March 26th, 2023 | Relationship Rescue | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

If you're like most people, it's easy to jump right to being defensive when someone has a problem with you. But in Jesus' sermon on the mount, He shows us how to take a good look at ourselves and to drop our defenses so that we can be at peace with others. Jesus says that even being annoyed at someone is murdering them in your heart. That even the mildest form of greed or selfishness is full on thievery. He hold us to such an incredibly high standard because that's exactly the way our hearts nee...

March 19th, 2023 | Anger Management | Grace Valley Church, Dundas Ontario

This week, Pastor Paul looks at what Jesus says about anger. Anger can come in many forms - from outright rage, to seething resentment, to seemingly benign indifference. But it all starts somewhere, with a thought or feeling that is left unchecked and not given to God in prayer. Without direction or wisdom or healthy outlets, anger will infest every facet of our lives. Listen in today as we hear about what Jesus says about anger and how it affects those around us. ~KT www.gracevalleychurch.ca

March 12th, 2023 | Surpassing Goodness | Grace Valley Church, Dundas Ontario

This week, Pastor Paul takes a look at Matthew 5:17-20. In this passage, Jesus is addressing the ones who are the ultimate law keepers. The ones who spend an inordinate (and terribly unhealthy) amount of time obsessively following the 613 rules laid out in the oldest books of the bible. But Jesus says no matter what they do, they'll never be enough. He says even their best intentions are still rife with sin. There is no human standard of perfection that they (or ourselves) can ever meet and ther...

March 5th, 2023 | The Curve-Buster, Grace Valley Church, Dundas

If you've ever struggled with believing God's word is true, you will definitely want to tune in to this weeks sermon. Before I became a Christian, I would pick and choose which parts of which religions I found comforting and easy and I'd kind of mashed them up into a religion of my own making. A little bit of Wicca, a little bit of Buddhism, a little tiny teensy bit of Christianity. After all, what good is religion if it's not comforting? Isn't that what its for? But Jesus didn't pick and choose...

February 26th, 2023 | Salt & Light | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

Many of us have heard term that Christians should be "salt and light". But what does it mean and why is this the most perfect way of describing how a Christian should act? Tune in this week, Mark Hordyk unpacks this simple yet completely astounding analogy that Jesus used while speaking to the crowd at the sermon on the mount. ~KT www.gracevalleychurch.ca

February 12th, 2023 | Peacemaker | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

When we think of someone who is a peacemaker, we often think of the one who smiles and nods through family dinners because they don't want to make a fuss. Or the one who can't say no. Or the one who is always trying to solve the conflicts between other people. But when Jesus refers to peacemakers as being blessed, He's not talking about people with boundary issues. He's talking about people who strive to help others make peace between themselves and God. Everyone is at war with God, even the one...

February 5th, 2023 | Upside Down Living: Part 1 | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

What does it look like when we empty ourselves of ourselves? Jesus paints a vivid picture of the first two indicators of what we can expect when we put away our obsession with ourselves and start to focus on living a kingdom life. Where God is King and we are not. Where we don't spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about ourselves in social situations or work situations or future situations but instead we spend more time thinking about God and how we can help other people. Where we recogni...

January 15th, 2023 | Steward Leadership | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

Every one of us is a slave to something. We are actually created to be servants, but our tendency is to serve things that are not good for our souls. What does unhealthy servitude look like? It looks like a workaholic, or an unbalanced marriage or an anxious employee or a highly-stressed college student. Things like work and school, even our kids, are things that very easily enslave us into the trap of making them the centre of our lives. The things we spend the most time thinking about are the ...

January 8th, 2022 | Back To Basics | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

It's pretty easy to check off the required boxes when it comes to what we think a healthy Christian life should look like. Go to church on Sunday for 1.5 hours? Check. Join a small group and try and work through a bible study? Check. Pop into a couple of the bigger volunteer opportunities once or twice a year? Check. These are all good things - these are all GREAT things. But are they things that are actually making you grow as a Christian? Are you being challenged in your faith? Are you learnin...

January 1, 2023 | Letter To The Church At Smyrna | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

faith that it's no far stretch of the imagination to assume he was having a mental break when he wrote this letter. But upon closer reflection, we can see that the imagery used in this book was done so simply by necessity. The words that were given to John through the divine revelation of the Holy Spirit were so otherworldly, he really couldn't do anything but pile up all the mental imagery he could in order to get the message across. In Revelation 2:8-11, we're reading the words that were meant...
