What does it mean to be truly known and loved by the ultimate friend? In this message from our "Imprint" series, Catherine explores the life-altering friendship offered to us by Jesus.

Drawing from the story of Lazarus in John 11, Catherine examines how friendship is a dynamic force that shifts through every stage of life. While human relationships can be limited by time, energy, and changing circumstances, Jesus remains the faithful friend who is always available and whose grace meets us in our failures. Discover how being marked by His heart transforms the way we relate to God and how we walk alongside others.

We often talk about Jesus as the "Rock," but we rarely speak the "quiet part" out loud: Jesus is also a stumbling block and an offense. In this message from the "Imprint" series, Michael Albano explores why being offended by Jesus is an inevitable and necessary part of a transformative relationship with Him.

Drawing from Matthew 10 and 11, Mike unpacks how Jesus’ radical truth often clashes with our personal expectations—whether He is sending His disciples into certain rejection or leaving John the Baptist to question Him from a prison cell . Discover why we must resist the urge to conform Jesus to our own image and instead allow His "sword" of truth to cut through our lives, turning every moment of friction into an open door for deeper growth and authentic companionship.

What if holiness isn’t a list of rules, but the most attractive force in the universe? In this message, Brady Wilson challenges our misconceptions of "holiness" as harsh or punitive, reframing it as the radical, matchless beauty of God .

Drawing on the imagery of the burning bush and the "Holy, Holy, Holy," Brady explores how God’s presence doesn’t overwhelm us to erase us, but to draw us forth into who we truly are. Discover how to move from a religion of "self-effort" into a companionable relationship with a Father who is utterly interested in you. This episode is an invitation to be marked by a beauty that the world can't help but notice .

What does it truly mean to be loved by God? In this message, Josh Reitzel challenges our common definitions of Agape, moving from the idea of "unconditional love" to the deeper biblical reality of God as the Great Initiator.

Drawing on the historical insights of Augustine and the Puritans, Josh explores how God’s love isn’t a reaction to our goodness, but the very source of it. This episode is an invitation to drop the masks of performance and perfection, allowing yourself to be fully seen and loved by the One who chose you before you were even formed. Discover the freedom of resting in a love that doesn't depend on you.

If you could invest your life in just one thing, what would it be? In this message, Mike explores why a life attuned to the voice of God is the ultimate investment.

Drawing from 1 Kings 3, we look at King Solomon’s radical request for a lev shomea, a "hearing heart" . Discover why true biblical wisdom is found in a right relationship with the Creator, moving beyond intelligence or formulas to a place of deep, personal listening. Whether through the story of the young prophet Samuel or personal testimony, this episode is an invitation to quiet the noise and pray: "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening"

What if humility isn't about thinking poorly of yourself, but about accurately recognizing your reality? In this message, part of our "Imprint" series, Jason Rath explores the "humble heart of Jesus" and what it means for us to be marked by His lowliness.

Drawing on the insights of Andrew Murray, Jason challenges our standard definitions of humility, reframing it as an "entire dependence on God". We explore how pride—the rejection of that dependence—is the root of all sin, from the fall of Satan to the temptation in Eden .

Using Philippians 2:3-11 as a guide, we look at the radical self-emptying of Christ. By examining the Nicene Creed, we see the weight of this humility: that the one who is "very God of very God" chose to take the form of a servant for our sake. This episode is an invitation to move away from self-exaltation and into the freedom of total dependence, learning to count others as more significant than ourselves as we are restored into the image of the one who first humbled Himself for us.

Do you ever feel like you have a "sheep-like" tendency to wander off or try to fix things on your own? In this message, part of our "Imprint" series, Kaj Wigston explores one of the most tender and significant images of Jesus found in the Bible: the Good Shepherd.

Drawing from John 10 and the beloved words of Psalm 23, Kaj unpacks how being marked by the shepherding heart of Jesus reshapes how we see God and ourselves. We move past the idea that the "sheep" metaphor is an insult, discovering instead that it is a beautiful picture of our need for a protector who knows us by name.

In this episode, we explore four ways Jesus reveals His heart as a shepherd:

• A Shepherd who speaks: Discover why God still has a voice today and how He desires an intimate, conversational relationship with His children .

• A Shepherd who gives: Understanding the life of abundance Jesus offers in contrast to the "thief" who seeks to destroy.

• A Shepherd who is present: Learning to trust His rod and staff for comfort, even when walking through the darkest valleys.

• A Shepherd who dies: Reflecting on the radical love of a King who lays down His life to protect His flock from the wolf.

Whether you are currently feasting at the table He prepared for you or you feel lost in the shadows, this message is a powerful reminder that you have a Shepherd who is always looking for you, always speaking to you, and always present in your deepest night.

When we fail, we often expect God to respond with judgment or distance. But what if His response to our faithlessness is actually a deeper, more radical commitment to stay?

In this second message of our "Imprint" series, Jason Durst explores the heart of Jesus through the lens of one profound word: Faithfulness. Drawing from the intense and often uncomfortable story of the prophet Hosea and his marriage to Gomer, we see a vivid picture of God’s relentless pursuit of a people who have repeatedly turned away .

Through the stories of the woman caught in adultery in John 8 and the apostle Peter’s restoration, Jason challenges us to look past our shame and labels . Sharing a raw personal testimony of his own struggle with failure and the "marks of mercy" that followed, he unpacks the beautiful paradox of 2 Timothy 2:13: "If we are faithless, He remains faithful" .

Discover why God's faithfulness isn't a reaction to our performance, but a reflection of His unchanging character. Whether you are running hard after God or feel like you’ve blown it all up, this message is a reminder that you are marked by a love that refuses to let go.

What does it truly mean to be the church? As Grace Guelph celebrates its three-year anniversary, join our leadership team for an open panel discussion reflecting on our identity, our growth, and our future.

In this episode, we move beyond the idea of church as a building or a brand, exploring the high biblical callings of being the "Temple of the Holy Spirit" and the "Body of Christ" in our city . We dive into our core framework, the Kingdom Triangle, discussing how we strive to balance our "Up" relationship with God, our "In" relationship with each other, and our "Out" movement to the world.

While we celebrate our strengths in building a welcoming, authentic family, we also discuss the healthy tension required to grow even deeper in worship and mission. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or are just finding your place on the margins, this is an invitation to join the slow, intentional process of becoming a dwelling place for God's presence.
