Trinity Streetsville

It's hard to believe, but Joseph's tumultuous life story has a happy ending as Joseph is reunited and reconciled with his estranged family. Isn't that a dream we all have? To mend broken bridges and heal divisions? Reconciliation is a dream we all long for in some way or another. This Sunday's preacher, Justin Stratis, wraps up our "Livin' the Dream" teaching series by showing how Joseph's lifelon...

Elizabeth is joined by LIFE Group members Heidi, Bill, and Jenn as they discuss dream jobs, life calling, God's plan, and what it means to be a minister in our daily lives. Based on the November 19, 2023 sermon as we follow the story of Joseph.

We can all imagine some “dream job” that we’d love to have. But is our dream job merely a job that fulfills OUR dreams? Or is it a job that furthers GOD’s dream? This Sunday we’ll learn from Joseph how our jobs can be a DREAM jobs when we use them for God’s purposes.

Join Elizabeth with small group, or LIFE Group members Linda, Martyn, and Bruce as they discuss the recent sermon from Trinity Streetsville on November 12 2023.

Many people set out in pursuit of a dream with a clear vision from God, but somewhere along the way they get distracted and the dream goes off course. This Sunday we continue our study of Joseph’s life by exploring two of the biggest distractions that keep us achieving our dreams.

Not all dreams are sweet. All of us have been awoken by a bad dream or a nightmare. But what happens when our life feels like a bad dream? When we find ourselves in scary places or frightening situations? This Sunday we continue our study of the life of Joseph and we’ll learn how we can respond to life’s dark moments.

In this series we are learning about the story of the bible's favourite dreamer, Joseph. We don’t like disruptions. All of us try to manage and micromanage our lives to avoid the unexpected. But dreams mess everything up! When God gives us a dream, it almost always disrupts our equilibrium and rocks the boat. That’s what happened to Joseph. This week we begin our new teaching series Livin’ the Dre...

It's a pretty radical statement: "Happy are the poor?" What did Jesus mean when he spoke these words 2000 years ago? This Sunday our guest preacher, Michael Messenger, will help us unpack these words and challenge us to embrace our own spiritual poverty in Jesus' upside-down kingdom.

Most of us believe there is a connection between money and happiness. But is that true? Will more money result in more happiness? This week we’ll discuss that happiness isn’t really about how much money we have, but how we manage the money we do have.

G. K. Chesterton once wrote: “The test of all happiness is gratitude.” On this Thanksgiving Sunday we’ll discover the connection between gratefulness and happiness and explore ways we can cultivate more gratitude in our lives.

God is the happiest being in the universe and Jesus was the happiest person alive. Even more, Jesus prayed that his disciples would have “the full measure of my joy within them.” Are we experiencing that happiness ourselves? Do we experience the kingdom of God as a celebration? Does our life reflect the joy of the gospel? Join us this Sunday as we continue our teaching series: What Makes Us Happy.

Despite all the advancements of modern society, are we any happier? While we tend to scorn the wisdom of past generations, maybe the ancients knew something about happiness that we don’t. This Sunday we'll look at one of the oldest teachings on happiness, Psalm 1, to see what we can learn about finding happiness today.

What makes us happy?” It’s not as easy of a question as you might think. Some of the things we assume make us happy, actually don’t. Many of us search for happiness, but have a hard time finding it. But both psychology and theology tell us there is ONE source of happiness that surpasses them all. What is it? We’ll find out this Sunday as we begin a brand new teaching series exploring the causes an...

Before a runner starts a race they get into the “set” position. As Trinity looks toward the future, how can we get ourselves “set” for success? This Sunday, Trinity will be holding its annual Ministry Fair, and Rob will be challenging all of us to get into our positions.

Join us for our last week in the series, Jesus is the Question!

Names are more than labels. We are intimately connected to our names in ways that are powerful and mysterious, and our names enable us to enter into relationship with each other. Even God knows our names and wants a relationship with us. Join us this Sunday as Rob explores Jesus’ famous question, “What is your name?"

The last half century has been famously dubbed “the age of anxiety,” but worry is nothing new - it’s been around forever. In fact, 2000 years ago, Jesus’ longest discourse on human emotion was about worry. Join us this Sunday as our guest preacher Simon Davis unpack one of Jesus’ most famous questions: “Why do you worry?"

What is the scope and reach of God’s love? Who’s in? Who’s out? What about us? Does our love have limits? Today, our guest preacher Rev. Sandra Seaborn, unpacks one of Jesus’ most powerful questions: “If you only love those who love you, why should you get credit for that?"

When the storms of life hit, do you trust God or turn from God? In our time of need, do we believe that God will protect us, or abandon us? This Sunday our guest preacher Rev. Peter Blundell explores Jesus’ challenging question, “Where is your faith?"

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we see tons of people: family, friends, coworkers, strangers. We see them… but do we really see them? How much do we really pay attention to the people around us, especially those people who are struggling and need? Today we explore Jesus’ provocative question, “Do you see…?"

How many of us have gone to Jesus looking for an answer? If you look through the bible, Jesus actually asks more questions than he gives answers - 307 times to be exact! This week we start our new sermon series: Jesus is the Question, where we explore questions Jesus asked and why these questions are so life-changing.

In the final week of our Fixer Upper series we are exploring how renovated hearts leads to restored relationships. The work of renovation isn’t a DIY project: we need good people in our lives to help us grow. So, how can we create life-giving relationships while restoring broken ones as well?

The most visible part of any reno project is the exterior. Nobody sees the plumbing, they see the fixtures. Nobody sees the wiring, they see the lights. The same thing happens when we undergo a spiritual renovation in our heart. Eventually, those changes inside us will show up on the outside: in our behaviours, decisions, and choices. Are you ready to make real changes in your life?

99% of the decisions we make are not based on facts or truth but are rooted in emotions/feelings. Joy, fear, love, acceptance, anger, greed, are all different forms of emotions we experience in our life, and all of them affect our spiritual health. Luke Lima, a student at Wycliffe College, will teach us that managing our emotions is essential to renovating our spiritual lives.

A major renovation often involves rewiring in order to fix something broken, or make something old become new again. This is no different from a major renovation of the heart - transforming our lives requires rewiring our thoughts; and this may mean changing the ideas, images, and information that we currently hold onto. Join us for this episode as Rob Hurkmans talks to us about renewing our minds...
