Comments Off on Real Authority: Why Passover not Easter?, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
The Vatican is presently courting the Pentecostal churches to rejoin the “fold” of the Catholic church. Is this ecumenical model something the Church of God should embrace? As a group or individuals should we relinquish our biblical understanding of Passover, in favour of Easter? Or, do we have strong historic and biblical precedents that tell a cautionary tale, and warn us to avoid those who forsake the scriptural understanding and embrace concepts steeped in church tradition. What were those truths for which the apostle John and his followers were willing to sacrifice their lives? Who has the real authority to determine how and when we worship God? Why Passover not Easter!
If we are not “Holy” we will not “see the LORD!” Being holy is an important message from God, during the days of unleavened bread – to be holy as God is holy. Sin defiles individuals and nations, but the priests of God, those who teach and encourage God’s people must value His standard of holiness, and be holy, showing respect for His name. What are those standards that God has established for His priests, those who serve Him? These lessons are vital understandings for those who are called into a New Covenant relationship with God the Father and who are destined to be a nation of priests.
Comments Off on The Great Sabbath: Malachi’s Message for the Passover Season, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
The Sabbath before the spring festival season, Passover and Unleavened Bread, is a “Great” Sabbath. Traditionally, the scriptures read at this time of year included the book of Malachi. What important messages did God give to the priests through Malachi, that have great value for Christians today? Who are God’s priests in training today and what does He expect of those who serve Him?
“Dokimazo” – Do you know what this means? As we prepare to rededicate ourselves to God’s service at the Passover, are we considering whether our worship of God is genuine. Have we examined ourselves so that we are proved to be real and authentic. God wants to know where our heart is, and whether we will obey Him. Are we prepared for Passover, and ready to take the symbols of this most meaningful ritual in a worthy manner.
In ancient religions sacrifices were often made with the idea of “buying off the gods” and this has translated into a more modern notion that offering a sacrifice, somehow, makes it “right to do wrong.” But is that the scriptural reality, or are there some profound insights that Christians can discern from the lessons of Sacrifice and Passover? And does sacrifice really atone for intentional sins? The bible provides the answers.
Comments Off on Encouragement: Haggai Rebuilding the Temple, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
Do we “despise the day of small things” and are we discouraged because times have changed and the influence of the Church of God has waned? Haggai in writing to the people who had been called to rebuild the temple after its destruction, encourages them to do the work in spite of changing circumstances, few labourers, and limited resources. What does this historic period teach us today? Haggai rebuilding the temple.
Balaam and the church, what are the lessons for us today? The world is full of irony, like the former KGB head, Vladimir Putin, championing moral conservatism, or the Catholic church espousing religious freedom. Jeff recounts this very old story of double-mindedness, as seen in the biblical account of Balaam. More
