Psalms of Ascent

No Comments, Articles, by CGP.

 

The days of awe, and the journey to the Feast of Tabernacles has begun.
Join us as we explore the meaning of this fall festival season through the Psalms

The Psalms of Ascent were sung as people traveled to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles — Succoth.

Day 1 — Psalm 120

David is pleading with God for relief from his lying and aggressive enemies. We live in a time not unlike David’s, when our freedom to worship God unhindered is being undermined and people pretend they want peace, when in reality their actions shout out that they want war.

This Psalm of ascent — Psalm 120 — was traditionally recited on the Feast of Trumpets. It is a time that looks forward to the Lord’s intervention into human affairs. He will protect and nurture those who trust him, those who love peace and righteousness. But the Lord, will execute judgement on those who love war, and are guilty of destroying the earth and its inhabitants.

“In my distress I cried to the Lord,
And He heard me.
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips
And from a deceitful tongue.
What shall be given to you,
Or what shall be done to you,
You false tongue?
Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With coals of the broom tree!
Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
My soul has dwelt too long
With one who hates peace.
I am for peace;
But when I speak, they are for war.”

Are You Walking with God?

Comments Off on Are You Walking with God?, Videos, by CGP.

 

The bible teaches an amazing truth that the Creator, The Word, became a man and in so doing has made it possible for his followers to have a hope of eternal life with him.
Yet there are many in the world of religion that deny this basic teaching of scripture and instead , like the Pharisees of Jesus day, they have set up their own religious standards.
God on the other had has told us that he is looking for justice, loving kindness, and humility in walking with him. So what does it mean to “walk with God?” How do we walk with anyone?
The basics should be obvious. We must agree to walk to together, we must have the same destination in mind, and we must walk at the same pace being considerate of each other.
But beyond these rudimentary principles God gives us what he expects of those who walk with him. More

Appointed Times – God Intervenes in History

Comments Off on Appointed Times – God Intervenes in History, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

Feasts of the Lord

What  is meant by “Appointed Times?”

God is a master of time. He is the Creator of time and seasons. And God intervenes in history and acts at just the right time. Even the demons when speaking to Jesus acknowledged that their time for judgment had not yet come. But, it would come at the appropriate time. Jesus, as he saw the fall festival approaching, urged his family to go up to keep the feast at the appointed time. But he would not go up with them just then. He was waiting until the time was right. Then he would also go up and keep the Feast of Tabernacles, one of God’s appointed times. From the beginning of creation, God had established the heavenly lights to proclaim the seasons, and herald the appointed times. Times that God established as Holy Days and festival seasons. So how do we know when these times occur? More

Covenants – Living with God

No Comments, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

Would it surprise you to know that:

The covenant was not a contract
The covenant was not a “marriage”
The “Old” covenant was not “done away” on the cross
Christ did not abolish the law — the covenant —  by his sacrifice
The ‘Old’ and ‘New’ covenants are not mutually exclusive

The Covenant is everlasting

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore.

Ezekiel 37:26

Covenants 1 — Walking with God

What does it take to have a spiritual relationship with the Father and the Son? What is the yoke that Christ asks us to be willing to bear in order to be in step with Him? Consider the scriptural witness in this series of sermons that brings to light the nature of our covenantal relationship with the Creator of the universe. How is it possible for physical people to have a relationship with the Eternal – an Everlasting Covenant? The scriptures make this understanding clear for those who have been called by God to have their hearts and minds open to see the truth.

Covenants 2 —  Called to Be Saved

Is an understanding of the everlasting covenant mere esoteric knowledge, or a minor twig of understanding on the tree of life? Explore the scriptures and understand the covenant’s critical role in our understanding of salvation and our relationship with Christ. The covenant is a life-long, life-changing relationship not a one-time profession of faith.

Covenants 3 — Partnership with God

Do you have a contractual relationship with God or a covenantal relationship? And what is the difference between the two, or are they the same? What do the scriptures tell us about God’s purpose and the work he calls people to accomplish in partnership with Him? The scriptures make clear who God calls into an everlasting covenant, the nature of the calling, and the work he calls each individual to do while walking with God.

Fall Festivals – Succoth 2025

No Comments, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

Are You Prepared for Christ’s Rule?

“Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”  Revelation 20

“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5

Preparing For Christian Leadership

Considering the future that God has prepared for his people, are we preparing now to do our part?
God is training his leaders for positions of service to care for his family. Will we be ready to do our part? Here are some messages from the scriptures to help us reflect on the role God wants us to play in bringing many children into his household.

Day 1 Holy Day Succoth 2025

Biblical Futurists — A Festival for Christ’s Followers

These festival days in the fall harvest season have important meaning for every believer in Jesus Christ our Messiah. And yet in our time few people believe in a literal return of the King of Kings. Few consider the need for observing God’s commanded assemblies. And as a result, even fewer people have a clear vision of the future. Yet, Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, encouraged these converts to keep the annual feast days recorded by Moses. Why? It was an important part of the gospel message! Paul understood this and preached the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God.

Rejoice! 

Rejoice…a Responsibility

Peter, explains the responsibility that comes with the great and precious promises that God has given us. And one of them is fellowship. We rejoice in the festivals of God for they are special times to express brotherly and godly love. They are opportunities to show kindness and goodness, and demonstrate the power of God in our service to others. This is a cause to rejoice! More

Chilean miner’s survived their ordeal 700 metres below the surface for months before they were rescued. Their final release from the collapsed mine happened 25 years ago in October 2010. Jeff Patton relates the qualities that allowed for their survival, to that of the Christian journey, and the qualities we need to serve and survive. It is a powerful story of leadership, sacrifice, service and survival.

Atonement 2025 Yom Kippur

No Comments, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

Thursday, October 2 2025
The fast  on the Day of Atonement is rich with meaning for the Christian, as it points us to the sacrifice of Christ as a propitiation for our sins, and the sins of all people. As we afflict our souls through fasting we gain a deeper understanding of our need for God, and his plan to forgive our sins so we might live in covenant with Him. We also anticipate that time of peace when the adversary will no longer influence humanity.
A jubilee will begin — the restoration of the inheritance to the people of God.

Days of Awe – 2025

No Comments, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

The Teleion Man and the Days of Awe

growing to spiritual maturityDays of Awe have historically been considered as a time of judgment, the time between the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah, and the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. During this time God has a message for the physical people, the descendants of Israel, a message of repentance and reconciliation. For the Christian the message gains a deeper significance as we move beyond repentance to embrace the goal of becoming the telleion man (or woman). Jeff Patton will shed light on this goal and our spiritual journey.
