  • Holy To The Lord Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 19, 2022
     | 1,897 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 14:17-21 focuses on the wise leadership of Christ during the Millennium and the glorious presence of God at that time. The crowning subject of this book is HOLINESS.

    Intro The book of Zechariah ends on an extremely positive note. During the Millennium, the hopes and dreams of God’s people will be realized like never before. The perfection that will be in the new heaven and the new earth is not entirely realized. But compared to the previous ages, the Millennium ...read more

  • For This I Came

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 12, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,374 views

    When Jesus said, To this end was I born, He was acknowledging His incarnation.

    FOR THIS I CAME. John 18:33-37. The interview between Pilate and Jesus paints a pathetic picture. The King of kings stood accused before the tribunal of an earthly governor. The prisoner appeared so unlike the usual kind of revolutionary that you could almost hear the scorn in the prefect’s ...read more

    INTRO.- Ignorant talk. There is a lot of that going around. Much of it is in Hollywood.

Even though I don’t believe in God." - BILLY JOEL: "I wasn’t raised Catholic, but I used to go ...read more

  • An Indoor-Outdoor Spiritual Barbeque

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 14, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,064 views

    A damning indictment against stubborn unbelief, and a shocking redefining of 'family'...

    AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR SPIRITUAL BARBEQUE. Mark 3:20-35. Belief crowds in towards Jesus, oblivious of walls (oblivious of the roof on one occasion), in the hope of a healing touch (Mark 3:20). Unbelief stands outside, questioning Jesus’ sanity. Some well-meaning acquaintances of Jesus wanted to ...read more

  • Anointed Ruler, Divine King

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 15, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,905 views

    The Old Testament expectation was inclining towards the coming of the warrior king. Instead, He appeared as the man on the donkey.

    ANOINTED RULER, DIVINE KING. Zechariah 9:9-12. In a series of visions, Zechariah reached beyond the needs of his own time to the coming of Jesus. In Zechariah 9:1, the eyes of men, and all Israel, were looking towards the return of the LORD to His city and Temple. The departure was foretold by ...read more

  • A Hard Calling

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,155 views

    It is hard preaching to hard heads and hard hearts.

    A HARD CALLING. Ezekiel 2:1-5. In times gone by, and in certain places and professions still, it was taken for granted that children would follow in the trade of their fathers. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, would have known from an early age that they were going to be fishermen. ...read more

  • A State Of Being Which Gives Rise To Activity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,666 views

    A Christian perspective on Torah.

    A STATE OF BEING WHICH GIVES RISE TO ACTIVITY. Psalm 119:1-8. We begin our study of the selected passage with the observation that the word for “blessed” is not a verb, but a noun. It is a state of being, not an activity. We are “blessed” not because “we walk in the law of the LORD”; but rather ...read more

  • Confess And Believe

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 21, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,014 views

    Made righteous through the righteousness of Jesus, which we receive by faith in Him. Whoever believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed. Whoever calls upon His name will be saved. Sincere faith leads to public confession of Christ.

    CONFESS AND BELIEVE. Romans 10:9. According to a Roman historian, the Emperor Claudius ordered all the Jews to leave Rome after public disorders caused by the preaching of the claims of Jesus Christ in the synagogues. This fact is echoed in the Scriptures, where we find the Jewish Christian ...read more

  • Bridling The Tongue

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,988 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more

  • Pursuing The Mark

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,410 views

    Paul the persecutor was turned into Paul the pursuer. The Christian life is not static, but vigorously active.

    PURSUING THE MARK. Philippians 3:4-14. The starter’s line for this passage is the Apostle Paul’s polemic against false teachers, whose confidence lies in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-4). “The flesh” here represents self-help religion, which stands contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...read more

  • Another Sad Song Of The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 24, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,427 views

    Are we about to reject the Rock of our salvation?

    ANOTHER SAD SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Matthew 21:33-46. The vineyard is a well-known motif for Israel (cf. Isaiah 5:7). We saw it in the parable of the labourers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), and in the example of the two sons whose father asked them to go and work in his vineyard (Matthew ...read more

  • The Garden

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,795 views

    Man in the image of God, man in the Garden.

    THE GARDEN. Genesis 2:4-25. In Genesis 1 we saw Creation from the cosmological viewpoint of God. The expression “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth” in Genesis 2:4 links the seeming remoteness of God in the earlier account with the intimacy of the Garden, viewing Creation ...read more

  • God’s Second Word: Worship & Serve No Other Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 19, 2010
    based on 39 ratings
     | 38,990 views

    Freedom to truly live comes only through proper self-control is the message of the 10 Commandments. The purpose of God’s law is deliverance not domination. Obedience does not subjugate; it saves and delivers.

    [GOD’S TEN WORDS SERIES] EXODUS 20: 4 - 6 GOD’S SECOND WORD: WORSHIP AND SERVE NO OTHER In New York Harbor the STATUE OF LIBERTY stands with torch held high. She faces the Atlantic Ocean and the old countries beyond, with her back turned toward the country she honors. She holds high the hope ...read more

  • Choose Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,911 views

    "Choose life": an exhortation that belongs not only to the outset of the Christian life, but to all our choices in this life.

    CHOOSE LIFE. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. On more than one occasion I am sure, “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19) has been used, not inappropriately, as the text for an evangelistic sermon. The context, however, suggests that these words were not originally addressed to people who did not know the LORD ...read more

  • The Song Of Zacharias

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,434 views

    The old priest opens his mouth for God, and prophesies.

    SONG OF ZACHARIAS. Luke 1:65-80. It is probable that Zacharias was elevated above purely personal petitions when he exercised his incense-burning office as priest in the Most Holy Place on the day that the angel Gabriel had appeared to him (Luke 1:9-11). The longings of the faithful remnant in ...read more
