Spreading God's Good News
Sermons on Jerusalem
This sermon begins with a historical overview of the activities dealt with in the Book of Ezekiel. An expansive timeline is featured in the pdf-file of graphics accompanying the audio. There is a substantial treatment on the thorny subject of “Once-Saved-Always-Saved” (aka “Can You lose your “saved” status”?), drawing on the unexpected source in Ezekiel. […]
The first 11 minutes are devoted to setting the scene leading to Chapter 17, establishing the context for the material. This effectiveley summarises the 16 chapters that have gone before in the 11 previous sermons. Part of this is the change of role of Ezekiel – not a priest as expected, but a full-blown prophet! […]
Pastor Barry began with a brief recap of the nature of the book and earlier sermons. He then launched out into what is dealt with in Chapter 16 verses 27 onwards. The parallels with today are striking! Judgement was (is) long overdue. Various features of the content are noted: the faithful were removed before judgement […]
Pastor Barry here returns to the study of the Book of Ezekiel. First there is a recap of the overall theme of the book and the material presented about the previous 15 chapters. Next there is examination of the behaviour of the Jews, falling into the despicable practices of the neighbouring countries. It is a […]
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.

Also the Stature of Ezekiel exhibiting excellence in his prophetic role and the intensity of the content of the book (“not to be studied until reach age of 30”) were stressed. Ezekiel doesn’t just talk, he acts, he […]
In this teaching, given on 2nd March 2025, Pastor Barry concludes our study of Romans 11:28-36, emphasising its critical role in understanding God’s plan for the Jews, Gentiles and what awaites us in these last days. Paul’s assertion that Israel’s current spiritual blindness is temporary, and a future restoration assured, is not merely his opinion, but […]
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 […]
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 […]
