📣 TUESDAY NIGHT SERVICE REPORT — Feast of Pentecost 2026
“A Night of Alignment, Acceleration, and Apostolic Clarity”
Messages Delivered by Deacon Dave Dillie & Bishop Timothy Miller
Tuesday evening at the Feast of Pentecost 2026 unfolded with a profound sense of divine orchestration. The service carried a steady, unmistakable momentum as Deacon Dave Dillie and Bishop Timothy Miller delivered messages that, though distinct in tone and delivery, converged seamlessly into a unified declaration: the Church is on a God‑ordained journey, Christ is the destination, and the road ahead requires renewed focus, renewed obedience, and renewed power.
The atmosphere was reverent, expectant, and deeply aware that God was aligning His people for the next phase of His unfolding plan.

I. DEACON DAVE DILLIE — “We Are Not There Yet, But We Are Still on the Journey”
Deacon Dave Dillie opened the evening with a message marked by humility, transparency, and pastoral insight. His sermon was not merely instructional — it was deeply relatable, grounded in lived experience, and delivered with a sincerity that resonated across generations.
1. The Journey Begins in Sin — and Grace Redirects It
He began by reminding the congregation that humanity’s journey starts in the same place:
- Born in sin
- Shaped by brokenness
- In need of redemption
Quoting Romans 5:12 and Psalm 51:5, he emphasized that sin is not merely an action — it is the condition into which every person is born.
But the beauty of the gospel is that God interrupts the journey and offers a new direction through Christ.
2. The Necessity of New Birth
Deacon Dillie moved to John 3, highlighting Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus:
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
He stressed that:
- Salvation is not inherited
- Salvation is not earned
- Salvation is not achieved by effort
- Salvation begins with new birth
This moment — the moment Christ enters a life — is the true starting point of the believer’s journey.
3. The Reality of Detours, Distractions, and Delays
With humor and honesty, he recounted the Dillie family’s trip from Pennsylvania to Cleveland:
- The GPS rerouting
- The unexpected detours
- The beautiful but unplanned backroads
- The moment he was pulled over for speeding because he was watching the GPS instead of the road
These stories became vivid metaphors for the Christian walk:
- Life does not always follow our planned route
- Detours are inevitable
- Unexpected obstacles arise
- We often think we know better than the guidance we’ve been given
The officer’s words became a spiritual lesson:
“Pay more attention to the signs than the GPS.”
In spiritual terms:
- Pay attention to Scripture
- Pay attention to conviction
- Pay attention to the Spirit’s leading
- Pay attention to the boundaries God has set
4. God’s Perfect System — The True GPS
Deacon Dillie introduced a powerful metaphor:
G.P.S. — God’s Perfect System
Unlike earthly GPS systems that glitch, reroute, or mislead, God’s direction is:
- Trustworthy
- Consistent
- Clear
- Anchored in Scripture
- Empowered by the Spirit
He emphasized that following God’s direction is not always easy, but it is always right.
5. The Danger of Stopping
Perhaps the most sobering moment of his message came when he said:
“You only miss the destination when you stop moving.”
Stopping looks like:
- Giving up
- Growing cold
- Becoming complacent
- Choosing sin
- Ignoring conviction
- Abandoning the path
But as long as a believer continues moving — even slowly, even painfully — God continues guiding.
6. The Call to Lead Others
Deacon Dillie reminded the Church that many around us are “running aimlessly,” unaware of the destination or the path.
He urged the saints to:
- Share their testimony
- Offer hope
- Point others toward Christ
- Lead family and friends toward the right road
His message concluded with a humble, heartfelt confession:
“I’m not there yet — but I’m planning to make it.”
It was a pastoral, grounding, and deeply encouraging word that prepared the congregation for the prophetic acceleration that followed.

II. BISHOP TIMOTHY MILLER — “TAKE A RIDE WITH ME!”
Bishop Timothy Miller followed with a message that elevated the evening into a moment of unmistakable spiritual momentum.
Where Deacon Dillie prepared the heart, Bishop Miller ignited the fire.
His sermon — a sweeping, imaginative, and theologically rich journey — invited the Church to “get in the car” and travel through Scripture, prophecy, and the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1. The Destination Is a Person
Referencing Acts 1, he reminded the Church that the disciples themselves asked, “Are we there yet?”
Jesus redirected them to the true focus:
“Ye shall receive power… and ye shall be witnesses unto Me.”
The destination is not a place — it is Christ Himself.
2. The Road of Restoration
He traced the “tire tracks” of Elijah, showing that the spirit of Elijah is a spirit of:
- Restoration
- Confrontation
- Covenant
- Returning to the altar
- Preparing the way for Christ
He emphasized that every true restoration leads back to Jesus.
3. The Pit Stop — Fresh Fuel for the Journey
Bishop Miller warned that no believer can complete the journey on yesterday’s anointing.
The Upper Room was presented as the ultimate “fuel station,” where empty vessels were filled with fire and empowered to proclaim Christ.
“The Holy Ghost fuels us to preach Jesus.”
4. There Are Still Miles to Cover
He concluded with a sweeping vision of the Church’s mission:
- The gospel must reach all nations
- The revelation of Jesus Christ must be proclaimed
- The Church must remain in motion
- The Bride must continue preparing
His closing charge was clear:
“The ride is not over. The fire still burns. The Spirit still fills. And this gospel still has power.”

III. A NIGHT OF DIVINE ALIGNMENT
The unity between the two messages was unmistakable:
- Deacon Dillie emphasized the journey
- Bishop Miller emphasized the destination
- Deacon Dillie emphasized trusting God’s direction
- Bishop Miller emphasized being filled with God’s power
- Deacon Dillie emphasized movement
- Bishop Miller emphasized mission
Together, they formed a single, Spirit‑crafted declaration:
The Church is on a God‑ordained journey, Christ is the destination, the Holy Ghost is the fuel, and the time to move forward is now.
