What do the Beatitudes, Pentecost, and the book of Malachi have in common? Jeff Patton gives an encouraging message about the common thread through Hebrew and Greek scriptures of the cleansing power of God’s spirit. Join him as he explains the Judeo Christian perspective on the meaning of Pentecost, and the transforming power of the Spirit and the commandments. And the debts (cheirographon) that have been washed away by the cleansing power of Christ’s sacrifice.
Following in the footsteps of the disciples, Judeo Christians observe Pentecost, this most important festival that provides the spiritual links between Jewish and Gentile believers. This Holy Day cuts to the heart of Christ’s message for all about the commandments and way of life that is motivated by the Spirit of God. Jeff examines the practices in the Greek and Hebrew scriptures to help us understand the deep spiritual implications of this festival season.
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 not a guarantee but the outcome of applying the right kind of knowledge.
We are to love God with all our heart. Most Christian apologists would tell you that this is a metaphor and not the reality. But is there more to the story? What is the heart of a Christian that is to guide our thoughts into obedience to our Maker?

Remember the things I have done in the past.
For I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish.
Isaiah 46:9-10
Prophecy and history work in tandem in scripture providing accurate details of past events and predicting similar but transformed events for the future. The God of the bible claims that not only has He worked in the past to guide events but He assures bible readers that He is not only able to predict the future but He has the power to bring it to pass. This knowledge of God’s action in history gives believers hope and comfort.
We can all think back on the lessons we have learned and advice from mother. Jeff Patton shares some of these lessons from the “mothers” he has known and then explores the topic of our “spiritual mother,” who she is and what she teaches us. Do you know, or have you made some false assumptions?
