Trinity Streetsville

The whole church burned to the ground and yet they found hope. On this podcast we dive into the history of Trinity Church Streetsville including the devastating fire of 1998 and the long, challenging road of rebuilding. When a teenager set fire to the church in the midst of a construction project all that anyone could do was watch it burn. Then, Harold Percy led the way through forgiveness, hope a...

When the ancient church in Laodicea came in for a check-up, Jesus found something deeply wrong. Their faith wasn’t hot or cold — it was lukewarm. This Sunday, we are invited into the exam room with Jesus, the Great Physician, as He diagnoses the real problem behind spiritual apathy and offers a prescription of grace.

In this podcast Paul shares about the ups and downs of life as a Christian athlete. After 17 years in the NHL Paul says that following Jesus made him a better hockey player, husband, father and friend. He recalls the critical role that fai...

Gratitude isn’t something we wait to feel after we win the race — it’s something we practice while we’re still running the race. In a world that says, “You deserve more,” the Gospel invites us to live countercurrent — to give thanks not because life is perfect, but because Jesus has already crossed the finish line for us.

As John Cleese said: "This parrot’s not resting — it’s dead!" In Revelation 3, Jesus gives a blunt diagnosis to the church in Sardis: “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” Ouch.

What if the call is coming from inside the house? This week, we will look at the church in Thyatira that was facing pressures — not from outside but from within — to compromise.

Conflict, protest and unjust laws. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote “A Letter From a Birmingham Jail” in 1963, but it’s just as relevant today. This letter tackles everything from choosing sides, to dealing with tension, to the role of Christians in the face of injustice. In this podcast we talk about what King was saying in his time and the ways that he’s speaking to us today. What should we do when...

If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. This week, we’re looking at a church that Satan couldn’t crush with a sword — so he corrupted it with a smile. We’ll expose the Trojan Horse of cultural compromise and learn how to stay faithful to Christ when the world pressures us to blend in.

What do you say to someone who is suffering? Our words often fall short — but Jesus’ words never do. In Revelation 2:8–11, Christ speaks directly to a church under crushing pressure, deep poverty, and harsh persecution. To the believers in Smyrna, He says, “I know… Do not be afraid… Be faithful, and I will give you the crown of life.”

This Sunday we launch a brand new teaching series: Dear Church… Ancient Letters for Today’s Church. Together we’ll be exploring the seven letters to the churches in Revelation 2–3, listening for what Jesus says—not only to the churches of the first century, but also to His church today. Today we'll hear about a church that was strong in good works, perseverance, and discernment, but had drifted fr...

Prayer isn’t just about the words we say to God, it's also about what God is saying to us. This Sunday we’re looking at the power and challenge of The Lord’s Prayer as we wrap up our series on the Sermon on the Mount. We’ll break down Jesus' words together and see how this ancient prayer shapes us in some life-changing ways.

Sandra Seaborn continues our journey through the Sermon on the Mount

Doing the right thing often costs us, but is it still worth it? We wrap up conversation on the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount by talking about what persecution means, why we should expect it, and how to get through it. Jesus says that we will be persecuted for pursuing justice - whether in homeless encampments, fights in the subway, when seeking equity, or other places. And Christ is with...

Everybody wants peace, but what kind of peace? The path to peace is complex and on this podcast we break down what Jesus means when he calls us to be peacemakers. We ask questions like what is real peace? What’s the cost of peace? What’s the difference between a peacemaker and a peacekeeper? And what does it mean to be a child of God? We compare the beatitudes to Jesus' statement that he has come...

"Ask, Seek, Knock" – but for what? Jesus’ famous words in Matthew 7 aren’t a blank cheque for our wish list—they’re an invitation into restored relationships, deeper intimacy with God, and daily reliance on Him. Join us on Sunday as we continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount

Jesus tells us that the pure in heart will see God. But is it even possible to be pure in heart? Turns out that’s it’s both easier and harder than you might expect. In this podcast we talk about what it means to be pure in heart and how that relates to holiness and faith. We talk about the good gifts God gives us through Jesus and the importance of being authentic and vulnerable.

Jesus said “Do not worry”—but that’s easier said than done, especially when your inbox, bank account, and news feed say otherwise. This week, we’ll look at what Jesus really meant in Matthew 6 and why worry isn’t worth it, isn’t helpful, and isn’t how you were made.

Is mercy really a practical choice? We break down the connection between mercy, justice and forgiveness. Drawing on Bonhoeffer we talk about how mercy is a type of irresistible love for the oppressed and the ways that it calls us to move beyond what’s comfortable and orient ourselves to the way of Jesus. Justin brings in some Karl Bart to remind us that Jesus frees us from the work of judging othe...

Join us this Sunday as Justin Stratis leads us in an exploration of Jesus’ instructions to practice righteousness, prayer and giving in secret.

Jesus says that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed. But what is righteousness? And how do we hunger and thirst for it? In this podcast we unpack the rich meaning behind righteousness, including how it pairs with concepts like goodness, equity and justice. We talk about what it looks like to choose justice even when it seems crazy, what we’re really thirsting for, and what it...

Enemy love isn’t just a footnote in the Christian life—it’s the summit of the Sermon on the Mount. This week, we reach the steepest part of Jesus’ teaching, where he challenges us to turn the other cheek, walk the extra mile, and—most radically—love our enemies. In a world marked by division, retaliation, and tribalism, Jesus dares to imagine something higher. Something harder. Something holier.
