saying, “I will go out as other times before… And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.”
Valley of Achor
The Valley of Achor is where Achan disobeyed the commandment of God and stole from the tithe—the first of 10 cities of Canaan, Jericho, that was dedicated unto God. Listen to pastor Terry as he preaches on the valley of “trouble”. Disobedience is always a result of an unsubmitted heart. We have to kill the spirit of disobedience; we have to mortify the deeds of the flesh; we have surrender our will to God.
