    July 12th, 2026 | Come On, Mess Me Up! | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    Has God intruded in your life? In this part of Jacobs life, we see God intrude on Jacob's life in a very physical way. It's a bit of a strange story, as many stories in the Bible often are, but it is a story where God literally grabs hold of Jacob and forces him to pay attention. If you're wondering whether or not God is grabbing a hold of you, pay attention to your own thought patterns. Check yourself and see if you're suddenly not as interested in others opinions of you. See if you have become more generous with your money and less fearful. See if you've begun to lose even a tiny bit of interest in an addiction that was once so consuming. Those are signs you've met God. Those are signs that He is "messing you up" in the best possible way and is calling you to Himself. You don't have to clean yourself up to meet with God, you just have to be willing.

    July 26th, 2026 | The Journey Home | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    After the disasterous consequences of Jacob's disobedience to God, we read on to find that Jacob does not hear God's voice of judgement or condemnation. Instead, he hears an invitation to come home to Bethel. We see yet another example of how God's grace and His commitment to His promises will be the deciding factor in the next chapters of Jacob's life. Not Jacob's acts of repentence, not his attempts to "clean himself up". But simply and unbelievably, God's grace. Most of us will not commit sins so grievous that it causes the murder of an entire village. But all of us commit sins that, without God's grace, will block us from ever being to stand before a Holy God and be called righteous. Despite Jacob's sins, despite ours, we are forgiven in Christ by our ever loving and trustworthy Father in Heaven.

    July 19th, 2026 | The Sins Of The Father | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    Despite Jacob's profound encounters with the Living God, he continued to fall into deep and destructive patterns of sin. His inability to face his problems head on, combined with his compulsion to manipulate and lie, left it's mark on a whole new generation of children. Because of Jacob's inability to act on behalf of his violated and abused daughter, his enemy was forced to make a hasty peace treaty which did not stand up to the fury of his deceptive and violent sons. The warning in this story is clear. When we do not honestly and earnestly deal with our own sin patterns - be it those of deception, those of apathy, those of gossip or those of jealousy - it will always affect the ones we love. We must always be taking our weaknesses to God and laying them at His feet, asking for the help of the Holy Spirit to equip us to do better. As He did with Jacob, God uses our lives as an example to others. The question is whether our lives point people toward faithful obedience or serve as a warning of the damage that unchecked sin can do.

    July 5th, 2026 | The Best Day Ever! | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    What's actually happening when we go to church? Are we all just following tradition? Being compelled to do it by guilt or obligation? Or is there something more at work? God brings us into corporate worship for a reason. It's to give us a taste of home - not our earthly home, but the one He's created for us to be in. This week we explore Psalm 84 and what it means to worship as a church family and why God calls us to gather together.

    June 28th, 2026 | Wavering Faith | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    It's tempting to believe that if God appeared physically in front of us right now, our belief and faith in Him would be forever solidified. In Genesis 32, we see angels literally appear in front of Jacob's very eyes (32:1) and yet just a few verses later we see him hedging his bets. He attempts to re-arrange a stressful situation "just in case" God doesn't show up. God's angels appeared physically in front of him and he still didn't believe, at least not for very long. Even though Jacob could see countless ways that God had showed up for him in the past and he'd heard Gods promise to him (Gen 32:9), Jacobs fear overtook his faith and he tried to take control. This is an all too familiar scene for most of us no matter how long we have been believers for. It is a relief to know that our neither our fearful ways or wavering faith will deter God from fulfilling His promise that He would be with us to the very end (Mat 28:20). It is in His grace that we rest and it is in His grace that we can face any troubles that may arise, no matter what.

    Even though Jacob had all the material possessions he needed, his time with Rebecca, Leah and their father Laban was frought with tension, emotional abuse and constant strife. God called Jacob and his family out of Paddan Aram, but it wasn't an easy call to follow, especially for Rebecca and Leah. Sometimes the "devil you know" is better than whatever the unknown future may be. But God was with Jacob, despite Jacobs own moral failures. It is comforting to know that He is with us too, despite ourselves, because God is the same today as He was back when Jacob lived (Heb. 13:8). In this story, we also get a peek into what life was like for Rebecca and Leah as they did not grow up with the faith that Jacob was raised with. Biblical accounts like these point us to a faithful God who orchestrates every human action and intention - from animal husbandry to stolen idols - for the good of His people and the glory of His name.

    June 14th, 2026| The Schemer's Payday | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    Jacob spent years believing that blessing came through his own schemes. Yet again and again, God showed him that it was never his plans that secured the future, it was God’s providence. Maybe today you feel small, unseen, or insignificant. Maybe you wonder if your life really matters. But the God who governs every detail of history is the same God who knit you together in your mother’s womb. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. You are not outside His care. The story of Jacob reminds us that God’s purposes are never dependent on our strength, success, or ability to figure life out.

    June 7th , 2026 | The War Of The Wives | Grace Valley Church, Dundas, Ontario

    Over the last number of weeks we've been diving into God's Dysfuntional Family through the book of Genesis. And we can see one thing for sure. God's grace does not depend on our good behaviour in any way. We've seen countless examples of bad, even despicable behaviour, but God is still weaving His goodness throughout it all. In this section of Genesis, we come across another wild story of people doing crazy things to get what they want. It's not that the things they want are wrong. It's natural and good to want to be loved, to have children and to have security. But it's what they do to get it that is the problem. It is important to remember that in our suffering, there is never a license to sin. And yet as we see, Rachel and Leah have a long, ugly battle that poisons their lives and leaves everyone miserable in the end, despite all of their scheming. But God's plan is still unfolding. He's still working through these flawed women and their flawed husband Jacob. Unbenknownst to them, one of their sons will be a forefather of Jesus Christ. We are fortunate to be able to look back at this story and see how God's grace to His fallen people has a reason and a purpose. Let that give us hope for how He is working in our own lives today so that we never forget that no matter what we do, it all depends on God's grace in the end.
