Pastor Terry Fant reveals the stark difference between the old and new covenants, explaining that the old was based on man's inability, while the new is based on God's grace and power to transform our hearts from the inside out.   This sermon invites you to step out from under the weight of trying to be "good enough" and into a new covenant relationship with Jesus, where you can have a personal relationship with God and everlasting forgiveness.         Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

From Jeremiah 18–19, Pastor Terry Fant shares the powerful image of the potter and the clay—reminding us that no matter how marred our lives may be, God can remake us into something good. The choice is ours: be moldable clay in His hands or a hardened vessel headed for destruction.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Do you struggle with understanding the Bible? I've found that only when you start to understand the cultural context, will you start to understand scripture. In this video, as a producer and media executive with a PhD in Theology, https://philcooke.com I share the single greatest way I've found to study the Bible using a chronological Bible. Find out my recommendations that will revolutionize your Bible study and elevate your understanding of God's plan for your life and career.

God provides all we need to live out His purpose. To walk in that, we must: 1. Acknowledge that He is sovereign. 2. Stop relying on our own resources. 3.

Message from Jim Lewis on August 3, 2025

Even though we continually betray Him, God still graciously calls us to repent, return, and experience the abundant life only He can give!

July 27, 2025 | Pastor Steve Gaines continues our journey through the Chronological Bible with a message from Isaiah 54:1–8 titled "The Lord Your Redeemer." Through this sermon we see how God commands our celebration, cancels our condemnation, and confers His compassion.For more sermons each week, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the know.

God's rescue plan is unlike any other — through the humility, suffering, and death of Jesus, we find eternal life and victory. Isaiah 52–53 reminds us that Christ bore our sin, took our punishment, and brought us hope.

Message from Terry Williams on July 20, 2025

In this message from Psalm 107, we're reminded that all of us are searching for something—but often in the wrong places. Whether we're wandering, rebelling, or overwhelmed by the storm, God stands ready to rescue, redeem, and restore. The first step? A cry for help.

What if your entire life of worship hinged on one truth? In this powerful message from Psalm 100, we're reminded that everything changes when we believe—truly believe—that God is good. From shouting joyfully to serving gladly, worship becomes our response to His worth and our proof that we trust His goodness.

In this message from Psalm 33, we're reminded that praise isn't just a feeling—it's a vocal and intentional response to the goodness, power, and faithfulness of God. We were made to praise, and God is worthy of every sound we lift to Him.

In this powerful message from Psalm 1, we're invited to examine the difference between the life of the righteous and the unrighteous—and to ask ourselves which path we're really on. Righteousness is more than doing good; it's a life transformed by Christ, empowered by His Spirit, and lived for His glory.

In this message from Isaiah 6:1–8, we're reminded that true surrender begins with seeing God clearly, recognizing our own sinfulness, and receiving His forgiveness. When we encounter God's holiness, the only right response is total surrender.

Pride and humility lead to very different places. In this episode, we look at the story of King Uzziah in 2 Chronicles 26 and see how God responds to both. One attitude leads to strength and blessing—while the other leads to downfall. Tune in to see how God exalts the humble and humbles the exalted.

We've all messed up—but failure doesn't have to be the end of the story. In this episode, we dive into Jonah's journey and see how God meets us in our lowest moments. If you've ever felt like you blew it, this message is for you. God restores failure.

Sometimes the biggest thing standing in the way of God's help… is us. In this episode, we look at the story of Naaman and see how pride can block the rescue God wants to give. Humility isn't easy, but it's the key to experiencing God's best.

In this message, we're reminded that God honors those who are faithful to Him. When we choose loyalty to the Lord, He responds with strength, protection, and blessing. Tune in and be encouraged to stay faithful—because loyalty has its rewards!

In 1 Kings 17, God provides for Elijah in unexpected ways. This message encourages us to trust that when we walk by faith, God will always make a way to meet our needs.

Who are you following? Maybe a better question is—are you leading yourself? In this message, we explore how following "me" leads to hard places. But when we follow God, even the hard places can become pleasant places.  

What are you doing with your time, talent, and treasure? What are you building with your life—and is it truly meaningful? In this message, we're reminded that the only life that truly matters is the one lived for the Lord. Tune in to discover how you can live a life full of purpose and meaning.

Who or what is calling the shots in your life? Have you ever found yourself following the wrong lead—whether it was your emotions, a habit, or some other influence—only to end up where you never intended to be? In this message, we uncover one of the most common "masters", learn how to break its grip, and discover how to let the Lord take His rightful place as the master of your life.

Wisdom has great value -- but only when it's applied. Don't just hear it, live it. Tune in to this message and discover how to receive and walk in true wisdom!

God is love—but does He hate anything? We often associate God with love—and rightly so. But in Proverbs 6, Scripture reveals seven things that God hates. In this episode, we explore what those are, why they matter, and how we can guard our hearts and lives against them.

Avoid adultery—avoid devastation. In this episode, we dive into Proverbs 5 to examine the far-reaching consequences of adultery and discover how to guard our hearts against this destructive sin. Lean in and learn how wisdom leads to freedom.

In this message, we explore the important truth that God graciously guides His children. Through conviction and correction, He lovingly leads us toward repentance and restoration in every area of our lives.

Sometimes, you just have to celebrate what God has done in your life! In this message, we're reminded that our lives should be living proof of His transforming work. God truly changes people—for His glory and for our good.

If we're honest… most of us don't like being helped. Pride often gets in the way of receiving the help we desperately need. But in this message, we're reminded of two powerful truths: 1. We need God's help. 2.God loves to help those who love Him. 

God is the remedy for our despair! No matter how bad a situation may seem, we should cry out to God and wait for his help. He promises to be with us! 

Our attitude matters. In every circumstance, we have a choice: to be grateful for what God has given us or to envy what others have or what we wish we had. Envy can rob us of gratitude and distort our view of God's design for our lives. In this message, we're reminded that God Himself is the true treasure we are meant to seek.

Have you ever experienced true forgiveness? Or maybe the better question is: Is there someone in your life you need to forgive? God has modeled perfect forgiveness for us—and His forgiveness offers lasting joy.

In this episode, we explored what it means to have a loyal and generous heart.

Whether you're entering a time of growth, waiting, challenge, or change, this message offers practical and spiritual insight to help you walk confidently with God into whatever season lies ahead.

Does sin have to define your life? Is failure the end of your story? While sin carries real consequences, there is hope — God, in His grace, offers redemption and a new beginning beyond our shortcomings.

In life, we all face two powerful enemies that, if left unchecked, can lead to our downfall. In this message, we uncover what these enemies are and how you can stand firm in your faith to resist them — and walk in lasting victory.
