The Cambridge Vineyard Podcast

     As we step into 2025, we stand at the threshold of a new season—a season of light. Advent has drawn to a close, but the light of Christ continues to shine, and we are invited to carry that light with us into every moment of the year ahead. In this message, we reflect on what it means to walk in the light, to see clearly in the midst of uncertainty, and to step forward in faith rather than fea...

   As we arrive at the fourth Sunday of Advent, we turn our focus to love—the foundation of everything. W explore the profound truth that what we think about God shapes our expectations and opens the door to encounter His true nature. Through prayer, scripture, and reflection, I invite you to consider how God’s love surpasses the limitations of earthly love. His love is unconditional, unchanging,...

This week, we celebrate the third Sunday of Advent and turn our hearts toward joy. Joy is more than fleeting happiness; it’s an eternal gift rooted in the very character of God. Scripture reminds us that in His presence is the fullness of joy, and this joy is tied to His love and salvation. We explore how joy springs from abiding in His love and standing on the rock of our salvation. Joy isn’t dep...

As we step into the second week of Advent, we explore how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, brings comfort, hope, and peace to our hearts and minds. We dive into passages from Isaiah 40 and Isaiah 26, discovering that a steadfast mind, anchored in trust, leads to perfect peace. This is an invitation to let go of the lies that hold us back, lean into the lovingkindness of God, and allow His truth to brin...

Hey friends, Last Sunday, we spoke about the power of community & belonging. I got up here thinking my message was just “meh.” You know, one of those times where you feel like you just muddled through. But then the texts started coming in, and I’m asked to lean into it more, to explore this place that God seems to be highlighting. And let me tell you, that sent me into a bit of a spiral. It fe...

During our November "Of Love & Devotion Service" We welcomed David Ruis, National Director of Vineyard Canada.

The Presence of the Lord - Journey Into Holiness   In this week's message, we summarized our journey into how humanity's relationship with God unraveled due to sin, starting with Adam and Eve’s disobedience. Their fall introduced a transactional relationship with God, where they were separated from His presence and the foundation of sin was laid. From the lives of Cain and Abel, to the s...

Today, we explored the transformative power of Thanksgiving in our lives as believers. More than just a response to blessings, Thanksgiving is a spiritual tool that opens the door to God's presence, bringing peace, joy, and renewal to our souls. Reflecting on Psalm 42 , we considered how, like a deer thirsts for water, our souls long for God. Thanksgiving draws us deeper into His presence, sh...

Ever wonder what we do in Brazil exactly? We’re excited to tell you about our work in João Pessoa, Brazil with Hope Ministries today.

Always Remember…You Are God’s Beloved My final Sunday as your pastor has now arrived. If there was one word or emotion that is predominant among the myriad of other emotions that I’m feeling, it would be gratitude. First and foremost, April and I are so thankful to have been blessed with an amazing faith community. You have loved us and cared for us extremely well. You also love God with a very de...

Part 3 - AS YOU CONTINUE ON IN YOUR JOURNEY… EMBRACE LOVE How you begin will determine how you will finish. That axiom can be applied to many things in life, from laying flooring, to shingling, or attaching siding to a house. If I don’t install those first few pieces bang on, it will affect the rest of the project. The same is true in my faith journey. When I get the first piece right, the rest wi...

Jen and Phil Snell speak about their unexpected invitation to deliver this Sunday teaching, emphasizing the importance of trusting, listening, and obeying God's voice.

Phil & Jen stress the need for a personal, active faith and encourage us (the church) to trust God&a...

It's been said that the only guarantees in life are death and taxes.  An argument can be made that change should also be added to the list.  Life is full of changes - some exciting, some scary.  We'll continue to take a look at the life of King David to see what we can learn about embracing change and aligning ourselves with the plans God has for our lives. We would love to hear your sto...

As You Continue on in Your Journey... Embrace Mystery! “My how time flies” is a common saying, but is it ever true! Over twenty-two years ago, April and I said ‘yes’ to my joining the pastoral team at the Cambridge Vineyard, and as I look back I am amazed how God has shown himself as faithful, provider, friend, and lover of my soul! As I begin the transition to step away as pastor, there are some...

(Part 2) Knowing The Spirit of Truth Treasuring the gift of the Holy Spirit involves investing our time and attention in getting to know Him: the nearness of His presence, the quietness of His voice, the tenderness of His heart, and the fierceness of His passion.
