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...

Happy New Year! God was faithful in 2025, and He certainly will be this coming year! We have much to anticipate. We are beginning a new series through the Book of Exodus entitled Know-Grow-Go this Sunday! Our Leadership Team picked the Book of Exodus to remind us of the power of God in our lives. We are very excited to see what God is going to do in and through us as we gather together each week a...

Think back to the most difficult times of your life. You may say, Jon, why would I do that when I want to put my past in the past? I do not mean to lance any old wounds, but I want you to think about what God has produced in and through you during that suffering. Do you have greater faith in Him? Do you have more perseverance? More empathy for your fellow sufferers? Did you grow through suffering...

I hope you had a great Christmas, and your heart was full of joy and wonder at what our Saviour Jesus has done for us. This Sunday is becoming one of my annual favourites when we gather between Christmas and New Year for a time to share God stories. It is a powerful time remembering God’s faithfulness, power and love in our lives. I usually take time this week every year to review my year going ov...

What is one of the most elusive things in the world? Some say cats. Those who do, have you ever tried to wrangle up chickens that have been enjoying life as free rangers? The trick to rounding up chickens and cats is offering food. What is more elusive than cats or chickens is peace! Unlike food drawing cats and chickens, food requires peace to already be in place. Who eats with somebody they don’...

Most likely you are reading this on Black Friday. Don’t get run over chasing shopping deals. Our family is visiting my wife’s family in the United States this American Thanksgiving week. Many from Lori’s family are not just gathering to celebrate the holiday, but also to spend some time with our family matriarch, Lori’s mom. Mom Henry is a very godly woman who has overcome a lot in her life and is...

This Sunday we finish off our series in Romans, with Pastor Aaron preaching on Romans 16. Romans 16 is a list of people in Paul’s day sent to serve Christ’s Church and to crush Satan. Have you ever thought that our mission is spiritual warfare? That when we serve and make disciples, we are gaining back ground that the Devil has tried to rob from God. That is how important your seemingly “insignifi...

Do you think about how many on our planet do not have access to the Bible or to a gospel witness? Do you have a desire for the gospel to reach new places? This was one of the burning desires of the Apostle Paul as we read Romans 15:14-33, the passage we will be studying this week.

"Total trust leads to total praise!” This was a phrase that I heard often from my senior pastor Rev. Dr. Rick Baker. But it begs the question: what is between total trust to total praise? Or how does total trust turn to total praise? I think it is hope. Hope is a cousin to trust. If you lose hope, then you lose trust. So, hope leads to trust but also to joy and peace. If this doesn’t make sen...

I confess that one of the areas I have struggled with the most in my life is bearing with the failings of the weak. To admit that seems to require double repentance. First, I need to repent of my lack of empathy towards the weak. Second, I have wrongfully elevated myself to be better than those whom I consider the weak. Thankfully I offer to you a better pastor - the Lord Jesus Christ who is not p...

I started playing hockey when I was 7 years old after watching an older boy in our church play, and immediately fell in love with the game. Up until just a few years ago, I played pick-up hockey weekly in the winter. I was never a great skater, but tried to make up for it with hustle. I worked hard at staying out of the “sin bin” (aka the penalty box) because I just wanted to play. I do vividly re...
