How do you retain your most important relationships? This is especially true when there are so many temptations to avoid and hostilities to overcome in the world. This week we are going to learn how God retains His relationship with us. He is calling out His remnant and removing our idols. It is also our Communion Sunday. We hope to make the Lord’s Supper a richer encounter with the Lord, but this...

One of my wife’s favourite hobbies is to restore old furniture. She loves taking what somebody considers rubbish and restoring it to its former glory or better. She will strip off the paint or varnish, sand it down and then apply a new stain or paint. It is so redemptive. It is a picture of what God does with us and will do with the nations. This is what we will learn this week from Micah 4:8-13....

A few weeks ago, we said good-bye to our beloved Queen and sister-in-Christ Elizabeth. It was a huge answer to prayer to see the gospel clearly presented at her funeral. Though the formal mourning for our Queen is over, there is a still time for grief before we celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. Can you imagine if nobody showed up to King Charle’s coronation? No way! The coronation of K...

What is your favourite movie? One of my favourites is The Return of the King! I love when Aragorn comes to fight and reclaim the Kingdom of Gondor when all seemed lost. Maybe today you feel all is lost? It isn’t! The King is Coming! Jesus will come and end all war. As Pastor Jason Elliotson will unpack Micah 4:15, swords will be no longer needed. They will be turned into plowshares. Only King Jesu...

This weekend is one of the highlights of our year. It is our Global Outreach (GO) weekend where we seek God to expand our hearts for His work around the world. The theme this year is HOPE - Christ for a world in crisis! Our long-time missionaries John & Jackie Taylor will be with us to speak. John is now the President of ABWE Canada. The kids will be having a missions emphasis today. Plan to c...

Do you need a breakthrough? Maybe a financial breakthrough from debt and worry? Maybe a relational breakthrough from an estranged loved one? Maybe a breakthrough from a delimitating disease? Maybe you need a breakthrough from a stubborn habit? Meet the One who breaks through - the Lord God! This is what we learn from Micah 2:12-13! And don’t forget to join us at 9 am for the kickoff class of our F...

What is wrong with wanting things? Nothing, unless we are coveting other people’s stuff. This could be as simple as looking at reels on Social Media for ideas to fix up our homes or wardrobes. Or maybe it could be looking at a flyer and discover something that we didn’t know we “needed.” In the prophet Micah’s day, people “cancelled" prophets who were all doom and gloom. The problem with the “posi...

Everything you and I have comes from God. This is hard to remember at times because a lot of our life is spent working and therefore, we think that we have earned what we have. However, God gives us the very breath and strength to work. So what are you doing with what God has given you? This question is always relevant, but it feels like it has a sense of urgency with our high inflation, high inte...

Do you remember where you were when 9/11 happened? For those of us who were alive, it is one of those days imprinted on our brains because of the shocking tragedy. (I know some of you were not alive 21 years ago, but the world you experience now has been a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. This is most evident when go to the airport and experience extra security measures.) I vividly recall...

Happy Labour Day Weekend! For many, it is one last taste of summer before the crazy busyness of fall kicks in. Did you have a good summer? What were the highlights? Please email info@templebaptistchurch.ca and let me know some your highlights. Maybe you are carrying around some injustices from the summer? God has been watching and wants to make those right! This is the message we will learn as we...

I have to confess something to you and I know some of you will think less of me! I am afraid of heights! However, others in my family have no such fear and so on occasion, as a dad, I have had to try to overcome that fear so that a fearless child of mine can go on a roller coaster with age and height requirements. One occasion I had to overcome my fear of heights was when most of our family went z...

Wayne Baxter - Jude 1:17-23

How often do you think about the coming judgment? If you are a believer, you have nothing to fear (Romans 8:1). It will be a reward ceremony for you (2 Corinthians 5:10). It will better than any Olympic medal podium ceremony or a Nobel Peace Prize ceremony when we stand before God. (I find it personally mind-blowing that God saves us by His grace after we have rebelled against Him, we then live li...

Do you think we learn more from good examples or bad examples? It would be an interesting survey. I would guess that most of us learn more from bad examples than good examples because we would dismiss the good examples as setting a standard that we could not achieve or we learn that those “good examples” often have done some bad things. As they say, “Don’t meet your heroes, you will only be disapp...

Jude 1-4

A study in the book of JOB.

Job 40:1-5

Do you ever have control issues? You try your best to control your life! I have found that when I try to control my life, it seems it gets more out of control. And then I wonder if God is in control, especially when I look around and see so much chaos around the world. Job has the same thoughts at times as we have journeyed with him through his story of suffering. God has pretty much stayed silent...

This service we learn from Job 32-37 how to respond to those who think they are self-righteous.

How do you live righteously in the midst of suffering? All of us have been given this gift these past few years. How have we done? Did we live righteously before God or did we turn to lesser comforts and escapes? Living righteously in the midst of suffering is a gift because it gets to showcase the transforming work of God in our lives. Job lived righteously in the midst of suffering. In Job 31, h...

Faith in a Good Father... Pastor Kyle teaches on Job 29-30.

January 2020 seems like ages ago, but that is when I was able to visit on your behalf a Compassion Centre in Togo, West Africa. I was super-impressed with how Compassion partners with local churches to help alleviate poverty in Jesus name. They do so through education, food and most of all, teaching the Bible. This Sunday we are privileged to have Jay Calder come and minister to us in both word an...
