How to Have God Come to Your Aid
Paul had many wonderful experiences and special privileges as an Apostle of Jesus Christ but he also had an infirmity in the flesh; a disability of some sort that God allowed to remain in his life to serve as a constant reminder of his own personal weakness and his need for God's strength. Paul earnestly sought the Lord three times to remove this infirmity, but God taught Paul, and teaches us a very important lesson through all this: God's strength is made perfect in weakness.

The Half Has Not Been Told
What does the world see when they look at Christians? The Queen of Sheba marvelled at the wisdom, wealth, and fame of Solomon, going so far as to say that "the half was not told her" of how great he was. May the world marvel at what Christ has done for us, and may we as Christians never lose the wonder of being a child of the King.

Seven Signs of Revival - Revelation 3:14-20
Series: Preparing for What's Ahead (Part 6) – This sixth sermon in the series puts forth the proposition that Christians must join together and commit to specific actions that both call upon God and engage followers of Christ to confront head on the destructive powers and forces that are subtly but surely propelling us to catastrophe. You will hear Pastor Terry warn that, "The 'party' is almost over." This sermon builds upon the foundation of individual response that was introduced in the previous sermon by disclosing seven signs that have characterized previous times of personal and culturally transforming spiritual revival. Jesus' message to the early church located in the city of Laodicea is brought forward as a call to people to unite in inviting Jesus to come into our lives and churches, moving us to change the way we are living so that the classic signs of revival will emerge and result in unprecedented numbers of people turning to God.

Teach Us To Pray
When we commit to be a member of the church we pledge to pray. In this passage Jesus provides a great lesson when his disciples ask him to teach them to pray. What is our experience of prayer? Is it powerful or weak? Is it better in groups or alone? Are some prayers better than others? Why is this so important to the Christian life?

The Attitude of Prayer
"The Lord's Prayer" was never intended to be recited over and over without meaning (because the heart is not right). It is a guide of the intensity we HAVE to pray. We have to pray persistant and unrelenting, to the point of being annoying. (from a human standpoint, as God cannot be annoyed) This is what Jesus shows us how to do with "The Lord's Prayer", until God answers our prayer.

Living Among Lions
Daniel 6:1-28 Christ told His apostles that they would be persecuted and would suffer just as He suffered. Like the apostles, we who follow Christ are foreigners in this world and therefore can expect persecution and suffering as well. As aliens in this land, we should abstain from the evil influences of this evil world and conduct ourselves in such a way as to honor and glorify our Lord and King Jesus Christ. Therefore, we should maintain honorable behavior even when we are treated harshly or unjustly. God is pleased when we are patient and long-suffering. We are called by our Lord to suffer, just as He suffered, and we are to put our trust in Him just as He entrusted Himself to the Father, Who judges righteously. Perhaps no other story exemplifies this better than the story of Daniel in the Lions Den. From this story, we see that Daniel did not compromise, as as a consequence, he was hated and reviled. In spite of this, Daniel thrived and triumphed because he had a relationship with God and trusted Him for endurance and deliverance during his trials. The story of Daniel among the lions can be divided into eight parts: 1. The Promotion of Daniel (vv. 1-3) 2. The Plot Against Daniel (vv. 4-9) 3. The Prayer of Daniel (vv. 10-11) 4. The Persecution of Daniel (vv. 12-18) 5. The Preservation of Daniel (vv. 19-23) 6. The Punishment of Daniel's Enemies (v. 24) 7. The Praise of Daniel's God (vv. 25-27) 8. The Prosperity of Daniel (v. 28) Daniel is a great model to pattern our prayer life after. By his witness, King Darius came to acknowledge that the God of the Jews was the one true God. Hear the message of Daniel above the roar of the lions around you. Just as God delivered a pagan king, He can deliver us from among the lions of this world!
