Dear Church: Letters from a guy who walked with Jesus
As we start the third chapter of Peter's letter, we get back to his main point in writing to the church. These false teachers were spreading deception and it was all around a topic that Peter thought deserved great attention. This letter was to remind the church of what they already knew and why they needed to remember.

Dear Church: Letters from a guy who walked with Jesus.
The false teachers Peter is warning about, had some sort of spiritual experience with the true message of Jesus but made the choice to go back to their old life and to take others with them. Their stories serve as an example and warning as to why we need more than an experience.

Today we start looking at Peter's 2nd letter to the church. This one focuses on trials coming from within the church, mainly in the form of false teachers. But before Peter gets to that, he starts by reminding them that God has given them everything they need to live the Godly life He's called them to as followers of Jesus.

We don't like to talk about it but the Bible is clear that even as Christians, we will be called upon to endure suffering from time to time. The question posed in this section of Peter's letter is simply, "Are you ready to use that suffering as an opportunity to share your faith with others?"

How do we avoid following the crowd away from true worship? We'll finish this two part message today with the final key points found in the story of Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
Why would some people who gathered to worship Jesus entering the city, call for His death just 5 days later? The truth is, some of us are guilty of making the same mistakes. How can we take part in worship that is lasting?
Does it comfort you to know God has a game plan? Did you know that you're a part of that plan, even when it seems insignificant? Today, we take a look at a familiar story and take note of some often overlooked details and what the mean for us today.
Part 2 of our message "Action & Reaction" which is loosely based on Newton's 3rd Law of Motion which states, "for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction." So the question we're asking is simply, "What is your reaction to the Gospel of Jesus?"
Borrowing from Isaac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion that states, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," we'll talk about the reactions people have to the words and actions of Jesus.
A couple of weeks ago, we talked about "When Jesus doesn't show up." Now we continue to look at John 11 and what happens "When Jesus does show up." We need to remember who we believe in and how to find peace in His presence.
We take a break from tradition and look at a different resurrection story this year. What does the resurrection of Lazarus have to do with Easter?
Using the story of Lazarus in John 11, we look at what we need to remember when we pray and it seems like Jesus isn't showing up the way we expected.
Jesus continues His allegory on the sheep and shepherd and identifies Himself as the "Good Shepherd." This implications of this statement was far bigger than you can imagine. Join us as we consider what it means to be a part of His "flock."
Guest Brett Ullman travels North America speaking on a number of social topics. Today he joins us at Connect to discuss the church's response to those struggling in the area of mental health. This informative conversation will help you know what steps to take next whether you're struggling or someone you know needs your help.
There's a lot going these days. Constantly changing. Constantly demanding our attention. Sometimes it seems overwhelming. No matter how much we know about Jesus, sometimes our minds and spirits get pulled in too many directions. Today we look at how we can "REFOCUS" our hearts on Jesus from the Gospel of John.
Do you have a spiritual "Blind Spot?" How can you be sure? As we come to the end of John 9 in our series, "Just Give Me Jesus" we'll look at how to spot blind spots that may be interfering with our healing and salvation.
Have you ever felt confused because God didn't show up the way you expected? Have you created your own "rules" of what it means to be a Christian only to read in the Bible or have someone explain that maybe you're mistaken? Does that offend you? How do you react? In today's continuation John 9, we'll talk about what some people get so offended by Jesus and how we can avoid the same mistake.
Have you ever asked the question, "Why me God?" You're not alone. Sometimes our pain and suffering can be caused by choices we or others have made. But sometimes the "why" remains a mystery. In this story of Jesus healing a blind man, Jesus redirects the question of why this man was born blind to explain "how" it can being glory to the Father. If you're tired of asking God "why" maybe it's time to start asking "how."
In this final round of our series, PB talks about one of the greatest battles every Christian faces in their life. How can we recognize it and how do fight against it?
Sometimes we found ourselves in a precarious situation and desperately waiting on God to intervene. Whether it's relational, financial, spiritual or even involving our health, it can be a daunting time in our lives. But God wants us to remember that He's already given us Power & Authority over the things that try to harm us. Sometimes, He just wants us to walk in that knowledge and get moving forward.
As we continue our series "This Is How I Fight," we talk about open doors in our lives that can allow our spiritual enemy to come in and continue to fight against us. Invite someone to join you as we worship and learn together.
When we pray, we don't always get the answers we're looking for immediately. What does that mean and how should we respond? Today we continue our series, "This is how I fight," by talking about territorial spirits and how to fight in times of waiting.
We're all fighting something in life. If you don't think you are...you're probably fighting complacency. The problem is that we often fail to realize who our fight is with and that leads to even more problems. We need to know who we're fighting and most importantly how to fight.
As we continue through John 8, Jesus presents information to this crowd of unbelievers that is both weighty and hopeful. Join us as we talk about what we can know, "In Light Of Jesus."
Have you ever struggled to find confidence in who you are? Do you feel held back because of your own thoughts towards yourself or because of the words and actions of others? Don't miss out on a single moment of our service today. The worship and the word will speak to these issues and more as we continue our walk through the Gospel of John together.
If you'd like a copy of the scriptures mentioned towards the end of the message, you can download them in the message notes.
Ever feel like the whole world is against you? That you're being used for someone else's gain? That your mistakes have been exposed for everyone to see? Let's learn to exchange feeling "caught" in our mistakes and instead feel "caught" in the love of Jesus.
It's the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. The event has reached a climax. The priest is likely pouring water out over the altar commemorating God's provision of life-giving water in the wilderness. In that moment, Jesus steps forward and shouts, "Who's Thirsty?"
When was the last time you gave your undivided attention to anything? How important is it to give this kind of intentional attention to developing your understanding of Jesus? That's what we're talking about today in week 40 of our series, "Just Give Me Jesus."
We know it's easy to find ourselves wrongly judging others around us, but are you guilty of judging Jesus? Join us for week #39 of our series through the Gospel of John.
We're continuing our series through the Gospel of John, "Just Give Me Jesus." In His day and still today, Jesus was and is one of the most polarizing people in history. Today, it's time to pick a side.
As we head into Thanksgiving around here, what better time to learn from Jesus how He dealt with family members who expressed doubt in who He really was. How do you respond to family? How should you respond? Welcome to Connect Church!
The day after Jesus miraculously fed over 5000 people with a kids lunch, the same group of people walked away from Him because what He said offended them. Have you ever been offended by something you heard in church, maybe something you read in the Bible? Will you choose to walk away or will you choose to stay?
As we close out our series on "We The Church" Pastor Ben talks about what it means to be an influencer for Jesus in a world that has lost the true meaning of this word. We'll look at the story of a rather unlikely influencer for Jesus.
Week 2 of our series "We The Church" teaches us the value we each bring into the family of God. We all play a part and each part is important.
What does it mean to be a part of the church? In this 3 part series, we'll learn what the Bible says about this question and discover how we can play a part in God's plan.
Imagine being a new follower of Jesus and suddenly He makes the statement, "Unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood...." What would you be thinking in that moment? What could He possibly have meant? This foreshadowing to the "last supper" has great meaning to us today.
Are people "predestined" to believe in Jesus or do have "free will" to choose? Does it matter?Are we just creating more division among the church? Let's talk about this and more in our continuing series through the Gospel of John, "Just Give Me Jesus."
While we generally live our lives following the thinking that "seeing is believing," when it comes to the things of God the opposite is true, "Believing is Seeing." From our series, "Just Give Me Jesus," we'll talk about how we can God at work in the world today.
From our series "Just Give Me Jesus," we continue our journey through the Gospel of John. Jesus let the crowd around Him know, there's really just one thing God wants from them and it's the same thing for us today. We are Connect Church in Bolton, Ontario. We are church with a heart to connect people to Jesus, Others, Their World and Their Purpose.
From our series "Just Give Me Jesus." How can we use the words of Jesus to help us overcome fear in our everyday life? We hope that you'll be encouraged by the word today.
We are excited to welcome Rami Goreal from Rivers of Life to continue our series "Just Give Me Jesus." Today Rami takes a fresh look at a familiar story where Jesus feeds a crowd of 5000+ people. You'll be challenged by this powerful word today.
Week 29 in our series through the Gospel of John has Jesus exposing the unbelief of the religious leaders questioning Him. How can we ensure we don't fall into the same traps?
"The time is coming, indeed it's here now..." These words of Jesus carry the weight of eternal life. It's time to "Get Woke."
Have you ever wondered why God is called the "Father" and why Jesus called the "Son?" This week we're going to talk about why it's an important question to ask. Thanks for being with us today and we hope you'll be blessed by our time together.
There's something really important Jesus wants you to know about taking a day off but you'll have to wait until the end of the message to find out what it is.
When you're done listening, connect with someone you know with our "Talk It Over" and be intentional about applying the message to your everyday life.
Jesus talks to a man who's been laying by a pool for 38 years. Their exchange will challenge your thinking about what it means to live with expectation and to trust in the word of Jesus.
What if the only person you believed could help your dying son told you to go home? Would you be able to walk away with no assurances? Today in our series "Just Give Me Jesus" we'll hear about a father that was faced with that choice. Invite someone to join you for this challenging message, "Walking Toward Your Miracle."
Have you ever had something unexpected happen? Have you ever thought you knew all there was to know about someone, only to find out something unexpected? How about when it comes to God? A Divine Encounter describes what happens when we unexpectedly find ourselves in the presence of God. We don't know why you chose this message, but this could be the beginning of a divine encounter for you.
What if we really started to let God into the small details of our lives? Would it change the way we see the seemingly mundane interactions of our every day schedules? What if the "coincidences" in life are actually "divine moments" orchestrated by God?
John answers the concern about Jesus drawing more attention than John the Baptist. While his statement took a lot of humility, it also contained a lot of logic. Today, PB asks the question, "who do you consider to be the G.O.A.T. in your life? The answer may not be as obvious as you think.
What happens when we start have useless debates? Usually nothing good. How do we avoid pointless arguments and fulfill God's purpose for our lives? That's what we'll talk about today in our series, "Just Give Me Jesus."
Have you ever struggled with the idea of condemnation and judgement in Christianity? This is a message you need to hear. Join us as worship and learn what the Bible has to say on this topic.
The most quoted verse in the Bible is John 3:16. Today Pastor Ben breaks it down into four parts that are absolutely necessary to fully explain the message of Jesus and to reveal the fullness of God's love. You'll never look at this verse the same way again.
We all wear a lot of hats in life. We often use those hats to impress the people around us or to convince them to see us a certain way. Jesus lets us know about the only hat that really matters. Join us today for worship, prayer and a message from our series "Just Give Me Jesus."
In Part 2 or our look at Jesus visit to the Temple where He addressed the lazy worship practices taking place there, we answer the questions, "Why do we come to worship?" and "What do you bring?"
Jesus was very passionate about His Father's house. Today we're going to talk about the events that lead to the temple becoming a "marketplace" and the the steps we need to take to ensure it doesn't happen in our lives today.
The story of Jesus first miracle or sign is about much more that just turning water into wine. It was the first time He revealed His glory to His disciples but maybe He was revealing even more than that. Join Pastor Ben as he continues through the Book of John in our series "Just Give Me Jesus."
As we come to the close of John Chapter 1, we pause to take another look at what this Gospel says about Jesus. His first disciples spent just a few moments with Him before becoming convinced of His identity.
Jesus didn't begin His ministry debating leaders in the temple. He started by inviting future leaders to "come and see" what He was all about. No matter who you are or how skeptical you might be, He's inviting you to do the same thing. Come and See.
John 1:43 says that Jesus "found Philip" and said, "Come, follow me." We're going to take a look at what this very familiar statement means for all of us. Is it a command? Is it an invitation? What are you going to do when Jesus tells you, "Come, follow Me?"
The first words of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of John ask a very deep question that He's still asking followers today. How we respond reveals more than we probably realize.

What do you do when God prompts you to do something but you're not really clear on the details? It can be hard to keep going but the Bible is filled with stories of people that did exactly that, including John the Baptist. This message shows the imporatance of obeying God's direction until....
Today in our series, "Just Give Me Jesus" we'll talk about the importance of John the Baptist. How does his life and ministry parallel our own lives today? We are all called to different places and people but as believers we all share a common purpose.
Would you recognize Jesus if He showed up in your life? Are you sure? Sometimes we don't recognize Jesus in our life because He doesn't look the way we think He should. Maybe it's time to get outta your own head and allow God to reveal His Son to you like never before.
If you've ever struggled with the idea of thinking that you had to fix the world's problems, today's message is for you.
This week in John we look at how Jesus is the Life and Light for all of us. What does that mean in our everyday life and how can we use this to overcome the battle in minds to stop being controlled by our emotions.
