Comments Off on Salvation Explained 1 — Vision of Eternal Life, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
The ancient Egyptians had amazing rituals associated with their concept of life after death and the hurdles they believed they had to magically overcome in order to attain eternal life. Jeff Patton contrasts the mythology of the Egyptians with the reality of scriptures and encourages believers to hold fast to the hope of eternal life that is presently a reality in their lives. Salvation begins with this hope and a vision for the future.
For all the doomsdayers who speak about the decline of marriage the statistics present an alternate reality. Jeff Patton talks about our yearning for the “good marriage” as it collides with the conditions that hinder us in achieving our “happily-ever-after.” Marriage is not easy, but it is worthwhile and this is why!
What Believers Should Know In the beginning the first man and woman were given some very important instructions, ones that were re-emphasized millennia later by other biblical writers. Jeff Patton delves into the scriptural teachings that form the basis of the Christian marriage relationship.
There are no guarantees when you get married. But God created marriage with great meaning and great potential. Jeff Patton encourages newly weds and those contemplating marriage to understand God’s plan for marriage. He gives a scriptural overview of the marriage covenant, and the purpose of marriage from God’s perspective. What does God expect from the partners in the marriage covenant? The bible gives the answers.
What kind of knowledge does God want you to have about Christian marriage, and how will this help you in the “tribulation” that God said would come with the marriage package. Jeff shows that “happily ever after” is possible but not a guarantee, for it is the outcome of applying the right kind of knowledge.

The idea of the “Vicar of Christ” is foreign to the biblical record. Jeff Patton looks into the scripture to understand the foundation stone of Christianity. Was Peter the rock that the Church was built on and were his successors given the power to bind and loose? This is the mainstay of traditional Christianity, but is it the truth?
Early Church Authority The apostle John, warned Christians of church leaders who were rejecting John’s authority and the traditional teachings of the apostles, and even expelling faithful brethren from their congregations. This important information about church authority is for all Christians who are looking to understand and practice the “Christianity” of Christ and the apostles.
Power to Bind and Loose? Millions of people believe that the Church had the power to bind and to loose. But is this true? What does the bible say about what is bound and what is loosened by God. Who has the authority to bind and loose? Christ gives an unequivocal answer that may surprise you.
It is a common belief in our era that the traditions we have inherited, and the days we celebrate have their roots in the biblical account. As a result, with the increasing commercialization there are those who are always fighting to “put Christ back into Christmas.” But was he ever there in the first place? Let’s look at the record of scripture and history to understand the traditional Christian holidays. Then we can know what God wants us to do to worship Him in spirit and truth.
Does God care about the festivals we celebrate in his honour? The scripture outlines Holy Days that are commanded, but what about other days that are not commanded? Does God leave the decision-making up to us? What criteria should we use in deciding what we should or should not celebrate? Are Christmas and Chanukah both festivals of light?
Jesus, when speaking to the Samaritan woman, made several astonishing statements about true worship. He said, “You Samaritans, do not know what you worship!” Yet they thought they did. Digging deeper we can come to understand why Christ made this bold statement. History reveals the startling truth about the origins of the Samaritans And this has great significance to us today.
