Growing in Grace and Knowledge
Comments Off on Growing in Grace and Knowledge, Filed in Videos, by CGP.
The Christian challenge is one of growing in grace and knowledge over a lifetime. We cannot remain static, we must grow, no matter how slowly. But God is there to help, showing us favour and “leaning towards us,” so He can bless us. But what does the scripture say about this growth process? Zechariah encourages us to trust in God’s grace, and Peter and Paul admonish us to grow in a certain kind of knowledge. What is the kind of knowledge, the “gnosis,” gained through a first-hand relationship with God, that Peter is encouraging us to embrace.

Celtic Scripturalists Spiritual warfare
Comments Off on Celtic Scripturalists Spiritual warfare, Filed in Videos, by CGP.
Our survival as Christians in the 21st Century depends upon our understanding the historic spiritual warfare between two major views of scripture. It has been fought between the scripturalists, those who believed in the literal word of God, and those who espoused the allegorical interpretation of scripture and exalted the role of the church as interpreter. In the early medieval period it was a battle between the scripturalists of the early Common Celtic Church, and the Romanists who followed Augustine’s allegorical interpretation. The battle has continued to our day, and we need to know God’s expectations, so we can do battle with God’s armour of truth, righteousness, and faith.

How do you love God with all your soul, your “Nephesh.” Jeff helps us understand the full meaning of “nephesh:” body, soul, living being, unique personality. He makes plain lessons from the lives of Joseph, Daniel, Peter, Cornelius, and Paul to help us understand God’s message for both Jew and Gentile, all those who follow the teachings of Christ. Are you glorifying God in your body and loving God with all your soul? God expects no less.

Comments Off on Christians: Fasting on the Day Atonement?, Filed in Videos, by CGP.Christians: Fasting on the Day Atonement?
Are there clues in the scripture to help Christians know God’s expectations in regards to fasting on the day of Atonement? What did Christ, Paul, and others have to say about fasting on the day of Atonement? Was there a role for fasting in the life of the disciples in the New Covenant church. Jeff Patton searches the biblical accounts and makes connections to the Lord’s prayer to help us understand God’s mind on this matter. You may be surprised.

Comments Off on Using Spiritual Gifts, Filed in Videos, by CGP.
The days between Rosh Hashana, Feast of Trumpets, and Atonement are days of personal reflection. It is a time to ask ourselves whether we are using spiritual gifts that God has given us. Jeff Patton talks about our calling by God the Father and the gifts God has given us in order to serve Him. Having been drawn to Christ, the I AM, by the Father, are we doing our part to build up the body of Christ?

Yom Teruah Feast of Trumpets
Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the UN, is concerned that, “This year the horizon of hope is darkened…” We are entering a time of judgment and momentous world events. But, for the people celebrating Yom Teruah Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashana, our Lord God gives us hope. How does this feast remind us of the hope, the salvation, and the deliverance that our merciful God offers to those who walk humbly in covenant with Him. Jeff Patton encourages us to have hope in Jesus Christ, the I AM, who will return to the earth as King of King and Lord of Lords.
