June 4th, 2023 | Secret Christians | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
June 05, 2023 17:15 - 38 minutes - 52.6 MB"The one you try and impress is the one that will reward you." Think about that for a second. With all the social platforms that focus on building ourselves up and promoting ourselves, who are we really doing it for? It's so easy to get lost on the lie that a pixelated thumbs up means that we are accepted and loved and affirmed. But Jesus offers a better way. He offers an audience of One. An audience that only includes God our Father, the one who made and created us and whose opinion is the o...
May 28th, 2023 | The Famous Last Words of Joshua | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
May 31, 2023 14:51 - 19 minutes - 26.9 MBThis week we welcomed Dr John Span to speak on the last words of Joshua. Joshua choses his words with intentional care as he is giving clear instructions to the leaders of the next generation of Israelites. In these passages we are reminded of how important it is that we stick to the word of God and that we do not look to the right or to the left. Far from a directive that is only applicable to the leaders during this time in history, we are still engaged in the same temptations that the Isra...
May 21st | Grace Valley Church
May 22, 2023 22:24 - 36 minutes - 50.1 MBThis week, we hear from Phil Tadros as he unpacks what was going on in Acts Acts 11:19-31 / 13:1-3. In these chapters, we see the spreading of the Gospel accelerated with the passion and dedicated faith of new believers. Despite all their flaws, the members of these fledgling churches were united in their mission to spread the Good News. If you are interested in finding more about Phil's Mission To Stoney Creek, find them on Facebook @MissionToStoneyCreek.

May 7th, 2023 | Giving Up My Rights | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
May 08, 2023 22:14 - 38 minutes - 52.4 MBEvery time we are wronged, it is an opportunity to show our offenders grace and Christ's love. It can be the hardest thing in the world to do, but as followers of Christ, that is what we are called towards. Listen in as Pastor Paul unpacks Matthew 5:38-42. ~KT
April 30th, 2023 | Oath Taking | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
May 01, 2023 18:04 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MBHave you ever sworn on the life of a beloved pet or relative? "I swear on Mr. Fluffybutt's life!" The history of how 'swearing on' something is actually pretty interesting and once you learn about it, its really clear as to why Jesus says that Christian's should not swear on anything. As Christian's, our "yes" should be "yes" and our "no" should be "no". Despite this, we human beings have an incredible capacity to lie - most of the time innocently but sometimes intentionally. We must repent o...
April 23rd, 2023 | What God Has Joined Together | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
April 24, 2023 17:30 - 44 minutes - 61.7 MBGod has designed the male and female body to be complementary to each other on both the physical and emotional level. Why did He design us that way? What are some of the implications if we don't stick to God's good plan for us? Pastor Paul addresses this topic as well as the topic of divorce in this Sunday's sermon based on Matthew 5:31-32 and Matthew 19:1-12.
April 16th, 2023 | Dangerous Desire | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
April 17, 2023 17:43 - 49 minutes - 68.5 MBAt first glance, this passage seems to be a little dramatic. Why is Jesus talking about tossing body parts into hell? Doesn't that seem like a little much, especially when He's referring to something like lust, which is something that almost everyone experiences? But Jesus is talking about the misuse of our God given sexuality. When we make a commodity of it, when we advertise it, when we consume it as in the form of pornography, it degrades our very souls. It objectifies and degrades us into...
April 9th, 2023 | The Life Of The King | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

March 26th, 2023 | Relationship Rescue | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
March 28, 2023 00:19 - 43 minutes - 60 MBIf 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 ...
March 19th, 2023 | Anger Management | Grace Valley Church, Dundas Ontario
March 21, 2023 00:02 - 34 minutes - 48 MBThis 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
March 13, 2023 18:57 - 33 minutes - 46.1 MBThis 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 t...
March 5th, 2023 | The Curve-Buster, Grace Valley Church, Dundas
March 06, 2023 17:48 - 42 minutes - 58.2 MBIf 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 ...
February 26th, 2023 | Salt & Light | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
February 27, 2023 16:42 - 24 minutes - 33.8 MBMany 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 19th, 2023 | Persecuted | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
February 21, 2023 03:01 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MBwww.gracevalleychurch.ca
February 12th, 2023 | Peacemaker | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
February 13, 2023 18:42 - 42 minutes - 58.3 MBWhen 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...
February 5th, 2023 | Upside Down Living: Part 1 | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
February 06, 2023 16:19 - 33 minutes - 45.8 MBWhat 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 re...

January 15th, 2023 | Steward Leadership | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
January 16, 2023 18:54 - 34 minutes - 47.8 MBEvery 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 t...
January 8th, 2022 | Back To Basics | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
January 10, 2023 01:35 - 40 minutes - 56.2 MBIt'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 l...
January 1, 2023 | Letter To The Church At Smyrna | Grace Valley Church, Dundas
January 02, 2023 19:17 - 37 minutes - 51.4 MBfaith 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 ...

July 25, 2022 15:30 - 40 minutes - 55.8 MBThis week, Pastor Paul dives in to one of the most interesting stories in the bible. In 1 Samuel 28, we meet a desperate and distraught King Saul. He's so desperate, he will break his own moral code and belief system and consult a woman of the occult to help solve his problems. This story is about what happens when you are without God, and it applies to every single one of us - believers and unbelievers alike. It's also about the reality of the spirit world, and how dangerous and real the...

July 11, 2022 19:01 - 28 minutes - 39.2 MBIn this sermon, we look at what a deep friendship actually looks like. We are created beings, designed for community by a God whose whole being is the essence of communal relationship. We are not self-sustaining and we are not meant to be. In our greatest need, the thing we need the most is a friend to stand up for us, to walk alongside us and lean on. Even Jesus himself needed friends, as we see in the garden of Gethsemane. So what does it mean for us, as Christians, to be a friend to one a...
