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. Pastor Barry stressed several times the “God protects His own”. […]
In this fifth part of the examination of the Book of Ezekiel, Pastor Barry looks at some of the warnings and predictions of what is in store for Israel (and Jerusalem in particular) if they do not TURN BACK TO GOD. Comparisons with modern day events and trends are prominent in the latter half of […]
In this study of Romans chapter 14, Pastor Barry takes us through Paul’s teaching on how we as Christians should act toward each other when we disagree! It is inevitable that, within the church, there will be practices considered permissible by some but not by others, particularly (using the examples given by Paul) in relation […]

This should fill the hearts […]
In this verse-by-verse study of Romans chapter 7, given on the 27th October 24, pastor Barry looks at what the Apostle Paul taught us about the purpose and nature of the Law. It cannot make us righteous, it can only condemn. It cannot keep us from sinning, it can only awaken the sinful nature within. The Law […]
