Truth for Today with Terry Fant

In this episode, we look at the calling of Matthew in Matthew 9 and discover an incredible truth: Jesus doesn’t define us by our failures, our past, or the labels others place on us. While everyone else saw Matthew as a traitor and a sinner, Jesus saw a man with value, purpose, and kingdom potential.
The same is true for you.
No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, Jesus sees you differently than you often see yourself. His invitation is still the same today: “Follow Me.”
 

After a mountaintop victory on Mount Carmel, the prophet Elijah finds himself in one of the lowest valleys of his life.
In this episode, we walk through the powerful story of 1 Kings 18–19, where victory is followed by vulnerability, and calling is tested in the quiet places of despair.
Elijah’s cave becomes a mirror for our own seasons of anxiety, discouragement, and isolation. In these seasons, we can rest knowing that there is still hope. There is still purpose. There is still a future. There is still a next step.
And maybe today, the same question that God asked Elijah is being asked of you: “What are you doing here?”
It is time to come out of that cave!

King Asa once faced impossible odds and cried out to God for help. God answered in a mighty way. But decades later, when another crisis came, Asa trusted his own plans instead of the Lord.
In this episode, Terry Fant walks through 2 Chronicles 15-16 and reveals how panic can lead us to make costly decisions.
When life puts you between a rock and a hard place, don’t panic. Learn to trust the God who delights in showing Himself strong on behalf of those who rely on Him.

Have you ever felt trapped between a rock and a hard place, unsure of what to do next? In this episode of Truth For Today, Terry looks at the life of King Asa in 2 Chronicles 14 and discovers how God's people should respond when they feel outnumbered, overwhelmed, and facing impossible odds.
Even while faithfully following God, Asa found himself facing an enemy army nearly twice the size of his own. Instead of relying on his strength, wisdom, or resources, he cried out to God for help and trusted the Lord with the outcome.
Prayer is not a last resort. It is the first response of faith. Learn why trusting God matters more than controlling the outcome and how a simple prayer of "Help, Lord" can change everything.

After one of the greatest victories of his life, Elijah found himself discouraged, afraid, exhausted, and hiding in a cave. In 1 Kings 19, we discover a powerful truth: God does not abandon His children in their moments of weakness. Instead, He meets them where they are, restores them, and calls them back to His purpose.
If you've ever struggled with disappointment, fear, isolation, depression, regret, or unmet expectations, this message is for you. The same God who sought out Elijah is still calling His people out of hiding today.
The cave may offer temporary comfort, but it can never provide lasting purpose. God did not create His people to hide in fear, disappointment, or complacency. He calls us to hear His voice, trust His plan, and step back into the abundant life He has prepared for us.
"Come out of that cave!"

How long will you limp between two opinions? In 1 Kings 18, Elijah confronts Israel with a question that still echoes today: Will you follow God completely, or will you continue trying to serve two masters?
On Mount Carmel, God exposes the emptiness of false gods and demonstrates His unmatched power and faithfulness.
In this message, we explore the danger of divided allegiance, the futility of idols that promise much but deliver nothing, and the reality that God alone is worthy of our complete devotion. While false gods always take and never give, the Lord powerfully reveals Himself as the One who saves, provides, and transforms lives.
Just as Elijah called Israel to make a decision, every person must answer the same question today: Who will you serve?
