Richard Morgan
Modern Western culture increasingly resembles the world Paul preached to: spiritually indifferent, suspicious of religion, and filled with alternative “gods” and loyalties. Using Paul’s approach in Athens as the model, Richard Morgan emphasizes starting with what people already believe, finding limited points of contact, then moving patiently toward the Bible’s first principles, especially the one true God and the call to turn from modern idolatry. Richard stresses that effective preaching depends on understanding the audience’s worldview, building bridges without compromise, and clearly presenting what people are missing.

Jim Styles
Jim Styles delves into how we can know God and Jesus more deeply by looking at foundational truths that shape daily discipleship: God’s love and the way it changes how we live, how God calls and forms his family, and how trials function as discipline rather than mere punishment. He also explores prayer as a real part of a living relationship with God, and it uses New Testament teaching to clarify Old Testament patterns, especially how sacrifices point to the death of Jesus and God’s purpose in salvation.

David Levin
This series examines common Christadelphian clichés, misquotes, and stock phrases, showing how repeated wording can quietly shape assumptions, drift into legalism, or distort Scripture. It calls for more careful, accurate Bible language in teaching, prayer, and ecclesial culture, replacing slogans with clearer thought, better exegesis, and healthier spiritual habits.

Real-life examples of believers whose lives reflect the character of Jesus. Through short exhortation-style sketches, Rick Hill highlights faith under pressure, steadfast love, endurance through illness and loss, and the way discipleship becomes visible in service, humility, and influence on others. It also touches on coming to know Jesus later in life, learning to treat trials as tools for helping others, and nurturing childlike faith in the next generation.

Philip Sweeny
Philip Sweeny explores the Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120 to 134) as “steps” for worshippers travelling to Zion and as a parallel for the believer’s spiritual ascent from exile and sin toward God’s presence. Peter highlights recurring themes of trouble and deliverance, enduring opposition, building a God-centered household and community, watchful perseverance near the end of the journey, and the joy of unity and blessing in Zion.

George Booker
George Booker looks at Ezekiel’s temple vision and related “temple” themes to argue that the heart of the subject is not architectural speculation, but the unsearchable riches of Christ and God’s purpose to build a holy dwelling among his people. It challenges the assumption of a future millennial temple with restored animal sacrifices, treats many temple details as “uncertain” and not fellowship-defining, and redirects attention to what is spiritually essential: God’s house as a community shaped by worship, holiness, and reconciliation. Concludes with two letters to the editor that expand the discussion.

Richard Morgan
Richard Morgan's Bible-based framework for understanding demons by starting with how ancient people used the word and how Scripture engages that worldview. He cautions against both re-labeling demon language with modern clinical terms and adopting popular “spiritual warfare” readings, and instead treats the language as describing what witnesses perceived within an idolatrous culture. Using Paul’s preaching in Athens alongside Deuteronomy 32, Richard argues that “demons” in the biblical world were the small gods of paganism, tied to superstition and idol worship. From there it applies the same lens to Old Testament background and the gospel records, explaining how the Bible addresses demon language while maintaining the consistent scriptural teaching of God’s sole sovereignty.

John Owen
John Owen’s two-part series uses David’s life and psalms to illuminate Paul’s teaching in Romans, especially sin, grace, justification, and the struggle of faith. He draws connections between David’s repentance, forgiveness, and spiritual mindset and Paul’s message about living by faith, choosing God’s ways, and finding hope in God’s grace through Christ.
