Resurrection – God’s Promise Our Hope 2025

Comments Off on Resurrection – God’s Promise Our Hope 2025, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

Christ was resurrected from the dead and this gives us the hope and assurance that all who have a relationship with God and a love for the truth will be ransomed from death and resurrected to eternal life. But where do we find the scriptural evidence for this belief, and what is the nature of the resurrection? This series examines the biblical teaching about the hope of resurrection.
Faith in the resurrection is one of those basic doctrines that each Christian must understand and be able to explain to others, to comfort and encourage them with God’s words of hope.

Is this Reality?

Resurrection — The Christian’s Big Payoff!
Many believe in “a la carte” religion in terms of the afterlife, and most religious people think that when they die they go to heaven. But is this true? Is this what the bible teaches? What is the hope of eternal life that God offers to those he recognizes as His children? The inconvenient truth is that many people will believe lies and will not accept the truth that could save them. The apostle Paul explains the truth about the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15. Will you love the truth so you can have hope in God’s promise of resurrection? More

Understanding Paul’s Message to the Colossians

There is a great deal of confusion in the minds of many Christians when it comes to God’s expectations and the role of the law in the life of the Christian. Perhaps, you have wrestled with some of these questions:

  • Was the law “nailed to the cross?”
  • Does “grace” eliminate the need for the law?
  • Are there different standards for Jew and Gentile?
  • Are the ten commandments still valid, but the statutes are not?
  • Was Paul’s attitude in opposition to the teachings of James and other new covenant writers in regards to the law?
  • What is the unified message that the scriptures present concerning the law of God?
  • How should we understand the concepts of torah in the Hebrew scriptures and nomos in the Greek scriptures?
  • And how will this vital knowledge transform our hearts and minds?
    Let the scriptures speak for themselves, so you can know God’s mind on these matters!

Mystery of Lawlessness: Understanding Colossians

burning_bibleWhen the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians that “the mystery of lawlessness was already at work,” he was confirming that the things Jesus had prophesied were already coming to pass within decades after Christ’s death. Later, John’s writings confirm that John also had to confront the false teachers who were preaching a gospel of “anomia/lawlessness” and leading many away from the truth. And what of our time? What is the reality in most of the Christian world, when it comes to teaching about God’s law; must we be aware and wary of the anti-nomians, those who teach, “anomia?” More

Should We Forget the Law of Moses

Is the Law of Moses “done away.” The majority report from traditional Christianity would say a resounding, “Yes!” But what do the scriptures say? The issue of grace and law has been debated for centuries, and the majority have been led to believe that grace is all that is needed for believers to be “saved.” But there is the scripturalist view, the minority report. It encourages believers to look carefully at what God says, and to reject tradition that is contrary to biblical teaching. So do you know from God’s perspective, if it is wise to forget the “Law of Moses?” More

Sabbath Delight

Sabbath Delight

“Keep the Sabbath day holy.
Don’t pursue your own interests on that day,
but enjoy the Sabbath
and speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day.
Honour the Sabbath in everything you do on that day,
and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly.
14 Then the Lord will be your delight.
I will give you great honour
and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”  Isaiah 58 (NLT)

Remember that Abraham and his descendants including Jacob are by covenant the forefathers of all Christians by faith, and therefore our inheritance is the one promised to Abraham and Jacob.

“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
Hebrews 11

But faith also requires obedience, so as Abraham acted in faith, so we too must keep God’s commandments, statutes, and charge as Abraham did. (Genesis 26)

Pentecost/Feast of Weeks:

Pentecost: Perfecting the SaintsPentecost celebrates the awesome power of the voice of the Eternal delivering the covenant from Mt. Sinai amidst the thunder and lightning. It also commemorates the giving of the Holy Spirit and the establishment of the Church of God, after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, the Messiah. Pentecost, Shavuot, Feast of Weeks is an annual Sabbath rich in meaning for all those who believe in the hope of the resurrection.

And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD…And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. Leviticus 23:15-21

    transformed by God's SpiritSpiritual Warfare

    Christians are called to fight an ongoing battle against a spiritual adversary. But this is only possible if we are being transformed by the Spirit of God. Peter encourages believers to stay alert and watch out, so we can successfully conquer and be victorious in our struggles. We win this spiritual warfare by becoming holy as God is holy. It is only the spirit of God that will give us the courage of our convictions, and the godly character that will set us apart from this world. How does this happen?

    A Lesson from James and John

    What kind of spirit motivates people to do what they do? To answer that question, Luke, wrote of Jesus’ journey with this disciples to Jerusalem. Along the road the weary travellers asked to stay in a Samaritan village, but they were rebuffed. Why? Because the Samaritans saw that the group was on their way to Jerusalem. Now, there had been 500 years of contention between Jews and Samaritans over where one should worship. It had begun long before in the time of Zerubbabel when the Samaritans had tried to undermine the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. So there was a long-standing ethnic feud that prompted the Samaritan’s reaction to Jesus and his disciples. Their sin was a mere lack of hospitality to travel worn strangers. What would you have done if you walked in their sandals?

Judeo Christian Heritage

Comments Off on Judeo Christian Heritage, Sermons and Media, by CGP.

 

The Judeo Christian vision and mission were the motivating forces behind the preaching of the gospel to the world in the first century. This vision is alive today and gives us hope for the future.
The mission is the work that God has given his covenant people to accomplish through the ages. And, though the methods have changed as technology has advanced, the essence of the mission is the same for us in this century as it was for the Judeo Christian believers in the first century after Christ. We are to be the living testimony to God’s way of life, the light on the hill, the salt of the earth.
God’s Plan for his Children
God has a plan that has been consistent through history as shown by the unified purpose of God’s teachings and by the personal examples of the faithful: from Abel to Christ and his apostles.

The Judeo Christian Bible is a comprehensive life-map designed by God the Father and spoken by the Word to provide the path to a good physical life and the only path to eternal life through Christ, the Rock of our Salvation. It contains historical eye witness accounts, memoire, poetry, teaching, and prophecy in one integrated package written over the centuries. It’s themes and purpose are consistent and for those who read it’s message, believe it, and then act on it the promise is one of an abundant life walking in harmony with the Creator and a vision of eternal life.
