Welcome to the Pathway Church Podcast: fresh sermon messages uploaded weekly. We are a bible-based church located in Peterborough, Ontario. Our mission: to reach people far from God and see them become devoted followers of Jesus.
Peterborough, ON
Join us for “Spring Cleaning for the Soul,” a powerful message from Pastor Todd on the freedom of forgiveness and spiritual renewal. In this sermon, Pastor Todd explores how to clear out the clutter of bitterness, anger, and past hurts—and make room for God's grace to transform our hearts.
In this from our Youth Takeover service, guest speaker Tim Payne explores “Identity Theft,” exposing the lies the world, our hearts, and the devil use to steal who we truly are. Drawing on powerful stories from Matthew, he shows how Jesus unmasks deception and restores our identity. Watch now to discover how you can shed the masks and embrace your God-given self.
In this message, Tim Coles guides us through Ephesians chapter 6, showing how the armour of God reveals seven spiritual habits that protect us in the unseen battle. Drawing on biblical examples and personal stories, he offers practical steps for integrating each habit into our daily walk. Discover how cultivating these disciplines empowers you to stand firm in Christ's victory over temptation and doubt.
In this message, Pastor Nathan tackles the reality of disagreement in the church and how we can walk through it with humility, wisdom, and love. He reminds us that while differences are inevitable, our unity is rooted in Christ — and how we handle our disagreements matters just as much as what we believe. Listen to When Christians Disagree to be encouraged and challenged.
On Easter Sunday, Pastor Nathan takes us beyond the empty tomb to the road to Emmaus, where two disciples unknowingly walk alongside the risen Jesus. In this powerful message, we're reminded that even in our doubt, disappointment, or distraction, Jesus meets us on the journey. Through Scripture, he reveals who he truly is—and when our eyes are opened, everything changes. Discover how the resurrection isn't just something to believe in, but someone to walk with.
On Good Friday, Pastor Nathan helps us see the cross not just as a symbol, but as the center of God's story. Through Scripture and song, we're reminded that Jesus willingly took our place, paying the debt of sin and offering mercy instead of judgment. This message invites us to reflect deeply on the cost of grace—and the love that held Jesus there.
What happens when we celebrate Jesus for who we want Him to be, instead of who He truly is? This message challenges us to consider whether we've embraced a “knock-off” Savior—one shaped by our preferences rather than Scripture. As we reflect on the signs of a counterfeit faith and the fears that keep us from full surrender, we're invited to rediscover the true Jesus. Rooted in the compassionate grace revealed in Exodus 34, this message calls us to trust Him fully and worship Him authentically.
In this sermon from the "Revive Us" series, Pastor Nathan connects physical hunger with our deep spiritual need for God. Using biblical narratives and practical examples, he challenges us to nurture our spiritual hunger through prayer, fasting, and active community engagement.
Are you ready for revival? In this kickoff to our Revive Us series, we dive into 2 Chronicles 7:14 and what it takes for God to reignite our faith. When we remove the limits of pride, unbelief, misplaced priorities, and sin, revival can spread like fire. Join us as we pray, "Revive us!"
Baptism is more than a symbolic act—it's a step of faith, obedience, and transformation. In this message, Pastor Nathan unpacks its biblical significance through Acts 22, showing how it marks conversion, cleansing, and a transition into new life. With engaging insights and real-life examples, he challenges believers to stop hesitating and take their next step. If you've been wrestling with a decision to follow Jesus more fully, this message is for you!
Many people desire to make a big impact in the world, but true change happens through personal, costly acts of love. While it's easy to care in theory, Jesus calls us to love in action—seeing, serving, and sacrificing for those right in front of us, even when it's inconvenient.Recorded On: March 9, 2025
What happens when Jesus is in the house? In this powerful message from Mark 2:1-12, Pastor Nathan unpacks the story of a packed house, four determined friends, and a life-changing encounter with Jesus. When Jesus shows up, people gather, things get messy, hearts are revealed, critics emerge—but most importantly, lives are transformed. Whether in our homes, our churches, or our hearts, inviting Jesus in changes everything. Join us as we explore what it truly means to have Jesus in the house!
Too often, the church is known for what it's against rather than what it stands for. At Pathway Church, we believe God has placed us in Peterborough to serve, love, and make a difference in our community. Originally delivered in October 2019, this message challenges us to embrace what it truly means to be ForPTBO—actively bringing hope, kindness, and the love of Jesus to those around us.
This episode features a message from Pastor Nathan, originally shared in September 2019, titled Family Matters. In this sermon, we're reminded of the importance of seeking God's voice in Scripture rather than simply looking for what aligns with our own views. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or revisiting it, we pray this message encourages and challenges you in your faith journey.
This is a milestone moment for Pathway Church—our final Sunday at Rhema Christian School before moving to our new home! In Part 2 of our "Remember When" series, Andrew Friesen takes us on a journey of flashbacks, reflecting on God's incredible faithfulness over the past 14+ years. As we look back, we also set our sights forward—trusting that God is not done yet.
As we prepare to leave Rhema Christian School and step into our new home on Wallace Point Road, we take a moment to look back and remember God's faithfulness. From the very beginning, He has provided, guided, and shaped our church. The same God who was faithful then is faithful now—leading us forward with trust and expectation.
In the final message of our Finding Jesus series, Pastor Nathan unpacks a powerful truth: God works through broken, imperfect people to accomplish His purposes. Through personal stories and scripture from 2 Corinthians 4, we see how God places His treasure in “jars of clay” – ordinary, flawed individuals – so that His power is made known.
Stories have the power to connect, inspire, and reveal truth in ways that facts alone cannot. In this message, we explore how faith is often sparked by hearing the stories of others and how God uses testimonies to point people to Jesus. Drawing from Romans 10:14-17, this sermon highlights the importance of sharing our faith and recognizing how God is at work in our own lives. Watch now to be encouraged and challenged to share your story and help others find Jesus.
This week, we continue our series, Finding Jesus, by exploring how the entire Bible points to Him. Pastor Nathan shows us how Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets, and how we can see Him on every page of Scripture. Discover how finding Jesus changes everything.
Jesus is not just a figure in the Bible; He is its central character and ultimate purpose. Together, we will explore how Jesus is present throughout the Old Testament—prophesied, foreshadowed, revealed, and promised. Through Him, we unlock the meaning and significance of these ancient texts. Join us as we discover Jesus on every page.
