A Christadelphian Bible School is held three times a year at Rathmines, a town in New South Wales located north of Sydney and south of Newcastle. Over the course of a week, Christadelphians from across Australia and around the world come together in friendship and fellowship, united by the word of God.

Throughout the week, a selection of speakers presents studies designed to inspire and strengthen believers as they journey toward the Kingdom of God. Evening activities typically include a mission night, a song and praise evening, and a children’s play night.

At the recent April Bibleschool, we hosted two panel discussions under the theme “Conversations in the Wilderness.” The first of these focused on the topic of discipleship.

Gary Steel attends the Riverwood church or ecclesia in Sydney and has recently published a 4 talk series on Christadelphian Video entitled:

How The Bible Can Help With Mental Health

Gary discusses his background as a believer and along with his graduate diploma in counselling he has been involved in professional development programs over many years. This interest in personal development and mental health is viewed through a scriptural lens with a view to helping people think about God and the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives.

In this conversation we discuss mental health and the Bible and explore the potential of the Bible to improve mental well-being, the concept of humility, and the distinction between poor mental health and mental illness.

Jeremy Thomas lives in the UK in Birmingham and is a member of the Christadelphian Church or ecclesia that meets at Walsall.

Jeremy is currently the assistant editor of the Christadelphian Magazine. Prior to the current role, Jeremy was the publishing editor of Testimony magazine.

Recently Jeremy has written a book that is published by the Christadelphian Magazine entitled At The Citadel In Susa.

The book cover summary reads:

The Medo-Persian Empire has left practically no written records of its own history. This surprising fact highlights the importance of two sources of information: the archaeology of Ancient Iran, and the Hebrew Bible.

Concentrating on some of the Old Testament characters of this period, and visiting some of the very places they knew, Jeremy Thomas considers the evidence for the truth of the Bible’s account. He combines a lifelong interest in the Medo-Persian Empire with information gleaned from two trips to Iran, to show that the Old Testament is a reliable record of this important period of history.

Author Jeremy Thomas. Soft cover 182 pages. Published by the Christadelphian, July 2024.

The book is available from:

Andrew and Julie Weller reside in Adelaide and are active members of the Christadelphian church or ecclesia that meets at Cumberland. For the past decade, they have dedicated themselves to supporting victims of Family & Domestic Violence, striving to raise awareness and reduce its prevalence.

In 2016, they authored a discussion paper and launched a website, HEAR BELIEVE ACT aimed at increasing awareness of Family & Domestic Violence.

In 2024, Andrew and Julie published a book titled:

Breaking the Cycle: A Scriptural Approach to Domestic Violence.

The book covers says:

Breaking the Cycle pulls back the curtain on the hidden reality of domestic violence, revealing its impact where we least expect it. This book uncovers the painful cycle that binds victims, and the subtle ways abuse takes root. We might wonder how such harm could exist in our faith community, or what Christ-like support it demands. With a Scriptural lens and the use of heartfelt stories, the authors guide readers to recognize abuse, respond with compassion and to set at liberty the oppressed. Through reflections and practical guidance, Breaking the Cycle is hopeful and empowers readers to break free from silence and be a source of light in the face of darkness.

The book is available from Amazon or at Christadelphian Tidings Books or HEAR BELIEVE ACT where you can purchase a hard copy or download a free softcopy.

The Internation version can also be downloaded from here.

Geoff Henstock lives in Adelaide and for many years has been a member of the Christadelphian church or ecclesia at Happy Valley Ecclesia.

Geoff for some time has been contemplating the significance of the way the expression “Kingdom of Heaven” as opposed to the “Kingdom of God” is used in the Gospel of Matthew. He has published a book and takes a detailed review of each occurrence of the expressions in the gospel as well as a wider biblical view of this key component of the gospel.

The book cover reads:

The Kingdom is at the very heart of the Bible. Along with the name of Jesus Christ it is one of the two key elements of the gospel message. But how would you define God’s Kingdom?

Matthew is unique in employing the phrase ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ – thirty-two times in his Gospel. No other New Testament writer uses this phrase. Why does Matthew use so distinctive a term? What is he trying to tell us? And does ‘Kingdom of heaven’ mean exactly the same as ‘Kingdom of God’?

In addressing these questions, this study examines every reference in Matthew to ‘the Kingdom’. By this methodical approach, which draws on the works of other writers who shed light on this vital topic, the author provides a detailed exposition of many of the themes and teachings in this Gospel of the Kingdom.

The book is available from The Christadelphian Scripture Study Service and The Christadelphian.
