The Way of Jesus - This is the Way

In this message, Pastor Tim returns to tackle one of the most foundational questions we can ask: When you say "I'm following Jesus," what do you actually mean?Jesus' first invitation to His disciples wasn't to pray a prayer or join a program—it was simply "Come, follow me." But what does that look like in everyday life? And how have we confused existence with the abundant life Jesus promised?In this message, we explore:The difference between being alive and truly living the life God designed for youWhy Jesus called His followers to be "fishers of men" (and what that actually means)The story of the rich young ruler and what stands between us and real lifeHow following Jesus means giving Him the top spot—over and over againAn exciting new opportunity to grow deeper in your faith journeyThis isn't about adding Jesus to your already-full life. It's about discovering that He IS the life you were made for. As we head into a new season, it's time to get back to basics and ask: What would it look like if God worked through you the way He worked through Jesus?Join us for this challenging and hopeful message about choosing life over mere existence.

As followers of Jesus, we're called to something radically different than the world's "gotcha" culture. In this message from our What Our World Needs Now series, we explore the fruit of the Spirit known as gentleness and discover that gentleness isn't weakness—it's strength used for restoration. Through Galatians 6 and the example of Jesus, we'll learn how to become people who don't just catch others in their failures, but help catch them when they fall. What if the church became the safest place to land when life falls apart?

The Journey to Joy

Apr 2200:38:32Tap to summarize

Finding Joy That Lasts: Beyond the Dopamine HitEver cried at Disney World—the "happiest place on earth"? Pastor Tim shares a vulnerable moment from his youth that reveals a profound truth: you can't manufacture real, lasting joy.In this message, we dive into Jesus' teaching from John 15 about the vine and branches, discovering that authentic joy isn't found in the next shopping trip, vacation, or dopamine hit from scrolling our phones. Instead, Jesus offers us something deeper—an unshakable joy that stays with you even on Monday mornings, in traffic, and through life's hardest moments.Drawing from six years of church planting in Toronto, Tim unpacks how joy transforms when we flip our priorities: Jesus first, others second, yourself last. You'll hear the story of John and Cora—a couple whose lives were changed by a simple act of helping them move—and discover how serving others shifts our perspective from "I have to" to "I get to."If you've ever felt like something's wrong with you because you can't just "be happy," this message is for you. Learn why cultivating joy takes time (like a vineyard that needs 6-7 years to produce mature fruit), and discover practical steps to remain in Jesus and experience the complete joy He promises.Key Takeaway: Real joy doesn't come from perfect circumstances—it comes from remaining connected to Jesus and living outward toward others.
