Mid-Atlantic Christadelphian Bible School (2010)

The series If God Be For Us, delivered in 2010, explores the depth of God’s care, the importance of trust, and the life-changing call to live faithfully under His guidance. With warmth, relatable illustrations, and heartfelt exhortations, these talks invite listeners to see God’s hand in all circumstances, to rely on His wisdom rather than their own, and to respond to His mercy with humility, forgiveness, and service. Each class blends biblical insight with everyday application, urging us to let God truly be in charge of our lives.

The Biggest Little Word in the Dictionary

This opening class examines the profound impact of a single, seemingly small word—“if”—in shaping our relationship with God. It challenges us to consider the conditions of God being “for us” and how our choices, priorities, and willingness to submit to His will directly affect His favor toward us.

Tell God Every Detail of Your Needs

Drawing from Scripture and personal stories, this class encourages a life of prayer that is both honest and specific. It reminds us that God desires us to share every concern with Him, trusting that He not only hears but cares deeply about the details of our lives.

Make Your Own Copy

Using the example of Israel’s kings who were commanded to write out their own copy of God’s law, this class urges us to make God’s Word deeply personal. By engaging with Scripture directly, we shape our hearts and minds to align with His ways, making His guidance a living force in daily life.

Be Clothed with Humility

Here we are reminded that humility is not weakness but strength under God’s control. The talk explores how a humble spirit opens the way for God’s blessings, strengthens relationships, and guards against the pride that can distance us from His care.

If God Is in Charge, I’m Not

This class calls us to release our tight grip on possessions, plans, and control. With vivid illustrations, it emphasizes that everything we have belongs to God and is entrusted to us for His purposes. When we truly let Him lead, we find peace in knowing the real Owner cares more than we ever could.

The Limited Mercy of God

Closing the series, this class offers a sobering reminder that God’s mercy, though abundant, is not to be presumed upon. We are called to extend the same forgiveness to others that we seek from Him, recognizing that our own standing before God is deeply connected to how we treat those around us.
