    Christian Lifestyle: Living What We Believe - Pastor Dave Klassen

    When a person receives Jesus Christ by faith, a profound transformation takes place: the old life passes away, and a new life begins. This is not simply about adding Jesus to an already existing lifestyle, but about surrendering one’s entire life to Him. The difference is crucial—rather than fitting Jesus into our plans, we are called to step into His life, allowing Him to shape our goals, desires, and actions. This new life is marked by freedom, joy, and a radically different perspective on what truly matters. The evidence of this transformation is not found in a mere profession of faith or a prayer prayed long ago, but in a changed life. Scripture is clear: those who are in Christ are new creations, and the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—should increasingly characterize our lives. This does not mean perfection, but it does mean progress. If nothing has changed, if the old patterns of sin and self-rule remain unchallenged, then we must ask whether we have truly surrendered to Christ. Living as a Christian is not about following a list of rules, but about cultivating a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit guides, convicts, and empowers us to live in a way that honors God, often leading us beyond what any rulebook could cover. Our aim should be to bring joy to God’s heart, not just by avoiding sin, but by actively pursuing what is good, true, and praiseworthy. This means daily surrender, ongoing repentance, and a willingness to let God transform every area of our lives. Following Jesus is more than believing certain truths; it is a call to discipleship, to pick up our cross and follow Him wherever He leads. This journey will require sacrifice, courage, and continual growth, but it is the only path to true life. The challenge is clear: will we merely believe, or will we follow? The invitation is to step fully into Christ, allowing Him to live His life through us, so that the world may see the reality of Jesus in us.

    God Uses Imperfect Fathers - Pastor Dave Klassen

    Today is a day to honor fathers, but also to acknowledge the reality that none of us are perfect. Every dad carries regrets, failures, and moments of brokenness, yet God is not limited by our imperfections. In fact, God specializes in using broken people—imperfect fathers, flawed men, and those who feel disqualified by their past. Throughout history, God has fulfilled His purposes through men who made serious mistakes, from Abraham and Moses to Gideon and David. Their stories remind us that God does not require perfection, but rather a willing and humble heart. God knows our weaknesses and remembers that we are but dust. Just as a compassionate father forgives his children, God extends grace and forgiveness to us. Our failures do not disqualify us from being used by God; instead, they become opportunities for His grace to shine through. The key is to stop believing the lie that we must be flawless to be good fathers. Instead, we are called to invite God into our weaknesses, to reflect on the ways He has already worked through us, and to trust that He is not finished with our story. God redeems our failures for His purposes. Even when others intend harm, God can turn it for good, as seen in the life of Joseph. Our past mistakes, when owned with humility and confessed openly, can become testimonies that bring hope and healing to others. Walking in repentance is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and authenticity. When we model repentance and forgiveness in our homes, we teach our children how to fail forward and experience God’s grace. God blesses the faithful, not the flawless. Integrity is not about never failing, but about being genuine, confessing our shortcomings, and moving forward in faith. Every father has a calling to lead his family, not by being perfect, but by being real—pointing their children to a perfect God through their own redeemed lives. God delights in using broken vessels, and our brokenness, when surrendered to Him, becomes a channel for His blessing. As long as we are here, God is not done with us. Let us walk in humility, trust in His mercy, and remain faithful, knowing that His blessing rests on us.

    The Holy Spirit is Given - Pastor Johnny Dyck

    Pentecost is a day rich with meaning, both in its Jewish roots and its significance for followers of Jesus. Originally, Pentecost was a Jewish festival known as the Feast of Weeks or the Feast of Harvest, celebrated fifty days after Passover. It was a time to give thanks for the first fruits of the wheat harvest and, over time, became associated with the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. This background is crucial because it sets the stage for the events in Acts 2, where the Holy Spirit is poured out on the disciples. The timing is not random; God chose this moment, when Jews from every nation were gathered in Jerusalem, to fulfill His promise and launch the church. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost is the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise to send a helper, the Spirit of truth, who would empower, guide, and comfort His followers. The dramatic signs—wind, fire, and tongues—are not just supernatural displays but deeply symbolic. Wind represents the power of God, fire points to purification and the presence of God, and tongues signify the global proclamation of the gospel. The fire resting on each disciple’s head is especially significant: it marks the presence of God now dwelling in every believer, making each of us a living temple. This indwelling presence transforms ordinary people. The same disciples who once scattered in fear now boldly proclaim the gospel in many languages, empowered by the Spirit. The miracle of languages at Pentecost is more than a reversal of Babel’s confusion; it is the beginning of a new unity among God’s people, drawing together Jews and Gentiles alike. The Holy Spirit not only gives power for witness but also brings comfort, guidance, and unity. Yet, there is a challenge for us today. Are we truly embracing the power of the Holy Spirit, or do we live in fear or neglect of His presence? The Spirit is not something to be afraid of or to ignore because of misunderstandings or abuses. Instead, we are called to invite the Holy Spirit into our lives, to empower us to live boldly and confidently for Jesus, and to be witnesses in our world. The question remains: Are we living as Spirit-filled witnesses, or are we simply attending church?

    Saved by Grace - Eduardo Letkeman

    The story of Oskar Schindler, a man who risked everything to save Jewish lives during World War II, serves as a powerful illustration of transformation and sacrificial love. Initially motivated by self-interest, Schindler’s heart changed as he witnessed the suffering around him, leading him to spend all he had to protect those in danger. This story echoes the greater reality of what Christ has done for us. While Schindler’s actions were remarkable, Jesus’ sacrifice is even more profound—He gave Himself for us not out of obligation or after a change of heart, but from the very beginning, knowing fully who we are and what we would do. Ephesians reminds us that we were dead in our sins, following the ways of a broken world. The evidence of this brokenness is all around us: division, hatred, and judgment, even within our own communities. Scripture is clear that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Yet, God’s response is not wrath, but mercy. Because of His great love, He made us alive with Christ, offering us grace as a free gift. This grace is not something we can earn or repay; it is given freely, even though we are undeserving. The temptation is to believe that we must do something to earn God’s favor, or that our past disqualifies us from His love. But the truth is that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works. Whether we have a dramatic story of transformation or have known Christ from a young age, the gift is the same. God’s love is not measured by our past, but by His purpose and design for us. He calls each of us His masterpiece, created to do good works that He has prepared in advance. The invitation is simple: accept the gift. God is not waiting for us to become perfect or to reach a certain level of brokenness before we come to Him. He has been waiting for us from the very beginning, longing to guide us and fulfill His mission through our lives. The only thing left is to receive what He so freely offers. Key Takeaways - Transformation Begins with Awareness of Brokenness Recognizing our own spiritual deadness and the brokenness of the world is the first step toward transformation. Just as Schindler’s eyes were opened to the suffering around him, we must allow God to reveal the reality of our need for mercy and grace. This awareness humbles us and prepares our hearts to receive what only God can give. - God’s Mercy Is Greater Than Our Sin No matter how far we have fallen or how undeserving we feel, God’s mercy reaches further still. His love is not conditional on our performance or our past; it is rooted in His character. Even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, demonstrating a love that is both sacrificial and unconditional. - Grace Is a Gift, Not a Transaction In a world where nothing seems free and every favor comes with strings attached, God’s grace stands apart. He offers salvation without expectation of repayment, knowing we could never earn or deserve it. This challenges our natural suspicion and invites us to trust in the generosity of God’s heart. - Our Testimonies Are Unique, but the Gift Is the Same Whether we come to faith after a dramatic conversion or have known Christ since childhood, the value of God’s gift does not change. Each story is precious to Him, and He is not waiting for us to reach a certain level of brokenness before offering His love. Embracing our own journey allows us to celebrate the diversity of God’s work in every life. - God’s Invitation Is for Now, Not When We’re “Ready” God is not waiting for us to clean ourselves up or conquer every struggle before we come to Him. He calls us as we are, inviting us to accept His gift today. The only requirement is a willing heart—He will lead, transform, and fulfill His purpose in us as we trust Him.
