Having Your Spirit Stirred
Scripture Reference Acts 17:16 — “Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.” Introduction Today’s sermon title is “Having Your Spirit Stirred.” Dr. Terry LeQuieu shows us from Acts 17 how the Holy Spirit worked in the heart of Paul when he came to Athens. Paul’s inner stirring produced outward action: preaching, debating, reasoning, and declaring the Gospel. This passage challenges every believer—especially young adults—to…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 6
Titus 3:4-8 Scripture Reference But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying,…
Secret to Christian Growth
John 15:1-8, 16 Introduction This sermon draws from John chapter 15 and the surrounding context of our Lord’s final instructions to His disciples on the way to Gethsemane. Dr. Terry LeQuieu focuses on two small but powerful words that unlock spiritual maturity for every believer: abiding and abounding. Abiding means to dwell in Christ; abounding means to produce fruit for Christ. The truths of John 15 reveal how God’s pruning, our continued fellowship with Him, and a life dependent on…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 5
Pastor Terry opened Titus 3 and began a three-message focus on the “consummation of a faithful leader”—putting everything together we’ve learned about leadership so our lives openly announce God to the world. Leadership is influence; the Christian leader’s influence must point people past us to Christ. In Titus 3:1–3 Paul gives three public-facing marks of Christlike leadership: (1) be subject to authorities, (2) be civil in accusations—gentle and meek, and (3) be seasoned with humility, remembering what we ourselves once…
Why We Face Adversity. pt1
Primary Text: Psalm 119:71 — “It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.” Introduction Affliction rarely feels good. Yet the psalmist insists it is good—because God uses adversity to drive us into His Word and reshape our walk. Pastor Terry opened a two-part message by reframing hardship with a biblical lens. From Psalm 119 he reminds us that “statutes,” “precepts,” “judgments,” “commandments,” “testimonies,” and “law” are all facets of Scripture—and affliction is…
Leading Like Jesus – part 4
What holds a Christian leader together when life hurls temptations and trials? Grace. From Titus 2:11–15, Pastor Terry shows that God’s grace is the catalyst—it saves, sanctifies, sustains, is sovereign in purpose, and supports us as we speak, exhort, and rebuke with authority. Grace doesn’t just get us to heaven; grace trains us to deny ungodliness and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world—zealous of good works and looking for our blessed hope, the glorious appearing of…
Choosing a Good Name
Scripture teaches that “a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches” (Prov. 22:1). Pastor Terry shows why a good name is spiritual treasure, how it functions as our testimony, and how the Name above every name—the Lord Jesus—saves and transforms. We all carry multiple “names”: our personal/family name, our church’s name, and—most importantly—the name Christian. Guard your testimony with daily, principled choices that point people to Christ. A good name is rather to be chosen than great…
Leading Like Jesus
After Titus cleans house in Crete (Titus 1), Paul turns to building the house—shaping believers whose lives match sound doctrine. Pastor Terry unpacks Titus 2:1–10, where Paul addresses five groups—aged men, aged women, young women, young men, and servants (employees)—and shows how doctrine must form character at church, at home, and at work. Start with the Bible; let behavior follow; and in everything, “adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour.” Introduction & Context (Titus 1 → 2)We continue Leading Like…
Uncomfortable Christianity
Summary From the church at Laodicea we learn three “temperatures” of the Christian life—cold, lukewarm, or hot. The Lord prefers cold or hot over lukewarm. “Lukewarm” religion can run on routine without Jesus at the door being welcomed in. Pastor Terry urges believers to reject a compromising convenience and pursue a “concentrated” Christianity—hearts that burn within as the Word is opened, service that’s joyful, and obedience that’s intentional, intense, and immediate. Introduction Before we read, a quick thought from that…
The High Cost of Discipleship
“…And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 2
Tonight we’re continuing our study in Titus. Our series is Leading Like Jesus, and we’re covering this in seven parts. This is part two. Last week we covered the commitments of a faithful leader and the character of a faithful leader. Remember, Titus’ purpose in Crete (Titus 1:5) was to set in order the things that were wanting and to ordain elders in every city. His job was to train leaders who could replicate the ministry. So as we move…
