Trails Church Sermons

In last week’s sermon, we talked about how the Ephesians were this mixed group of people (Jews and Gentiles) who were united to Jesus by faith and, as a result, brought into a new spiritual family (united with a local church), so that they might have tangible relationships that demonstrate the effects of the Gospel in their everyday lives. Well, this week, we see the letter to these saints begin;...

This Sunday, we're kicking off our new sermon series in the letter to the Ephesians. 👏 In this first sermon, we will explore a bit of the background story of this letter.

A letter that isn’t “sent” doesn’t fulfill its purpose of being a letter. Our lives are the same way. This Sunday, we will be concluding our “Living Letters” series by talking about how God intends for all Christians to be sent into the world around us to share our lives and the Gospel with others, that they might hear of the forgiveness of sins made possible through Jesus. ✊🏼 Thanks for tuning...

This Sunday, we’re continuing our “Living Letters to a Dying World” series.

This weekend we’re kicking off this 4-weeks series called “Living Letters to a Dying World”.

The intent is to explore the so famous “Great Commission” but from a perspective that hopefully will help to enrich our understanding of our mission as a church and as Christians indi...

At the beginning of the book of Exodus, we saw a “dark shadow of enslavement that lay upon the people of God, the bitter cry of bereavement as their sons were snatched from them for the river, the blows of the taskmaster, a future without hope, and the relentless, uncaring policy of genocide. They were at that time a people under the cloud … Now, at the end of the book, they were again a people un...

Moses, after being face to face with God, had his face shining. The people feared coming near him because God's glory reflected in him. So, they covered his face with a veil. Today we’re studying how the glowing face of Moses and the veil point us to the gospel and give us a deeper understanding of the ministry of Jesus, and our mission as christians. Thanks for tuning into our podcast. For more i...

If someone asked you to give a summary statement of the character and nature of God, what would you say? 🤷🏽‍♂️ How would you respond? What characteristics would you mention … or be too shy to mention? 🤔 In this week’s text, we see how God proclaims who He is and how He renews the covenant that Israel broke with the worship of the golden calf in Exodus 32. Thanks for tuning into our podcast. For...

What's the difference between a Christian and people from other religions? Is it just the fact that they believe different things and follow a different "sacred book"? Or is there something else that distinguishes the Christian from everyone else? That's a very important question for Christian or for those exploring Christianity. And we want to invite you to join us this Sunday and explore this to...

This weekend we studied one very famous passage in the book of Exodus: The Golden Calf. The Israelites crafted this idol to be worshipped, revealing the idolatry and rebellion that was still in their hearts.

Ever wonder how we can be declared innocent before God? 🤷🏽‍♂️ That is what this week's sermon is all about: how unholy people can be made holy.

Hey! This Sunday we will be diving into Exodus 28 and 39 in which we find the description of the garments used by the Jewish priests when serving in the tabernacle/temple. It does not sound very appealing, I know. But you will be surprised to see how relevant and interesting it can become when read through the lenses of the gospel. God from the beginning is showing his intentions of clothing his p...

This Sunday, we are focusing our attention on Exodus 23:20-33. And this text presents us with a somewhat mysterious character of the Old Testament: The Angel of the Lord.
