The Simple Truth

In life, no one likes dwelling in a bad situation. Perhaps you are there for a season but you are believing in a light at the end of the tunnel. Jesus is there to see you through. Pastor Dion emphasizes that Jesus will always turn a negative into a positive for the good of those who love and follow Him. The scriptures also urge us not to keep sinning just because of grace but to strive for God's heart. Don’t take advantage of the love of God but allow God to turn your loss into a win for His heavenly kingdom.

You’ve heard the phrase - ‘what is your gut telling you?’ Because saying, “What is the Holy Spirit telling you,” doesn’t necessarily roll right off the tongue, right? Yet, Pastor Dion reminds us that the Holy Spirit will never lead you outside of truth. When it comes to tough decisions as a Christian, there will be a deep feeling in your soul. If a situation seems like it’s off from the character of Jesus, that’s the Holy Spirit urging you that it is. Today, listen to the Holy Spirit and trust your gut to walk in truth!

In this day and age of media at our fingertips, it seems we have a how-to video on everything. What if you could have the best teacher for your faith and access them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - TODAY? Pastor Dion encourages us that we have THE BEST helper in the world that guides and inspires our spiritual lives to look more like Jesus. Pastor Dion goes further in urging us that you don’t even have to subscribe to a pricey masterclass to access the Holy Spirit - He is always with us! He is simply the best!

When Joshua lead Israel into the promised land, after crossing the Jordan River, they took stones from the river and made a monument as a reminder of God's faithfulness. Pastor Dion tells us today that it's important to be reminded of God's works often. If we lose sight of who God is, we won't act in faith but in fear. The Holy Spirit reminds us and encourages us to have faith. The same God who helped Israel across the Jordan was the same God who would take down the Jericho wall, and is the same God helping us today!

Everyone, Everywhere, Forever. That means you and I are not exempt from the work of The Spirit, and it also means He is even working on that one person that really gets on our nerves! Pastor Dion will dive deeper into what the work of the Holy Spirit is in today's message, and he'll encourage us to both submit to and join in that mission. God is building His Kingdom in us, and around us. He is bringing people to Himself, redeeming, and refining each of us. What better work can we join than that?

Going to therapy, special programs, and rehab aren't bad things, but when it comes to the root issue of sin in our lives, Jesus truly is our only hope. No matter how much self-effort we put in, we can never save ourselves from sin. We will hear today from Pastor Dion, that it's the Holy Spirit that reveals that sin to us, draws us to Jesus, and frees us from that sticky, entangling sin issue. The Christian faith is not some religious act of pulling ourselves up, it is amazing grace and forgiveness that dwells with us.

What comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? Is it tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost? Or maybe you think of the story of creation when God's Spirit hovered over the waters? Do you think of the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of you and me? Pastor Dion Shares today about the Holy Spirit, who He is, and how we not only have access to Him, but that he dwells in us, and empowers us to do the good work God calls us to. If you've ever wondered about the Holy Spirit's role, stick around for today's episode!

We aren't saved by our works but by Jesus. However, Pastor Dion shares today that our works DO make a difference! Can you imagine if a bride didn't care how she dressed for her wedding? If she didn't shower, or put on clean clothes, brush her hair, or really put any attention into getting ready? What would that say about her affection towards her future husband? If you and the believers around you are the Bride of Christ, what are you doing to prepare for that wedding banquet with the Lord?

For most of us, the majority of our time is focused on taking care of our physical needs and wants. Food, clothing, shelter, health, security, comfort, hobbies... Even our prayer life can get bogged down and center on only those things. Pastor Dion warns us today that we can get off track if that is all we are looking to, and that Satan's trap is baited with all of those things. When the going gets tough, would you be willing to die, or will you bow to the granter of temporary satisfaction?

As a believer in Jesus Christ, you have an ultimate peace that you can rest in which is knowing where you will go when your time on earth comes to an end. In today's message, Pastor Dion will be talking more about this, and also about how the last days will play out. It tells us in the Bible that when we become absent from our bodies, that we will become present with the Lord. There is no better feeling than knowing that one day we will reside with our Father in Heaven.
