Truth for Today with Terry Fant

What does it mean to be a fool?

Daniel 5 gives us a sobering picture of a man who knew about God, knew what God had done, and had every reason to learn from the past, yet chose to live as though God did not matter.

The problem is not simply that we don’t know God’s way. The greater danger is knowing God’s way and refusing to live God’s way.

We often know what God’s Word says about forgiveness, reconcil...

What makes a testimony a true testimony of a transformed life? In this episode, we walk through Paul’s testimony in Acts 26 and identify three essential parts of a biblical testimony: who you were before Christ, your encounter with and surrender to Jesus, and the transformed life that follows.

Your testimony isn’t ultimately about a feeling, an experience, or simply becoming a better person. ...

Everything we have is ultimately God’s. Our time, abilities, resources, opportunities, and spiritual gifts have been entrusted to us for a purpose: to glorify God and advance His kingdom.

In this episode of Truth For Today, Terry Fant walks through Jesus’ Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 and challenges us to think differently about what it means to be a good steward. God doesn’t ask...

What do you do when life feels hopeless?

In Ezekiel 37, God brings the prophet Ezekiel into a valley filled with dry bones. From every human perspective, the situation is beyond repair. Yet God asks a remarkable question: “Can these bones live?”

The message of Ezekiel 37 is a powerful reminder that what looks hopeless to us is not beyond the power of God. Life can seem hopeless, but our feelings and circumstances do not...

Church hurt is real. When people we love and trust let us down, the pain can be deep. But what happens when that hurt causes us to isolate from the body of Christ?

In this episode, Terry looks at 2 Timothy 4 and the experiences of Paul, John Mark, and others who experienced disappointment, betrayal, and rejection. Through these stories, we’re reminded that while church hurt is real, isolation can leave us vulnerable to defeat...

Salvation is not the end of the story.

In Ezekiel 37, God doesn’t simply bring His people back to life. He restores them, unifies them, cleanses them, leads them, sanctifies them, and promises to dwell with them forevermore. God’s work in our lives isn’t limited to changing our eternal destination.

Salvation changes the way we live today. It changes who we follow, how we relate to other believers, how we respond t...

What if the difficult circumstances in your life are not evidence that God is against you, but evidence that He is trying to lead you back to Himself?

Manasseh repeatedly rebelled against God, ignored His warnings, and eventually experienced the painful consequences of his choices. Yet in his affliction, he humbled himself, called on God, and discovered that God was still willing to hear and restore him.

Sometimes God’s goodn...

Rejecting God’s truth always comes with a cost.

When a lie sounds better than the truth, we can be tempted to believe what we want to hear instead of what God has said. But wanting something to be true does not make it true, and rejecting God’s authority never produces the freedom we think it will.

Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him, take His yoke, and find rest...

God’s answer to our stubborn rebellion is not simply better behavior. It is a new heart.

Through the New Covenant, God offers something the Old Covenant could never accomplish on its own: transformed hearts, a personal relationship with Him, and complete and eternal forgiveness.

Jesus established this New Covenant through His blood, offering forgiveness, transformation, and eternal li...

God is extraordinarily patient, but His patience should never be mistaken for approval.

In 2 Chronicles 36, Jerusalem repeatedly rejects God’s warnings until rebellion brings them to a devastating place: captivity, destruction, and ruin. The story of Zedekiah and Judah reminds us that knowing what God says is not the same as obeying Him. Every time God speaks, our hearts either yield or resist.

The voices we listen to shape t...

God Himself is the present help for those who worship Him. We live in a world filled with things competing for our worship.

Daniel 3 shows us three men who refused to bow to anything or anyone other than the one true King. Their faithfulness reminds us that worship is ultimately about who sits on the throne of our lives. When we choose our own way over God’s way, we are placing ourselves on the throne. True worship refuses to...

Welcome back for Part II of this special Q&A as we continue answering some of life's most important questions through the truth of God's Word.

In this message, Pastor Terry Fant continues addressing common questions about eternity, heaven, and what the Bible teaches about life after death. Rather than relying on opinions or tradition, this study points us to the authority of Scripture and the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Whether...

Will we know our loved ones in heaven? Will our relationships continue in eternity?

In Part I of this special Q&A message, Pastor Terry Fant answers some of the most frequently asked questions by Christians, such as:

• Will we keep our identity in heaven?

• Will we recognize family and friends?

• Do believers become angels?

• Can those in heaven see what is happening on earth?

If you've ever wondered what eternity will be like...

Revival is more than emotional moments, outward activity, or religious tradition. True revival begins when we personally seek God, confront the things competing for our allegiance, restore the worship of God to its rightful place, and humbly respond to His Word.

Join us as we discover what is necessary for true revival and how a genuine pursuit of God transforms our priorities, confronts our competing loyalties, and redirects our l...

No one is too far gone for the grace of God.

In 2 Chronicles 33:1–16, we see the powerful story of King Manasseh—a man who led others into sin, rejected God’s warnings, and found himself in a place of complete brokenness.

Yet when Manasseh humbled himself and cried out to God, the Lord graciously heard him and restored him. This message reminds us that following our own hearts can lead us to desolate places, but r...

Our rebellion may change our condition, but it can never change God's character.

Failure is something every one of us knows. Whether it's in our marriage, our family, our faith, or our daily walk with Christ, we've all fallen short. But our failures are never the end of the story because God's mercy never fails.

If you've ever wondered whether you've gone too far, failed too many times, or drifted too far from God, this message is ...

Adversity is inevitable—but it doesn't have to stop us. In this episode, we finish our journey through Nehemiah 4 and discover powerful lessons for persevering through adversity.

We are challenged to know and safeguard our weak spots, remember the Lord when fear and opposition arise, and embrace a “whatever it takes” mentality in the mission God has given us.

The enemy will attack our identity, our ability, and ev...

In this episode we continue our journey through Nehemiah 4 and explore what it means to persevere through adversity. Following God does not mean opposition will disappear—in fact, we should expect the enemy to continue resisting the work God is doing in our lives.

But how do we remain faithful when the attacks continue? We must stay watchful. Through prayer, the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and the church, God has given us t...
