Greetings to our webcast brethren.
The meetings this past week with the CGI council representatives were enlightening. We now have a clearer understanding of the issues and the possibilities for the future. We will be discussing possible courses of action this weekend and drafting a response to the CGI council. Your prayers for wisdom and God’s guidance would be greatly appreciated.
We will post the outcome of these discussions next week.
Thank you for your patience as we work through these matters in a calm and orderly fashion.
If you would care to watch a sermon from our video files this Sabbath you might consider a sermon about “Christianity is not Magic”

Who Should You Listen to, and Who are Your Authorities?
Refreshed Weekly Sermon – August 8th 2009
Standing in front of the former Ambassador Hall in Pasadena CA, inscribed is “The Word of God is the foundation of knowledge”, how ironic, the leadership of that previous organization departed from the basis that the Word of God is the foundation of knowledge.They thought instead that they could come up with some other things, and because they had the positions of power and due to the very hierarchical nature of the organization the leaders thought that they could speak with authority and do whatever they wished.
Should we follow leaders just because they speak with authority? Are they speaking from God’s viewpoint or are they speaking from their own? Who should you listen to and who are your authorities?
Your word is the Truth – John 17:17
Webcast this Sabbath Nov 20, Your Prayers are Requested
There will not be webcasting of a live service or bible study this Sabbath November 19-20. We hope you will take the time to profit from one of cognanaimo’s archived sermons instead as several older ones have been recently refreshed. There is an important meeting of the Church of God International taking place this weekend in Cincinnati and everyone here at cognanaimo would solicit your prayers for God’s guidance and inspiration for all the members of the Ministerial Council. We wish you all the blessings of God’s peace and comfort on his Holy Day.
Thank you,
COG Nanaimo
Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach. And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained. So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. – 2 Timothy 2:8-10
God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.” – 2 Timothy 2:19 NLT
The Real Creation: What is Life, Why is Life?
Refreshed Weekly Sermon – August 1st 2009
Alex Kennedy poses the questions: What is Life, Why is Life, Why am I here, is Humanity the result of an alien probe that went wrong? Is it a cosmic accident? Or simply an evolution from that cosmic accident? Or is it the design from a great designer?
What are You Afraid of?
Refreshed Weekly Sermon – July 18th 2009
Human beings for thousand of years have been driven by their fears. The history of humanity is written in the fear of men and women. Are you afraid of death, are you afraid of losing your job, are you afraid of an accident? Jeff Patton talks on how our fears can cripple us and our own fears can become reality. Jesus tells us to not worry about our life, what we will drink, eat, or wear. He even tells us that if we worry about it we cannot add another hour to our lives. So how do we overcome our fears?

Refreshed Weekly Sermon – July 4, 2009
Jeff Patton poses the question: Are you a spiritual seeker? Michael Jackson was, but he never found what he was looking for. What are you seeking? Is there a right way to seek God? The answers are found in the Bible, one of the answers is simple, we should seek what lasts. But what lasts, and what should we seek?
Christianity is not Magic
Refreshed Weekly Sermon – June 27, 2009
Jeff Patton talks about how Christianity is a way of life and about the two great commandments. First to love your God with all your heart, soul and mind (your being) and second to love your neighbour as yourself. Your neighbour is anyone who needs your help, not just the guy to your right or the girl to the left.
To Be a Father?
Refreshed Weekly Sermon – June 20, 2009

Canada has Forgotten the God of the Bible
Weekly Sermon – August 28th, 2010
Canada, and for that matter the western nations have collectively turned their backs on the God of the Bible, forgetting his teachings, laws and purpose for us. God has manifested his invisible nature through the creation of the world, and the things in it. Jeff Patton talks about the God of the Bible, his plan and purpose for humanity that he has put in to place before the world existed, and it will not be stopped. God through his magnificent existence is reproducing himself in mankind. Will you honour God and seek the old paths, worshiping him in Spirit and in truth?
