  • Come Let Us Reason Together.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,961 views

    The failure of our efforts and the glory of Christ's work.

    COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10). It is all quite shocking: how dare he expose our comfortable, upright congregation to such strong language? After all, ...read more

    Welcoming Jesus back into our lives.

    THE WATER WALKING JESUS. John 6:15-21. JOHN 6:15. Jesus knows what is in the heart of man, and literally “knowing” that they “are about to come” and seize Him, that they may make Him a king, He “withdrew Himself again to the mountain Himself alone.” The picture seems to be of an enthusiastic ...read more

  • Two Kinds Of Servitude

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 20, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,656 views

    Two ways of life. Two very different masters. Two pathways: one leading to death, and one leading to life. Two very different paydays.

    TWO KINDS OF SERVITUDE. Romans 6:12-23. What we are, and whose we are, shapes what we do with what we've got. Negatively, the Apostle Paul encourages us to resist any attempt that sin makes to usurp authority in our physical lives (Romans 6:12). Even for Christians, the body and its ...read more

    This Psalm looks beyond the present crisis and need, through the availability of God’s righteousness, to the ultimate hope of the resurrection.

    AN APPEAL IN HOPE. Psalm 17:1-7, Psalm 17:15. PSALM 17:1. How can a man, born dead in trespasses and sins, plead with the LORD to “hear the right?” Well, it is as Abraham said, ‘Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?’ (Genesis 18:25). When we use this Psalm, we are not appealing to our ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,238 views

    What do we need to purchase the water of salvation? Nothing at all! It is a free gift of the true and living God.

    A CALL TO FAITH. Isaiah 55:1-5. ISAIAH 55:1. The Bible is full of wonderful gracious invitations. Isaiah 55 begins with a call to the thirsty to come to the waters. This is in order to quench, not a physical thirst, but a spiritual thirst. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who hunger and ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,017 views

    Acknowledging woman as the complement of man.

    NOT GOOD TO BE ALONE. Genesis 2:18-24. Man is not just another animal. Both physically, and morally, ‘Man was made upright’ (Ecclesiastes 7:29). After all, man was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). God ‘breathed into his nostrils the breath of life’ (Genesis 2:7). (‘Breath’, ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,269 views

    The Church should never want be "like all the nations."

    THE ALLURE OF WORLDLY CONFORMITY. 1 Samuel 8:4-20, 1 Samuel 11:14-15. Samuel appointed his two sons to be judges in Beersheba in the south of Israel, but ‘his sons walked not in his ways’ and ‘took bribes and perverted judgement (1 Samuel 8:1-3). On account of this, the elders of Israel ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,351 views

    More mission insights from the little Commission.

    AS SHEEP AMONG WOLVES. Matthew 10:9-23. Jesus was very specific in His first instructions to the twelve Apostles, that they ‘Go not into the way of the Gentiles’, nor enter any city of the Samaritans, but seek out none other than ‘the lost sheep of the house of Israel’ (cf. Matthew 10:5-6). ...read more

  • Open Your Mouth Wide And I Will Fill It.

    The finest of wheat, and honey out of the Rock.

    OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT. Psalm 81:1, Psalm 81:10-16. 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 81:10. “I am the LORD your God, who ...read more

    The on-going contention between the son of Hagar, and the seed of Sarah

    ISHMAEL. Genesis 21:8-21. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD pointed him towards the ...read more

    A downward spiral with inevitable consequences.

    DAVID LETS HIS GUARD DOWN. 2 Samuel 11:1-15. “At the time when kings go forth” (to battle), “David tarried still at Jerusalem.” (2 SAMUEL 11:1). Sending his nephew Joab may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but this constituted a dereliction of duty which put David in the wrong place at ...read more

    based on 2 ratings

    Paul received the gospel, he says, by direct revelation from Jesus. Also, his commission as Apostle to the Gentiles came directly from Jesus.

    THE UNIQUE APOSTLESHIP OF PAUL. Galatians 1:11-24. The gospel which was preached by Paul was “not according to men. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (GALATIANS 1:11-12). Paul elaborates on this assertion throughout the rest of ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,154 views

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more
