Trinity Church Messages
Weekly messages presented at Trinity Church. Trinity (https://www.tlc4u.org) is a multisite church in the Chicago area. Our goal is simple: we want to help people be more like Jesus. We believe Jesus was the Son of God who conquered sin and death for us through his death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. His life of sacrifice and radical love for all not only restores our relationship with our creator, but it inspires and guides us as we seek to love others as he loved us.

Friends Who Love Like Jesus 26.05.2025 22:19
In the church, we often measure maturity by knowledge, leadership, or spiritual gifts. But Jesus redefines the standard: maturity is measured by love. Love that forgives, serves, sacrifices, and seeks reconciliation.

Obedience Rooted in Love 19.05.2025 25:05
Many Christians wrestle with obedience, fearing it will lead them back into a works-based mindset. But Jesus turns that fear on its head.

As we remain in His Word a...
