Sola Scriptura Messages

God’s kindness, (gr.chrestotes) is unique and unlike human kindness. Jeff Patton takes us on a journey through the scriptures to reveal the effect of God’s kindness in our lives, a kindness that we as believers are to emulate in our relationships with others. Is the fruit of the spirit at work in our lives so that we are kind as God is kind? View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

Disciples of Moses? The Pharisees of Jesus’ day thought of themselves as disciples of Moses. They thought they knew Moses’ message, but they were wrong. Jesus consistently exposed the Pharisees’ hypocrisy. For though they made a great show of fastidiously tithing on thyme leaves, an insignificant matter, in reality they were cheats and cons. They had avoided the fly in their meal, but had proverbially “swallowed the camel.” The politically correct crowd of the time claimed Moses’ message as their own, but the truth was quite the opposite. They lacked the justice, mercy, or faith that Moses had taught. None of these hypocritical people kept the law, the teachings God delivered through Moses. In fact, they were plotting to kill Jesus, the one who was trying to correct their lack of understanding. Jesus had not come to destroy the law or the prophets, but to make the full intent of these writings known. The people would reap what they were sowing, just as Moses prophesied. The apostle Paul encountered similar self-righteous attitudes when confronting the Jewish religious leadership that challenged his ministry to the Gentiles. Are we or our modern religious leaders guilty of holding similar attitudes towards God’s law? View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

The prophet Isaiah gives us hope beyond the present adversity and a vision of the future when the Lord of Lords will reign in justice and truth. Meanwhile, we need to look to the scripture to understand God's view on persevering through times of adversity. God did not promise his followers a life of ease, but rather he gives us the hope of the strength and wisdom to make good decisions in times of trouble. Jesus' Olivet prophecy, and his instructions to his disciples provide a snapshot of the kind of trouble we will need to face. But God also provides hope and encouragement for the present and promises of a bright future for those who trust in him.

Amos Speaks Truth to Power Amos, the prophet, understood that the Lord God loved his people, even though they had rebelled time after time. So God had commissioned Amos, a farmer, to take a message to the leaders of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel in Samaria. The Lord was giving them both a warning, and a message of hope. Amos knew that the Lord had chosen Israel to bring the light of truth and hope to the world. But they could not do that task unless they were willing to walk in agreement with God. So Amos, was tasked with speaking God’s truth to the powerful leaders of the day, who had forgotten God.

Hosea Speaks to Political Turmoil Hosea witnessed the decline and ultimate fall of the 10 tribe confederation of Israel, and his messages resonate with us today. Decades earlier the once united Kingdom that had flourished under the reigns of David and Solomon became divided into two warring factions. The ten northern tribes led by Ephraim chose Samaria as their stronghold. The 3 tribes under the Davidic dynasty in the south continued to be ruled from Jerusalem. But it wasn’t long before the northern kingdom dissolved into political chaos. Learn the import of Hosea's message for today.

Jesus Affirms the Role of the Prophet Jesus told his followers that they should not misunderstand his intentions. He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. Rather, Jesus understood the important role of the prophet in ensuring that God's purpose would be achieved. This is an inconvenient truth to many who are teaching and governing in harmony with the politically correct notions of our time. Like their ancient predecessors, today's hypocritical leaders want to look good, but in reality they are pretentious evil-doers from Jesus' perspective. Jesus castigated the 'virtue signalling' frauds of his day by calling them the sons of those who murdered the prophets. But why did their ancestors murder the prophets? And why were the Pharisees willing to murder Jesus, the prophet? View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

God has a message for those who would take up the mantle of leadership of God's people. It is not a comforting message. God is testing all of his people to discern whether they will listen to his counsel or not. Jeremiah the prophet, in a time of great national turmoil, was given a message to deliver to the people. God likened the nation to two baskets of figs, one was good and the other was rotten. God explains how he would preserve the good figs, those who trusted him and did what was right. He also warned the 'rotten figs' that unless they changed their corrupt, self-serving ways they would be destroyed. There are lessons today for those in positions of leadership who are building their 'palaces' with slave labour, abusing their people and defying God's will. There is also a message of hope for those who trust God and follow his teachings. It is time we all consider where we stand and how God will work in our lives.

This message given at the beginning of the 'pandemic' is as meaningful now as it was then. And perhaps more so. Are we learning lessons from COVID-19? Our world is seemingly very fragile now, as stock markets, business, tourism, and education all react in panic to the declaration that COVID-19 is a pandemic. But this is not the first pandemic, nor will it be the last. So what wisdom can we gain and what action can we take when it comes to the spectre of contagious disease? The bible offers wisdom that can alleviate fear and give us positive steps to take to protect ourselves and our communities. Moses penned this advice millennia ago, but it is well worth reviewing.

Are we ‘living in the truth’ when it comes to God’s revelation, including God’s food guide? It is God’s wish to prosper us so we can be in good health, and experience a successful, abundant life. But we must be walking in the truth — actually doing the things that produce health. And the scriptures offer important advice on spiritual and physical wellbeing. We live in a time when the whole world has been seduced to believe in lies, and has wandered from the truth, the reality. As a result, we suffer the consequences of being divorced from reality, and one of those consequences is ill health. Many Christians have been taught that what you do physically does not impact your life spiritually, but this is not the reality as defined by God’s divine revelation.

Finding Perfect Peace In a turbulent world with hostility and distress a part of the mainstream news diet, how does one find wellness? And yet, the Lord God’s promise is of perfect peace for those who trust in him. For he is God our Healer, and he knows the conditions required for wellness. Part of that peace comes in knowing what the future holds. For those who trust God and have his vision of the day when the Messiah will rule, there is joy and peace. But is God our refuge today?

While living in Egypt the Israelites were subject to Pharaoh and his laws that produced slavery and death; there was cause and effect. In delivering the people from this bondage and way of life, God gave these ex-slaves a new body of laws that would produce good results. But only if they would listen carefully and do what was right. These commands were not only ‘do-able,’ but they were not difficult to obey, and they would demonstrate love for God and neighbour. And in following God’s instructions he gave them the promise, that they would no longer suffer from the illnesses that they had endured in Egypt. God’s ways would produce wellness.

When Israel left Egypt, and entered the desert of Sinai one of the first challenges they faced was a lack of water. It was at the waters of Mara that God performed a miracle. By healing the water, God turn the bitter waters into fresh sweet water . God had tested them and many had responded with discontent and grumbling. But God was faithful and provided for his people. Paul used their example as an object lesson for all believers that we should to trust in God in times of trial. Then God gave his first ‘lesson’ to the nation of former Egyptian slaves. He gave them a promise if they would listen to him and do what was right! Then, God would not put on them any of the diseases they had suffered in Egypt. And he would be known by his name, God our Healer, Yahweh Rophe. View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

If, as some Christians believe, we already have eternal life as immortal souls, then why would we need a resurrection? From the scriptures we know that the hope of eternal life is the goal of salvation and that salvation is a process that culminates in the resurrection to eternal life, but what does the bible say about the nature of those who are resurrected? Jeff Patton explains this great spiritual mystery of immortal life. View more videos and articles to learn about God and his teachings from the 'sola scriptura' perspective.

There is a growing fascination with angels and much of it is based on fantasy and not fact. In scripture the birth of Samson, John the Baptist, and Jesus were all foretold by angels. Angels played an important role as messengers delivering God’s word and revealing his will to his people. But there was also a trap, a danger that Paul and Peter warned about, for there were those in their time who began to worship angels. So what does scripture tell us about the nature of angels. Do people become angels? Or does God have a plan for humanity that surpasses that of the angelic hosts? What is the spiritual reality?

And what was the effect of this message in the life of Nicodemus.

Are there many paths to salvation, to eternal life? The scripture talks about the narrow gate and the narrow path that lead to salvation, God’s Kingdom. Jesus counsels us to enter by the narrow gate, so we avoid destruction – the loss of what should have been or could have been!

The ancient Egyptians had amazing rituals associated with their concept of life after death and the hurdles they believed they had to magically overcome in order to attain eternal life.

A live message for those who love and live the scriptures.

John’s vision of the Lamb of God, Lord of Hosts, was too fantastical for the religious leaders of the time to accept. From their perspective it was blasphemous, and contradicted the scriptures. Their view of the Messiah, and God, was limited by their traditional understanding. They could not conceive of two divine beings who were both God — the Word and the Father. Nor could they accept that the Word, the one through whom the Father created all things, became Jesus the Messiah. So let’s examine the evidence. How are we to understand, as John did, the Lamb of God, the Lord of Hosts?
