The Simple Truth

Does your past stifle you? Are you trying to turn your life around but can’t find any way to dig yourself out of your mistakes? In today’s message, Pastor Dion illustrates that if you want to be forever changed, let God’s grace wash you white as snow. It's not something you have to work for or deserve; it's a gift freely given because of the blood of Jesus. This grace enables you to confidently ap...

What impact does Jesus have on your life? It's incredible how His sacrifice on the cross redeems us and invites us into a deeply personal relationship with Him. Today, Pastor Dion wants you to know that instead of feeling pressured to meet religious standards to earn God's love, rest assured that Jesus has already done everything necessary for you to have an intimate connection with Him. Step into...

Have you ever been ridiculed for your love of God? Today, Pastor Dion reminds us of the story of Mary and her gift to Jesus when she anointed his feet with oil. Mary had experienced the restoration and salvation of Jesus. She went all out and offered Jesus her best. Criticism followed from other religious people. Church attendance one day a week does not draw anyone’s criticism, but worshiping God...

Why do we attend church? It should not be out of duty or obligation. In today’s message, Pastor Dion challenges us to be like the early church whose members had their lives transformed by Jesus. People, whose lives had been filled with anger, anxiety, and rebellion, now come together with a common Savior and a common faith. We come to thank God for salvation. We come to express our gratitude, appr...

Did you ever hear big news, and think it was the most important event in history? In today’s message, Pastor Dion tells us that the biggest news was not Jesus’ ascension into heaven, but that he descended to earth in the first place. Jesus left the glory of heaven to come to a lost, dark, and cursed world to save us. We are the reason for His coming. Just like Zacheus, Jesus knows our names, And H...

God is the one who initiates our interest in knowing Him. He may use miracles, testimonies, hardships, or whatever He knows will draw us to Him. Today, Pastor Dion reminds us of these truths. He says that before we believed, we were uncomfortable with spiritual things. Sometimes people even have hostility towards churches, pastors, or religion. People are not attracted to God until He stirs up the...

Can you imagine being in a hurry to face suffering? In today’s message, Pastor Dion reminds us just how much Jesus loves us. On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus told His disciples that they were going there for Him to be betrayed, tortured, crucified, and killed, and yet, Jesus was in a hurry to get there. He did it because he could not wait to provide salvation for mankind. No greater love could ever...

Is there anything in your life that is preventing you from hearing God? There’s so much that can distract us in this life. Social media, political news, our jobs, or even the busyness of our own minds. We can complain that we don’t know God’s will for our lives, but are we leaving room to hear Him? In today’s message, Pastor Dion will challenge you to quiet your life so you can hear the voice of J...

Are you a regular church attendee, or do you think you don’t really need it? Maybe you’ve been hurt by someone at church, so you think you can have a relationship with God on your own. In his message today, Pastor Dion will remind you that church is not a perfect place, but where two or more Christians are gathered, God is there. The church is God’s vessel to expand His Kingdom. It is essential th...

What are you holding on to? Are you holding onto something in this world or are you holding onto Jesus? It can be so difficult to give up that vice or that thing that we think is bringing us security or happiness. In today’s message, Pastor Dion will challenge you to let go of what you’re holding onto in this world. God has so much life and joy that is waiting for you in Jesus if you would just le...

Do you have childlike faith? Jesus isn’t asking you to have a childish faith, but a childlike faith. A child accepts without question, but as we grow older, we tend to have a harder time accepting things on faith. In his message today, Pastor Dion will teach that like a child you should simply believe, receive, and enjoy. Jesus tells you to not worry about the simple needs of your life, what you w...

All you need to come to God is simple, child-like faith. In today’s message, Pastor Dion will examine the account of the little children coming to Jesus. It’s a tender moment that wouldn’t have happened if the disciples had their way. It seemed like a waste of their Rabbi’s time to talk with these kids - what good could come of it? But, Jesus rebuked His disciples for this thinking - these kids ca...

God knows your heart even better than you do. He knows your every need and desire, and He knows the way your heart has fallen into disrepair or deception. All He asks of us is that we come to Him with simple, child-like faith - like a young child running to their loving father after a fall. As Pastor Dion will explain in today’s message, we don’t have to know or understand how our God will fix us,...

Does every part of your life honor and glorify God? …Will your death bring Him glory as well? Most of us have some fear of death. For some, it’s debilitating while others give it little thought, but it’s a common problem. As Pastor Dion will encourage us in today’s message, as believers, we don’t need to be afraid. Yes, it may be uncomfortable. It could be sudden and sooner than you’d like, but if...

How could death be a part of God’s plan? Isn’t it the opposite of what He designed humanity for? As Pastor Dion will explain in today’s message, our God is a Redeemer. He’s all-knowing and wise, and He knows that death and suffering are some of the most impactful things we experience in this world. He doesn’t want or cause those things in our lives, but as a Redeemer, He can take them and turn the...

How do you get light into a room after a dark night? You open the windows, right? All of us are born into this world with darkness inside. We’re bent on serving self and rejecting the sovereignty of God. We close our hearts to Him because of this nature. As we’ll be reminded in today’s message from Pastor Dion, it’s our choice to open the windows and doors of our hearts to God. Even after salvatio...

None of us want suffering or pain. You don’t need to go seeking it out - in this broken world, it will find you. In your times of trial, it can be easy to feel bad for yourself and maybe even start to question the goodness of God. As Pastor Dion continues leading us through his study of Scripture’s encounters with Jesus, he’ll remind us that God is not the source of your hardship. But, He wants to...

There are only two paths that can be taken in this life. The first path is broad and it’s the most traveled by those in the world, and the second is narrow and there are few that go on that path. As Pastor Dion continues his teaching series, he’ll be encouraging you to be a light in this dark world and to help others see that the proper path to take is the one leading to Jesus and eternal life wit...

It has been said that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Today, Pastor Dion will be reminding you that as a Christian there will be times of persecution and trials here on this Earth and that if you're a genuine follower of Jesus, you’ll still shine as a light even when it gets dark....

When was the last time you preached the Gospel to an unbeliever and made disciples? Today, Pastor Dion will be challenging you to obey the Great Commission and to examine yourself to see if you're truly obeying the Words of Jesus. If you're spending all your time building up your own empire on Earth rather than helping further God’s Kingdom, you're living in sin. You're still here for a purpose, a...

That is so true! Loving God is easy, right? I mean, how hard is it to love someone who is perfect? It’s loving imperfect people that’s difficult. As Pastor Dion teaches you today, Jesus commands us to love everyone. Not just those who think like you, look like you and act like you. If you call yourself a follower of Jesus, then you must also display the character of Jesus. Like the good Samaritan,...

Isn’t that so encouraging? I’m sure you’ve often felt similar to how Moses felt when God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt: “But God! Who am I? I can’t do such a big thing!” And you know what? You’re right! You can’t do such big things on your own! As Pastor Dion teaches you today when God calls you to do His work, He equips you with the most powerful thing so that you can accomplish...

We’ve all messed up. Maybe you’ve messed up so badly that you don’t think you could ever be forgiven. Maybe you think all you deserve is punishment. Today, Pastor Dion shows us the tenderness of Jesus as He encounters a woman caught in a horrific sin. According to the law, she deserves to die. But Jesus stoops down to her level and offers her mercy and forgiveness. If you find yourself in a simila...

What’s the thirstiest you’ve ever been? Maybe it was after playing sports in the hot summer sun. Or after you had just eaten a pile of spicy chicken wings. I’m sure the only thing that could satisfy you at that moment was a cup of cold, refreshing water. Today, Pastor Dion teaches that Jesus told His followers that He is the living water! Jesus freely offers an abundance of grace, peace, forgivene...

If you ask any superstar athlete the recipe to their success, they would all say that it takes hard work and dedication. They’re constantly practicing and working on their skills. They’re reviewing film sessions and learning from their coaches and mentors. The same is necessary for Christians. As Pastor Dion teaches you today, in order to be ready and effective for God’s work, you need to be fille...
