June 29th, 2025 | Careful Who You Follow | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
In a world that is constantly screaming for our attention and worship, we must always be aware of who exactly we're following. Jesus invites us to follow Him down a path that does not require us to do anything except believe in Him. We don't have to trip over ourselves trying to prove our devotion to Him and we don't have to work ourselves to the bone trying to earn our worth. Who and what we worship defines who and what kind of person we will be, so let's make sure to choose wisely.

June 22nd, 2025 | Simon Peter & The Goodness of God | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
This week, we hear from Dr John Span, a missionary who works at Mukhanyo Theoligical College in KwaMhlanga, South Africa. Dr Span walks us through two passages that highlight the goodness of God. In the passage from Luke, we see a very human reaction from Simon Peter when confronted with the goodness and provision of our Lord.

June 15th, 2025 | The Cost of Kindness | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
This week, we take a hard look at our own motivations for being kind to one another. Kindess doesn't always look like how we think it looks and true kindness is never easy. Join us as we walk through Titus 3:4-8 with Kevin deJonge.

June 8th, 2025 | The Waiting Is The Hardest Part | Grace Valley Church | Dundas, Ontario
Patience is so much more than just breathing deep in a traffic jam or choosing to use every relaxation technique you've ever heard while teaching a child to tie their shoes. Biblical patience is an intentional heart posture that leads you towards a deeper relationship and dependence on God. This is not easy to do, especially if you are waiting for medical test results, or you have been waiting for a tough situation in your life to resolve. But it is one of the fruits of the Spirit that can radic...

June 1st, 2025 | Joy & Peace | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
Cultivating the fruit of joy isn't something that can be done over night, but it is something that every Christian should practice in their every day life. While happiness is an emotional response to external stimuli, joy resides deep in our hearts and cannot be changed by the weather. Listen in as Pastor Paul takes us through Philippians 4:4-9 and we learn how to refocus our thoughts towards joy and the beauty of the Lord.

May 25th, 2025 | What Is Love? | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
Why are we so obsessed with love? Our art, our songs, our movies, our television shows all revolve around the topic of love in some shape or form. In this sermon, Pastor Paul unpacks the reasons why our hearts and minds are so focused on love and what that says about our Creator.

May 4th, 2025 | Living Fruitfully While On Mission | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
This Sunday we follow along with Josiah Ling as he takes us through Matthew 9:35-38. Even though it's a privilege to be invited to share the gospel with others, it can be really intimidating. But the Holy Spirit has got our backs and all we're called to do is show up as God instructs. Join us this week as we learn more about how evangalism works and how we can be a part of God's great harvest.

April 28th, 2025 | From Disgraced to Dignified | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
Have you ever done something you swore you'd never do? So did apostle Peter. It's not hard to imagine the shame he must have felt and the the utter certainty that he was a failure of a human being. But when he encounters the risen Christ, after denying his Lord three times and crumbling under pressure, what does he do? He dives right into the sea and swims headlong right into Jesus' arms. Jesus calls Peter to Himself, despite Peters utter failure, despite the betrayal and despite his self loathi...

April 20th, 2025 | From Weeping to Witness | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
Here was the Mary who had been possessed by seven demons. The one whose uncontrolled, demonic rage had made her an outcast and an object of scorn and fear. Here she was, a woman whose fragile heart had been broken yet again because the one who told her He'd never leave her, was indeed gone. He'd died on a criminals cross and there was nothing she could do about it. But here was Mary, her eyes widening in disbelief and her soul screaming out in joy and unparallelled relief as her Saviour stood in...

April 13th, 2025 | King Jesus | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
In this incredible story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we learn that all is not as it seems. While the crowd was looking towards this outcast of a man to save them from Roman rule, shouting "Hosanna!" and laying their clothes at His feet, Jesus was preparing Himself for what was to come - His ultimate rescue mission. A mission that was far from addressing the immediate concerns of the people, yet it addressed the deepest concern they didn't even know they had. The salvation of their ...

March 30th, 2025 | Jesus In A Rage | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
In this encounter with Jesus, we see one of the most beautiful descriptions of who Jesus is and how He relates to us as hurting, broken human beings. We have a warrior and a protector who gives us eternal life and a man who weeps with us in the meantime. Tune in this week as Pastor Paul unpacks John 11:17-44 and witness how Jesus rages against death itself and how He is our ultimate comfort and hope in the face of tragedy and loss.

March 23rd, 2025 | Blind No More | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
Many people today will say that our culture has moved "beyond" Christianity. That we know better than we did "back then." In the west, our pursuit of scientific exploration and our material wealth has lulled us into a false sense of security. We've figured it out. We were blind, but now we see. But Jesus Christ is telling us that unless we see Him as our saviour, we are just as blind as the man we meet in John 9. Join us today as we walk through the entire chapter of John 9 and we learn how Jesu...

March 16th, 2025 | Freedom In The Son | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
What is freedom, really? We're all enslaved to something - our mortgages, our desires for marriage, the approval of our bosses or our children. Jesus calls us to true freedom. Freedom that untethers our souls from the sinful servitude to the idols in our lives. When we serve Him, we're free from the relentless pursuit of things that will simply not satisfy our perpetual need to be filled. This week Josiah Ling joins us as we walk through John 8:31-47 together and learn what it means to serve and...

March 9th, 2025 | Unbelief | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
We don't get very many glimpses into the early life of Jesus, but John 7:1-9 gives us an interesting peek into Jesus' earthly family, specifically His brothers. Being a brother of Jesus must have been pretty strange. Most people thought Jesus was a nice guy, but kind of weird, and they didn't know what to make of Him. Certainly very few of them believed He was the true Messiah and Jesus' brothers were no different. Believing in Jesus as Lord is an act of the Holy Spirit, and without it, our hear...

March 2nd, 2025 | Stop Striving, Start Believing | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
This week, we are reminded that Jesus welcomes us with open arms but we need to make sure our hearts are postured in the right way or we run the risk of becoming false Christians. It's okay to come to the Lord with our wants, needs and weaknesses, but if we start seeing Him as simply a means to our own end, it can lead us down the wrong path. The folks we meet in John 6:22-35 were looking for breakfast, but Jesus calls them out on it - He knew they only wanted Him for His miracles and what He co...

February 23rd, 2025 | Do You Want To Get Well? | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
In this encounter with Jesus, we see Jesus healing a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years. It's easy to lose sight of the true miracle in this encounter because how amazing would it be to see this guy walking on by with his mat after all those years of misery and pain? But Jesus doesn't heal the man simply because He has the power to do so. He heals Him so that we might see the greater healing that needed to be done - the healing on this man's soul. We don't know what he was doing to cause Je...

February 9th, 2025 | Jesus Heals The Officials Son | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
"I'll believe it when I see it." That's the way most people who were beginning to hear about Jesus' miracles were thinking as they began to seek Him out to see what He could do for them. It's no wonder, and we can't really blame them. After all, so many of my own prayers revolve around asking Jesus to heal, comfort, provide and protect me and my loved ones as well. But in this story, we meet an important official who learned that not only can Jesus heal someone without even being near them, but ...

February 2nd, 2025 | The Original Watercooler Conversation | Grace Valley Church, Dundas Ontario
In this remarkable meeting with a shamed and outcast woman, Jesus reveals not only the kindness and compassion He has for people who are hurting, but He reveals His divinity for the very first time. Join us as we learn more about how our Lord treats us in our brokenness and how He chooses the least likely people to help spread the Good News.

January 26th, 2025 | Night School With Nicodemus | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
In this season if waning commitment to New Years resolutions, one thing is likely clear: no amount of positive self talk or beating ourselves up will ever cause true and lasting changes in our lives. The human heart is a fickle and easily tempted thing and it takes something outside of our own physical experience to truly change us. God gifted us with the Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen us in our daily fight against sin and temptation. Join us as we learn about our new birth in the Spirit an...

January 19th, 2025 | The Wedding Party | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
Remember when Jesus told Nathaniel that he would see greater works than the one he'd just witnessed? (John 1:50) Jesus is true to His word as He turns water into wine while attending a wedding in Cana. But why does Jesus use this particular time to do this particular miracle? Find out by tuning in this week and join us as we walk through John 2:1-11 together.

January 12th, 2025 | Encounters With Jesus: Nathaniel | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario
In the first Sunday of our new sermon series called Encounters With Jesus we meet Nathaniel. He's an earnest guy whom Jesus commends for being an authentic and geniune dude, but he's also a skeptic. So many of us can relate to him in the way that our initial reaction when we hear about what Jesus has done for us is disbelief. None of us want to be the one that falls for something that is too good to be true, so we guard our hearts with skepticism and all of the reasons why we don't need the Good...

At the beginning of each new year, we walk through one of the seven letters written to various churches in Asia Minor. This year, Pastor Mark unpacks a little bit of the letter to a church in Thyatira which is a bustling city with strong economic power and wealth. The warnings in this letter to the church in Thyatira is a warning to us as well - we must always be on our guard, especially when things are going spiritually well.

Every year we make new years resolutions, and every year most of us are still the same disorganized, financially stressed, short tempered, distracted and generally sedentary people we were the year before. Why? Well, for starters, most of us have a desire to make ourselves better because we know we aren't quite right. There's something in us that's telling us to be something better than we are. The problem is, we're striving after the wrong thing. And not only that, all that striving will never ...

Death breaks into our lives whether we like it or not. Sooner or later, we're all faced with it, whether we suddenly end up at the feet of Jesus one moment or whether we are aware it's going to happen. Simeon knew when he was going to die and he welcomed it with open arms and a peaceful heart. How did he get to the point of accepting death, even to the point of welcoming it? What caused his faith to run so deeply that he knew in his bones his soul would not be annihilated? That he was loved so d...

December 8th, 2024 | The Benedictus | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
When you are going through a tough season, whether or not it is physical or mental, chances are your first instinct isn't to praise God through it. Chances are, you are consumed with questions and thoughts of your own circumstances and not what God could be teaching you through it. We all do it, but it isn't the way God wants us to react when things are tough. Zechariah was mute (and likely deaf) for nine months, which sounds like an especially awful season to those of us who are chatty. But the...
