This Sunday we will be studying Exodus 21:1-23:9 and reading some of the laws that God established. To our modern and western ears, some of them are going to sound crazy. Could you please do me a favour? Start with the premise that God is good and acts for our good and then try to study and read these laws. For each law given, ask the question why would a good God put this law in His holy word? 

Happy Canada Day! There is something greater that ties us believers together than cheering for Canada or nationalistic pride - the Lord Jesus Christ! It is Jesus and Him tying us together as a church that will be the focus this Sunday from 1 Timothy 4:14-16 as we continue our sermon mini-series entitled F.I.T. (Faithful Involved Tied). Jesus saved us to be a church that affirms our spiritual gifts...

Happy Father's Day! This Sunday we begin a new two-week series entitled F.I.T. from 1 Timothy 4. We will get back to the Book of Exodus in July, but before you go on vacation, I want to you thinking staying F.I.T. this summer. F.I.T. stands for Faithful, Involved and Tied. As we have been journeying with the Israelites through the wilderness, we need to learn how to stay F.I.T. in times when w...

This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Strickland, the Church Vitality Director for FEBCentral (the Fellowship region of Ontario and English-speaking Quebec), will be preaching on John 4 and what it means to be a church of enduring vitality.

If you were making a covenant with another person you loved, what would words would you say to them? God made a covenant with His People and gave 10 Words (aka The 10 Commandments). Do you know the 10 Commandments? Are you living them? How does this relate to the gospel of Christ? This Sunday we will be studying Exodus 20 and trying to answer these questions.

This weekend we are hosting Sean McDowell, a leading apologist, in helping us engage culture with the gospel of Christ during our Chesterton Talks. It starts Friday evening, continues on Saturday morning and Dr. McDowell will also be preaching on Sunday from Acts 17 on how to share our faith. Please take advantage of this world-class training on how to be salt and light with the gospel.

This Sunday Pastor Steve Limmer will teach us about going to the mountain of God from Exodus 19. May we all have an encounter with God this weekend!

Happy Victoria Day weekend! I know many of you aren’t thinking about Queen Victoria this weekend. She is long gone, having died 125 years ago in 1901. FUN FACT: We observe her birthday of May 24, 1819 and not her death of January 22, 1901. Instead of thinking about Queen Victoria, our minds are often focused on camping, gardening, and grilling. However, permit me to draw your attention to Queen Vi...

Happy Mother's Day! One thing I have learned being a parent for 25 years now is that parents need parental advice. I need parental advice from those who have gone before me, especially my parents and my in-laws. This Sunday we will learn from Exodus 18 that one of the greatest spiritual leaders in history needed advice from his father-in-law. In the midst of honouring your mother, try seeking ...

The ancient Israelites longed for water when they camped at Rephidim in the Sinai, but they found none. What happened next? Check out Exodus 17:1-7 to see how God showed up in their lives. And if God showed up in His people’s lives, how might He show up in our lives, especially when we are in great need?

This week we will be looking at Exodus 16 about how God provided bread and meat from heaven just after the Israelites passed through the waters of the Red Sea. It fits perfectly because in John 6, Jesus describes Himself as the Bread of Life. Come ready to praise the Lord!

Just imagine that after 400 years, you, your family and your nation, has been freed from slavery. You start your journey and God shows up leading you in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. But God leads you down south rather than the road to the Promised Land. You are now camped by the Red Sea. But the Egyptians decided they want you back as their slave. So, they are coming in ...

This Sunday we will hear from Pastor Jason on Exodus 13 on God’s requirement for the Israelites to consecrate their firstborn. In ancient times and in some cultures still today, the hope and future of the family rested on the firstborn. Are you a firstborn laden down with responsibility? Or are you somewhere else in the birth order and feel a little resentment toward the firstborn for their bossin...

On Sunday we will be studying Revelation 5:6-12; that the Passover Lamb has risen from the dead giving us new life and renewed focus to worship Him alone. I hope you will join us and invite others to remember and worship God’s Passover Lamb and know that His blood covers all our sins. Happy Easter! Christ has risen!

Imagine observing Passover for the first time! You are in Egypt after hundreds of years of seeing your people in slavery. You wondered whether God had forgotten about you but then He showed up in power sending nine plagues defeating the Egyptian gods. Now, Moses tells you to prepare to leave Egypt. But first you need to make unleavened bread and slaughter a lamb putting blood on the mantle of your...

It’s here! Our Annual Celebration! This is a time when we thank God for all He did this past ministry year and look forward to the coming year. 

One of the charges people often make of God is that He is harsh and cruel. He just powers up over people. They say something like this: “Why would God send innocent people to hell for all eternity?” If Pharaoh during the time of the Israelite slavery in Egypt is an indicator of God’s interactions with people who reject Him, then let’s remember that God gave Pharaoh and the Egyptians 10 opportuniti...

It is hard to lose and painful to watch those who lose. It reminds me of another group that lost every time. Those were the ancient Egyptian gods. They lost every spiritual battle to the plagues that God sent to Egypt so that the Egyptians would let God's people go. This Sunday, Pastor Kyle will help us better understand God's perspective on the winners and losers in Exodus 8-10. Let’s rem...

Back in 2019, you sent Lori and me to Togo, West Africa, to see how clean water projects turn people far from God into receiving Christ as Saviour and Lord, and how new churches are planted. It is not a stretch to see how clean water leads to the message of Jesus giving living water. In Canada, we often take clean drinking water for granted. However, this is not the case in most parts of the world...

This week Pastor Steve will teach us from Exodus 7:1-13 about how Moses had an audience with a very famous and powerful person, but that Moses had already met somebody more important and carried His message. Have you met the God of the universe and are you carrying His message?

Happy Family Day weekend! What are some of your favourite promises of God? I would love to know. Please email me at info@templebaptistchurch.ca. This Sunday, we’ll look at Exodus 6 as Pastor Kyle unpacks God’s promise of deliverance to His people, the Israelites.

Have you ever felt under-resourced? More month than money when it comes to all your bills? Maybe the cause of your lack of resources is due to somebody else? Maybe a family member made a commitment that has cost you dearly and you are still paying for it? This seems to be the thinking of Israelites in slavery in our passage of Exodus 5 this week when their leader Moses tells Pharaoh to let God’s p...

Most of us know what the signs of danger are - falling rocks or DANGER! with an exclamation point! But have you heard of signs to go back to danger? Well, you will this week from Exodus 4 as God calls Moses to go back to Egypt where he had run away from as a fugitive. Sometimes the most dangerous thing to do is play it safe!

Have you ever been minding your own business and then God unexpectedly showed up? How did He get your attention? Moses was tending sheep when God spoke to Him from the burning bush and told Moses to go back to Egypt to tell Pharaoh to let God’s people go. This is what we will be studying from Exodus 3 this week. May we all be ready and expecting our next encounter with God!

Imagine feeling leaderless and forgotten, while experiencing oppression and persecution. But then a baby is born. Your deliverer is coming! However, in his first act as deliverer, he overreaches and things become violent and so he flees … for 40 years. What would you do? This week in your small groups and on Sunday, we will find out from Exodus 2 what the Israelites did and more importantly, we wi...
