Passing the Torch of Faith, Part 2 12/08/2025

Passing the Torch of Faith, Part 2 Passing the Torch of Faith | Genesis 26:1–35 Every generation faces familiar battles in unfamiliar ways. Isaac discovered that firsthand. Though he inherited the same God, same gospel, and same mission as Abraham… he faced a very different world — different economy, different environment, different ethical challenges. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through Genesis 26 and shows how Isaac learned to make the faith his own — and how we can pass that same torch to the next generation. You’ll learn three key principles from the life of Isaac: Be Honest About Your Failures Our kids won’t learn from what we hide — only from what we reveal. Transparency becomes a generational blessing. Be Thorough in Your Repentance Patterns are inherited. If we don’t break them, our children will repeat them. Be Clear About Where You Found Water More than rules, the next generation needs to know where we found hope, strength, Scripture, and spiritual wells that sustained us. From economic chaos to digital saturation to shifting moral frameworks, today’s young Christians are growing up in a world unlike any before it. But the God who was with Abraham and Isaac is the same God who will be with them. This sermon is a call for parents, grandparents, and spiritual leaders to pass on the faith with honesty, humility, and clarity — marking out the wells that sustained us, so the next generation can drink deeply from God’s grace. Watch now and be encouraged as you lead the next generation to the God who is always faithful. /episode/index/show/zachterry/id/39324785

Wrestling With Appetites, Part 2 12/08/2025

Wrestling With Appetites, Part 2 Wrestling with Appetites – Genesis 25:19–34 | Pastor Zach Terry In this message from Genesis 25, Pastor Zach Terry unpacks the story of Jacob and Esau and shows how unchecked appetites can cost us far more than we ever intended to pay. From Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of stew to the spiritual battle happening long before the twins were even born, Scripture gives us a powerful warning: if you don’t control your appetites, your appetites will control you. Using vivid illustrations, from competitive eating legends to the struggles of emotional fatigue, Pastor Zach demonstrates how the enemy hijacks our desires, distorts our perception, minimizes consequences, and ultimately leads us toward foolish decisions. You’ll learn: Why appetites aren’t sinful but can become spiritually dangerous How impact bias and focalism distort your judgment How Esau lost everything for a moment of comfort How to break the power of destructive appetites Why big decisions must be made from a place of spiritual and emotional health How to “reframe your future” the way Jesus did in Gethsemane If you’ve ever felt pulled by temptation, worn down by craving, or overwhelmed by desire, this message will help you see your choices clearly and walk in wisdom.

If you’ve ever asked, “Where is God in grief?” or struggled to find peace after losing someone you love — this message will remind you that the grave is not the end. Through Christ, death has lost its sting. 📖 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?

The Faith Test, Part 2 12/03/2025

The Faith Test, Part 2 The Faith Test | Genesis 22 When God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac, it wasn’t to destroy his faith—it was to reveal it. In the same way, every believer will face moments when obedience feels impossible, when the knife is raised and the cost seems too high. In those moments, remember this: what God asks you to release, He replaces with something greater. Abraham discovered it on Mount Moriah—the very mountain where, generations later, another Father would not spare His only Son. If you’re walking through a test, take heart. The Lord who provides on the mountain is the same God who will meet you in your trial. 📖 Genesis 22:1–19 /episode/index/show/zachterry/id/39256355

The Birth of Isaac, Part 2 12/03/2025

The Birth of Isaac, Part 2 The Birth of Isaac | Genesis 21:1–21 | Pastor Zach Terry God always keeps His promises — even when it seems impossible. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through the long-awaited birth of Isaac, the child of promise, and contrasts it with the birth of Ishmael, the child of human effort. From this moment in Genesis, two paths emerge: the path of faith or the path of the flesh. One is born of God’s divine power, the other from human will. Every person must ask—which path am I on? 📖 Key Themes: • God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises • The danger of “helping” God through human means • Isaac and Ishmael as pictures of grace vs. works • Freedom in Christ versus bondage to religion “Religion by works always enslaves—‘Do more, be better, earn favor.’ Grace liberates—‘It is finished.’” /episode/index/show/zachterry/id/39256335

Dealing With the Root, Part 2 12/03/2025

Dealing With the Root, Part 2 Dealing with the Root | Genesis 20 What’s beneath the surface will eventually break through. Just like roots can crack the strongest foundation, spiritual “roots” left undealt with—fear, anger, bitterness, pride—will resurface and wreak havoc in our lives. In Genesis 20, Abraham repeats the same mistake he made 25 years earlier. Despite God’s promises, fear takes root again. But even in failure, God shows His presence, His power, and His grace. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through Abraham’s struggle and shows us how God: Exposes the roots that remain hidden in our hearts Confronts us through truth and conviction Leads us to confession and renewal Continues to use us by His grace Sanctification is slow, intentional work. It’s about pulling out the roots before they destroy the foundation. The good news? God never gives up on His children. 📖 Scripture: Genesis 20 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Zach Terry /episode/index/show/zachterry/id/39256270

Safe by Association, Part 2 12/03/2025

Safe by Association, Part 2 Safe by Association | Genesis 18 What does it mean to be spared by God’s mercy, not because of our own righteousness, but because of who we’re connected to? In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks us through Abraham’s bold intercession for Sodom, Lot’s tragic compromise, and the sobering destruction that followed. We’ll see how: - Laws give instruction, but consequences bring conviction. - Lot “drafted” behind Abraham’s faith without making it his own. - God’s judgment is just—but His mercy is greater still. At the heart of the story is a powerful truth: only by being Safe by Association with the Righteous One, Jesus Christ, can we stand on the day of judgment. 📖 Passage: Genesis 18–19 /episode/index/show/zachterry/id/39256235
