“Most people are familiar with the Christmas story, yet one aspect of it goes largely unnoticed—or at least unspoken. In fact, there is eight times more scripture devoted to the ‘other’ part of the story than to the ‘Baby born in Bethlehem and laid in a manger.’ Who were the wise men? Where did they […]

Romans

In this study, given on 23rd February 2025, pastor Barry continues our study in Romans chapter 11, looking at the mystery of Israel. Not only does the Apostle Paul state that Israel’s national spiritual blindness will be removed, but he tells us when it will happen, and the circumstances that will lead to it. This […]

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 this study we look at Romans ch10 vs 1- 17. In these verses Paul begins to lay out the fact that Israel had every opportunity to respond in obedience to the Word of God, but instead they ‘would not’, and so their ‘house was left unto them desolate’. (see Matt 23:37-39) Paul drives home […]

In this introduction to Romans chapter 10, pastor Barry looks from the book of Isaiah at Israel’s past, present and future and note that throughout her history, Israel has repeatedly gone from a place of blessing, to disobedience and the resulting judgment, only to then cry out to God for deliverance and once again receive His […]

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? […]

Romans

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 […]

In this study, pastor Aaron Evans (Disciples Church, Leatherhead), takes us through a verse-by-verse exposition of Romans chapter 6. What does it mean to be buried with Christ?

Romans

In this study of Romans chapter 4, we look at the basis for salvation. How can a just God justify sinful man? It doesn’t matter how good we may think we are, even our highest standard still falls short of the perfection of a holy God. None of us could earn heaven by our efforts, […]

Romans

In this study we continue our verse-by-verse study of Romans chapter 1. In this chapter Paul addresses the plight of the immoral / pagan man who has willfully rejected God, chosen to worship creation rather than the Creator, and reaped the consequences of wanting to do it ‘my way’! May you be blessed and encouraged […]
