Reality or Illusion – There are Consequences
In a world where the biological fact of male and female is being challenged and transgenderism embraced, are we pursuing reality or embracing illusion? Some in the world of medical science claim that sex is binary. Why? Because there are over 6,000 genetic differences between the sexes that are embedded in every cell. And hormone therapy cannot change this reality. However, there are others who deride such statements of fact as ‘hate speech,’ for they would prefer the illusion of gender choice. The Christian narrative embraces ‘natural law’ the reality embedded in the natural world. This law, this physical reality, was the work of the Creator who made all things. Yet, in Jesus day he also dealt with societal leaders who were willing to deny reality to achieve their own ends. More

You Need a Redeemer
Harriet Tubman’s story is an inspiring tale of a woman whose courage helped her kinsmen escape from chattel slavery. She fulfilled the role of a redeemer to her people bringing many slaves by way of the ‘underground railroad’ to safety in Canada. Yet the greater story of redemption is that of the Creator redeeming his creation from the slavery of death and decay, into the liberty of God’s eternal children. Do you know that story? More

Running the Christian Race
” Do not stumble!’ This was the apostle Paul’s exhortation to his readers in order to complete the Christian race. Unlike the competitors of Paul’s day we are not seeking the fleeting glory of a crown that withers. Rather, we are to run our best race with discipline and self-control. Why? So we can seize the prize — a crown that is imperishable. The prize for the overcomer, the one who was victorious, is to inherit eternal life and sit with Christ when he returns. So what could make you stumble, and keep you from conquering? More

First Holy Day
Monday October 14
Take Our Refuge in God
When we are lost, when we are pressed beyond the point of no return, when death or destruction are imminent, remember where to look for refuge. Jeremiah Patton encourages us to learn from the lessons of Mt. Everest and inspires us to act in the knowledge that God is our refuge.
Prophecy Fulfilled —
Have “All Things” been Fulfilled
Many Christians believe that when Christ died and was resurrected that “all things were fulfilled” but is that true? What does the bible really teach? Jeff Patton examines the evidence of scripture and history to show the prophecies concerning the Messiah that are yet to be fulfilled. Prophecy fulfilled – Isaiah challenges Christians to rethink their ideas about Christ as they read, here a little, there a little, to discover what the future holds for those who trust in Christ as Saviour.
Day 2 Feast of Tabernacles 2019 Tuesday, October 15
God Our Father
As a new father, Joshua reflects on the role of God our father, and how fathers are to relate to their children, in loco deus. He draws from his personal experiences to explain the foundation that fathers build for their children in teaching them about God.
Can We Help Others Find the ‘Way Back?’
The Feast pictures the millennial reign of Christ and His saints as kingly priests. But at the onset there will be millions of people who have been traumatized by horrific global catastrophes. What quality of character will be of great importance to God in selecting his servants who will be responsible for helping these hurting people find the way back to God?
Day 3 Feast of Tabernacles 2019 Wednesday, October 16
We find ourselves in a journey through this life. But do you realize that as Christians, we are actually walking in the footsteps revealed by a king? A king who is so much greater than all others, and whose calling is to enter into fellowship with Him. Do we share His life, His mission, and His vision of the future! Let the scriptures help you understand your future in the ‘fellowship of the king.’
Day 4 Feast of Tabernacles 2019 Thursday, October 17
The Messianic Age
When we study the future, as pictured by the Feast of Tabernacles, we come to understand more about God’s ways. The prophets, Isaiah and Micah, both were inspired to write about the coming of the Messianic age. Their messages were very similar, and they both focused on the importance of the law in establishing the millennial reign of the Messiah. So what are those ways of God that he will be teaching all nations?
Day 5 Feast of Tabernacles 2019
Friday, October 18
The Kingdom of God will Grow
Jesus spoke of the farmer planting the seeds and the mystery of the seeds growing “spontaneously,” as an analogy of the Kingdom of God. What did he mean, and what are the implications for those disciples called to sow the seed? Daniel, Isaiah, and David all add to our understanding of how the Kingdom of God will grow, as both a physical and spiritual reality. Let the scriptures reveal the answers to this great marvel.
Day 6 Feast of Tabernacles 2019 Sabbath, October 19
The King’s Message about His Kingdom
Almost two thousand years ago Christ came and brought a message about the king and his kingdom. He instructed his disciples, all who are called of the Father, that we should pray that his Kingdom should come soon. But it is not here yet. So, what is the secret of the Kingdom that Christ revealed to his disciples, but not to the world? What is the nature of the realm of the King’s sovereign rule? What is the job the King wants us to do?
Day 7 of the Feast of Tabernacles 2019 Sunday, October 20
Who Shall Dwell with God?
The Eighth Day – Last Great Day Monday, October 21
Can these bones live. The short answer is, “Yes!” but there is much more to the story. God says that, “all will be saved” but is that happening now? When will God work to save all of humanity? God’s plan of salvation for all is revealed through the Holy Days that God created as memorials and as prefigurative events envisioning what is to come in the future. The future is full of hope for those who put their trust in the God of scripture.
Comments Off on Could Christians Miss Out on Atonement?, Videos, by CGP.
Atonement and Free Will
In Israel, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, 60% of the people were fasting this year. They were remembering Moses instructions to the people of Israel as they were about to enter the promised land. This was a time when the nation had recommitted themselves to their covenant with the Lord God. They promised to love and obey their Lord. They had been given the blessing of free will, and the Lord had told them to choose life by keeping his commandments. Including the instructions for observing the annual Holy Days, like the Day of Atonement. Unfortunately, the history of Israel was such that they often strayed from God and his ways. And they reaped the consequences. More
Comments Off on The Fall Festivals and Becoming Teleion People, Videos, by CGP.
Jesus Warning to his Disciples
Jesus warned his disciples of a danger in his time and ours that would keep us from becoming ‘Teleion people’. He said with a sense of urgency, “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I have not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets!” And yet, many in our Christian world declare just the opposite. They insist that Jesus came to “nail the law to the cross.” And in so doing, they deny Christ’s own words. He gave us warning because he knew that the doctrine of lawlessness would cause many to stumble. He knew that they could never know the love of God, while at the same time rejecting God’s commands.

Comments Off on Hypocrisy in Leadership — ancient and modern, Videos, by CGP.
Living in Dangerous Times
The Prophet Jeremiah lived in a dangerous time. The nation was on the brink, being threatened by the world super-power, Babylon. He was upset by the wealthy and hypocritical leaders who seemed to be flourishing, when the nation was suffering and about to be sent into exile. God’s response to Jeremiah’s impatience over the condition of the nation was startling. The situation was to get worse, not better, and there were dangerous times ahead. And yet Jeremiah was encouraged to be hopeful. God would uproot the people from their land, but he would also bring them back. When we consider our world these warnings from Jeremiah’s words still apply. More
