“THEN THE MEN FEARED …”      Dec. 1 Jesus spoke of “the sign of the prophet Jonah”  [Matt. 12 v.39-40] as being a sign of great significance. Jonah came forth alive from “the belly of the great fish ”.  [Jonah 1 v.17], We believe it was a special fish, one of a kind, not a sort of whale.  The text says, “ the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah”...

Today we began reading the letter the Hebrews.  Many of its verses are full of meaning!  It is important to grasp the flow of reasoning – and not to take one phrase or sentence out of its context.  The writer was most probably Paul; but since it is written primarily for the Jews – and he had fallen out of favour with many of them because he worked among the Gentiles and was converti...

Many Christians are now questioning the validity of the Genesis account and are making efforts to interpret these early chapters of Genesis to fall in line with modern evolutionary teachings.    Theistic evolution is not a scientific theory, but a range of views about how the science of general evolution relates to religious beliefs in contrast to special creation views.

"A FAMINE ... OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD" Nov. 28th "Behold, the days are coming," the Lord GOD told the prophet, as we read today in Amos ch. 8 v.11, "when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.' And what God 'sent' happened! Verse 7 is significant, "The LORD has sworn ... 'Surely I will never forget any of thei...

RUSSIA – MODERN ASSYRIA (Bro Philip Weatherall – Daventry UK) God has stated that there are three methods he has chosen to reveal his mind to us. In Hosea 12:10 he states, ‘I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.’ One such use of similitude is the way by which the characteristics of Assyria are mirrored in the relati...

2WATCH THE NEWS WITH BIBLE IN HAND ( Bro Pete Owen – Mumbles UK) “As Britain teeters on the edge of Europe and Europe looks to its east for allies, we see the work of the angels in aligning the nations before the return of the Lord. In Britain, the iron and the clay are struggling to mix as the democratic system is being tested by the desire of the iron establishment to hold onto the status quo an...

Description:  How to have faith Is the first talk of a 3-part series that examines our relationship with our Heavenly Father. God does not expect us to have blind faith. We are encouraged in the word of God to test and try all things!  Prophecy (God foretelling) the future is key to building up belief in what He’s promised us!  Search for the video of this class at www.christadelphi...

"NOTHING IS PURE"  Nov. 27 We do not know as much about Titus as we do about Timothy, but Paul left him in Crete to help the many converts there. Paul writes to him, “to Titus, my true child … in the common faith” [1 v.4]  Of course the faith was only “common” in the sense that it was becoming common to believe the message. But that brings its own problems, as some want to join a common...

BUT UNDERSTAND THIS”  Nov. 26 ` “ But understand this ,” that is how today’s reading of 2 Timothy Chapter 3 starts.  It is familiar as a chapter often used talks about “last days” events.  The chapter brings out two particular points.  First, the first verse says that there will be times of special stress, when life is perilous and this happens “in the last days”. The second si...

“WOE TO YOU WHO DESIRE …”     Nov. 25 What do you desire?   Many children will be starting to have in mind what they desire as Christmas presents!  As we continue to read the prophet Amos we note how he states, “ Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why would you have the day of the LORD?” [5 v.18]  This verse provides food for much thought.  We d...

"AND THE JOY OF JERUSALEM WAS HEARD …”  Nov. 24 We are approaching what some call ‘the silly season’!  This time next month the largely foolish frivolity of Christmas will be in full swing!   In contrast our readings today in Nehemiah describes an event of true joy.  All the efforts to make Jerusalem secure and safe to live in had been completed and Nehemiah and Ezra arran...

"THE LORD GOD HAS SPOKEN WHO CAN BUT ..."  Nov. 23 We are reading the prophecy of Amos at the moment.  We realize that the word ‘prophecy’ in many cases does not mean predicting the future, but rather messages from God about his observations and attitude toward the present state of things - with lessons taken from the past.  Amos lived in Israel’s northern kingdom and he brought the...

"PERSIST IN THIS”  Nov. 22 Paul’s letters to Timothy are very personal in parts and contain much sound advice, especially for those in a position of responsibility among believers.  True believers always need to look to the future: solving problems effectively is not achieved through emergency stop gap measures; the council in Jerusalem (Acts 15) is an example of how things should be don...

"LOVE THAT ISSUES FROM A PURE HEART"  Nov. 21 The word “love” is in common usage these days, but the way it is used and the meaning given to it, is so different to its’ use in the Bible!  Paul has “urged (Timothy) … remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine” [1 Tim. 1 v.3].  Paul advises him of the “stewardship from God that is by fait...

“LET THE WEAK SAY … “  Nov. 20 Today we completed reading the short but intensely challenging prophecy of Joel: it contains predictions which, in part, are very appropriate to the present situation in the Middle East. Today’s chapter (3) starts with, “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations … and I will enter in...

“THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING BECAUSE …”     Nov. 19 We are challenged by the way Paul uses the word “truth” 3 times in Chapter 2 of his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians. He also uses it 11 times in his letters to Timothy, which we are just about to read.  There is not much “truth” spoken today.  No one  admits anything they say is a lie, but it is a challenging questi...

“THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH” Nov. 18th Some of the verses in the final chapter of Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians are really appropriate for conditions we live in today. The chapters in Nehemiah are also full of lessons, showing his dedicated effort, despite all kinds of distraction and opposition. He led the people in overcoming these so that the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem were c...

"ESTABLISH YOUR HEARTS BLAMELESS"  Nov. 17 Several verses in the 2 chapters (3 & 4) of our 1 Thessalonians reading today are very meaningful for us as we struggle with influences that can undermine our faith.  In many ways it was a better atmosphere a few generations ago (in the western world), not only because moral standards were higher, but because the churches generally, although...

“… BUT TO PLEASE GOD”  Nov. 16 A simple – and maybe obvious point – attracted our attention as we read the first 2 chapters of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians.  What motivates us to do things?  What motivated Paul?  Today, it can be; to make money, to create an opportunity for enjoyment, some excitement – and other things which centre on ourselves. Paul makes a simple,...

"STRUGGLING ON YOUR BEHALF IN HIS PRAYERS"  Nov. 15 The wonder and reality of effective prayer confronts us in today’s readings.  Paul tells the Colossians to “continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving ... pray also for us” [4 v.2,3] Paul is imprisoned, he asks them to “remember my chains” [v.18] A believer from Colossae is with him “Epaphras, who is one of y...

"BE STRONG AND DO IT"  Nov. 14 Today we completed reading the book of Ezra.  Only the last 4 chapters were written by or for him, the first 6 are to be seen as a continuation of 2 Chronicles.   Before Ezra came, the people - led by Zerubbabel, and encouraged by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah (ch.5 v.1,2)  had rebuilt the Temple. When Ezra arrived it became plain many ha...
