Memorial Stones
In Joshua 4, the story is recounted of Joshua leading the children of Israel across the Jordan River. God rolled the waters back for them to walk safely across, just as He did for the Israelites when they crossed the Red Sea. As they were crossing, Joshua instructed each of the twelve tribes of Israel […]
Why Paul Tripp is one of my favorites!
There have been a number of influential authors, teachers, and preachers in my life, but one of my favorites is Paul Tripp. I’ve read a number of his books, done some of his studies, and been to a couple of his live conferences. He has a great way of speaking the truth and pointing you […]
The Best Citizenship
In these uncertain times and where many doors are closed, Redemption Bible Chapel keeps The Market doors open. Serving in the market is a great opportunity to bless individuals and families in our community by sharing the love of God in a very practical way, by providing food to families in need. One of […]
My Prayer
I’m having a hard time in my prayer life these days. My love for our Lord hasn’t diminished, I completely trust in the sovereignty of God, and I am certain that not a hair on the heads of those I love will perish if it is outside of God’s will. For some time now, […]
Counting My Blessings While Serving in Redemption Kids
My husband and I started attending Redemption Bible Chapel in July 2011, when we moved here from New Brunswick. I began serving in Redemption Kids as soon as I was able, and I have been incredibly blessed by the opportunity to participate in this vital and thriving ministry. I have served in several roles since […]
The Importance of the Local Church
Almost ten years ago, I stepped into one of the most influential places of my life – Tyndale University. Back then, I was just a guy in his mid-20s from Leamington (small town near Windsor), coming to the Big Smoke to do my BA in Religious Studies so that I could do full time ministry. […]
All Things Together for Good
People often ask me how working at the church is different from working in the business world. Before being hired at Redemption, I worked for a Control Systems Integration company for 14 years. They are a large company with offices throughout Canada and the US, and about 250 employees. They started out just doing industrial […]
The Fun Youth Group
When I was in youth, I had a lot of fun. Our youth nights generally consisted of a pretty fun game (wet cloth monkey in the middle, brutus, sock wrestling, red rover, dodgeball…wait, maybe we just liked violent games…). That usually took about 20-30 minutes. This was followed by hype worship songs that always left […]
Second Chances
Those of you who know me well know I have experienced some very difficult things in my life. However, there are probably some who do not know this part of my story. I am divorced and remarried. I grew up at Central Baptist church on the corner of Queen and Adelaide. Even though my fickle […]
The Longer I Walk With Jesus
Over the years I’ve often pondered my walk with Jesus and how my understanding of everything has changed the longer I walk with Him. When He first saved me, well over a dozen years ago, I was certainly thankful, but I was also very immature. I was quick to speak and often much slower to […]
