Pursuit - May 17th 2026

About this episode

This episode explores the active pursuit of Jesus and the transformative power of faith.

Here’s a podcast episode description based on your sermon notes: In this week’s message at True North Church, we explored what it truly means to pursue Jesus. Using Mark 2:1–12, we looked at the powerful story of the paralytic man lowered through the roof and discovered that pursuit is not passive — it is active, persistent, and fueled by faith. Jesus responds to people who seek Him with confidence, surrender, and expectation. We unpacked how worship is more than singing; it is a lifestyle of pursuit. From Matthew 7:7–8 to the faith of the Roman centurion, this message challenges us to stop pursuing a version of Jesus made in our image and instead surrender to being transformed into His image from glory to glory. If pursuit reveals desire, then the question becomes: what are we truly chasing? This message will encourage you to trust Jesus for who He says He is, pursue Him daily, and believe that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
