     | 7,295 views

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112:1-10. Like its immediate predecessor, PSALM 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line. PSALM 112:1 can best be represented in English by: “Alleluia. Blessed is the man…” The ...read more

    This is not just about a City, but about the whole People of God.

    A JOYOUS PROSPECT. Isaiah 62:1-5. Isaiah’s so-called ‘Song of the Vineyard’ (Isaiah 5:1-7), spoke of a time when judgment and desolation loomed large upon the horizon of his contemporaries. There the husbandman (cf. John 15:1) looked for a fruitful harvest, but the vineyard yielded only bad ...read more

     | 7,411 views

    A summons to praise our God, with reasons attached.

    LOOK UP AND PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 147:1-11, Psalm 147:20c. Why “Praise the LORD” (Psalm 147:1)? There are two possible readings of the answer: “For it is good/ pleasant/ delightful to sing praises to our God” (cf. Psalm 92:1); or “For He is good/ gracious/ beautiful” (cf. Psalm 27:4). It could ...read more

    It is good to give thanks to the LORD.

    A SONG FOR THE SABBATH DAY. Psalm 92:1-4, Psalm 92:12-15. We open with the declaration, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD” (Psalm 92:1a). Perhaps our prayers are too often loaded down with petitions: but we should be thanking God for past benefits, even as we make our requests known to ...read more

  • A Solemn Feast Day

    A summons to resounding praise.

    A SOLEMN FEAST DAY. Psalm 81:1-7. This Psalm opens with a summons to resounding praise (Psalm 81:1-3), with reasons to do so attached (Psalm 81:4-7). It continues with an address by God, beginning with a commandment, with a promise attached (Psalm 81:8-10); and going on to upbraid the people ...read more

  • The Valley Of Trouble As The Door Of Hope

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,944 views

    From our many backslidings, to "you shall know the LORD."

    THE VALLEY OF TROUBLE AS THE DOOR OF HOPE. Hosea 2:14-20. Hosea’s own rocky marriage stands as a metaphor for the troubled relationship between the LORD and Israel. Just as Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea, so Israel broke covenant with the LORD (Hosea 1:2). One harbinger of hope is discovered - ...read more

  • Honey Out Of The Rock

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,338 views

    Even now, God is waiting to forgive.

    HONEY OUT OF THE ROCK. Psalm 81:8-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:8. “Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, ...read more

  • A Hymn To The Mercy Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 4, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,960 views

    The correct response to the love of God, is to put our trust “under the shadow of His wings”.

    A HYMN TO GOD’S MERCY. Psalm 36:5-10. This beautiful meditation on the excellence of God’s loving-kindness, is encompassed within an oracle concerning the transgression of the wicked. Like a beautiful portrait set against a dark and gloomy background, the centrepiece is highlighted by the use of ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,564 views

    A holy walk is best seen in our attitudes to others.

    A CALL TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS. Leviticus 19:1-2; Leviticus 19:9-18. In the midst of Jesus’ best-known ethical sermon, the Lord taught the foundational motive for right Christian living: ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect’ (Matthew 5:48). In many respects ...read more

  • A Sinner Saved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,645 views

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

     | 11,021 views

    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

     | 5,923 views

    A sermon on how much God adores us - with a few references to some slightly controversial topics. Preached on the 2nd Sunday after Epiphany 2020 at St Barnabas Northolt

    .................................. I log into Facebook and there on some one’s status is a grainy black and white photo of a baby - the ultrasound that announces that their new arrival is on it’s way. And many people will keep that ultrasound up with their other photos on the mantelpiece - the ...read more

  • Extreme Makeover

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 16, 2009
    based on 37 ratings
     | 17,209 views

    Epiphany 6: We live in a superficial world. Extreme makeovers are touted as the way to a new you. Really? God’s extreme makeovers remake us from the inside out!

    We live in the day of the makeover. Some say that with just the right clothes, cosmetics and accessories, we can be new people. Isn’t it cool? The old adage says – clothes make the man – maybe the woman too! On the TV program What Not to Wear, Stacy and Clinton take on the challenge of ...read more

    END TIMES OBEDIENCE. Romans 13:11-14. Context: Romans 12:1-15:13 is the practical application of the statement “The just shall live by faith” established so thoroughly in Romans 1-8.
