Loving Like Jesus: Love is Forgiving with Rev. Terence Gray
This week, Rev. Terence Gray invites us into the hard, holy work of forgiveness as we linger over Paul’s line: “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” With disarming honesty and vivid stories, Pastor Terence shows why forgiveness always feels controversial and complicated—especially when the wound is close to home—and why Jesus’ call to forgive “seventy times seven” isn’t a formula but a doorway into grace. Walking through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant, we’re reminded that forgiven people learn to forgive people, not by force of will but by formation: sitting with the sheer magnitude of God’s mer...

Loving Like Jesus | Small Group Lesson 5: Love Is Forgiving
In this lesson, Rev. Terence Gray tackles the quiet poison of bitterness and shows why gospel-shaped forgiveness is the only path to lasting relationships. With Esau and Jacob’s reunion as a vivid picture and Ephesians 4:32 as our anchor, Pastor Terence invites us to drop the cup of resentment so our hands are free to receive and give love. Forgiveness isn’t denial or weakness—it names the wrong truthfully, sets wise boundaries when needed, and, as Dr. Tim Keller framed it, identifies with a fellow sinner, releases the debt, and aims (as far as it depends on us) for re...

Loving Like Jesus: Loving with your Words with Rev. Terence Gray + Ashley Gray
Rev. Terence Gray and Ashley Gray team up to teach “loving with your words,” showing how our tongues can be a wildfire or a warming hearth. Drawing from James 3, Pastor Terence warns that a single spark—gossip, sarcasm, a cutting email—can burn down trust, while cold silence can freeze a relationship just as surely; the goal isn’t “no fire,” but Spirit-guided, contained fire. Ashley then anchors the message in 1 Corinthians 13, clarifying that Paul describes agape—the self-giving love of Christ—not a checklist but a Spirit-formed character that makes communication truly Christian. You’ll learn four practices you can start today...

Loving Like Jesus | Small Group Lesson 2: Loving with Your Words
In this second lesson of Loving Like Jesus: A 40-Day Journey, Rev. Terence Gray helps us see that our words have extraordinary power—the power to heal or to wound, to build up or to tear down. Through vivid illustrations and practical wisdom, Pastor Terence reminds us that loving like Jesus means speaking truthfully, carefully, and encouragingly. Drawing from Proverbs 18:21 and Ephesians 4, he offers tools like the “H.A.T. check” and the “N.I.C.E. filter” to help us pause before we speak, choose honesty wrapped in grace, and use our voices to strengthen others rather than harm them...

Global Reach
Rev. Terence Gray continues our “Living the Five” series with Global Reach—the conviction that God loves people of every nation and neighborhood, and that the church crosses barriers because Christ first crossed them for us. Opening with a true “find my iPhone” rescue, Pastor Terence asks: if we’ll go to great lengths for a phone, how far will God go for a person? Rooted in Genesis 12’s promise that “all peoples on earth will be blessed,” he casts a vision of our world as a global village and calls us to join a global God—often not by crossing an ocean, b...

Humanity is restless and homesick, longing for a world that feels whole—but Scripture reminds us that in Christ, God is restoring His place, His people, His presence, and His peace. From Revelation 21–22, Pastor Terence shows how God’s great restoration project is already underway: the broken will be healed, the throwaways redeemed, and every tear wiped away.

The Real Enemy Exposed
Rev. Terence Gray unpacks Revelation 12–13, where the kingdom of God collides with a counterfeit kingdom led by the dragon—Satan—and his two beasts. Through vivid biblical imagery, we see how Satan works through political power, cultural influence, false philosophy, and idolatry to oppose Christ and lure people away from the truth. Pastor Terence challenges us to recognize the “mark of the beast” not as a technological code but as an ideological allegiance—allowing our thinking and actions to be shaped by the enemy instead of Christ. We’re warned about the enemy’s tactics: marginalization, diversions, seduction, and direct attack. Yet the...

In the latest "I Never Said That" message, Rev. Terence Gray explores the popular phrase "Ask Jesus into your heart," revealing that while common in Christian culture, it’s not a biblical command.
