				<title>THE GREATEST MYSTERY – PART 1</title>
				<itunes:subtitle>Pastor Barry Forder</itunes:subtitle>
				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>What if there was a mystery that spanned the ages? A mystery birthed in a Middle Eastern desert over three thousand years ago that is now determining the events of our day?</p> <p>What if I told you this mystery involves global leaders, heads of state, presidents, and many others who have all been working to a predetermined timetable? What if I could show you that this mystery has decided world events down to the year, the month and even the very day of their occurring?</p> <p>What if I showed you that everything that ever has been and all that will be are connected to and are part of this mystery?</p> <p>What if I showed you that you don’t need faith to believe this mystery, because it is etched as a silent witness into our past, present and future?</p> <p>This study, taught by pastor Barry Forder, is the first part of a series entitled “The Greatest Mystery” that will provide undeniable proof of the existence of God as revealed in the Bible, and of His working in the affairs of man throughout the ages.</p> <p>In this session, pastor Barry will lay the foundation, drawing on a number of apologetic arguments, to demonstrate the solid basis for the Christian faith. But this is only the beginning! What is to follow over the coming weeks is truly breath-taking!</p> <p>May you be blessed and encouraged by this study!</p>]]></itunes:summary>

				<title>Genesis 3</title>
				<itunes:subtitle>Pastor Barry Forder</itunes:subtitle>
				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[This teaching is our sixth session in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis by pastor Barry – given as part of our family service on 19th February 2017. In this study, as we look at Chapter 3 of Genesis, the Seed plot of the entire Bible! The first two chapters of the Bible deal with God’s wonderful creation, then we come to chapter 3. Everything after this chapter deals with fixing the problem of this chapter. We see the Fall of man and the wickedness of Satan. Satan is not God’s enemy, he is man’s. There is no match or equal to God. As we move into chapter 3, we are faced with some questions: Why was the serpent more subtle than anything God had made? Why did Eve enter into conversation with a talking snake? When &amp; why did Eve sin? Why did Adam follow Eve into sin? Why didn’t God stop Adam &amp; Eve from falling? You can listen to the audio on this web page, or save it for later listening. We have also made available Powerpoint slides (in PDF format) that outline the key points of this study. For those wanting to study further, verse-by-verse study notes are uploaded each week as part of the Pastor’s Blog section of this web-site. The Post accompanying this study is entitled “Three Words That Changed Everything!”. We hope and pray this teaching will bless you and encourage you to undertake your own personal study and adventure in God’s Word!]]></itunes:summary>

				<title>Genesis-2-120217</title>
				<itunes:subtitle>Pastor Barry Forder</itunes:subtitle>
				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[This teaching is our fifth session in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis by pastor Barry – given as part of our family service on 12th February 2017. In this study, as we look at Chapter 2 of Genesis, we see God sanctify the Sabbath, i.e. set it apart. Why was God so insistent on Israel keeping the Sabbath? In Numbers 15:32-36 we have the account of an individual who was put to death for simply gathering sticks on the Sabbath! Now, there is not a person on this planet who would say they think that is a reasonable response, yet we know that God is good and does good (Psalm 119:68). In other words, God cannot do anything that is not good. So how do we make sense of this? Later in Israel’s history, we find that God actually has Israel removed from their land for 70 years because they had failed to keep the Sabbaths for the land (every 7th year) – see 2 Chron 36:21 There is far more to the Sabbath than most are aware! As we study scripture we find there is a principle laid down here that has enormous implications. The Sabbath is about rest as opposed to work, and herein is the whole Gospel message! We also look at the creation of Eve and make some interesting discoveries! You can listen to the audio on this web page, or save it for later listening. We have also made available Powerpoint slides (in PDF format) that outline the key points of this study. For those wanting to study further, verse-by-verse study notes are uploaded each week as part of the Pastor’s Blog section of this web-site. The Post accompanying this study is entitled “The Sanctified Sabbath”. We hope and pray this teaching will bless you and encourage you to undertake your own personal study and adventure in God’s Word!]]></itunes:summary>

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[This teaching is our fourth session in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis by pastor Barry – given as part of our family service on 5th February 2017. In this study we look at the fifth and sixth day of creation, and we now find the beginning of self-replicating conscious life. This is the first time the word ‘life’ (Hebrew: ‘khah’-ee) appears in the Bible. God makes a clear distinction between non-conscious plants and vegetation, and that which has a distinct self-awareness (specifically here marine life and birds). The Biblical definition for that which is living is that which has blood. “The life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11). The number 5 in the Bible speaks of ‘grace’, and it is no coincidence that we see a connection between the 5th day, life and blood. If it were not for God’s grace being shown by the blood of His Son, none of us could have true life. We also look at the abundance of life that God creates in the waters and the air, clearly the result of design by an incredible mind and not the result of chance mutations over millions of years! Evolution is non-science and cannot offer a viable mechanism for the diversity of life, let alone the complexity of life we see around us. The Apostle Paul says that the evidence of God’s creation is so obvious that those who reject God as Creator are without excuse! (Romans 1:20). We then conclude by looking at the pinnacle of God’s creation – man, who is ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’! You can listen to the audio on this web page, or save it for later listening. We have also made available all of the Powerpoint slides (in PDF format) used by pastor Barry during this study. For further study, study notes are uploaded each week as part of the Pastor’s Blog section of this web-site entitled ‘The Beginning of Life – Day 5 &amp; 6’ We hope and pray this study will bless you and encourage you to undertake your own personal study and adventure in God’s Word!]]></itunes:summary>

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[This teaching is our third session in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis by pastor Barry – given as part of our family service on 29th January 2017. We live in a world where ‘science’ has proven that God does not exist and the Bible is nothing more than ancient folklore – right? Well, actually no. True science and the Bible will never be in disagreement because they both have the same author! As Dr Chuck Missler states, “The more you know about modern science, the more comfortable you become with the opening chapters of Genesis!” This is certainly true in regard to the ‘firmament’ that God creates on day two. The Hebrew word ‘raqia’ actually means a solid expanse. It is from the Latin word ‘firmamentum’ we get our English word that itself implies firm. As we see in this study, the ‘firmament’ is a word that describes two distinct things: firstly a ‘layer’ or ‘canopy’ that divides the water on the surface of the Earth with water that sits above, and is seemingly held in place by, this ancient water canopy that surrounded the ancient world. There is a surprising amount of scientific support for this idea. The second use of the word ‘firmament’ is to describe ‘space’. But how can space be described as ‘firm’ or a ‘solid expanse’? We see in this study that the Bible hints at something science has only recently caught up with! You can listen to the audio on this web page, or save it for later listening. We have also made available all of the Powerpoint slides (in PDF format) used by pastor Barry during this study. For further study, study notes are uploaded each week as part of the Pastor’s Blog section of this web-site.

				<title>Genesis 1 2-5</title>
				<itunes:subtitle>Pastor Barry Forder</itunes:subtitle>
				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[This teaching is our second session in our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis by pastor Barry – given as part of our family service on 22nd January 2017. Genesis is arguably the most attacked book in the Bible (Revelation comes a close second!). This should come as no surprise because Genesis not only reveals God’s plan for mankind – i.e. to walk with God in harmony – but it also exposes Satan as the enemy and deceiver of the human race. In this session we consider the ‘why?’ question. Why did God create everything anyway? We then address something called ‘The Gap Theory’, which suggests there is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, during which time there was purportedly a pre-adamic world where Satan ruled until God destroyed it. This was first proposed by a Scotsman called Thomas Chalmers in 1814 as a way to account for the supposed long geologic ages proposed by Swedenborg/Kant/Hutton/Lyell et al and to remove the perceived contradiction between ‘science’ (so called) and scripture. So, is ‘The Gap Theory’ Biblical and how old is the Earth anyway? Can we really believe the Bible which suggests a young earth when so many scientists tell us the Earth and universe are billions of years old? We also ask, when did Satan fall, and just a importantly, why did he and a third of the angels rebel against God? What could have been so important that he would give up his position as ‘the anointed cherub’? What did he hope to gain? This study then concludes with some interesting insights to challenge and encourage. You can listen to the audio on this web page, or save it for later listening. We have also made available all of the Powerpoint slides (in PDF format) used by pastor Barry during this study. For further study, detailed study notes are uploaded each week as part of the Pastor’s Blog section of this web-site. The blog accompanying this study can be found at: http://www.calvaryportsmouth.co.uk/2017/01/the-battle-for-the-earth/ We hope and pray this study will bless you and encourage you to undertake your own personal study and adventure in God’s Word!]]></itunes:summary>
