Prepare for Passover
Comments Off on Prepare for Passover, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.Paul tells us that we need to examine ourselves before Passover. What did he mean? What does this examination involve, and how do we go about it? It seems to be a serious, even a life-or-death matter! So what is the good news/bad news story that Paul wants us to consider at this time of year? How do we prepare for Passover?

A Changed Christianity: Passover and Easter
Comments Off on A Changed Christianity: Passover and Easter, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.-
How did the division occur between the Church in Jerusalem and the Church in Rome? What were the issues that caused a separation?

A Changed Christianity
Comments Off on A Changed Christianity, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
Is the Christianity of today the direct lineal descendant of the Jerusalem church that was founded on the law, the prophets, and the apostles? Or has there been a change? The brethren of the first century church, both Jew and Gentile, were warned of forces that were trying to subvert, twist, and distort the message of scripture. What was the impact of these forces on their world and on the Christianity of our world. Do we have “a changed Christianity?”

A Changed Christianity: Church Foundation Stone
1 Comment, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.
