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
Settling for Brass Instead of Gold
Pastor Terry explores the story of King Rehoboam, who replaced the golden shields of Solomon with brass imitations after the originals were taken by Shishak, king of Egypt. This act symbolizes how, in modern Christianity, valuable spiritual truths and standards are often replaced with lesser substitutes. – The Danger of Substitutes: Just as Rehoboam used brass shields to imitate gold, many churches today replace foundational truths with “cheaper” alternatives that lack true value and substance. – Areas of Compromise: …
This Book We Call the Bible
Everything we need in our life, we can find within the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us that all scripture is profitable and for us so that we may be perfect and throughly furnished to do the work God has made for us. God’s Word is an inexhaustible well for us. Psalm 92:5 states, “O LORD, how great are they works! and thy thoughts are very deep. In this sermon, Pastor Terry focuses on the Inspiration of the Bible.

Truth is Fallen in the Street
Pastor Terry opened Isaiah 59 to describe the moral and spiritual moment we’re living in: “judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter” (v.14). The problem isn’t God’s inability—“the Lord’s hand is not shortened… neither his ear heavy” (vv.1–2)—it’s our iniquities that have created the separation. When truth (God’s Word) is pushed out of public life and private hearts, judgment is paralyzed, justice drifts, and equity can’t…

How to Walk with God
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. – Exodus 33:11 Just because you don’t have a spritual figure in your life doesn’t mean you can’t find a spiritual leader and follow after them as they follow after God. Like John the Baptist, we don’t need to point…
