Trinity Streetsville

Rob, Erikan and Elizabeth unpack Jesus' first words and actions after his three-day long silence, and how we can apply them to our lives

When a child utters their very first words it’s an emotional moment for parents. What may sound like baby talk gives us an early clue about our child’s purpose and personality. On Easter Sunday when Jesus rises from the dead, he breaks his three-day long silence, and speaks some of history’s most memorable words. What were Jesus’ famous first words on the day of resurrection? And, what clues do they give us about his purpose and ours?

There’s an old saying: "It’s not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it.” This Good Friday we will explore Jesus' final words, "It is finished,” exploring HOW Jesus said these words. We’ll discover that though they may actually sound like words of defeat, these are actually words of victory.

Join us for our Maundy Thursday service as we prepare our hearts for Good Friday.

Annie, Bridgette And Jane share how taking Alpha dramatically impacted their faith

One day our lives will come to an end. It’s hard to fathom what that will feel like. Will we be able to let go of our fears and entrust ourselves to what comes next? This Sunday we will consider Jesus’ final words, words that show us not only how to live, but how to die.

Elizabeth sits down with our worship leader Libby McGrath and some of the worship team to get to know a bit more about them, hear about the behind-the-scenes of worship on a Sunday morning, and understand the significance of music in Christian ministry.

Sometimes, less is more. Join us this Sunday as we delve into the many layers of meaning behind Jesus' seemingly simple statement, "I thirst," and discover how it speaks volumes about our own longing for fulfillment and intimacy with God.

Susan, Dianne, and Lynda discuss Jesus' humanness and willingness to go through abandonment, suffering and rejection, and what that means for us. They also well as talk about their own life group and how it helps them through the seasons of life.

Join us this Sunday at as our guest preacher and celebrant, Peter Mills, helps us consider these Famous Last Words of Jesus!

Elizabeth spends some time with Kylah, Jesse and Tracy to discuss the impact that Trinity's Neighbourhood Assessment Team is having in the Streetsville community

Even amidst his own suffering on the cross, Jesus's profound concern remained focused on others rather than himself. This Sunday, join us as we delve into the depth of Jesus' final words, unveiling his remarkable care for women and mothers. Discover how his compassionate example challenges us to cultivate a community of care that surpasses barriers of race, class, and even familial ties.

Today, we sat down with Bill, Martyn and J.P. to discuss the Men's Ministry at Trinity and to learn about how gathering as an intergenerational group of men can play an important role in community building and discipleship in the church.

Jesus hung around the wrong types of people during his life. The same was true in his death. The last conversation Jesus had before he died was with a non-religious criminal! Yet, these Famous Last Words can transform our own attitudes toward those we consider outsiders.

Alex, Christine and Pradeep discuss the importance of having a strong online ministry, what they love about being on the team, and how they've gotten involved.

Join us for our Lenten teaching series, "Famous Last Words," as we explore the profound messages spoken by Jesus from the cross. This week, we will delve into the depths of forgiveness as we reflect on Jesus' powerful plea in Luke 23: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

In the Bible, ashes are a sign of penitence and mortality. They remind us of the sin in our lives, the shortness of life, and our need for God’s love. As we begin the forty days of Lent, join us at Trinity Streetsville as we celebrate Ash Wednesday: a beautiful, traditional service of confession, communion, ashes.

Elizabeth talks with the Bishop about his thoughts on Trinity Church Streetsville, what it's like to be a Bishop overseeing 80+ churches, and the importance of embracing technology to proclaim the gospel in a post-pandemic world.

Join us this Sunday for a transformative journey as we welcome Bishop Kevin Robertson to lead us through Mark 9:2-9, exploring the breathtaking account of the Transfiguration of Jesus. As part of this special service, we will also be celebrating confirmation, a beautiful symbol of spiritual growth and commitment.

Carol and Ted talk about how their faith has grown through attending and getting involved at Trinity, as well as, relating to this week's series, talking about what practicing Sabbath means.

This Sunday we explore how Jesus, the Transformer of Traditions, redefines the sacred concept of Sabbath. We’ll discover a new and perpetual rest that is found in Christ and we’ll learn how God’s people are called to move beyond mere rest to resurrection living! Join us Sunday at Trinity, where old symbols find new life!

Grace, Jordana, and Simon speak to the importance of a good children's ministry and how Trinity supports kids of all ages and their parents on a Sunday morning.

Jesus continues to spark controversy, this time by challenging one of Israel’s most sacred symbols: the temple itself. In this Sunday's sermon, we'll explore how Jesus proposed a profound shift from physical structures to God's spiritual dwelling within. Join us as we explore these fiery teachings that shook the foundations of tradition and paved the way for a new, unshakeable foundation in Christ.

The Godfather gave us some threatening advice: “Don’t take sides against the family!” Gulp! Family is a sacred symbol for many people today, just as it was in Jesus’ time. But Jesus “played with fire” when he dared to redefine “family” around himself! Join us this Sunday as Jesus deals with yet another “hot” topic, the topic of family.

In this episode, we hear from Rik, Elizabeth, and Bimpe about how impactful the upcoming Week of Prayer will be, and how you can join us this year from Jan 22-26!

Jesus, with his fiery passion, daringly confronted many cherished symbols of his time, sparking controversy and igniting opposition. In our ongoing series 'Playing With Fire,' we'll explore how Jesus challenged the very authority and significance of the Torah, the revered scriptures in Judaism. What implications does this hold for us as we interact with scriptures in our daily lives?

Elizabeth talks with Rob, Liz, and Bev about their experience at Trinity and how connecting in Christian community through Life Groups can deeply benefit our lives and journey with Christ.

Often, we perceive Jesus as meek and mild, but the reality is quite the opposite! Jesus consistently uttered and performed actions that disrupted the norm, making people uneasy and angry. Among his most provocative actions was his challenge and reinterpretation of Israel’s revered symbols and traditions.

A lot has happened this year! Tune in as Rob and Elizabeth highlight the top 2023 events, milestones, sermon series, projects, and more.

Jesus' invitation was not to CONVERT to a new religion or JOIN a new denomination, but to FOLLOW him in a new way of life. In 2024 let's follow the way of Jesus together at Trinity.A New Way for A New Year

Who's included? Who's excluded? Some conspiracy movements are very selective about who they let in. But not the Advent Conspiracy! Jesus came to LOVE ALL people, and we are sent to LOVE ALL people. Join us this Sunday morning as we wrap up our Advent Conspiracy series.

Elizabeth talks to Jordan, Jesse, and Jessica about Christmas and relational gift-giving.

How exactly do you give more while also spending less? The answer is to give more relationally. Giving more isn’t about giving more toys, more gadgets, more clothes, more gift cards, or more stuff. Instead of giving PRESENTS, we give more PRESENCE! The best gift is to give more of yourself to others. The incarnation of Jesus shows us, in very practical terms, what it means to give relationally.

In this episode, Elizabeth has the privilege and pleasure of talking with Greg Holder, co-founder of the Advent Conspiracy. He opens up on the origin of the movement and shares how the Advent Conspiracy works. He also tells us about the importance of each of the tenets, and what his prayer is for the 'watching world' this Christmas. You don't want to miss this conversation.

Christmas is a season more: more food, more gifts, more bills, more debt! Is excessive spending really the best way to Celebrate Jesus' birthday? This Sunday we explore how can we be thoughtful and prayerful about the gifts we give and the purchases we make. After all, by spending less on ourselves we can more joyfully give to those in need.

This week on Trinity Talks, Elizabeth is joined by Jen, Lynne, and Mike as we see Trinity's biggest outreach opportunities this Christmas. Join us in making a difference for those who need it most!

At Christmas it feels like our calendars are too full, our to-do lists are too long, the stores are too busy, and the stress is too high. How do we get back to the heart of Christmas? The answer is WORSHIP. Each year Advent gives us an opportunity to worship the miracle of Christ’s coming.

Rob and Erikan join Elizabeth in this Sermon Series Wrap Up. Together they look back over the recent sermon series Livin the Dream (Genesis 37-50) and make connections about Joseph's life and Jesus's mission. This episode was recorded live on November 26 2023

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 lifelong dream finally comes true.

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. They unpack the story of Joseph as found in Genesis 39, and dive into themes of distraction, power, and sexual temptation.

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 Dream by looking at the dream God gave to Joseph and how it turned his world upside down. Are you willing to be disrupted by God’s dream for your life?

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.
