A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Is there a difference between 'Christ in us' and 'Us in Christ', and does it matter? Scripture shows us that there is a clear difference, both technically and in the scriptural significance of the phrase. The Bible explains about Christ in us and why it matters, and how it reveals a wonderful message of salvation for all believers, and the privilege that we...

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary The PRESENTATION by Mark Johnson explores the concept of atheism and the "leap of faith" that atheists must make regarding their beliefs. It begins by defining atheism and distinguishing it from agnosticism, before delving into the origins of the universe and life. Johnson discusses the scientific method and the challenges atheists face in explaining existence...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Bible affirms that God is One. The Son of God has a united purpose with his Father from whom emanates the Holy Spirit which empowered the Son to overcome sin to save us. # Summary The presentation by Kevin Sweeney discusses the concept of God as presented in the Bible, specifically addressing the doctrine of the Trinity, which posits that God exists as t...

Today’s 4th chapter of Matthew contains the account of Jesus being tempted after being “led up by the Spirit into the wilderness” (ch. 4 v.1)  This opening verse arrests the attention of diligent readers. It seems astonishing that God’s Spirit brought about Christ’s temptations.     Jesus, now that “the Spirit of God” had come “to rest on him” [3 v.16] is first tempted to use that power to create...

What does the LORD know?  Again and again Scripture makes the point that the Creator is aware of all things “for the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer” as we read in 1 Peter 3 v.12 last month.  But Peter was quoting from Psalm 34 which we will soon read.  The very first Psalm, which we read today, sees David affirming,  “For the LORD knows  the way of the...

Today we read the final chapters in both the Old and New Testaments.  Both describe in graphic (and fairly symbolic) detail the final climax of world history.  Malachi in particular says, “the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and evildoers will be stubble.” [4 v.1]  But what should concern us most, are the principles God uses in accepting human beings – whether he grants...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Jews and Arabs have long disputed ownership of the land presently called Israel. Here is a talk on what the Bible says about it. # Summary In this video, the speaker addresses the complex and contentious issue of land ownership in Palestine, particularly in light of biblical teachings. Beginning with a disclaimer that the discussion is not politically charge...

After Malachi, the last book in the Old Testament was written, there was silence; no inspired message from God until John the Baptist came on the scene 400 years or so later.  No wonder John attracted so much attention.  Through Malachi God again predicted the coming of Jesus, his special messenger, but Jesus states that John had also been predicted [Luke 3 v.15] in the words we will read in Malac...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: An interesting look at Moses as the prophet that God spoke to “mouth-to-mouth.” God, through Moses, foretold many things regarding God’s plan to bring the Jewish nation back into their own land and to send Jesus Christ back to the earth to judge Israel and the nations. # SummaryThe presentation by Monroe James Larsen delves into the prophecies of Moses conce...

As one debates in one’s thoughts the most likely way some of the symbolic language of Revelation is best understood there can be no doubt that today’s chapters (17 & 18) clearly portray the collapse of a great – and false – religious system.   It is described as a ‘prostitute’ (AV – harlot). “A “voice from heaven” [18 v.4,5] says, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, le...

Real Places in the Bible #7 'Bethany'

All too often the prophets of the LORD had to bring messages of coming acts of judgement from him..  These, , were predictions that were sure and certain.  What a ‘burden’ this is for the prophet. The  Hebrew word for ‘burden’ has the primary meaning of a pronouncement of doom to someone, all too often, to Israel..  Yet Zechariah’s prophecy has many parts but who can say with any certainty how all...

Jesus is the good shepherd – and in this world of sin and death (Romans 5 v.12) how urgent it is to find and hear the voice of the good shepherd.  There have been many shepherds over the Centuries that have been good up to a point; for example, David, Solomon, Elijah and Hezekiah – and in recent Centuries, men of the calibre of Tyndale may well qualify. But they have been far outnumbered by worthl...

In the Old Testament we read how often there were bad kings on the throne in Jerusalem that corrupted the people, or were corrupt because of the people, kings like Manasseh, yet God – from our human perspective – kept delaying in acting to destroy the Holy City and its Temple. Then in the New Testament Jesus wept over Jerusalem and forecast its destruction and that of the Temple.  Yet 40 years ela...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: This presentation gives the Bible’s case for what is happening and is going to happen in the Middle East, and specifically regarding Israel and God’s people the Jews. The Bible outlines the background of Middle East conflict from a historical point of view. God predicted what would happen to His people because of their disobedience. When Jesus Christ returns...

A @Christadelphians Video: Everyone knows that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Hardly anyone knows what this means. The phrased "Son of God" is explained to us in several passages in the New Testament; it also appears in the Old Testament. Luke 1:35 tells us that Jesus is called the Son of God because he has no human father, but was born as the result of a miracle, the power of God acting on Jesus...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Everything written in the Bible is for our learning. The tabernacle was a school master for Israel to bring them to Christ and guide them to the way of the tree of life. The cherubim in the different visual forms represent the outworking of God’s plan and purpose with men through the Lord Jesus Christ. God wants to dwell in the midst of his people, so we can...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible in Genesis when Abraham meets Melchizedek the King Priest of Jerusalem. Later on, Christ prophesied about the sacking of Jerusalem by the Romans. In our time Jerusalem is once again under Jewish control. In the future, Jerusalem will become the centre of religious worship, under Christ who will return to earth to rule the...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The latter day prophecies & many wars are focused on Jerusalem, many religious groups claim Jerusalem of their holy sites. It is still not recognised internationally, with many still are living in refugee camps. God has a plan and he will cause Jerusalem to be the capital of the world. # Summary The video discusses the prophecies found in the Bible, part...

As we pondered the symbolic language of our Lord Jesus in his final message – a revelation given through his beloved disciple John – we were struck by the many different ways God has ultimately punished and destroyed those who have no time for him – often after a long period of grace looking to see in them a change of heart. There are two classes of people who suffer his punishment.  First, those...

“Who  is worthy  ….?”  This is a key question for us in our readings in the book of Revelation today.  In reading this final book in God’s word, our minds can get ‘bogged down’ in debating the meaning of individual details, but it is spiritually invaluable to gain the overall spirit – and wonder – of this final message/vision which our Saviour – has given to us. We have come to think of the vision...

Job’s friends have given up reasoning with him!  This is good, their point of view was a sort of tunnel vision arising from their conviction that his woes were the result of some concealed misbehavior on his part.   Job now switches his thoughts more fully to perceptions of God and his ways – his thoughts are highly interesting to say the least.. It is evident that in his era there was extensive m...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: King Manasseh was a king who set about hating God and trying to fight against Him and His prophecies. He brought great evil and idolatry into the nation of Judah. Despite this, God still worked with him. He caused the Assyrians to take Manasseh captive to the city of Babylon. While Manasseh was in prison, he prayed to God, God heard him, and was released and...
