Temple Cambridge

This Sunday we will be continuing on with our series journeying through the Psalms of Ascents. Pastor Aaron will be preaching from Psalm 124 talking about how when we go through peril as Christians, God is our help.

This Sunday we will be taking a break from our Psalms of Ascents series to look at Hope. Gord Naismith will be preaching from Daniel 2:28.

We are going on a pilgrimage! Better yet, for many of us we are continuing a pilgrimage to the Christ’s Celestial City. For the next four months, our staff pastors and guest speakers will be preaching through the Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120-134). This Sunday, elder Wayne Baxter, will be kicking off the series with Psalm 120.

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 door because God is sending the angel of death to kill all the firstborn in Egypt who aren’t covered by the blood. And to this day, the Jews celebrate Passover. In fact, Jewish children will ask four questions on Passover night: 1) Why is only matzah (unleavened bread) eaten? 2) Why are bitter herbs consumed? 3) Why is food dipped twice? 4) Why does everyone recline?Do you know the answers? Does your family know the answers? And do you know what the Passover points to Christ? Come this Sunday to find out as we study Exodus 12.

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 opportunities to repent. And now God takes the firstborn sons from Pharaoh and the Egyptians. You will recall from Exodus 1 that an earlier Pharaoh and the Egyptians had killed many of the Hebrew baby boys. But God was not a vengeful God. Why? Come out this Sunday to discover more about God as we open up His Word to Exodus 11.
