We started something that I think could be quite huge yesterday…a year of living with margin and living on mission. Sylvia’s story reminds me this morning so personally why I want to live that way: To all of you who work so hard to create a church that people who have given up on church, […]
It’s an exciting weekend at Connexus. In Orillia, we wrap up Three Letter Word with a message all about how to pray. One of the few times we’ve ever completely changed directions and wrote the message to specifically answer your questions from earlier in the series. Thank you for the great engagement in this series.
Tomorrow I’m not eating any food. I’m fasting. We’re on the verge of something that I think could significantly transform the lives of hundreds of families and the future of Connexus. And I want to be ready. So I’m fasting and some of our staff and key team are as well. (Next week we’ll invite

Sometimes we’re tempted to think our spiritual investments in our friends don’t matter that much. But we would be wrong. I love how Matt begins his story of baptism by talking about a friend who invited him out. When we baptized him, it marked the fact that he has surrendered his life to Jesus. Matt’s

I’m really enjoying the conversation around our new series Three Letter Word. (If you missed the messages so far, you can catch up online or get the podcast on iTunes.) The series is probing this question: why do we always want to trust God for things? Why don’t we simply trust God? Frankly, it’s a question

Over the last two weekend at Connexus, we’ve once again seen a record number of people attending our weekend services. When the church sees that, it reflects what I believe should happen. The more we can get out of the way and the more clearly people see Jesus, the more they will run toward forgiveness,
