Finding the Trunk of the Tree of Christianity
Can we worship God as we please? Or is there a ‘core Christianity’ that believers must embrace and profess? The multi-culturalism of our day is not unlike that of the society of Paul’s day. He wrote to warn Christians of the dangers of embracing useless philosophies. These ideas were not grounded in the truth, but in human reasoning and wisdom. “Don’t be deceived,” Paul cautioned, for the solid foundation of all wisdom and knowledge could only be found in Christ. Only Christ embodied the fullness of God, and faithfully represented the Father. He alone was given authority over every power in heaven and earth. So are we listening to him alone? More
The Lord’s Prayer has interesting parallels to the themes of the day of Atonement. This is especially true when it comes to ‘forgive us our debts.’ Often we think of these debts as ‘sins’ — missing the mark or sins of commission. But it also has the sense of not having fulfilled a duty — sins of omission. We owe God for those times when we failed to do our duty, and yet, he is faithful to forgive these debts. But there is a caveat. He says he will forgive our debts to the degree that we are willing to forgive the debts of others. As his children, God is asking us to let go of the wrongs we have suffered, the debts that have not been paid to us, and the resentments we might be harbouring due to unfulfilled duties that we are owed.
This ties in directly with Atonement and the message of the Jubilee. God’s people as inheritors of God’s land were to establish a system of debt relief every seven years culminating in the 50th year Jubilee which began on the day of Atonement. This was not only a year of release of debt but one of returning to their tribal and family inheritance. This physical means of maintaining a just and equitable society and eliminating intergenerational poverty has its spiritual parallels.
As individuals or nations we can come before our Creator and in humility ask that our debts – our misdeeds of omission or commission – be eliminated by Christ’s sacrifice. But the caveat is that we must love one another and be willing to forgive others as we have been forgiven. How well are we doing in this God-given duty?
Comments Off on Atonement — Yom Kippur, Uncategorized, by CGP.
Monday, September 21 2026 — Tishri 10, 5787 The fast on the Day of Atonement is rich with meaning for the Christian, as it points us to the sacrifice of Christ as a propitiation for our sins, and the sins of all people. As we afflict our souls through fasting we gain a deeper understanding of our need for God, and his plan to forgive our sins so we might live in covenant with Him. We also anticipate that time of peace when the adversary will no longer influence humanity. A jubilee will begin — the restoration of the inheritance to the people of God will be accomplished.
Comments Off on A Day to Remember – Feast of Trumpets 2026, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
In 2026 Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets is Sabbath, September 12 and begins Friday evening at sunset. What message does this Holy Day named, Yom teruah, the day of blowing, or Yom ha din, a day to remember, have for Christians in the 21st century? Jeff Patton takes a journey through scripture garnering insights from the books of Isaiah, Daniel, Revelation and the writings of the apostles to bring to light the many facets of the Feast of Trumpets, the first day of the seventh month on God’s calendar. Are you alert and aware of the trumpet calls in your life?
In poetic language and metaphor Isaiah expressed the message of the Feast of Trumpets — the Day of Reckoning. It is a sobering warning to everyone for all time, but most importantly to the leaders who dictate political, social, economic, and military policy. No matter who you are or where you are, God is promising to cut down the proud and the arrogant. He will destroy the great economic system – their magnificent ship of state – along with the builders. Centuries later the apostle John wrote a similar vision in the book of Revelation. John revisited this theme of the Feast of Trumpets — the Day of Reckoning when he scribed the message, “The great Babylon is fallen, fallen…” Read more at the Worldtomorrow.ca https://worldtomorrow.ca/weeklycolumn/day-of-reckoning-feast-of-trumpets/
Comments Off on The Amazing Hebrew Calendar – in detail, Articles, Beliefs, by CGP.
Thank you to the authors for all of their research and their clarification of contentious issues surrounding the Hebrew calendar. I am posting it on this website as it is a valuable source of information to all who seek to keep the weekly and annual Sabbaths of God.
Introduction We live and work in a very complex world. Among the seven billion people living on earth today, there are those who have sent machines into the universe to skirt the rings of Saturn and to rove and map the surface of Mars. Others have developed computer technology so incredibly minute as to be viewed only by a microscope. And by use of nanotechnology, man dreams of computers so small as to float about unseen amid the molecules of air. In this busy and complex world, God has given us the Appointed Times to be days of festive worship and rejoicing. But for many, the calculated Hebrew Calendar is so complex that it has led to wrangling debates ending in frustration. Such things ought not to be. It is possible, in simple terms, to understand the workings of the calendar.
In Genesis, the Lord God set the heavenly bodies into motion for “appointed times” and seasons. What were these appointed times and why and how was their observance obscured by “traditional Christianity”? Does God still expect his people, those who walk with Him, to observe the Feasts of the Lord, His mo’ed, his appointed times, today? And what meaning do the appointed times have in God’s plan of salvation for humanity?
Learn more about the scriptural Holy Days as the Fall festival season approaches and be prepared to rejoice with others who are following in the footsteps of the Lord and his disciples.
