  • A King Born

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 13, 2015
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,975 views

    Seek, worship and rejoice in Jesus.

    A KING BORN. Matthew 2:1-12. It is unusual for somebody to be born already possessing the title of “King” – but this was the case with Jesus. Matthew’s report simply states that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1): but he quotes the identity of Jesus as “born King” from the lips of the ...read more

  • The Branch Of Righteousness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 537 views

    The one who brings salvation, and a safe dwelling place for His people, is ‘the LORD our righteousness’ (JEREMIAH 23:6).

    THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-8. “Behold… the word of the LORD,” (JEREMIAH 23:5). The prophet uses the image of a righteous Branch growing out of a felled tree – which so wonderfully typifies God’s dealings with His people. Just when the tree of David seems to be left without hope, ...read more

  • A Prayer For Protection.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 253 views

    "Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man" (Psalm 140:1a).

    A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION. Psalm 140:1-9. This is a Psalm of David, no doubt from the time when he was pursued by his enemies in the wilderness. The Psalm switches between singular foes: pointing perhaps particularly to king Saul and his three thousand men at arms; and Doeg and the Ziphites, who ...read more

  • The Battle Within.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 24, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 634 views

    "But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law" (Galatians 5:18).

    THE BATTLE WITHIN. Galatians 5:16-24. We must “walk in the (Holy) Spirit”: to which imperative is added a promise, “and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh” (GALATIANS 5:16). We need to be aware of the spiritual nature of the battle in which we are engaged (GALATIANS 5:17). If we are ...read more

  • The Reign Of Messiah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 377 views

    The nature and extent of His dominion.

    THE REIGN OF MESSIAH. Psalm 72:1-8. The name of Solomon is associated with this Psalm, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. However, Christians recognise Jesus as the fullest fulfilment of the ideal king in this chapter. Psalm 72:1. As ...read more

  • A Story Within A Story.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 784 views

    Jesus has power over both disease and death.

    A STORY WITHIN A STORY. Matthew 9:18-26. In this particular section Matthew presents us with a ‘story within a story’ – and, as you might expect with such a literary device, there are both similarities and dissimilarities. First, we see the contrast in status of Jesus’ two petitioners. One ...read more

  • A Plea For Relief.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 82 views

    The church’s cause is the LORD’s own cause.

    A PLEA FOR RELIEF. Psalm 74:19-23. The Psalmist is addressing the LORD when he says, “O deliver not the soul of THY turtledove unto the multitude” (PSALM 74:19a). The soul of a believer is compared to a turtledove. Jesus addresses the Church as ‘MY dove’ in Song of Songs 2:14. Doves were kept ...read more

  • The Old Life And The New.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 25, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,267 views

    “Put off the old man” (EPHESIANS 4:22), and “put on the new man” (EPHESIANS 4:24).

    THE OLD LIFE AND THE NEW. Ephesians 4:17-32. Having argued the case for keeping the unity of the body of Christ (cf. Ephesians 4:1-16), Paul now moves on to insist upon the maintenance of true holiness. EPHESIANS 4:17. The “therefore” connects with the ‘therefore’ in Ephesians 4:1. Paul is ...read more

  • Prayer And Praise.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 25, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 131 views

    Desperation gives way to elation when we trust the LORD.

    PRAYER AND PRAISE. Psalm 28:1-9. There is only one God who hears and answers prayer. His name is YHWH: the One who ‘is, and was, and is to come’ (cf. Revelation 1:8); the maker of the heavens and the earth (cf. Psalm 121:2). He is ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Ephesians ...read more

  • The Great Invitation.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 805 views

    An evangelistic appeal.

    THE GREAT INVITATION. Isaiah 55:6-11. ISAIAH 55:6. We are exhorted to seek the LORD, while He may be found. If we seek Him with all our heart, and all our soul, we will find Him. Then He will rain righteousness upon us, making us righteous through the Lord Jesus Christ. He will bring life to the ...read more

  • First Christmas Risk-Takers

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 21, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,200 views

    Risk taking at times needs to be bold and calculated. Other times require spontaneity. Risk taking is taking on something that causes fear and has the possibility of failure. Risk taking is an essential ingredient in ministry in the Kingdom of God. Most B

    Opening illustration: Three pastors have been called Monday to report to prison in Shiraz, a city in southwestern Iran, within the next 30 days in what is estimated to be an act of religious persecution. The pastors were essentially being sentenced for having meetings at home, making the government ...read more

  • Jesus And John The Baptist.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 6, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 624 views

    "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (Matthew 11:6).

    JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 11:2-10. MATTHEW 11:2-3. We do not know for sure why John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. Perhaps prison had knocked the wind out of his sails, and he wanted some reassurance that it had not all been in vain. Or perhaps it was for ...read more

  • How To Reverence The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 8, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 331 views

    The outworking of our covenant relationship with the LORD.

    HOW TO REVERENCE THE LORD. Psalm 34:11-22. PSALM 34:11. David addresses his hearers as “children” - like disciples receiving instruction at the feet of their Rabbi. The Scottish metrical version reads: “O children, hither do ye come, And unto me give ear; I will you teach to understand ...read more

  • Our Rest Only In God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 16, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,952 views

    The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

    OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

  • The Key To Christian Living.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 630 views

    We are dead to sin, but alive to God through our Lord Jesus Christ (ROMANS 6:11).

    THE KEY TO CHRISTIAN LIVING. Romans 6:3-11. 1. Our Union with Christ is symbolised in our Baptism. The key to Christian living is found in our union with Christ, both in His death and in His resurrection. This is what is symbolised in baptism (ROMANS 6:3-4). The spiritual reality which ...read more
