    Worship is not only a duty for the congregation, but also of the individual Christian.

    A HYMN TO THE REDEEMER. Psalm 149:1-9. PSALM 149:1. The exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” is especially addressed to “saints” = those loved by God with His covenant love.

    The person who receives you, dear Christian, receives Jesus - and He says that “the one who receives Me receives the One who sent Me” (Matthew 10:40).

    THE SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY OF CHRISTIAN WITNESS. Matthew 10:40-42. This is the continuation of what I have called the ‘little commission’ - the Missionary Discourse of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-10:42). We turn now from the missionaries to those who receive them. a) The attitudes and actions indicated ...read more

    JUSTICE AND THE LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR. Leviticus 19:1-2, Leviticus 19:15-18.

In ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,991 views

    The reliability of the One who protects us.

    A PSALM OF TRUST. Psalm 91:1-6, Psalm 91:14-16). PSALM 91:1-2. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even those ...read more

    Access to God through our great High Priest.

    THE BOLD APPROACH. Hebrews 4:12-16. So far in the epistle to the Hebrews, the author has made extensive use of the Scriptures.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,912 views

    A text of hope in the context of God's determination against His people.

    “YET I WILL NOT MAKE A FULL END”. Jeremiah 4:11-12; Jeremiah 4:22-28. Many of our readings in Jeremiah seem to, like Lamentations, open out on to a vista of total devastation and despair. However, depending on what translation one uses, there is hope: “yet I will NOT make a full end” (Jeremiah ...read more

  • The God Who Weeps

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,760 views

    Our resources have run out, and there is no healing balm for the malady of sin apart from the blood of Jesus.

    THE GOD WHO WEEPS. Jeremiah 8:18-22; Jeremiah 9:1. We are accustomed to referring to Jeremiah as the ‘weeping prophet’ – and rightly so. However, Jeremiah’s tears do not just speak to us about the prophet, but also about the people – and mainly about God. In that sense, we might refer to the ...read more

  • The Tender Mercy Of A Jealous God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings

    Let us pray for the whole state of the church of Christ.

    THE TENDER MERCY OF A JEALOUS GOD. Psalm 79:1-9. Despite what our first impression may have been, this is not a general lament about all the ills of the world but rather a particular lament about something afflicting the people of God. And even then, it is not just about ‘us’ but more so ...read more

  • Would God I Had Died For Thee!

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,076 views

    The fatherly tears of David the king, and the compassion of God.

    WOULD GOD I HAD DIED FOR THEE! 2 Samuel 18:5-9; 2 Samuel 18:15; 2 Samuel 18:31-33. When I was still on the threshold between boyhood and manhood, I wrote two books of poems. The first I entitled, 'Going our own way.' I did not think of it at the time, but perhaps I was using the ...read more

  • The Mystery Of The Resurrection.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 151 views

    What lies ahead.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51. When Paul speaks of a “mystery” he is not speaking of some secret to be kept, but rather of a hitherto hidden secret now being revealed (cf. Romans 16:25-27; Ephesians 3:3-5; Colossians 1:26). The Bible uses ‘sleep’ ...read more

  • A Child Asked For

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 17, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,724 views

    As his name seems to suggest, Samuel was a child asked for. The destiny of the faithful was wrapped up in the birth of this child.

    A CHILD ASKED FOR. 1 Samuel 1:4-20. It was still the days of the judges, and still everyone did what they thought was right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). Yet the LORD was at work, shaping man’s destiny according to His plan. The ‘man according to His own heart’ (Acts 13:22) had not yet ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,794 views

    God did what the law could not.

    A SET FREE MINDSET. Romans 8:1-5. “Then-now-no” begins the Greek of this wonderful chapter of God’s Book. This firm negation placed right at the beginning of the sentence serves to emphasise the absolute impossibility of there ever being any “condemnation” - to whom? “To those in Christ ...read more

  • Building On The Rock

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 8, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,301 views

    To build our lives on anything less than a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the very height of madness.

    BUILDING ON THE ROCK. Matthew 7:21-29. In the end, there will be those who PROFESS, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name have cast out demons, and in your name done many wonderful works?” to whom Jesus will PROFESS, “I never knew you: depart from me, you (all) ...read more

  • The Act Of Love Of A Forgiven Woman, And The Inclusivity Of Jesus' Ministry.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,030 views

    Nurturing our relationship with Jesus is an essential part of our Christian formation.

    1. A FORGIVEN WOMAN’S ACT OF LOVE. Luke 7:36-50. This incident ties in with two earlier episodes, illustrating Jesus’ conquest over sickness (Luke 7:1-10), death (Luke 7:11-17) - and now sin. The unnamed woman is identified as “a sinner” (Luke 7:37; Luke 7:39; Luke 7:47). This tells us nothing ...read more
