Trinity Community ChurchDiscipleship Matters - Follow MeIn Discipleship Matters, Tyler Lynde continues with Follow Me by naming a reality we all feel: crisis isn’t an if but a when. The answer isn’t panic; it’s formation. Tyler frames the year with a simple conviction—sharpened Christians are best equipped for crisis—and then walks us through Jesus’ four-stage path of discipleship: come and see, follow me, be with me, go for me. He highlights the hinge, “Follow me,” where spectators become imitators who carry Jesus’ heart into everyday places that need it most.Drawing from Matthew 4:18–22, Tyler shows how Jesus’ invitation is an invitation to im...

Trinity Community ChurchExpecting - See GodIn See God, part of the Expecting series, Tyler Lynde walks slowly through Luke 2:8–20 and invites you to recover a fresh vision of Jesus.

Into that routine, a burst of glory breaks through. Tyler reflects on the awe the shepherds felt, the kind of healthy fear that is not dread but reverence—the doorway to deep joy.Tyler unpacks why the angel announces three titles...

Trinity Community ChurchExpecting - Feel GodIn the Christmas series Expecting, Tyler Lynde shares a message titled “Feel God,” inviting you to move beyond getting through songs and into a real encounter with God that changes what you carry.

Her second feeling is uncertainty—How will this be?—met by a pr...

Trinity Community ChurchIn Christ - IntroductionIn Introduction, the first message of the In Christ series, Tyler Lynde opens Ephesians with a clear aim: before we talk about what followers of Jesus should do, we need to know who we already are. Working through Ephesians 1:1–2, Tyler shows how Paul begins not with commands but with identity—rooted in the finished work of Jesus. Many of us readily affirm that Christ is in us through the Holy Spirit, but Tyler highlights the equally essential truth that we are in Christ. These two realities form the early church’s vision of “union with Christ.” Christ in us is like th...

Trinity Community ChurchThe God Of GenerationsWhat does it look like to build a faith that outlasts you?

Trinity Community ChurchRed Letters - The Golden RoadIn this week's sermon in our "Red Letters" series, Pastor Tyler Lynde brings us to Jesus’ stark finale in the Sermon on the Mount: two gates, two roads, two ends. Tyler begins with the Golden Rule, not as polite restraint but as proactive love that mirrors the Father’s generosity and fulfills the law from the heart. Then he follows Jesus into the decisive choice. The wide gate and easy road feel natural because self sits at the center, yet they end in ruin and, ultimately, separation from God. The narrow gate and hard road demand repentance, daily cross-bearing, and...

Trinity Community ChurchRed Letters - A Heart To Help Those In NeedWhy do we give? Is it the warm feeling when friends applaud, or the thrill of an online shout-out? In Matthew 6:1-4, Jesus drills past the act of giving to expose its motive, and Pastor Tyler Lynde invites us to do the same.Jesus starts with a warning: if our charity aims at human approval, we should enjoy the “likes” quickly, because that applause is the full payout. Tyler explains how first-century Pharisees literally hired trumpeters to announce almsgiving. Today’s versions are subtler—photo ops, branded T-shirts, humble-brag posts—but the heart pattern is identical.Then c...
