The Harsh God of the Old Testament
Many people believe that the Old Testament presents a God of wrath in contrast to the New Testament that presents a God of Love. In this sermon Mr. Smith shows that when you look at the Old Testament in detail you also see God's love. One of the most common examples of this is that most of the prophecies that showed God was about to bring punishment also contained promises of future restoration and forgiveness.
Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area.
