]]> Jesus said that tradition undermines God’s Word – Matt 15:6. But sadly, because of tradition people miss out on incredible truths and blessings found in the Word of God. Tradition blinds people and builds up walls against the truth,;so much so, that people will vehemently defend their tradition over the truth! This is never truer than in regard to the Christmas narrative.

The story of Christmas doesn’t begin 2000 years ago in a manger in Bethlehem, the origin of Christmas can be traced back to before the foundation of the world!

Join with pastor Barry in this, the first part of a two-part series, looking at the hidden treasures that can be found in the Christmas story we all think we know!

 

May you be blessed and encouraged by this study.

]]> This topical study on Pentecost – the birth, mandate and hope of the Church – was given by Pastor Barry Forder on 31st May 2020 (Pentecost 2020) as part of our family service.

Pentecost, the Feast of Harvest, had been celebrated by Jews for centuries, but then in A.D. 32, the year of the Resurrection of Jesus, the reason and purpose of this Jewish festival suddenly and dramatically saw the light of day. Just as Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Firstfruits had, for over a millennium, concealed the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus – in a nutshell, the Christian gospel – the Jewish Feast of Harvest had concealed the unthinkable! An assembly of all people from all nations  – Gentiles included – presented as a voluntary offering to God, refined and purified, of the firstfruits of the earth… The Church!

In this study, we look at the details contained in the Torah regarding this feast and see how they foretold the birth of the Church, the spiritual cleansing and purification of the Bride of Christ, her mandate to be witnesses, and the hope of the future gathering into His barn of the Church.

May you be blessed and encouraged by this study.
