How good of a driver are you when no one is on the road? It’s just you and the open highway - and you’re the master, right? What if we through rush hour traffic into the mix? Pastor Dion cautions us today that anyone can be a SUPER Christian when they don’t have to deal with people or a community. They think they are flawless. Yet our faith is proved when we are in the midst of the church communit...

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 h...

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.

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 he...

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 bri...

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...

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 th...

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...

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 get...

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 f...

There's a good chance that at some point in your life, you have prepared for some kind of major event. It may have been a storm coming through or maybe a big change in your life. In today's message, Pastor Dion tells us that in the same way we prepare for those kinds of things, we also need to be prepared for the return of the Lord. We do not know when it will happen; therefore, each and every day...

All of us have a legal record. Depending on some of the choices we've made in life some of us have clean records, and some of us have records that aren't so clean. But what about God's record of us? In today's message, Pastor Dion will be talking about how Jesus keeps no records of wrongs. In fact, He tells us that if we repent of our sins and ask Him to forgive us that our mistakes and failures a...

Salvation from Jesus is easily the best and most rewarding gift that one could possibly receive on earth, but where do we go after we receive our salvation? In today's message, Pastor Dion is going to be talking about how things don't just stop after we are saved. Moving forward, we are called to grow and mature as Christians into the faith, and in doing so we become more Christ-like. This is done...

Before sending Jesus to the cross, Pontius Pilate offered to release a Hebrew prisoner. The Jewish leaders, set on killing Jesus, called for the release of a murderous insurrectionist named Barabbas instead of the innocent Jesus. In effect, Jesus died in place of Barabbas. But Pastor Dion explains today that Jesus also died in our place. The story of Barabbas mirrors our story. Though we are the o...

Today, Pastor Dion walks us through God’s grace for sinners throughout the story of Scripture. From the beginning – when Adam and Eve first sinned – God provided a substitute for their punishment. God showed mercy on Adam and Eve and killed an animal in their place, even though they were the ones who deserved death. This theme is repeated throughout the Bible, as God constantly rescues and forgive...

Jesus, being God, chose to live as a human and to suffer firsthand the tragedy of living in a world broken by sin. It can be easy to forget the humanity of Jesus, that He really did experience life the same as all of us do. Pastor Dion reminds us today that Jesus faced the same hardships, challenges, and emotions that we face. Yes, He is fully God. But that doesn’t mean His life on earth was any e...

At first glance, the New Testament may seem to have very little to do with the Old Testament. But upon further study, it becomes clear that the whole story is about Jesus. This is what Pastor Dion points out today – God has revealed Himself to humanity through Jesus Christ. As He taught His disciples, Jesus made it clear that the Law and the Prophets spoke of Him, and that He was with the Father s...

The Bible describes many attributes of God – we know that He is loving and merciful, and good. But today, Pastor Dion points out the attribute of God that is mentioned more than any other in the Bible – His holiness. And holiness has a couple of meanings; for one, it speaks of God’s separateness – that He is set apart from all others, and is higher. But the word “holy” also speaks to God’s sinless...

God is the author of all life. Pastor Dion reminds us today of God’s amazing creation of the world. But not only does God create new life, but He also resurrects what was dead. For example, in the Old Testament, God resurrected Sarah’s barren womb and Moses’ lifeless staff. In the New Testament, God demonstrated His resurrection power by raising Jesus back to life! And with Jesus’ resurrection com...

As Pastor Dion discusses what God is like today, he reminds us how good and powerful God is. But this raises the question: if God is in control, why do bad things still happen? Pastor Dion acknowledges that we live in a broken world stained by the sin of humans. But he also reminds us that God is with us through all our suffering. While bad things are inevitable on this side of eternity, God will...

As Pastor Dion teaches about the attributes of God today, he emphasizes that God is like no other. God is utterly unique, and He alone is in power. The devil is not equal and opposite to God; God is far more powerful than Satan will ever be. Contemplating the absolute greatness and wisdom of God can be frightening. And yet, our God chooses to love us! If we have given our life to Christ, these tru...

The Bible tells us exactly what God's character is like. But God doesn't want us to stop there. He wants us to continually seek Him so that we may have a deep, personal, and intimate relationship with Him. But what does that look like? How can you have such a powerful relationship with an invisible creator? Pastor Dion puts it this way: Today, we must seek God continually. As we pursue Him, He wil...

To deny the existence of God is a matter of rebellion. Coming to the conclusion that God doesn't exist simply doesn't make sense once you begin to consider the complexity of creation. From the interworkings of all living organisms to the endless expanse of space, there is too much going on for a reality without God to even be possible. In today's message, Pastor Dion tackles the question: does God...
