The Quartodeciman Controversy

How did Easter with its different meaning and date calculation system come to replace the Passover in the Christian church?  In this sermon Mr. Smith goes through the historical record that proves these changes were not made by the apostles as many Bible scholars teach but came into practice over one hundred years later.

Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area. He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
Apart from pastoring, Gary enjoys hiking, playing and watching sports, reading and spending time with family.
