Christ tells us that the weightier matters of the law, are justice, mercy, and faith. But what is faith? Is it merely the belief that Christ is our Saviour, or are there many aspects of faith? What do the scriptures say about faith, and the men and women of faith whose stories encourage us in our walk of faith? Let this series of sermons give you encouragement and inspiration to live a faith-filled life in covenant with the ever-faithful God. Learn about the many facets of Christian faith.
The ancient city of Ur was in the news as a result of recent excavations there. Though a thriving city over 3000 years ago and mostly forgotten to all but the archaeologists, yet some Christians will still recognize Ur as the hometown of Abraham. Abraham, is the father of the faithful, but why did God call Abraham our Father in the faith? What did he think, say, or do that prompted God to use Abraham as an example of godly faith? Jeff Patton examines the life of Abram and Sarai as they begin their covenant walk with God.
The book of Hebrews speaks of women of faith who were blessed with the miracle of having their dead loved ones restored to life. Who were some of these women, and how did they express their faith through action? Jeff Patton reveals the challenges that women have faced and still face, and how God heard the prayers of faithful women of the bible and relieved their suffering. These are powerful stories of God’s deliverance of those who trusted in Him.
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?
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.
Passover
A humourous take on the biblical story of the ten plagues as recounted in the book of Exodus.
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.

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 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.
Christ tells us that the weightier matters of the law, are justice, mercy, and faith. But what is faith? Is it merely the belief that Christ is our Saviour, or are there many aspects of faith?
