This sermon has the major theme of God’s Timing – things that are pre-ordained are not to happen before their appointed time. Jesus kept a low profile, not wanting to draw attention to himself, until, again, the right time.So Jesus wasn’t just doing things at random, like many Christians do.Jesus wasn’t just a random person, […]
Pastor Barry continues with the exposition, working through chapters 9 & 10. Before getting down to detail, though, there is a substantial commentary on present-day behaviour of various sections of our society and comparison with the things that Ezekiel was told to warn Israel about.
