The Bible Standard - Discover the Truth. (By Christadelphianvideo.org)

The PRESENTATION explores the concept of the “Third Heaven” as described in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, suggesting it represents the ultimate purpose of God beyond the Millennium and the Kingdom Age. It discusses biblical passages that hint at the nature of the Third Heaven, contrasting it with the Kingdom Age, and emphasises the significance of a future state where death and sin are eliminated, allowin...

#5 A @Christadelphians Video: Description: It is through all of these events, that the women feature with their extraordinary devotion to the Lord. The Lord Jesus has achieved the work. As the saviour he is seated on the right side of the throne of God. Following his work, there is now a separation between Christ and his disciples. It is now “your Father and my Father”. We all hope to be given imm...

The drama of Moses in the mountain and then in dealing with those who made the golden calf is now in the past. We read today of preparations for making the Tabernacle: everyone had brought away from Egypt items of value – remember what you read in Ch. 12 v,35,36! “They plundered the Egyptians.” Moses appeals to the people, “Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the LORD’s contribution: gol...

Among the Corinthians there was a misunderstanding in relation to the responsibility of the need to make judgments on disputes between believers. They were taking their fellow believers before the bench for decisions. So Paul urged them in this 6th chapter to settle the issue among themselves. He said that the time would come in the kingdom when the worldly authorities would be ruled by the saints...

#4 A @Christadelphians Video: Description: While Jesus was taken away to be crucified, and on the cross, he interacted with many different people. Some of them loved him; some hated him; others were doing their job, incidentally providing unintended witness to the fact that he was Israel’s king and high priest. These encounters show Jesus’ care for his mother, his compassion for the suffering that...

The life story of Moses is remarkable, only after being a shepherd for 40 years in Midian was he called by God to serve him.  He then had the drama of the plagues and his inter-action with Pharaoh.  The dramatic crossing of the Red Sea and the quaking mountain and 40 days on the summit are naturally seen as the highlights of his life story.  But something totally special was in store for him and w...

The letters to the Corinthians are the most autobiographical of all Paul’s letters. In this 4th chapter of the first letter we learn that Paul was being severely criticised by his detractors, of whom there were many. He started by telling us that he was scrupulously honest and in money matters above reproach. This didn’t by any means justify him – it will be our Lord Jesus Christ who will justify...

#3 A @Christadelphians Video: The Roman and Jewish leaders are involved in the trials of Christ. Then location of the various trials is considered. While Pilate is willing to let Jesus go, the Jewish leaders are determined to put him to death.

#2 A @Christadelphians Video: When Jesus and his disciples arrive in the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter, James and John are specially mentioned. The Gardens of Eden and Gethsemane are compared and watchfulness is heightened.

Exodus 33 is broken into 3 sections – verses 1-6 the command to leave Sinai; verses 7-11 the tent of meeting; and verses 12-23 Moses’ prayer of intercession for the angel of the presence to accompany Israel on its journey. The first three verses deal with the command to leave Sinai – itself being a stepping stone for the fulfilling of the Abrahamic promise; and talking of their final destination,...

 Today we began reading Paul’s letters to the Corinthians.  Corinth was a centre of Greek learning and Greek wisdom.  Winning converts was a challenge  – a quite different kind of challenge to winning converts among the Jews.  Today’s world with its atheism and humanism is yet another kind of challenge – yet there are parallels – and what Paul wrote applies just as much.  “The word of the cross is...

#1 A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Jesus, like his fellow disciples, exhibited true love and humility by serving them, and established a meal of remembrance. His deep spiritual profundity had developed through his Father’s regular contact. Setting his face to confront betrayal and the horror of his death, he needed all the help his Father could give him, sustaining and comforting him.

What causes belief – real conviction? Well, it depends what you want to believe; what you need to believe! If someone cries ‘Fire’ – you lose no time in acting to verify the cry is genuine – and seeing what you can possibly do in helping to put it out. Our thoughts were triggered along these lines as we read today in  Mark 15  that “the chief priests and scribes mocked him to one another, saying,...

Exodus 31 tells of the two skilled craftsman divinely equipped for the construction of the Tabernacle – Bezaleel (his name means “in the shadow of the Almighty”); and Aholiab (his name means “my Father’s tent”). Bezaleel was skilled in metalworking. He made the furniture for the Tabernacle. Bezaleel is a type of the Messiah, as Moses tells us in the entirety of the 91st psalm. Aholiab had responsi...

Exodus 30 tells us of the altar of incense. Its dimensions and the materials of which it was made. Verses 1-10 tells us that it was a box made of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Around the top of the golden box was a crown of gold. Identical language is used for the protective parapet that was on the roof of every Jewish house – indicating that like the altar of incense the house was dedicated to...

A @Christadelphians Video: The Atonement is one of the most amazing themes of the Bible, for it is "the power of God unto salvation". God reveals His wisdom and love for us in providing the Lord Jesus Christ who would not only uphold His righteousness, but be the basis for our forgiveness and redemption. Yet all of this must be more than just a set of principles - rather it must compel u...

Today we read a most moving and personal prayer of David. It begins, “Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life for I am godly.” [ Psa. 86 ] Can we pray as David did? But in what sense are we poor and needy? Many might say this today, but not mean it in the sense we think David did, In his prayer he said, “O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a ban...

Today we travel on highways, freeways and motorways.  Different countries call them different names. These allow us to travel at speed to our destinations. Our thoughts “raced” along these lines as we read  Psalm 84  and the words he addressed to God, “Blessed are those whose strength is in you and in whose heart are the highways to Zion” [v.5]  Let us all create a “highway” in our heart for godly...

Exodus 29 outlines the consecration of the priests. The early verses describe the offerings that were required when the priests were consecrated. Verses 5-9 point out that Aaron and his sons were to be dressed in their holy robes of office for their induction into their roles. Verses 10-14 indicate that the priests were to place their hands upon the bull to be slain, as a sin offering. This was in...

Exodus 28 describes the clothing of the priests and of the High priest. The clothing of Aaron and his four sons was, verse 2, for glory and for beauty since they were the LORD’s representatives. These garments were skilfully embroidered by Aholiab, whose name means “from the Father’s tent”. John Thomas wrote about these clothes one and a half centuries ago saying, that what the High Priest wore on...

Can we know some sayings of Jesus too well?  It is possible to get to know some things so well that we cease to let them dwell in our thoughts very much – moving on to what we may see as more profound matters. We wonder who the unnamed scribe was who came to Jesus – having heard his fellow scribes were “disputing with one another” after Jesus “answered them well” [Mark 12 v.28] as we read today.  ...

Exodus 27 describes the first item of furniture encountered by the worshippers upon entering the courtyard of the Tabernacle. It is the bronze altar on which the sacrifices are placed. This teaches us that the first need of anyone who wants salvation is for the LORD to provide a redemptive sacrifice. It was made of bronze speaking of purified flesh – our Lord Jesus Christ offered himself, as a sin...

Highlights🔍 The presentation discusses the significance of the phrase "the man who was raised up on high" in the last words of David, and how it refers to the...
