   Number 1: The Christadelphians:#21 'Why should i not be baptised?'

   [Actual, provable Bible Truth] We delve into a truly thought-provoking question that lies at the very heart of the Gospel: "Why should I not be baptised?" This presentation is an outstanding expositional journey through the Scriptures, revealing the divine thread of a coming Kingdom and a King who will reign in righteousness. We explore the profound promises made to Abraham and David, and see how they find their ultimate fulfilment in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is not merely history; it is the insightful blueprint of God's purpose with the earth. The narrative takes us from the prophetic blessings upon Judah, through the unwavering covenants, to the spectacular vision of Daniel. We witness the kingdoms of men, represented by the great metallic image, and the wonderful stone—cut out without hands—that will smash the old world order and establish a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. This stone is Christ, the King to whom all authority belongs. The exposition of Daniel's interpretation is simply outstanding, revealing the certain sequence of history and the glorious climax awaiting us. The presentation culminates in a powerful, scripture-filled anthem for the coming age. We witness the King on His throne in Zion, bringing peace, justice, and the knowledge of God to all nations. This is the hope that sustained the faithful for millennia and it is the reality we are called to embrace. This video is more than a study; it is a revealing call to understand our place in God's grand design and to respond to the King who is coming. **Chapters:** 00:00 - Introduction: The Question of the King 01:22 - The Promise to Judah: He Whose Right It Is 03:19 - The Covenant with Abraham: The Promised Seed 04:15 - The Royal Promise to David: An Everlasting Throne 06:31 - The Hope in Babylon & Daniel's Vision 08:45 - Daniel Interprets the King's Dream 11:08 - The Kingdoms of Men Revealed 13:08 - The Stone: Christ the King 16:05 - A Symphony of Scripture: The Kingdom Established 24:12 - Conclusion: The Call to Action **Bible Verse Category:** 📖 Genesis 49:10 📖 Genesis 22:17-18 📖 2 Samuel 7:12 📖 1 Chronicles 17:14 📖 Ezekiel 21:27 📖 Daniel 2:44 📖 Matthew 21:42 📖 Acts 3:21 📖 2 Samuel 23:3-5 📖 Psalm 89:26-27 📖 Psalm 72 📖 Isaiah 9:6-7 📖 Isaiah 24:23 📖 Isaiah 2:3-4 📖 Jeremiah 3:17 📖 Jeremiah 23:5-6 📖 Zechariah 14:9 📖 Luke 1:32-33 📖 Matthew 16:27 📖 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 📖 Revelation 5:9-10 📖 Revelation 20:6 📖 Revelation 11:15-18 **Tags:** Christadelphians, Bible Truth, Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ, Prophecy, Daniel, Baptism, Biblical Exposition, End Times, Second Coming, Gospel, Bible Study, Faith, Hope, Salvation, Israel, King David, Abrahamic Covenant, Stone Kingdom We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

   Number 2: “BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO is not offended in me …” Luke 27:23

   As usual, all our chapters are full of meaningful lessons: first, Hezekiah after his life is extended 15 years is succeeded by a 12 yr old son, Manasseh who turns out to be a very bad king. We wonder about the role of Hephzibah, his mother in this. The spirituality of whom we marry is very important. Her name is apparently of Phoenician origin, meaning, ‘delight of Baal.’ Again the spirit takes Ezekiel to Jerusalem and gives him insight into God’s reaction because of his full awareness of the minds of those living there. God always has such knowledge! Awesome! Ezekiel learns, “But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.” [Ch. 11 v.21] And today? In Luke (Ch. 7) we read how messengers come to Jesus from John the Baptist. Our Lord has been doing many remarkable miracles, but when he brings to life again a young man who is being carried out to his burial, “fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, ‘A great prophet has arisen among us!’ and ‘God has visited his people!’ And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country. The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” [v.16-19] The way Jesus answers him is instructive – and challenging! John evidently had certain expectations of the Messiah’s work – and what was happening did not fit these. We look back at ch. 4 and see how Jesus quoted from a scroll of Isaiah when in the Synagogue, v.17-19. It is now instructive to note how Jesus responds to these messengers, “”Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” [v.22-23] He is telling John to check out and “believe all that the prophets have spoken”! These are the words of Jesus we will read in ch. 24 v.25, when, after his resurrection he speaks to 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus. This is a lesson for us as we anticipate the return of our Lord and our expectations are increasing! We must take a lesson from the quandary of John the Baptist and look to “all that the prophets” have written! Are they not like pieces of a jigsaw! We have more and more pieces that seem to fit, but there are still others we are not sure about: events yet to come, maybe very soon, will make the picture clearer and clearer.

   Number 3: The Canadian C-9 Bill what it means for Christians with Bible Scholar Ted Hodge.

   A @Christadelphians Video: [Prophecy being fulfilled!] In this thought-provoking and revealing episode of the Watchman Report, we examine Canada’s Bill C-9—a law that, on the surface, addresses rising anti-Semitism, yet in reality places believers in a more precarious position. Could this be another sign that secular society is moving further from God, Christ, and the Bible? We provide an insightful and expositional analysis of this legislation, exploring how the removal of the religious defence for "wilful promotion of hatred" could potentially criminalise the very expression of biblical truth. This is an outstanding and wonderful resource for those seeking to understand how current events align with scriptural prophecy.*Summary*Join us as we dissect the Canadian government's Bill C-9, which came into effect in July 2026. While it includes positive steps to combat anti-Semitism, we reveal the alarming removal of the "good faith" religious defence. We discuss the ambiguity of new definitions like "detestation" and "vilification," and ask the crucial question: does this law threaten the believer's ability to publicly declare the whole counsel of God? We break down the biblical standard on hate, demonstrating that God hates wickedness while still loving the sinner, and we challenge the government's narrowing of what constitutes acceptable speech. This is essential viewing for every Bible student.*Chapters*00:00 - Introduction & The Watchman Report Mandate00:46 - Examining Bill C-9: The Good and the Bad01:39 - New Hate Crime Offences Listed02:19 - The Removal of the Religious Defence03:10 - The Government’s New Definition of Hatred04:23 - Applying the Law: Leviticus 20:1305:46 - The "Hallmarks of Hate" Examined07:19 - The Scriptural Teaching on Hate08:36 - Government Position & The Believer's Response09:48 - Conclusion & Call to Action*📖 Bible Verse Category*- 📖 Leviticus 20:13 – The scripture dealing with abomination.- 📖 Psalm 5:5 & 11:5 – God hates wickedness and the wicked.- 📖 Psalm 139:21-22 – The believer’s hatred of evil.- 📖 Matthew 5:44-45 – Loving our enemies.- 📖 John 3:16 – God’s love for the world.**Tags**Bible Prophecy, Bill C-9, Canada, Religious Freedom, Hate Speech Laws, Christadelphian, Watchman Report, Biblical Standard, Prophecy Fulfilled, Secularism, Christian Persecution, End Times, God’s Law, Truth, Bible StudyWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

   Number 4: Thought for September 9th. “HIS MERCY IS FOR THOSE WHO …”

   What a depressing account we have today in 2 Kings 15! It lists a succession of godless kings in the northern kingdom of Israel and makes us think of the world in which we live! If we listen to or watch the news – there is a complete lack of good news on every hand – so it seems that people ‘bury’ their minds in the sports news. Similarly, in Ezekiel 5, we read the acted parables the prophet has to perform to indicate how “fire will come out into all the house of Israel” [v.4] and the LORD’s comment in v.13, “Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them …” And we meditate with awe and fear in our minds on the ways the Creator will vent his fury more and more on the utterly godless world of the 21st Century. In contrast, it is uplifting to read the 80 verses of the first chapter of Luke. The author says that “it seemed good to me … having followed all things closely for some time past to write an orderly account … that you may have certainty …” [v.3,4] Through Luke’s writings, we, in these last days, “may have certainty” too! After compiling his gospel Luke put together an orderly account of the Acts of the Apostles after their Lord ascended to heaven. This contained so many historical references that the sceptics of the 19th and 20th Centuries were sure they would uncover flaws in Luke’s records as more and more ancient details came to light through archaeological and other discoveries – but none have come to light! What Luke has recorded includes major planks for the foundations of our faith. Today’s chapter includes the testimony of Mary before Jesus was born, she was inspired to say how her “spirit rejoices in God my Saviour” and that “his mercy is for those who fear him” [v.47,50]. May we truly rejoice and “fear him” – that is – be in awe of him. We especially pray that we may experience his mercy and gain strength from him as our godless world disintegrates more and more in coming days, months and years – if years yet remain? We are going to have a need to even more earnestly take to heart the words of the Master, “and when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place …” [Luke 21 v.9] May we all fully realise and know in our hearts that “his mercy is for those who fear him – but who learn – not to fear the world!

   Number 5: Thought for September 4th. “OUR INNER NATURE IS BEING RENEWED DAY BY DAY”

   This statement by Paul in today’s readings [2 Cor. 4 v.16] really sums up what we aim to achieve by reading portions of God’s word every day. Of course this depends on the spirit with which we read. Many face the challenge each day of finding adequate time to read; and then have little or no time for meditation on what they have read. But it is important to make an effort to do this for it multiplies in our minds the effectiveness of our reading. In this ever more godless world many have times of difficulty and frustration to face and overcome. Note what Paul says next; “for this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison” [v.17]. Nearly all have some positive things in their daily experiences and if we highlight these in our minds they are invaluable in preventing worldly concerns from dominating our thoughts. It is God’s word that helps most of all – but that depends how we read it, how receptive our minds are – what we look for! We try to demonstrate this in the daily thoughts we circulate. We all experience things which tend to frustrate us, but Paul says, “we do not lose heart” [v.16] and, as we see his list of afflictions, ours are nothing in almost every case! The reason why Paul did not lose heart was because he did not look on “the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” [v.18] Let’s try harder to follow his way of thinking. We have climbed a few mountains in our younger days and, for much of the time we climbed surrounded by clouds, but then, suddenly there is a break in the clouds and we realise both how much we have climbed, but greater still, we marvel at the vista of the distant scene that suddenly unfolds. Is not progress in the believer’s life like this? Now Jeremiah is an exception to the general experience of “light affliction” and as we completed reading his Lamentations today we noted his lament; “we get our bread at the peril of our lives …the joy of our hearts has ceased” [5 v.9,15] and we think this could be happening at times to some of our brethren in Iran and in one or two parts of Africa and maybe, even amongst those in Sri Lanka whom the Govt there is trying to force to return to their homeland. For all these, Paul’s words are really full of meaning and it is vital and they know it is vital that their “inner nature is being renewed day by day.” They may sometimes feel somewhat as Paul felt, “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair … struck down, but not destroyed” [4 v.8,9] Let us include them in our prayers – sensing how it helps in the renewal of our own inner nature, remembering what we read in ch. 1, v.11.
