Genesis, John

This second section of chapter 1 continues the elaboration of the fundamentally divine nature of Jesus the Messiah. Many small items in scripture add up to a magnificent interlocking edifice of evidence to the supernatural, long-timespan, matrix of paths to the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus. Pastor Barry told us the […]

John

This is the first study in our verse-by-verse expositional study of the Gospel of John. Some have tried to say the Bible never claims that Jesus is God. This gospel was written as an intentional defense of the fact that Jesus is God, manifest in the flesh, Who came to reveal the Father to us. […]

Ruth

Having gone verse-by-verse through the Book of Ruth, in this session we look at the models that God had intentially woven into the naritive of this incredible book. We will see how the story itself is a model of the gospel; how Naomi is a type of Israel, Ruth a type of the Church, Boaz […]

Ruth

In this study we continue over verse-by-verse joutney through the book of Ruth. It has been said that this book stands out like a diamond on a black cloth, ‘a beautiful day in the midst of a season of storms’. Spurgeon said “The Book of Ruth is like a lovely flower in a garden of […]

Romans

Has God finished with Israel? That’s the question Paul asks in Romans chapter 11. His emphatic answer should put an end to the debate, yet sadly, antisemitism has been as rife in the Christian church through the centuries as it has in the world. Here, Paul not only makes his case from scripture, but warns […]

Romans

In Romans chapter 10, the Apostle Paul states that ‘faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God’. To put it another way, the Word of God causes us to hear, to perceive, to understand. It gives us an understanding of who God is, of what He’s done, of His faithfulness to the […]

Romans

In this study we look at one of the most foundational, and yet divisive topics in scripture, the Nation of Israel. It is a topic we cannot ignore! From Genesis 12 to Acts 2, the Nation of Israel is the major theme of the Bible; and we cannot escape the fact that Jesus was Jewish, […]

Romans

This teaching on Romans 8:18-39 was given by pastor Barry on 1st December 2024. In this study we conclude Romans 8 – one of the most incredible chapters in the Bible! What does it mean to be saved? How secure is our salvation? Is there anything that can separate us from the love of God? […]

In this study our guest speaker, Ivan Santos, from Disciples Church, Leatherhead, brings a message entitled ‘The Eternal Gospel’. What is the Gospel? Was it ‘plan B’ following the Fall?

***Apologies… There was a problem with the audio quality of this recording*** In this study of Romans chapter 8:7-17 we continue looking at Paul’s teaching on how it is possible to live the Christian life, not by our own good intentions or will power (that will only end in failure and disappointment), but by the […]
