Delisle Community Church Podcast

Jesus said a lot of remarkable things in the Gospels. But one of the most challenging might be this: "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing..." Did Jesus really mean that? And if he did...what does that actually look like today? This week, we explore one of Jesus' most astonishing promises and discover how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary followers of Jesus to p...

For our 10th Annual Motorcycle Sunday, we were honoured to welcome Pastor Jimmy Rush, who brought a timely and challenging message. In a world that tells us to chase status, build our platform, and make a name for ourselves, Jesus calls us to something completely different: the way of humility. It's a message our culture desperately needs—and one every follower of Jesus needs to hear. Give it...

Have you ever noticed that the more time you spend with someone, the more you begin to sound like them, think like them, and even pick up their habits? The same is true in our spiritual lives. The Holy Spirit is God's personal presence with us. As we spend time with Him and learn to walk in step with Him, He gradually transforms us into the likeness of Jesus. What if spiritual transformation i...

Would you trade your current experience of the Holy Spirit for a face-to-face encounter with Jesus? I thought so.  My friend, that’s a big problem.  According to Jesus himself, it’s not supposed to be that way.  Join us we explore the person of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 11:28–30 is one of the most beloved passages in the Bible. Jesus’ invitation to find rest in him has comforted countless people through the years. But those verses don’t stand alone. Like the rest of Matthew 11, they are deeply rooted in Jesus’ identity. Before Jesus invites the weary to come to him, he reveals who he truly is. In verses 25–27, Jesus anchors rest in revelation. Rest is not...

This Sunday, we participated in a child dedication. What a beautiful celebration they are. They are also a powerful reminder of the role that families and the church community play in the spiritual formation of children. Today is an invitation to commit ourselves to that important work!

Our stories are one of the most powerful tools we have for sharing the good news of the gospel. Because Jesus is alive, He is still meeting people today—and that means we each have a story to tell. This Sunday, we sat at the feet of one of the great masters of testimony: Apostle Paul.

"I was one way and now I am completely different. And the thing in between was him." This week, we got practical looking at a biblical framework to help us see our stories with Jesus at the center. Take a listen.

Eastertide is such a joyous season! It's the continued celebration that, "He is Risen!!" But this joyous celebration is only the beginning, because the resurrection of Jesus doesn't not just invite celebration, but also participation. And one of the greatest ways we get to participate is by sharing our story of encountering the risen Jesus! Whether you think your story is excitin...

Doug Barr, Camp Director at Ranger Lake Bible Camp, was with us this week to promote there upcoming camp season and their theme for the year. As church, we love camp and want to partner with them introducing campers to Jesus. Join us in that important work by: 1. Praying for this amazing ministry 2. Listen to this podcast episode so that you can help get others excited about another year of camp!

What a beautiful day of celebration! He is Risen!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌 The resurrection of Jesus is the definitive moment in history! It changes everything! And it can change everything for you. Give our Easter message a listen!

Psalm 130 feels like it was written for Good Friday. Let us use as a guide leading us in both the posture of Hope and Humility.

"Do you want to live a blessed life?"🙌 Most of us would answer that question without a second thought. A resounding "Yes!" The real question isn't whether we want a blessed life or not, it's whether we are willing to do what it takes to experience it. Psalm 128 shows us the road: "Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to Him" Listen t...

“Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.” We’ve arrived. The spirit of this Psalm is the relief that comes after a long journey. The moment when tired feet finally reach their destination. You’ve made it. But the painful reality is that neither we—nor our world—have arrived at our final destination just yet. There is still so much brokenness along the road. So what are we to do in the mean...

“I lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from?” In other words: Where do you go when life gets hard? In the ancient world, people often worshipped on the high places. When they looked to the hills, they were looking to the places where others believed help could be found. We might not climb mountains to find help today, but we still search for it in all kinds of places: money, com...

Three times a year, the people of Israel would leave their homes and make the journey up to Jerusalem to worship. Along the road, they sang the Songs of Ascents —melodies shaped for the climb. Which means that during Passover, Jesus, his disciples, and the crowds filling the city would have had these songs echoing in their hearts. As we journey toward Easter, maybe these ancient songs can shape ou...

A lot of attention in Matthew 11 goes to the identity of John and Jesus. But here, Jesus shifts his focus to the crowd—and how they’ve responded to the message. His challenge is simple, direct, and still relevant today: “Stop being childish!”

This Sunday, we stepped back into the Gospel of Matthew, picking up right where we left off—questions and doubts surrounding Jesus’ identity. After responding to John’s disciples, Jesus turns to the crowd and leaves little room for doubt. Without saying it outright, he makes it clear exactly who he is.

As our Practice Series comes to a close, we turn our attention to one of the great dangers of Christian community: turning inward. The church was never meant to be a closed circle, but an open table. A place where the broken, the outsider, and the lonely are warmly welcomed. This week, we wrestle with how to resist the temptation to prioritize comfort over calling, and how to remain a community sh...

Is Jesus anti-family? Some of his words might make it sound that way. But look a little closer, and you’ll see the opposite is true. Jesus wasn’t tearing family down—he was expanding it. The community he was forming wasn’t meant to be an event or a building, but a family. Through him, we gain a Father. And we gain brothers and sisters.

There are two parallel phrases about Jesus in the Gospels that belong together: “The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost,” and “The Son of Man came eating and drinking.” One tells us why Jesus came: to rescue the broken and overlooked. The other tells us how he did it: by sharing meals. A shared meal does more than fill our bodies. It softens walls, turns strangers into friends, and shows th...

In 2017, the U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness a public health epidemic. Across the world, countless people feel its quiet weight. Maybe that’s you right now. Here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to stay that way. In the life of Jesus, we see a practice that cuts through isolation and leads us to what we’re really longing for—meaningful connection. This year, our Practice Series is focused...

This Sunday, we returned to the Gospel of Matthew to continue our intentional walk through the whole story of Jesus together. We come back to the story at a junction. Jesus's disciples have been sent on a mini missions trip, Jesus continues to share the good news of the Kingdom, and John is in prison. And it's from his prison walls that John teaches us something profound.

Well, we did it! We sang the songs, read the story, lit all the candles and celebrated with loved ones. Christmas has come and gone. But does that mean it's time to pack it all away until next year? Or is there something we are intended to take with us? This week, we met with two final characters of Christmas and explored how their stories point us to a new kind of waiting.
