This 2000 evening program, He is Coming, Are We Ready?, delivered by Brother John McConville, is a stirring reminder of the nearness of Christ’s return and the urgency of preparation. The exhortation begins with the certainty that Jesus will come and reign on the earth, then asks the piercing question each disciple must face: are we ready to meet him? The lecture warns against complacency, apathy, and the subtle pull of the world’s values, urging listeners to remain separate from unbelief and to be steadfast in faith. With vivid reflections on prophecy, judgment, and the transformation to come, this program inspires believers of all ages to see themselves as temples of the living God and to let His light shine in their lives. It closes with a vision of the dramatic events at the Mount of Olives, when Christ and the saints will stand together, bringing peace and righteousness to a world in turmoil. The call throughout is clear—make the hope real, live it daily, and be ready for the moment when he comes.

This 1998 series, A Sound Ecclesia is Built on Crucifixion, explores the vital connection between personal sacrifice and the strength of the body of Christ. Building a healthy, spiritually vibrant ecclesia begins with individuals who are willing to take up their cross, deny themselves, and live lives of service. Through the apostle Paul’s letters to Timothy, the classes highlight the qualities and practices that sustain faith, nurture unity, and protect the household of God. The message is clear: only when brothers and sisters crucify self-interest and live in selfless devotion can the ecclesia truly reflect the love of God and the example of Christ.

This series of exhortations explores the letter to the Ephesians with a focus on how God’s power shapes, sustains, and transforms our daily lives. Brother John McConville leads us through Paul’s inspired message, showing how believers are called into a life of strength, growth, and unity in Christ. Each class emphasizes the practical outworking of faith, encouraging us to see the exceeding greatness of God’s power at work in us, molding us into his children and equipping us to live with purpose, love, and perseverance.

This 1981 series, Christadelphian Family Life, examines the divine pattern for family relationships and shows how the principles of God’s Word apply within the home. Brother John McConville carefully develops how the roles of father, mother, husband, wife, and children each reflect the character of God, and how a Christ-centered household becomes the foundation for a strong ecclesia. Throughout the series, practical instruction is combined with scriptural examples to guide families in nurturing faith, love, and unity.

This powerful series explores what it truly means to take up the cross and follow Jesus. Far more than words, discipleship is shown as a complete surrender of life, where our choices, priorities, and service reflect the example of our Lord. Each class unfolds a deeper dimension of this calling, from the compassion we show to others, to the endurance of suffering, to the assurance and hope that only God can provide. These lessons invite every listener to embrace the cross not as a symbol of loss, but as the path to life in Christ.
