The Blueprint of Trinity - Richard Petan - May 31st 2026
The Blueprint of Trinity Church Before diving into baptism, we look at the structural and spiritual pillars that keep a healthy church community grounded: Plurality of Elders: Why having a team of five elders (and not just one person at the top) protects both the leadership and the congregation...

Seek Him and Live

Cheerful Giving from a Consecrated Life
2 Corinthians 9:7 When the topic of giving comes up, many people instinctively brace themselves—expecting pressure, guilt, or obligation. But the gospel starts somewhere entirely different. It doesn’t begin with what God wants from you. It begins with what God has already done for you—and to you....

The Table That Satisfies - Jeremy Sanderson - March 29 2026
Palm Sunday: King Jesus & The Table that satisfies. It's that time of year again! We just celebrated Palm Sunday, that powerful day in the Christian calendar where we remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, but also the sobering reality of what was to come only a few days later. This...

Seeing what God sees; a journey to the cross - Doug Ruest - March 15th 2026
As we journey through Lent toward the cross, the Holy Spirit invites us to something much deeper than simple behavior modification. In this episode, we explore the stark contrast between how the world perceives us and how God sees us, drawing from the anointing of David in 1 Samuel 16 and the…

Preparing for the Mission of Hope - Tim Stanley - March 1 2026

"Christ First"- Peter Watt - February 22nd 2026
In this episode we hear from Peter Watt, a counsellor with Crossways to Life Ministry. He wraps up marriage month with an important message. 1) God can feel absent in the moment, but is often obvious in hindsight. In life there are seasons of darkness and pain, yet looking back reveals God’s...

Marriage Under the Reign of Christ - Nate and Mae Postings - February 15th 2026
"Marriage Under the Reign of Christ" Marriage isn't meant to be sustained by human strength alone - It requires a vertical connection with Christ rather than solely relying on our spouse horizontally. We look horizontally for what should come vertically - Many marriage struggles arise when we…

The Foundation of Marriage - Jim & Sharon Nolson - Sunday February 8th 2026
The Foundation of Marriage Marriage Requires a Foundation Beyond Ourselves Many couples enter marriage focused on their own needs and expectations ("me, me, me"), but lasting marriages require putting God at the center. When both partners say "God, God, God" instead of "you, you, you,"...

Grace Always Comes First - Doug Ruest - January 18th 2026
True generosity begins not with what we give, but with what we’ve received. We can only live generously to the degree we understand God’s grace toward us. Like children who know they belong, we approach God not as distant strangers but as sons and daughters with full access to our Father. In...

"God Who Seeks Treasure" by Doug Ruest - January 11th 2026
What if everything you've been taught about those famous parables in Matthew 13 has been backwards? In this episode, we flip the script on the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. You're not the merchant frantically searching and sacrificing everything for God—you're the treasure He...

2025 recap by Doug Ruest, January 4th 2026
Doug shares an encouraging review of the year 2025. As we look forward to this new year, we have one goal in mind: others. With Jesus as our lead.
-
James Colgan - November 30th 2025
Build on God's Truth, Not Human Effort: Like tall buildings need deep foundations in rock, believers must anchor their lives in God's Word. Psalm 118:8 (the Bible's middle verse) says it's better to trust in the Lord than in people. True righteousness comes from trusting God, not our own works....
-
"Galatians 6:7-18" by Doug Ruest- November 23rd 2025
Sowing and Reaping - Location Matters Most: The principle of sowing and reaping isn't about karma, but about where we sow. Sowing to the flesh (even good deeds done in our own strength for approval or recognition) leads to weariness and corruption. Sowing to the Spirit (acting in dependence on…
more -
"Galatians 6:1-6" by Doug Ruest- November 16th 2025
1. Restore Others with Gentleness, Not Judgment. Jesus' posture toward the woman caught in adultery shows us how to respond when someone falls into sin. We are called to restore, not repair or fix people. Gentleness is strength under control—meekness that walks alongside others rather than…
more -
Acts of service - November 9th 2025
Remembrance Day Reflection The service opened with personal stories of sacrifice, including the speaker's family members who served in World War II. The message emphasized that freedom came at a cost, and as Christians, we should use that freedom to declare Christ's love to a dying world.…

Jim Nolson November 2nd 2025
Build Your Foundation on God's Truth: Just as the world's tallest buildings require deep foundations anchored in rock, believers must build their lives on the solid foundation of God's Word. The middle verse of the Bible (Psalm 118:8) declares: "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to…

"Galatians 5:24-26" by Doug Ruest - October 26th 2025
Crucified with Christ - A Finished Work: When you believed in Jesus, you were placed into His death and resurrection. Your old self was already crucified with Him - this is past tense, accomplished. You belong to Him now, welcomed into His family. You don't imitate Jesus through effort; you...

"Galatians 5:19-26 cont." by Doug Ruest, October 19th 2025
Two Ways of Living: People live either in Adam (unable not to sin) or in Christ (able not to sin through the Spirit's power). Works vs. Fruit: Works of the flesh are self-produced efforts; fruit of the Spirit is produced by God in believers who abide in Christ. Four Categories of Fleshly Works:...
-
"Galatians 5:19-26" by Doug Ruest - Octo
Works of the Flesh vs. Fruit of the Spirit: Paul presents two contrasting ways of living - the works of the flesh (sexual immorality, idolatry, strife, envy, etc.) and the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc.). States of Man - Ability to Sin: Before the fall, Adam could...
-
"Galatians 5:16-18" by Doug Ruest - October 5th 2025
Identity in Christ: This message emphasizes that believers have only one nature - the new nature in Christ. The old sinful nature has been crucified with Christ and is dead, not merely dormant or fighting against the new nature. Sin as an External Enemy: Sin is primarily presented as a noun (an...
-
"Galatians 5:7-15" by Doug Ruest, September 28th 2025
Freedom in Christ: Christians are freed from the law through Christ's sacrifice, marking a turning point in Galatians from what we are freed from to what we are freed to. Grace vs. Performance: Paul warns against the obstacle of trying to earn God's grace through religious performance, which…

"Submit and Obey" by Richard Petan - September 21, 2025
Biblical Foundation: Matthew 6 - "Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors" Spiritual Consequences: Unforgiveness blocks prayer, prevents walking in the Spirit, and hinders access to spiritual fruits Physical Impact: Unforgiveness can physically and spiritually cripple a person Call to Action:...
-
"Galatians 5:1-6" by Doug Ruest - September 14th 2025
5 Key Points from this message: **Stand firm in freedom** - The Greek word "stand" is a present active imperative, meaning continuously choose to stand in the freedom Christ has given, not turning back to legalism **Victory requires entering the battle** - Christ has already won the victory, but…
