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

Today’s readings.. (2 Chronicles 25), (Daniel 6), (Acts 5,6) Once again our readings have several lessons we can take and meditate upon and apply to ourselves.  The account of Daniel’s life jumps forward to when the Medes and Persians are in power, as with Jeremiah, the chapters are not in time order. The high esteem in which the mature Daniel is held causes jealousy and when “presidents and satra...

Today’s readings.. (2 Chronicles 24), (Daniel 5), (Acts 3,4) We felt we could have written a ‘book’ of ‘thoughts’ arising from today’s 4 chapters – each will, if read with real feeling, stir our hearts and lift them into meaningful spiritual perceptions.   In Chronicles the events in the life of King Joash contained absorbing lessons. He became king when only 7 under special circumstances, he was...

A @Christadelphians Video: You call me master and LordThe purpose of this presentation is to explore the way the Lord Jesus Christ is referred to throughout the New Testament, this exploration was stimulated by the realisation that over recent decades the Lord Jesus Christ has been ’demoted’ to simple ‘Jesus” both in general reference to our Lord in talks and also in the closing of prayers where i...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The location of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by God has two main suggestions, the more commonly accepted one being south of the Dead Sea. Here an examination is made of the archaeological evidence for Tall-el-Hammam, north-east of the Dead Sea, as a possible more likely location using evidence from the Bible in its support. The right ti...

Today we read the dramatic account of the events that followed after the disciples were empowered by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Led by Peter, they preached in such a way about Jesus, who he was and what he had done, and the terrible events to come that the hearers “were cut to the heart” [Acts 2 v.37].   The words which had pierced their conscience were, “Let all the house of Israel know f...

Today we started reading the book of Acts.  So many things in it are relevant to our efforts to serve Christ today, but it is important that we read it carefully; regrettably some do not. It begins with a summary of the final days of Jesus before he ascended to heaven “after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom he had chosen” [2]; it was a period of 40 days. (v.3) We...

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary This presentation explores the concept of being "wise" in the context of the chaotic and ever-changing world, drawing insights from the book of Daniel.

We live in an age when scriptwriters, film and video makers employ very vivid imaginations to often create pictures of impossible scenes and events.  We too can use our imaginations, but in a far more profitable way.  Let’s take examples from our readings in John today.  In Chapter 20, Mary Magdalene is weeping outside the tomb because it is empty.  Through the veil of her tears she turns around t...

These words from Zechariah’s prophecy (12 v.10) are quoted in today’s reading in John Ch. 19. John is completing his intimate account of the final hours of Jesus and the dying commission of his Master to him to look after his mother as they stood together near the cross.  John was “the disciple who he loved” [v.26]  As to the others “ they all left him and fled” [Mark 14 v.50] apart from Peter – a...

Hannani the seer spoke the above words to King Asa [2 Chron. 16 v.9] and they summarize a great Truth.  They do not mean that the LORD is constantly interfering in the affairs of human beings, but they do mean, as many other passages say ( Job 34 v.21; 1 Peter 3 v.12; Heb. 4 v.13 etc) that the Creator is aware of all that is happening.  The Book of Revelation makes it clear that his myriad of ange...

There are so many points in chapters 15 & 16 of John’s Gospel as we read it this morning that a whole book could be written (and have been written) seeking to fully draw out the lessons Jesus is teaching.  One of these is, “This is my commandment, that you love one another,  as I have loved you .” [15 v.12]  Talking about love is common in today’s world; for example, one can sing, and there ar...

Today’s and tomorrow’s chapters in John’s Gospel are two of the most meaningful in the whole of the Bible. We must not make the mistake, as sadly some do, of plucking a few of the words out of their context.  An essential theme in these chapters is to see that Jesus is talking about relationships:  firstly, his relationship with his father – and then with those who truly believe, beginning with be...

Today’s 12th chapter in John’s gospel is one of the most profound and thought challenging in the whole Bible! The atmosphere within human hearts of the choice between the broad and narrow ways was rarely so evident than in this time before the arrest of Jesus.  The Master’s challenging observations jump out at us.  The envy our Lord’s popularity generated was increasing.  The raising to life of La...
