The Simple Truth

Did you know that Jesus seeks you out personally? In today’s teaching, Pastor Dion will show listeners how Jesus found Levi the tax collector, in the midst of a crowd. Someone who would have been slandered by the crowd, Jesus went and found him. Perhaps you feel left out, alone, or rejected. Jesus desires a relationship with you. Yes, He came for the whole world, but He was thinking of you when He died on the cross. How inspiring to be on the mind of God, even when we are at our lowest points!

What is there to possibly value more than your eternal standing before God? Today, Pastor Dion will teach listeners that Jesus was Almighty God and that His forgiveness of your sins is worth more than anything. When the paralyzed man received healing, he was also given forgiveness of his sins. There is no greater “feeling of healing” than to know our eternity is secure! Walking in sin is dark and burdensome, but when Jesus sets us free, we can live with more joy and purpose as we represent Him!

How deep is your faith today? Are you actively pursuing it, or is it “just there?” In today’s teaching, Pastor Dion will show listeners how the friends of the paralyzed man in Luke 5, took action! Because of their faith in Jesus, they took radical steps to encounter Him, and as a result, their friend was healed. What area of your life could use a little bit more faith? May we have the courage, boldness, and passion to run after Jesus, trusting in Him, even if the world around us thinks we are crazy!

How comforting it is to know that the God of the universe wants to know us, and care for us, on a personal level! In today’s message, Pastor Dion will look at the story of Jesus and the leper. If anyone had reason to walk “holier than thou,” it was Jesus, but He met everyone from all walks of life with love and grace. Even the man who was “unclean,” Jesus personally sought him out. So don’t be ashamed of your “status,” God still pursues you and desires a personal relationship with you!

Have you only believed in Jesus, but not yet chosen to follow Him with your life? Today, Pastor Dion will teach listeners that there is so much more of Jesus to experience when we follow Him! While the first step in a relationship with Jesus is to believe in Him, He desires something much deeper. As we grow in our walk with Him, and His direction in our life, we become more like Him! In a world that clamors for your attention, choose to follow the One who is the source of life and salvation!

How well do you know Jesus? How well do you think He knows you? You can bet that there’s nothing about you, no detail too small, that He doesn’t know completely. Today Pastor Dion says Jesus wants you to get to know Him the same way. Every detail, no matter how small. He wants you to seek Him and learn everything about HIm. Jesus invites you to look for flaws because there aren’t any. He is perfect and wants you to discover this as you seek Him and deepen in your relationship with Him.

Who can save you from your sin? Only one - Jesus! You may not be comfortable admitting it, but the truth is, everyone is a sinner. Everyone falls short of the Kingdom of God. Today Pastor Dion makes this point clear but also offers hope. Jesus was sent to remove that sin and offer a path to righteousness. Only He can make that promise, and give you freedom from your sin. Once you can admit your sins to God and accept Him as your savior, you will receive His salvation and the freedom that is given to all who believe.

There is always someone or something in our lives that serves as a distraction. The enemy makes every effort to keep us from developing a relationship with God. Pastor Dion explains in today's message, how the enemy tries to put a barrier between you and God. God is constantly looking for ways to reach out to you and guide you, but Satan is looking for the opposite, so he brings a distraction at a crucial moment. But you can rejoice because Jesus is with you and will never let the enemy defeat you.

Have you ever heard an ambulance or fire department siren, warning you that an emergency vehicle is approaching from a distance? Similarly, the Bible warns us of the end times that are approaching for humanity, as God's judgment falls upon us. Pastor Dion clarifies today, how only Jesus can save you from God's wrath. We cannot have a relationship with the Father because we are sinners. When Jesus died on the cross, however, He washed away all of our sins. Jesus is the only one, who can save us from judgment.

We frequently make promises to others. We end up committing to people even though we are not up for the task. Because we are all flawed, we all fail to keep our promises from time to time. But did you know there is someone who always follows through on His commitments? Pastor Dion tells you today, about God's promises to you. Despite the fact that we are unworthy, Jesus has made a certain covenant with us. You can count on Him to keep His promises to you because He loves you more than anyone else!
