Comments Off on Sabbath – God’s Holy Time 2025, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. 10 For the person who has entered His rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from His. Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience. Hebrews 4:8-11
From the beginning, God created man to have a relationship with Him. The Sabbath was that weekly opportunity to commune with God, that God established at the foundation of the world and preserved through the millennia. It looks back to creation and deliverance from Egypt, and it looks forward to the ultimate rest of God and His people in the New Heavens and New Earth. It is a weekly reminder to all who worship the Creator of His majesty, loyalty, loving kindness, and life-giving power. We can find rest and peace in God, on God’s Sabbath day.
Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy. Sound familiar? It should ring a bell. God wants to go on a date with you at the end of the week, are you going to stand God up? Jeff Patton discusses the fourth commandment, and why it is so important for a Christian to remember. More

Time to Prepare for the upcoming Fall FestivalsSeptember 23, 2025 — Tishri 1 5786
The beginning of the fall festival season and the final harvest of ingathering is heralded by the blowing of trumpets. This Holy Day has multiple historic and prophetic meanings. This holy time is the beginning of the ten days of national repentance and reconciliation called the Days of Awe that are completed on the Day of Atonement. It begins the 15 day ascent to Jerusalem, memorialized in the Psalms of Ascent, as the people journeyed up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth). And it looks forward to the coming of the Messiah, to destroy those who destroy the earth and to bring peace and justice to all who look longingly for His return.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’” Leviticus 23
What message does the Holy Day named, Yom teruah, or Yom ha din, or Rosh Hashana have for Christians in the 21st century? Jeff Patton takes a journey through scripture 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?
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
Comments Off on Paul and the Law 2025, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
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:
Mystery of Lawlessness: Understanding Colossians
When 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
Comments Off on Law of Moses – What Christians Should Know, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
View this series of messages that explain in detail God’s revelation about the Law of Moses as it impacts the daily lives of those who are followers of Jesus Christ. Are you a Christian? Then, these messages may give you new insights helping you in your walk with the Father and as ambassadors of Christ.
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
Comments Off on Sabbath Delight, Carolanne Patton, Truth Bytes, by CGP.
“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)
