Jesus' first invitation to His disciples wasn't to pray a prayer or join a program—it was simply "Come, follow me." But what does that look like in everyday life? And how have we confused existence with the abundant life Jesus promised?

In this message, we explore:

  • The difference between being alive and truly living the life God designed for you
  • Why Jesus called His followers to be "fishers of men" (and what that actually means)
  • The story of the rich young ruler and what stands between us and real life
  • How following Jesus means giving Him the top spot—over and over again
  • An exciting new opportunity to grow deeper in your faith journey

This isn't about adding Jesus to your already-full life. It's about discovering that He IS the life you were made for. As we head into a new season, it's time to get back to basics and ask: What would it look like if God worked through you the way He worked through Jesus?

Join us for this challenging and hopeful message about choosing life over mere existence.

In this message from our What Our World Needs Now series, we explore the fruit of the Spirit known as gentleness and discover that gentleness isn't weakness—it's strength used for restoration. Through Galatians 6 and the example of Jesus, we'll learn how to become people who don't just catch others in their failures, but help catch them when they fall. What if the church became the safest place to land when life falls apart?

In this message, we explore why so many of us feel anxious, overwhelmed, and pulled in different directions—and how Jesus offers something deeper than just temporary relief. Not the absence of problems, but a kind of peace that puts us back together.

If you’ve been carrying stress, worry, or that constant mental noise you can’t seem to turn off, this talk will help you discover how to stop carrying it alone—and experience the peace only Jesus can give.

Ever cried at Disney World—the "happiest place on earth"? Pastor Tim shares a vulnerable moment from his youth that reveals a profound truth: you can't manufacture real, lasting joy.

In this message, we dive into Jesus' teaching from John 15 about the vine and branches, discovering that authentic joy isn't found in the next shopping trip, vacation, or dopamine hit from scrolling our phones. Instead, Jesus offers us something deeper—an unshakable joy that stays with you even on Monday mornings, in traffic, and through life's hardest moments.

Drawing from six years of church planting in Toronto, Tim unpacks how joy transforms when we flip our priorities: Jesus first, others second, yourself last. You'll hear the story of John and Cora—a couple whose lives were changed by a simple act of helping them move—and discover how serving others shifts our perspective from "I have to" to "I get to."

If you've ever felt like something's wrong with you because you can't just "be happy," this message is for you. Learn why cultivating joy takes time (like a vineyard that needs 6-7 years to produce mature fruit), and discover practical steps to remain in Jesus and experience the complete joy He promises.

Key Takeaway: Real joy doesn't come from perfect circumstances—it comes from remaining connected to Jesus and living outward toward others.

Just like using the wrong tool from a broken toolbox, these approaches only make things worse. Drawing from Romans 12, discover the first crucial decision for healing broken relationships: choosing to "get back to" people instead of "getting back at" them. Learn why forgiveness alone isn't enough, and how God's example of reconciliation calls us to move beyond our comfort zones—even when we're not the ones at fault. This practical teaching challenges followers of Jesus to see others through God's eyes and take the first step toward genuine restoration

When God’s people live as Kingdom carriers—welcoming without judgment, valuing outsiders, and working the field together—the church becomes a place people run toward. This is the kind of community Jesus imagined…and the kind Burnett is becoming.
