Trinity Church Kelowna — Weekend Messages

We live in a world overflowing with information—but is knowing more actually making us wiser? Information can fill our minds, but wisdom shapes our lives. In the second message of the Solomon Says series, The Beginning of Wisdom , we explore Solomon’s words in Proverbs and discover what it means to truly live wisely. Biblical wisdom is more than gaining knowledge; it is learning to live God’s way...

In the first message of our new series, Solomon Says , we look at the beginning of Solomon’s story and the foundation of true wisdom. When God asked Solomon, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you,” Solomon didn’t ask for riches, fame, or power—he asked for a discerning heart. This message explores what it means to seek God’s wisdom, listen well, trust the Lord with all our heart, and welcome H...

Summer at Trinity is here! As we step into our Weekend Summer Service rhythm, this message invites us to slow down, refocus, and fix our eyes on Jesus together. In this sermon, we’re reminded to stay rooted in faith, connected in community, and open to all that God wants to do in and through us in the season ahead. Whether you’re joining us in person or listening from wherever you are, we hope thi...

On Celebration Sunday, as Trinity marks 65 years of God’s faithfulness, we close the Ripple Effect series with a call to take the next step . Looking at Joshua’s victories, failures, and renewed obedience, this message reminds us that we are often more vulnerable after a victory than after a defeat. Yet even when fear, failure, or discouragement set in, God continues to invite His people forward....

As we conclude our Ripple Effect series, we turn our attention outward to God's heart for the nations. From His promise to Abraham to the vision of every tribe, tongue, and nation worshipping before His throne, Scripture reveals a God whose love extends to all people everywhere. In this message, we explore why the nations matter to God, how we are invited to participate in His redemptive work,...

Podcast description In Week 4 of Ripple Effect , Love For The Next Generation , we look at what it means to pass on a faith that is visible, sincere, and alive. Through the relationship between Paul and Timothy, and the legacy of faith Timothy received from his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice, we are reminded that what God has done in one generation can awaken faith in the next. This messag...

In Week 3 of the Ripple Effect series, “For The Okanagan,” we look at the moment Peter and John encounter a lame beggar at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3. In a place marked by both beauty and brokenness, we’re reminded that God often moves through ordinary people willing to notice interruptions and respond with compassion. This message challenges us to see people the way Jesus does, not as distracti...

In Week 2 of our Ripple Effect series, “Love For God,” we explore the question: if faith is forward, what fuels it? Through Jesus’ words and example, we discover that faith was never meant to run on performance, pressure, or religious routine, but on love and relationship with the Father. From the Jordan River to the cross, Jesus modeled a life fully rooted in God’s love, showing us that transform...

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Ripple Effect series: “A Legacy Etched In Stone.” In this message, we journey through Joshua 2 and 4 to discover what it means to trust God before the path looks safe, remember His faithfulness, and live a faith that leaves a lasting impact for generations to come. God never promised the river would look safe before we stepped in—but He did promise He would be there whe...

In the final message of the Appearances series, “This Isn’t Just A Story,” we’re reminded that life is made up of ordinary moments, yet Jesus meets us right there. From grief and doubt to fear and distraction, He shows up personally, not just to comfort, but to transform. In Acts 1, Jesus’ final appearance points His followers forward, not with timelines or quick fixes, but with the promise of the...

Thomas is often remembered as “the doubter,” but his story reveals something deeper. This message explores how we label ourselves and others based on single moments—and how those labels can shape our faith. Through Thomas, we see that honest questions aren’t a failure of faith—they’re often where Jesus meets us most personally. Instead of rebuke, Jesus offers peace, presence, and exactly what Thom...

The disciples were hiding behind locked doors, gripped by fear, until Jesus stepped right into the room and spoke peace over them. In this message, we see that fear still locks doors in our lives today. But the risen Jesus meets us right there, bringing a peace grounded in His finished work on the cross. And He doesn’t just give us peace to hold onto, He sends us out to carry it into a fearful wor...

In this second message from the Appearances series, we journey along the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 and explore a powerful truth: sometimes we can be walking with Jesus and not even realize it. As the disciples wrestled with disappointment, confusion, and unmet expectations, Jesus came near, listened to them, and revealed Himself in a way they didn’t expect. Could it be that we also miss Jesus beca...

In this Easter message, “When Jesus Calls Your Name,” we begin the new Appearances series by stepping into the powerful moment Mary Magdalene encounters the empty tomb. What begins in confusion, grief, and darkness becomes a deeply personal moment of hope when Jesus calls her by name. This message reminds us that Easter doesn’t ignore our pain—it meets us in it. When life feels empty and hope seem...

In the final message of the Jonah Series , “God’s Heart for the City,” we explore the surprising ending of Jonah’s story—a moment that reveals more about Jonah’s heart than Nineveh’s repentance. Despite experiencing God’s mercy firsthand, Jonah struggles to accept that same grace being extended to others. This message unpacks how Jonah ran not from God’s judgment, but from His goodness, and how ea...

In Part 3 of the Jonah Series , “Do It Anyway,” we step into one of the most challenging tensions in our faith: the collision between justice and mercy . Through Jonah 3, we see a powerful picture of God’s relentless grace—not just toward a rebellious prophet, but toward a city that seemed undeserving. When God calls Jonah a second time, it’s a reminder that our failures don’t disqualify us. God s...

In the second message of our series through the Book of Jonah, we find Jonah at rock bottom, literally in the depths of the sea and inside the great fish. Surrounded by darkness and facing the consequences of his choices, Jonah finally turns to God in prayer. This message explores what happens when we reach the point where we realize we’re drowning and have nowhere else to turn. Jonah’s prayer rev...

In this first message of the Jonah series, “Are You Running From God?” , we explore the story of Jonah and God’s relentless grace toward reluctant people. When God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh, Jonah runs in the opposite direction, trying to escape God’s voice and His purpose. Yet the story reminds us that God is a God who speaks, and His Word is meant not just to inform us but to transform us. Th...

In the final message of the Anxious Generations series, we explore one of the deepest drivers behind distraction, fear, and comparison: our fear of failure. Through Peter’s denial of Jesus in Gospel of Luke 22 and his restoration in Gospel of John 21, we see a powerful truth — failure is not the end of the story. In Jesus’ hands, failure becomes formation. This episode reframes shame, regret, and...

We thought we were inviting connection into our lives—but what if we unintentionally invited comparison instead? In this message, we explore how social media, algorithms, and constant digital attention shape not just what we see, but how we see ourselves. Through the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, we discover that comparison isn’t ultimately about character—it’s about attention. Both sisters...

Fear is the second message in the Anxious Generations series, exploring the difference between fear in the present and anxiety about the future. Through the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4, we face one of our deepest questions: Does God really care? This message reminds us that peace is not the absence of storms but the presence of Jesus in them. We learn practical ways to respond when...

We live in a world of constant stimulation, endless scrolling, and spiritual exhaustion. This message explores how overconsumption and distraction shape our hearts, our attention, and ultimately what we love. Drawing from Scripture and insights from The Anxious Generation , we examine the difference between a divided life and an undivided heart before God.

When Prayer Is Hard is the third message in the series Try Prayer and See What Happens , and it speaks directly to seasons of disappointment, waiting, and unanswered prayers.

In What Do I Say? , the second message in the series “Try Prayer and See What Happens,” we explore one of the most honest and common questions people have about prayer: What am I actually supposed to pray?

In the first message of the series “Try Prayer and See What Happens,” titled Talking to God , we’re invited to rethink how we pray by first reconsidering how we see God.
