Connexus Church Audio Podcast

If you've googled Christianity or were in a church as a kid, you likely heard people use words that you didn't completely understand. Words you don't hear in everyday life. Terms like Trinity, incarnation, atonement, and holiness. However, underneath these words are deep truths that unlock real insight into God and into your own life. In this series, we're going to help you break down these weird church words and discover meaning for the deepest desires in your soul.

Build your life on the rock of Jesus, not the shifting sand of anything else. The golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." You've probably quoted it and may even try to live by it. Jesus taught it as a small part of his most famous sermon, but there's so much more to it than you might expect. This scriptural account has more meaning, challenge, and depth for your life. What if you're missing the whole point? Join us as Mark Clark unpacks this important message.

Acknowledging that the cause of our anxiety often stems from emotional responses rather than factual evidence, Pastor Mark discusses how three powerful beliefs: the existence of God, God's providence, and God's love, can alleviate these worries. Join Mark Clark as he continues unpacking Jesus greatest sermon in part 3 of Beyond The Golden Rule.

There are moments in our lives that will define us. This is that type of moment for us as individuals and as a church. We've seen the heart of God by looking at what he searches for and what he celebrates - but how will we respond? Let's join him on the mission of being FOR those around us and welcoming them home. Like the early church, in the power of the Holy Spirit, let's show people that they matter to us, and most of all, they matter to God.

Taking the step to care for someone who doesn't know Jesus can feel daunting. What does it mean to be the kind of person, and the kind of church, that cares for people who are far from God? There's something powerful about one human being intentionally serving another. It's at the heart of our faith and modeled by Jesus.

It's easy for us to dismiss or forget that God is working all around us. Not only do we miss what he's doing, but we also miss out on being a part of it. What if the key to a faith that's meaningful and engaging is looking to see who God is calling us to reach out to, and looking to see where he's already at work? What would happen if you made more room in your life to see the people around you who don't know Jesus the way God sees them? What if people saw you as a person of hope? What if they saw you as "home"? And what if they saw our church that way?

At Connexus Church, our heart beats for those yet to be reached with the hope of Jesus. Did you know that there are nearly 450,000 people in Simcoe County who don't attend church Sunday morning? The mission is urgent and clear. The FOR Them campaign is our bold response to God's call, a transformative journey to extend his love and grace to every corner of our community and beyond so that more people would know Jesus. The journey launches today.

We all need help—help from friends and help from Jesus to address the deepest need of the human heart. When you experience something that changes everything, you can't help but share it. As Jesus journeyed toward the cross and the tomb, different people along the way were invited to come and see. As his journey progressed, it became less clear what God was doing in the moment, but more clear to us today–clear that the invitation to come and see isn't just a physical one, it's a spiritual one. It's an invitation of forgiveness, hope, and freedom. It wasn't just news for a moment, but good news for all humanity. Good news for you, and it's definitely worth sharing.
