Great Commission pt.2

Pursuit - May 17th 2026

Here’s a podcast episode description based on your sermon notes: In this week’s message at True North Church, we explored what it truly means to pursue Jesus. Using Mark 2:1–12, we looked at the powerful story of the paralytic man lowered through the roof and discovered that pursuit is not passive — it is active, persistent, and fueled by faith. Jesus responds to people who seek Him with confidence, surrender, and expectation. We unpacked how worship is more than singing; it is a lifestyle of pursuit. From Matthew 7:7–8 to the faith of the Roman centurion, this message challenges us to stop pursuing a version of Jesus made in our image and instead surrender to being transformed into His image from glory to glory. If pursuit reveals desire, then the question becomes: what are we truly chasing? This message will encourage you to trust Jesus for who He says He is, pursue Him daily, and believe that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.

Council of moms- Mother's Day 2026

This week at True North Church, we did something a little different. Instead of a traditional sermon, we gathered around the wisdom of mothers. Our “Council of Moms” shared honest stories, hard-earned wisdom, laughter, and encouragement about parenting, marriage, faith, discipleship, and what it really looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. From raising children to navigating difficult seasons, this conversation reminded us that faith is often formed in the ordinary moments of love, sacrifice, prayer, and presence. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, young adult, or simply someone looking for wisdom and encouragement, this conversation is full of practical insight and heartfelt reminders that God is present in every season of life. We pray this episode encourages you, strengthens your family, and points you toward deeper trust in Jesus.

Discipleship isn’t like social media—it’s not a highlight reel. We don’t just post the wins; real discipleship includes the struggles, the failures, and everything in between. In this message, we break down why following Jesus can’t be reduced to a formula or system. Church growth isn’t scientific—it’s supernatural. The cross and the work of the Holy Spirit can’t be mass-produced. True discipleship requires slowing down, sharing life, and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us daily. We dive into the power of impartation—“come and be with Me”—where identity is formed and character is caught, not just taught. Then we move into what it means to remain in Christ, where transformation flows from connection, not pressure. This week challenges us with a deeper question: Who are you imitating? Because every decision you make is shaping who you’re becoming. Discipleship isn’t just about believing in Jesus—it’s about becoming like Him. “Live as people of the Light.”

Easter Event – Week 2 | From Information to Transformation In this week’s message, we step into Luke 24 and walk alongside the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—a moment filled with confusion, disappointment, and ultimately, divine revelation. These disciples had hoped Jesus would be the One… but because He didn’t meet their expectations, they lost hope. Sound familiar? At some point, we’ve all experienced hope deferred. Yet even after hearing reports of the empty tomb, they still couldn’t see what God was doing right in front of them. Why? Because sometimes our perspective limits our ability to recognize God’s power. Jesus begins to unfold the Scriptures, revealing how everything—from Moses to the prophets—pointed to Him. What we often call “types and shadows” comes alive as we see glimpses of Christ through figures like Moses, Joseph, Boaz, Esther, and Hosea. This is more than theology—it’s a reminder that God has always had a redemptive plan. But the turning point wasn’t just information—it was encounter. As they urged Jesus to stay, they leaned into His presence. In that moment, we see a powerful truth: we weren’t created for occasional connection, but daily dependence. As Isaiah 26:3 reminds us, God keeps in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed—fully dependent—on Him. Then comes the breakthrough. In the breaking of bread, their eyes are opened. And in Luke 24:32, they declare, “Did not our hearts burn within us?” What started as confusion turned into clarity. What began as information became transformation. That’s the invitation for all of us. Not just to know about Jesus—but to encounter Him in a way that sets our hearts on fire.
