Trinity Streetsville

Elizabeth talks to Jordan, Jesse, and Jessica about Christmas and relational gift-giving.

How exactly do you give more while also spending less? The answer is to give more relationally. Giving more isn’t about giving more toys, more gadgets, more clothes, more gift cards, or more stuff. Instead of giving PRESENTS, we give more PRESENCE! The best gift is to give more of yourself to others. The incarnation of Jesus shows us, in very practical terms, what it means to give relationally.

In this episode, Elizabeth has the privilege and pleasure of talking with Greg Holder, co-founder of the Advent Conspiracy. He opens up on the origin of the movement and shares how the Advent Conspiracy works. He also tells us about the importance of each of the tenets, and what his prayer is for the 'watching world' this Christmas. You don't want to miss this conversation.

Christmas is a season more: more food, more gifts, more bills, more debt! Is excessive spending really the best way to Celebrate Jesus' birthday? This Sunday we explore how can we be thoughtful and prayerful about the gifts we give and the purchases we make. After all, by spending less on ourselves we can more joyfully give to those in need.

This week on Trinity Talks, Elizabeth is joined by Jen, Lynne, and Mike as we see Trinity's biggest outreach opportunities this Christmas. Join us in making a difference for those who need it most!

At Christmas it feels like our calendars are too full, our to-do lists are too long, the stores are too busy, and the stress is too high. How do we get back to the heart of Christmas? The answer is WORSHIP. Each year Advent gives us an opportunity to worship the miracle of Christ’s coming.

Rob and Erikan join Elizabeth in this Sermon Series Wrap Up. Together they look back over the recent sermon series Livin the Dream (Genesis 37-50) and make connections about Joseph's life and Jesus's mission. This episode was recorded live on November 26 2023

It's hard to believe, but Joseph's tumultuous life story has a happy ending as Joseph is reunited and reconciled with his estranged family. Isn't that a dream we all have? To mend broken bridges and heal divisions? Reconciliation is a dream we all long for in some way or another. This Sunday's preacher, Justin Stratis, wraps up our "Livin' the Dream" teaching series by showing how Joseph's lifelong dream finally comes true.

Elizabeth is joined by LIFE Group members Heidi, Bill, and Jenn as they discuss dream jobs, life calling, God's plan, and what it means to be a minister in our daily lives. Based on the November 19, 2023 sermon as we follow the story of Joseph.

We can all imagine some “dream job” that we’d love to have. But is our dream job merely a job that fulfills OUR dreams? Or is it a job that furthers GOD’s dream? This Sunday we’ll learn from Joseph how our jobs can be a DREAM jobs when we use them for God’s purposes.
