Temple Cambridge

One of the many things that I am thankful to God for you is your compassion. I have seen this time and again when we have given you the opportunity to respond to global needs such as in Ukraine or caring for children through sponsoring 41 children in Togo through Compassion Canada or giving 97 gifts last Christmas through Slavic Gospel Association Immanuel’s Star. I believe we are to be compassion...

Happy Thanksgiving! This weekend is a time for faith, family, food, fellowship and football. Thanksgiving is also a time to fight judging one another. Judging one another poisons our fellowship with our family and friends. This is what we will learn from Romans 14:1-12 this Sunday. I hope you have a great weekend and are thankful to God for all that He has given you, especially His Son Jesus.

How can we live out the gospel and God’s commands? Read and study Romans 13:8-14 in your families and small groups. This Sunday we will learn more about how to live out the gospel and God’s commands as a church.

Many of us complain about government, but did you know that God considers government one of His servants? This is what we will find out this Sunday as we study Romans 13:1-7. God has given government to do good and punish the evildoer, but more importantly, teach us to submit to authority because it is sourced in Him. No wonder why God wants us to pray for those in authority, submit to them and pa...

This Sunday we are going to study one of the most practical passages in the Bible. Wondering about what to do about evil? Read Romans and apply 12:9-21. Want to know how to love your fellow Christians? Read Romans 12:9-21. Wondering about how to conduct yourselves at work? Read and apply Romans 12:9-21. Want to know how to respond to tribulation and persecution? Read and apply Romans 12:9-21. How...

What do you think about yourself? Do you think of yourself more highly than you ought to? Maybe you think of yourself more lowly than you ought to? Be honest! One of the ways to think of yourself properly is to realize that everything you have is because of the grace of God. Another way is to use the spiritual gifts that God has given you to build up the body of Christ. Do you know what your spiri...

This Sunday, we are going to focus on heaven and whether you have a reservation there by studying Revelation 20-21. The Gospel will be presented with an invitation to receive Christ and make a reservation in heaven. We look forward to seeing what God will do.

Happy Labour Day weekend! Since much of our life involves using our minds and bodies to work and provide for our families and ourselves, it is appropriate that this Sunday we get the reminder to offer our bodies as living sacrifices and renew our minds in Christ from Romans 12:1-2. These verses are some of the most famous in the Bible and rightfully so. Following these verses will affect most of o...

When you hear the word “Israel” what comes to mind? Stories from the Old Testament? The Holy Land? Maybe the current conflict in the Middle East? Does God still have a plan to save Israel? This is the question we will be tackling on Sunday morning from Romans 11:25-36. Then at night I invite you back at 6 PM when I will be teaching about Israel, Palestine and our Church followed by a Q & A. Ma...

The Apostle Paul in Romans 11:11-24 uses the analogy of the Church as a wild olive branch being grafted into the original olive tree of God’s people - the Jews. We will unpack God’s husbandry of His people on Sunday. My big hope is that you will be even more amazed with what God can do with His people than He can do with trees He created.

Has God rejected His people Israel? This question shows that we put God on a higher standard than we do our fellow humans. History tells us that God’s people rejected Him time and time again despite God’s long-suffering with them. So instead of the question being about why God would put up with such obstinance for so long, the question is still on God and whether He will reject His people? Read an...

God could have written the gospel in the sky, or later in our times, sent us all a text about His love for the world by giving us His Son to die for us. Instead, God tasked us with the responsibility to proclaim Christ to others. This is what we will be learning this holiday weekend as Pastor Jason unpacks Romans 10:5-21. Praying and serving the lost is important and needed but let’s not forget to...

What does it mean that Christ is the end of the law? This is the major question we will be tackling this coming Sunday from Romans 9:30-10:4. It has massive implications for eternity and our everyday life, so come prayed-up and studied-up.

This Sunday we begin a section of Romans 9-11 that may be the most controversial and challenging in the Book of Romans. It has a lot of emotional aspects to it as Paul describes God’s sovereign plan for His people Israel. It takes on greater weight with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Let’s model how we can talk about and maybe even disagree on hot topics but still show Christ's love...

The Apostle Paul declares in Romans 8:37 that because of Christ we are more than conquerors. What does that mean to be more than conqueror? And how does the promise of never being separated from the love of God help us to be more than victorious? Come this Sunday and find out.

This Sunday we welcome back the Ford family from Moldova. They have been our missionaries there for many years and are here for a short visit to take their eldest child to university. Moldova is a difficult place to minister, and God has used the Fords mightily. Daniel will be giving an update on their work as well as be preaching on the glorious passage of Romans 8:18-30. Please come and be ready...

Happy Canada Day weekend! This Sunday, our own Mike Racinsky, will be unpacking the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector found in Luke 18:9-14. Mike is the director of NEXT Gen ministries for FEB Central (our region within the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches) and it is a privilege to have Mike, Sara and their two children as members of Temple.

“Therefore, there is no longer condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” These words kick off what is called “the inner sanctuary within the cathedral of the Christian faith.” They are the beginning words of the grand chapter of Romans 8 that has been a bulwark for so many believers including myself, down through the centuries. We will be specifically looking at Romans 8:1-17 and the amazin...

Happy Father's Day! Do you ever not do the good you want to do? If so, you are in good company with one of the greatest Christians to ever live - the Apostle Paul. Paul gets very transparent in Romans 7:7-25 with his internal conflict of wanting to live for God, but not always measuring up. This is what we are going to learn this week as the newly ordained Rev. Kyle Rhora will be unpacking the...

Have you ever been under probation? Maybe you had to wait for 3 months working at your new job and then finally you were released from certain restrictions. It is freeing, and you receive new benefits! The rules can still be helpful, but they no longer govern us. In a similar way, God’s plan was to put restrictions on us humans during the probationary period under the Mosaic Law, so we wouldn’t hu...

What are you enslaved to? Did you realize that we can be either enslaved to righteousness or unrighteousness? What does it look like and more importantly, what are the implications for our lives? Lord willing, we will tackle those questions this week as we finish Romans 6. May being Christ’s slave be liberating to you!

Twenty-nine years ago this Sunday, I had the great honour of marrying Lori Henry from Medicine Lodge, Kansas. She is my wife, my best friend, my only lover, the mother of my children, grandmother of my grandchildren and primary ministry partner. I have many names for her: “Babe,” “Lori Lou” (it’s her Kansas name where many women go by two names), and “Honey.” What I don’t call her is “Ball and Cha...

Happy Victoria Day weekend! The unofficial start of summer. Some of you take the weekend to weather the cold and go camping, while others of you are planting your flowers and vegetables as we are now supposed to be in the frost-free zone. For those of you who are not away, I would encourage you to come to worship with us and hear Pastor Kyle teach us from Romans 6:1-4 on how we are united with Chr...

Happy Mother's Day! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel guilty as a parent for the weaknesses and sins that I have seemed to pass along to my children. This week we are going to find a lot of comfort from Romans 5:12-21 that Christ is more powerful than our parental sin. He can make a generational change to us and our future family! His grace is greater than our sin whether we have ki...

God’s timing is perfect. It may not always feel this way, but may I encourage you with a gospel verse? This Sunday, we are going to study Romans 5:6-11. These verses are pregnant with spiritual life. Paul starts out reminding us that while we were weak, this weakness is not about physical strength, but moral strength. You could paraphrase, while we were morally disabled, just at the right time, Ch...
