This first part of the Christmas Exposition by Pastor Barry contrasts the picture presented to us by “Tradition” with the picture we see when we examine the evidence in scripture and history. The way that the wiles of Satan have been turned to good use by God are brought out in the second half of […]
The first short section is a review of Chapters 1 to 12. Pastor Barry then dealt with the false prophets that abounded in Ezekiel’s day, describing the two classes of those people.

Although we know little of Gaius, it is clear the bond between him and John was strong. But not for natural reasons; it […]
