  • A Shortened Time, A Passing World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,240 views

    The reordering of our priorities in the face of an impending crisis.

    A SHORTENED TIME, A PASSING WORLD. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. This is one of Paul’s ‘I say, not the Lord’ passages (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:25), meaning that he is not here directly quoting a word from Jesus. Not that his comments are uninspired, as some contend. The Apostle goes on to qualify ...read more

  • The High Priesthood Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,857 views

    A priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

    THE HIGH PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS. Hebrews 5:5-10. Jesus was called and ordained of God (Hebrews 5:5-6). The writer proceeds to prove this in a manner of Hebrew commentary which brings together two Scriptures which have a word in common: in this case “You” (singular). The first Scripture refers to ...read more

  • The Prayer Of Jesus - Part Two.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 7, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,041 views

    They Are Not of This World. Revised.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS – Part 2. John 17:11-19. JOHN 17:11. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father”). This epithet is unique, but understandable. Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (cf. John 17:17). He prays that they will be “kept through the ...read more

  • Christ The King, Our Advent Hope.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 25, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,367 views

    An everlasting kingdom.

    CHRIST THE KING, OUR ADVENT HOPE. Daniel 7:9-10; Daniel 7:13-14. Our reading in Daniel needs to be looked at within its own context: that of a dream portraying the chaos of Empire and Empire building, and the cruelty and ultimate futility of it all. In DANIEL 7:9, “thrones have been thrown ...read more

  • Abiding In His Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,223 views

    When we abide in Jesus the true vine, not only do we dwell in His love, but we also partake of His joy.

    ABIDING IN HIS LOVE. John 15:9-17. When a Christian is going through trials it may not be some temporal judgment for some particular sin, but rather that the Lord is testing them for their own improvement (Romans 5:3-5). Will we keep His commandments in the face of trials, and go on abiding in ...read more

  • A Painful Account.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,837 views

    The substitutionary character of the sacrifice of Jesus.

    A PAINFUL ACCOUNT. Isaiah 53:4-12. The repulsion evoked by the Cross of Jesus is countered by the recognition of the substitutionary character of His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:4). We may have seen Jesus as One “stricken” by God – but the toll which He was paying was not His own. No, indeed, it was ...read more

  • Who Trusts In Him Is Blessed.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,845 views

    Tasting the goodness of the LORD.

    WHO TRUSTS IN HIM IS BLESSED. Psalm 34:1-8; Psalm 34:19-22. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in ...read more

  • Introduction To The Little Apocalypse.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,968 views

    This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    INTRODUCTION TO THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-8. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of ...read more

  • Mission To Galilee. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,266 views

    Jesus goes on a purposeful walkabout in Galilee.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP. The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new ...read more

  • The Correct Treatment Of The Poor.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 27, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,152 views

    Jesus said, You have the poor always with you. Matthew 26:11.

    THE CORRECT TREATMENT OF THE POOR. Proverbs 22:1-2, Proverbs 22:8-9, Proverbs 22:22-23. We have here three pairs of poetic couplets about attitudes to the poor. It is not that the Bible is against wealth itself, or even wealthy people. King Solomon, the writer of some of these Proverbs, was ...read more

  • The Word Of God, And A Heart For God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,434 views

    This is an abbreviated version of my earlier sermon on the whole Psalm, which was entitled 'A Heart for God'.

    THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God. The LORD God has entered into a covenant relationship with mankind, and spoken to us Himself. This ‘special revelation’ is explored in the second main section of this ...read more

  • The Patience Of The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 12, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,195 views

    The longer the Lord’s delay, the more time there is for repentance.

    THE PATIENCE OF THE LORD. 2 Peter 3:8-15a. 2 PETER 3:8. Peter wishes to emphasize to his “beloved” friends that the longer the Lord’s delay, the more time there is for repentance. To the LORD a thousand years are but as a day when it is past (cf. Psalm 90:4). Yet He stretches out the day of ...read more

  • Who Will Build Whose House?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,652 views

    Solomon would build the LORD’s house, and the LORD would build the “house” (dynasty) of David.

    WHO WILL BUILD WHOSE HOUSE? 2 Samuel 7:1-11, 2 Samuel 7:16. 2 SAMUEL 7:1-4. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will. God’s purposes will never fail, but amongst men an idea is often marred by mixed motives. For example, Israel’s reason for wanting a king was that they ...read more

  • The Closing Of The Age. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 27, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,062 views

    We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful.

    THE CLOSING OF THE AGE. Mark 13:24-37. The “last days” began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:17), and the fall of Jerusalem was part of the process which culminates in the vivid cosmic happenings outlined in MARK 13:24-25. Such an occurrence had been envisaged by Isaiah 13:10, in the context of the ...read more

  • The Baptism And Anointing Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,066 views

    It is good to follow the crowds who listen to the Gospel, but it is better to follow the Jesus whom we preach!

    THE BAPTISM AND ANOINTING OF JESUS. Mark 1:4-11. MARK 1:4. John preached the “baptism of repentance.” Baptism is a dipping of the physical body into water. The baptism administered by John signified a turning away from sin and a turning unto God. Every wicked act, every unguarded word, ...read more
