    A Hymn To Our High Priest

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,580 views

    He is our eternal Advocate, always available, always approachable.

    A HYMN TO OUR HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 7:23-28. Jesus’ priesthood is proclaimed to be of a better order than that of Aaron (Hebrews 7:11) because of His similitude to Melchisedec (Hebrews 7:14-15). It is not genealogy which qualifies our great High Priest, but the power of an indissoluble life ...read more

    The Question Of The Authority Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 15, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,687 views

    Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to us? The difference between words and action. Time for true repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE QUESTION OF JESUS’ AUTHORITY. Matthew 21:23-32. This conversation follows hard on the heels of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple (Matthew 21:12-16), and the symbolic withering of the fig tree (Matthew 21:18-20). “Who gave you the right to do such things?” demanded the Temple authorities, and ...read more

    The Resurrection Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,787 views

    The key to Christian living is found in our union with Christ, both in His death and in His resurrection.

    THE RESURRECTION LIFE. Romans 6:1-14. It is decidedly unpleasant when anybody is subjected to false accusations and malicious rumours. Yet this was the experience of Jesus in Holy Week, and is the common lot of all those who uphold the mystery of holiness. The Apostle Paul was aware that ...read more

    The Lord Our Shield

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,039 views

    Abraham chose to believe God rather than his own doubts and fears.

    THE LORD OUR SHIELD. Genesis 15:1-6. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden realisation: I’ve just picked a fight with ...read more

    A Prayerful Advocate For Those Who Groan

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 9, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,745 views

    The Holy Spirit as first-fruits, and efficacious intercessor.

    A PRAYERFUL ADVOCATE FOR THOSE WHO GROAN. Romans 8:22-27. There are several references to the Holy Spirit in Romans 8. He is named at least nineteen times in the first twenty-seven verses. This serves to contrast the weakness of ‘the law of sin and death’ (discussed at length in Romans 7), with ...read more

    Faithfulness Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Dec 2, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,837 views

    Faithfulness has Jesus as it object, obedience as its joy, and eternity as its goal. Faithfulness is the proper response to all of God's gracious giving.

    Intro: What is the proper response to the manger which was the doorway for God to be with us? What is the proper response to the cross where God suffered for us? What is the proper response to the ascension where Jesus intercedes for us? What is the proper response to the gift of the Holy ...read more

    An Exhortation To Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 15, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,736 views

    An unjust judge, an importunate widow - and the patience of God.

    AN EXHORTATION TO IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Luke 18:1-8. The Pharisees demanded of Jesus when the kingdom of God should come. Jesus’ unexpected response was that it is here already (Luke 17:20-21)! Jesus then turned to His disciples to advise them concerning what He called ‘the days of the Son of ...read more

    A Sturdy Faith?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,019 views

    We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

    A STURDY FAITH? Psalm 125. Sometimes we speak of a person’s great faith, or their unwavering trust in the Lord, as if this was not attainable by any and each and all of us. ‘Oh,’ we say, ‘he has such faith’. Or, ‘she trusts so entirely upon the LORD’. But Jesus, whilst He gently rebukes His ...read more

    Twelve Years Of Suffering, And Twelve Years Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 2, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,473 views

    A woman healed, a child raised from the dead. Application.

    TWELVE YEARS OF SUFFERING, AND TWELVE YEARS OF LIFE. Mark 5:21-43. In this particular section Mark 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 of all, we have the not unusual picture of ...read more

    A Pharisee And The Sinner

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 24, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,734 views

    Jesus contrasts two men, and two attitudes in prayer.

    A PHARISEE AND “THE” SINNER. Luke 18:9-14. Jesus had just told His disciples a parable to encourage them to importunity in prayer (Luke 18:1). Now He turned back to the Pharisees (cf. Luke 17:20-21) to warn them, and those like them, against despising others and approaching God in a ...read more

    His Plans Not Our Plans

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,635 views

    The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

    HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will (2 Samuel 7:1-4); 2. God’s presence cannot be contained in a ...read more

    Famous Last Words

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,767 views

    It is the everlasting covenant that gives David the courage to hope. Man may fail, but God will not. The covenant is set in place by God, and guaranteed by God.

    FAMOUS LAST WORDS. 2 Samuel 23:1-7. The Bible sometimes permits us to listen in on the death-bed words of a dying saint. We hear Jacob blessing his sons. We hear Moses blessing the twelve tribes. We are interested also to hear the seven last sayings of Jesus from the Cross. In the passage ...read more

    No longer a slave.

    AN OPEN LETTER. PHILEMON 1:1-21. Onesimus was a slave who had escaped from his Christian master, Philemon. Yet in a beautiful irony, having not ‘made it’ alone in the big city, he found himself at last brought under the direct personal influence of “Paul the prisoner” (Philemon 1:1). Many a ...read more
