Podcasts about simple truth


Jesus is the active head of the church, deeply involved in the lives of His people, because redemption is not just a one-time event, but an ongoing relationship. Christ continues His work in us, shaping and refining us daily. Pastor Dion reminds you today that Jesus is committed to maintaining your spiritual life, keeping you strong and faithful. Just as a loving shepherd tends to his flock, Christ tends to His church. And His desire is to keep you in good working order, growing in faith and obedience.

Who are we? We are either the "ego" that we made up, or we are the unlimited Being that God Created whole and complete. This is a fundamental question we must ask ourself to be aligned with A Course in Miracles. "I am the Holy Son of God Himself" (or Herself). To the ego in organized "Christianity" this would be the epitome of arrogance. ACIM would maintain that actually it is "arrogance" to deny our Identity as the Son (Daughter) of God Himself. We are familiar with this denial that casues us pain and suffering. The state of affairs requires a big shift in our perspective on our true Identity. If we deny our own Identity, we will go mad as we get sick, age, and die. This Lesson is the antidote for the "Denial of our true Identity." We posit the truth within our mind and whole being. "I am the holy Son of God Himself." This is a statement of a fact. Humble in its acceptance of the Simple Truth.


God desires His church to be more than just a place we attend… It's meant to be a place where we refuel, recharge, and revive our hearts. He invites us into His presence so we can experience Him more deeply. Today, Pastor Dion teaches you that the church is a place of revelation, where you come to hear, see, and understand more about Jesus. It's where connection happens, not just with others, but with Christ Himself. And you're invited to draw near and experience Him like never before.

If God is for us, who can be against us? Absolutely no one! Today, Pastor Dion teaches you that even in uncertain times, God's presence remains steady and sure. He holds you close, and His promises are unshakeable. No matter what you're facing, remember this truth: As a Christian, nothing in all creation can separate you from the love of God. So stand tall, lift your head, and walk forward with confidence, knowing the One who is for you is greater than anything that comes against you.


In a world that is ever-changing, God's power remains constant, and His truth stands firm. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and far above all things, yet near to every heart that calls on Him. Pastor Dion reminds you in his message today that God is not only transcendent and mighty, but also your Savior and King. There is nothing beyond His reach, no moment outside His presence, and no life beyond His care. Let your heart rest in His greatness, and let your spirit rise in worship to the everlasting King.

When we give our lives to God, He begins a work in us that transforms us from the inside out. We see this beautifully in John, who, after Jesus' death and resurrection, became known as the apostle of love. Once rebellious and impulsive, he became gentle and patient. Pastor Dion tells you today that the God who changed John is at work in your life, too. He desires to shape your heart, soften your spirit, and fill you with His love. That kind of transformation is what God wants others to see in you… What a change!

What kind of seeds are you planting with your words and actions? As a Christian, it's very easy to get caught in the trap of a judgmental and condemning attitude. The world doesn't need this message from the very people who've been saved by God's grace alone. Pastor Dion encourages you today to reach out to others in love, helping them shoulder their burdens. If you plant seeds of grace and mercy, you'll see these more in your life and from others. Cultivate a life that welcomes others into God's family.

When you take an inventory of the relationships in your life, do you find you're invested in those who don't yet know Jesus? If you only surround yourself with people who think and act like you, you're not able to be a conduit of God's grace to those who truly need it. Pastor Dion reveals that Jesus did ministry wherever He was because He was about relationships. His friend list included tax collectors, sinners, and prostitutes. God freely gave you His grace so you can give it to those who are desperate for it.

What makes you truly excited to the point of rejoicing? Do you get loud and celebrate when your favorite sports team wins? Do you get excited and rejoice when you're at a concert? Pastor Dion will be challenging you today to examine if you're able to celebrate and rejoice over temporal earthly things, but not so much over eternal things. Are you filled with celebration when someone gets saved? Do you rejoice when you see a marriage restored or a wayward child coming back home?

If you were offered a free luxury package vacation that included an all-inclusive resort, free food, and free excursions, chances are you would be excited, but you would be waiting for the catch. In this world, typically, nothing like that is just offered for free. Today, Pastor Dion will be explaining to you how, as a child of God, you've been truly given a free luxury package that you don't have to earn by works. He's given you access to His throne, He's given you entrance into Paradise, but also freedom from sin!

God's Simple Truth

As Pastor Dion continues his teaching series through the Book of Galatians, he'll be encouraging you to trust in God's provision and grace. God is faithful, even when you aren't being faithful, because He is not like man. You have been given an incorruptible inheritance from God the Father because you became His child the moment you received the free gift of salvation through Jesus. You can rejoice in knowing that you have all the benefits of being God Almighty's child.

Have you ever examined the lives of the religious leaders of Jesus' day while reading through the scriptures? Today, Pastor Dion will be explaining how trying to obey the law and trying to earn salvation through works and rituals will always leave you miserable and dry. The Pharisees seemed to completely lack all joy, even though they were supposedly God's spiritual leaders over God's people. There is freedom and joy for those who can rest in the knowledge that they are forgiven by grace.

Have you ever questioned if you're truly saved and going to Heaven when you die? The Apostle Paul challenges the church when he says you should examine yourself to see whether you're truly in the faith. It's healthy for you to examine yourself to see if you've ever truly received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or if you've backslidden into sin. Pastor Dion will be asking you a few questions to help you examine yourself in his teaching today. If you obey God's commands, the Bible says you love God.

If your mom or dad were to give you a gift from their heart, would you freely receive it, or would you try to give them money for it? God has given you the free gift of salvation because of His grace. The moment you try to earn your salvation, it's no longer receiving God's grace through faith. As Pastor Dion continues his teaching series through Galatians, he'll be challenging you to stop trying to earn God's favor and to believe that you already have it because of the sacrifice of Jesus.

Have you ever been thrown a party by the government if you've never broken the law? Has the town that you live in ever recognized you and given you anything for being a good law-abiding citizen? The answer is most likely no. This is because the laws aren't meant to reward, but they are meant to point out to you what you're doing wrong and punish you. Pastor Dion will be explaining to you that this is the same way the Law of God works as well. It's meant to teach you that you are a sinner in need of saving.

Today, Pastor Dion will be reminding you that regardless of how much good you've done in your life, you're still not worthy to enter into Heaven. The Bible says that your righteous deeds are as filthy rags before a holy God. This is why God gave His people the Ten Commandments and all the rules and regulations in the Law of Moses, to show you that you can't keep the rules perfectly and that you need a Savior. You can only depend on the Holiness of Jesus living within you on the day of Judgment.

What's the source of your salvation? Is it from going to Church 3 times a week or reading your Bible every day? Is it from keeping the rules and being kind to others? So many of us live that way. As Pastor Dion will remind you in today's message, salvation doesn't come from anything you can do. God does care about your actions, but they can never be good enough for His approval. It's only when you allow Christ to cover your sinful heart that you can be seen as righteous in God's sight.

The God who brought water from a rock, parted the Red Sea, restored sight to the blind, made the lame walk, and raised the dead is the very same God who dwells within you in the form of the Holy Spirit. As Pastor Dion will remind you in today's message, not only is He still working in us, but He's still doing miracles. Unfortunately, we often lack the faith to even ask for His intervention, but when we start trusting in Him and believing He is capable, we will start to see amazing things happen.

Conquering habitual sins can be extremely challenging. It can seem impossible, in fact. When Satan sets his claws in you, he won't let go easily. Even if he can't have your soul, he loves to rob you of the joy and freedom that God has given you through Christ. As Pastor Dion will remind you in today's message, you can't defeat this cunning, relentless enemy on your own. You need the help of the Holy Spirit as well as the accountability and support of your brothers and sisters in the faith.

If you've studied the Bible for any length of time, you've likely noticed a pattern. From character to character, they all have something in common: they are normal, everyday sinners. Yet, God loves them, and He uses them to do great things. As Pastor Dion illustrates in the story of the adulterous woman and her confrontation with Jesus, God is gracious, but He doesn't want you to stay in your sin. He forgives our sin and then proceeds to push us towards a righteous life that glorifies Him.

Your works cannot save you. You can live a horrible life of sin and rebellion against God, yet, in His incredible grace, He will save you on your deathbed if you genuinely repent. That isn't a reason to put off this decision (that's a risky game to play), but it does demonstrate the nature of His love. As Pastor Dion demonstrates with the story of the thief next to Christ on the cross, he was minutes from death, but Christ didn't require anything of him but his faith, and he granted him access to the Kingdom.

Even children, who are the most innocent amongst us, are naturally sinful. From a very early age, they know how to lie, cheat, steal, and ultimately put themselves over others. We have Adam and Eve to thank for this. Their choice to trust their own judgment over God's led to their fall, and that nature has been passed on to all of us from birth. As Pastor Dion will remind us in today's message, even if you feel like you're pretty good, you still fall short and desperately need a Redeemer.

God has invited you into His family. He went beyond simple compassion for you; He didn't just feel bad for you. He loved you so much that He made a way for you to become a son or daughter alongside His son Jesus. As Pastor Dion continues to dive into the book of Galatians in today's message, he will remind you of the extreme grace that has been extended to you. All you have to do is believe and accept it, and through Christ, you can be made righteous and find belonging in God's house.

You have been born into sin. You can live by the law, keep every commandment to the best of your ability, yet in the end, it wouldn't be enough. Your heart still holds sin, even if you are nearly perfect on the surface. The gap between you and the perfection of God is far too wide. There's nothing you can do to cross it on your own. But, as Pastor Dion will lovingly remind you in today's message, Christ has bridged that gap, and He invites all to cross through Him into intimacy with His Father.

Whenever we experience hatred or persecution for our faith, it can sometimes catch us off guard. Rather than remembering the spiritual battle at hand, we sometimes go off of instinct and forget the majority of what we've learned. As Pastor Dion will teach you in his message today, the most important thing we can do is remind ourselves that God wants to save that person, too. In his study, you'll learn that one of the common reasons many become so hostile is due to the spiritual conflict within themselves.

Perhaps one of the most unfortunate misconceptions regarding salvation is that it's a simple profession of faith and life goes on. Rather than an amazing life that's filled with adventure and growth, many think of salvation as a single event in life. However, as Pastor Dion will teach you in today's message, salvation is only the beginning to a life of abundance and joy. In his study, you'll learn how Jesus has every intention for you to continually grow in faith and proclaim His message abroad.

When a seed is planted, someone must come along to water it so that it can grow! Without water, it'll stay in the soil and never be what it's supposed to be. I feel like that's what Christ wants us to think of when He calls us to community. You see, you need community to help you grow, and more importantly, you need Jesus to become the kind of person you're supposed to be. Today, Pastor Dion says the church was made for your growth. The church is there, so you're pushed to become more like Jesus!

Being lonely is one of the worst feelings a person can feel. You feel like there's no one around who can lift your spirits! Yet, when we find true friendship, we can start thriving because when we feel desired, we feel loved. Today, Pastor Dion says the church was built by design. If you're a believer, you need community because it'll push you closer to Christ. You'll be challenged to be who God calls you to be! Find a church that won't just provide you with friendship and push you closer to God.

If you're a parent, then you'll know that one of the things children know how to do best is make a mess. I remember when I was little, I disliked being told to put my toys away because it felt like so much work! Yet, I think that's what Pastor Dion is telling us to do today. He says that for you to save your soul, you must put away all the sins you have held in your heart. This doesn't mean you'll be perfect; in fact, it means quite the opposite. You will fail at this, but that's where Jesus comes in to redeem you from your failures!
