Lifetree Community ChurchPalm SundayThis week at Lifetree, we reflected on Palm Sunday and Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. So many people were not sure what was going on, and the one question everyone was asking was "Who is this?!!" The crowd had an incomplete understanding of who Jesus truly was. They knew what they had heard about Him, but most did not know Him personally. So, the pressing question is do you have a complete understanding of Jesus?2025-04-1540 min

Lifetree Community ChurchEaster Sunday at LifetreeThere’s so much to the story of Jesus's death and resurrection, and yesterday we focused on just one part - specifically on what the people were shouting while Jesus was on the Cross: “You saved others but You can’t even save Yourself.” They just left out one word. Let’s fix it for them: “You CHOSE to save others, but You CHOSE not to even save Yourself.”Jesus made a choice. He did not have to do this. He chose to. The choice of the cross was so brutal and senseless that the only possible reason was love. The mess...2023-04-0935 minLifetree Community ChurchGuest Speaker: Pastor Otto WegnerThis week at Lifetree, Pastor Otto Wegner shared about the importance of prayer.

Who is God calling you to minister to in your current season of life? No matter what stage of life you are in, there is someone you can be a light to.

Jesus’ first mention of the church states that “the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” This statement describes God's mission as offensively confronting the powers of decay and darkness in this world, and indicates that engagement in a piece of that mission is an essential ingredient to being the “church”. We have been commissioned with the task of, as salt and light, advancing His kingdom in the earth. Simply put our mission is to fix broken things and light up dark places.By looking a...2021-08-0831 minLifetree Sermon of the WeekThe Value Of Honour1 Samuel 2 & 3Honour is commanded all through scripture. There’s a hierarchy included as well, affirming who and what should be honoured. Honour is akin to glory and it’s a powerful form of currency in the kingdom of God. Anything we honour is determined to be ‘worthy’ of value. But that ‘worthiness’ is not predicated on my view or yours, it’s a valuation which God has ordained. So, whether it’s God, parents, spouse or government leaders – honour is due because that’s how God has determined it should be. The Bible rarely gives us a midd...2021-08-0145 minLifetree Sermon of the WeekEssential Ingredients: CommunityJohn 13:34-35Apart from a dynamic expression of community, where people experience a deep sense of belonging, the church is not what Jesus intends for it to be.One of the deepest core longings of all people is to simply be known and loved for who they are. We desire a sense of belonging. Much of the world suffers from an acute sense of loneliness and a seemingly visceral division seems to plague our society.

While singing greatly helps us enter into true worship, it is in itself not worship. Worship is the surrender of ourselves to Jesus as active Lord of our lives in response to encountering the magnitude of His love and goodness toward us. There is no true expression of church unless there is a group of people sincerely seeking to follow Jesus as Lord.

We make something simple unnecessarily complex. Like unnecessary ingredients will dilute the flavour of a sauce, unnecessary ingredients in church can diminish the Jesus flavour. Identifying and focusing on the irreducible minimums/essential ingredients that make up church helps refine and strengthen effectiveness/potency of our churches. A helpful summary of these are Worship, Community, & Mission.

Feelings of hopelessness and insignificance, or simply avoidance of pain, can cause us to live with guarded hearts. Jesus calls us to live exposed and vulnerable to the needs of others. To let it affect us. The world's biggest problem was addressed by God clothing Himself with humanity, entering into our mess with us, and identifying so deeply with our sin that “He became sin”.

Through a wilderness season God is raising up a “hear & obey” people, who will venture into the ministry dreams He has for our city and beyond. In Deuteronomy 30 we see how following Him depends very little on an ability to understand mysterious commands and far more to do with the condition of our hearts. With past comforts and familiarity gone, we either unravel or learn to love, obey, and cling to the Him, recognizing that He is the true source of life itself.How have y...2021-04-2526 minLifetree Sermon of the WeekWilderness On PurposeCaleb Friesen shares some reflections on where God has us. We're in a season reminiscent of Israel's wilderness season. Our past ways of life and church feel like ancient history, and the way of our future is not totally clear. Through Moses’ words in Deuteronomy 8, we can see how God uses seasons like this to develop in us characteristics needed to walk in His promises without the pride, that often accompanies success, destroying us. We see that God actually orchestrates much of the unfamiliar and uncomfortable to produce in us humility, dependence, gratitude, a 'hear and follow’ heart, and ultimat...2021-04-1829 minLifetree Sermon of the WeekChrysalis SeasonBruce Friesen speaks on hearing God for this present season. In Matthew 16 Jesus shows that a compromised heart disables our ability to spiritually discern times and seasons. Bruce openly shares how God graciously turned him from feeding on the wrong voices during this pandemic and back to feeding on what God’s written word and Spirit are saying in this season.In prayer he began to sense God speaking to him about what’s happening to the church right now through the image of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly; that there is a chrysalis season upon us i...2021-04-1134 minLifetree Sermon of the WeekAfter God's HeartKelly Steeper encourages us from the life of David who was called a man after God’s heart. Despite his many failures he continued to turn back to God and return to habits he built up in his time as a young shepherd. He made time for God. He was about God’s Glory.

God is not afraid of our feelings. Pouring out the authentic expression of our soul is the context for authentic encounter with God. In Psalm 42 we see how overcoming depression and despair involve choosing hope in God and worship, without needing to deny dark feelings. Being well acquainted with Jesus and saturated in the gospel provide stability in storms, a fountain of hope that never runs dry, and reason to worship in any season of life.----------------Lifetree Church is a family all about dec...2021-02-0740 minLifetree Sermon of the WeekChoose WorshipCharlotte Edwardson talks about engaging in worship. Worship and intimate relationship with the Father is what we were made for, so the enemy will pull out every trick and tool he has to try to stop us from worshipping. When we make the choice to attribute the highest value to our Father, in every situation, we begin to enter into living a life that is marked by worship. The more we choose worship, the more we experience and understand the truth of who God is, the more in love with Jesus we fall, and the more natural it becomes...2021-01-1753 min
