The actual chronology of the biblical accounts is evidence of Jesus having been in the tomb three days and three nights. He was in the tomb Wednesday late afternoon before sunset and left the tomb late Saturday (Sabbath)afternoon just before sunset. Paul was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah for he fulfilled the prophecies. But even more, Paul had a personal experience talking to the resurrected Jesus. Like Mary and all of the other disciples, Paul knew from personal experience that Jesus had risen from the dead! And, he had fulfilled the symbolism of the wave sheaf … so what did that mean?

Mark out a straight path for your feet.
Then those who follow you,
though they are weak and lame,
will not stumble and fall but will become strong

The Real Nature of Things
— something beyond meaninglessness
Mum did not live to see the dawn of this new millennium, but her example remains, inspiring those of us who knew her. Mum bequeathed to us a tantalizing sense of something beyond this present society’s worldview– this orthodoxy of meaninglessness and its consuming pursuit of materialism. So we begin our walk through a new era with an inherited sense of anticipation and a transcendent hope. We, Isaac and Rebecca, would like to share this lively optimism, this sustaining encouragement....
Comments Off on Are You Walking with God?, Videos, by CGP.
The bible teaches an amazing truth that the Creator, The Word, became a man and in so doing has made it possible for his followers to have a hope of eternal life with him.
Yet there are many in the world of religion that deny this basic teaching of scripture and instead , like the Pharisees of Jesus day, they have set up their own religious standards.
God on the other had has told us that he is looking for justice, loving kindness, and humility in walking with him. So what does it mean to “walk with God?” How do we walk with anyone?
The basics should be obvious. We must agree to walk to together, we must have the same destination in mind, and we must walk at the same pace being considerate of each other.
But beyond these rudimentary principles God gives us what he expects of those who walk with him. More
Comments Off on Are You Awake to God’s Promises?, Videos, by CGP.
Are you awake to what God will be doing in the coming year? There are those who espouse ‘Christianity’ who do not believe that God will keep his promises. Or perhaps they think that the prophecies were already completed in some historical past. Do you know what God says and do you trust him to be the same yesterday, today and forever?
In a time of asymmetrical warfare our Western Democracies are under great strain. We need to ask ourselves whether our current dilemmas are the result of having forgotten God’s ways so that instead of walking fearlessly on his straight path we are stumbling in the darkness. Jesus warned about the false prophets caught up in their faulty predictions of the future, while also reminding us of the need to be prepared for his return – a return that will surely come.
So do we believe that God will yet fulfill the prophecies that he delivered to his people over the centuries – More

The Authentic Gospel & the Messiah
The Messiah oratorio penned by Handel is a masterpiece of biblical teaching.
With powerful emotion and haunting melodies it preaches the authentic gospel message. The lyricist, Charles Jennens was a non-conformist Christian whose lyrics were designed to preach the ‘authentic gospel.’ It could perhaps be considered now as a “guerilla’ tactic to preach the truth. Carefully Jennens crafted a masterpiece about Jesus, the Messiah, as sung through the voices of many biblical writers. He was not ashamed about the authentic gospel. Rather, Jennens used his talents and the theatre venue to preach the message of hope in the Messiah, and to praise His name.
Do you know that message? Are you living in that hope? Learn more about God’s message of hope to humanity in this series of sermons.
The biblical writers, Jude, Paul, and John, encouraged believers to “fight for the faith once delivered.” They urged their readers to recapture the authentic gospel — what was understood from the beginning. Do you know that gospel? …In this festive winter season it would seem that many have never known ‘primitive’ Christianity. Or, they have forgotten the authentic gospel message.
Handel’s ‘Messiah’ was mysterious to the public who knew little of the bible. So in beginning his work with the message of, “Comfort my people — says your God,” Jennens desire was to speak to the heart of his audience. He wove the scriptures together to appeal to people’s emotions and longings – to comfort the weary with God’s words. And that message still resonates today… More
An excellent way to engage young and old in the biblical narratives, reader’s theatre provides an opportunity for everyone to participate in playing a role and gaining greater knowledge of the characters and events illuminated in the scriptures. Whether performed as a “play” or just enjoyed around the dining table, reader’s theatre could add to your celebration of God’s festivals.

Or, “This Night has Twenty Minutes” a condensed version of how God delivered Israel out of slavery. The biblical characters act out the story as retold in Exodus
Never Throw in Your Towel
By Jean Jantzen-Duperreault
Slumped against the dank coarse stone wall, his sleep shallow and troubled, Joseph reluctantly shook himself awake when something cool rubbed against his hand. Protectively yanking his hand towards him, his half-closed eyes glimpsed the gaunt rat, in the dim flickering light, as it scurried to the prisoner sleeping a stone’s throw away. Rubbing the gritty sleep from his eyes, Joseph wondered why he had been thrown into this caliginous tomblike dungeon in Egypt, since he was trying with all his heart to obey God and God was working in his life.

Comments Off on The Biblical Worldview — Purim and Esther, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
God Does the Improbable Most people live their daily lives with no consideration for what God has done or continues to do. So it would surprise them to know how God works — how God does the improbable. But, those who have faith, who trust in God, believe that God will give them victory over death. Is there anything more ‘improbable’ than that? Our spiritual ancestors understood God’s power to reward those who seek him. So, they didn’t just believe he exists. They believed in his power to intervene and do the improbable in their lives. Do you?
Comments Off on Judeo Christian — A Question of Conscience, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
Jesus when prophesying about the end of the age — the end of civilization as we know it — warned those who would live then to be aware so they would not be caught up in the delusions of their time.
It would be a time of great deception of people deceiving and being deceived. So what advice did Jesus and his disciples offer for those living in such times? It is a matter of knowing the truth, the moral and ethical imperatives implicit in the biblical narrative — the Judeo Christian worldview. We must then ask ourselves do we understand this message from God revealed in his word and are we living in harmony with it with a clear conscience? This will make all the difference in navigating successfully in our present time of confusing and shifting moral values.
