  • The Panting Deer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,397 views

    Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

    THE PANTING DEER. Psalm 42:1-11; Psalm 43:1-5. There is such a thing as speaking truth into raw emotion. Imagine a situation where you are one of the worship team in the Temple at Jerusalem, and you are taken hostage to Samaria (cf. 2 Kings 14:14). On the way your heart identifies with a deer ...read more

  • The Accountability Of Delegates.

    Jesus identifies the gods in this Psalm as those to whom the word of God came.

    THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF DELEGATES. Psalm 82:1-8. Like the book of Job, Psalm 82 opens in the counsels of heaven (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7). There the ‘sons of God’ came to present themselves before ‘Yahweh’ (the LORD), ‘and Satan came also.’ Here it is “God” (‘Elohim,’ the majestic plural) ...read more

    Have ye understood all these things? Matthew 13:51.

    SAMPLING SOME PARABLES. Matthew 13:31-33, Matthew 13:44-52. I. The Mustard Seed (Matthew 13:31-32). This Sermon had its roots in a children’s address given long ago and far away. At that time I was interested (for all the best practical reasons) in gardening. I brought some seeds as a visual ...read more

  • Sheherds, Sheep And The Good Shepherd"

    A Sermon for Proper 11, Series B preached 7/22/2012 as a guest speaker at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Estherville, Iowa. Redeemer was in the midst of a pastoral vacancy at the time I preached this sermon.

    I found it rather interesting that out of all the Sundays I could have come to visit your congregation and share a message from God’s Word with you, it had to be this one. In the readings you just heard that were appointed for today, we are given word pictures of sheep and shepherds. I just ...read more

  • What Does It Mean To Be Part Of The Church? - Sermon For Proper 18 – Year A

     | 3,098 views

    Where two or three are gathered in my name. How do we work together to be the church and a living witness to the grace of God within the world

    In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit, amen. I came upon this prayer, which I thought was very apt as we come to unfold the scripture, so let’s begin by praying. Jesus said where two or three are gathered in my name there I am among them, then this must be a holy people a ...read more

    The Olympics are coming soon to Vancouver British Columbia. Athletes all over the world are preparing for their various events. They of course train in such a way as to be the best of the best. Their goal; an Olympic Gold Medal, and hearing their national anthem playing while their flag is raised ...read more

  • A Call To Worship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 23, 2015
    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,019 views

    Who is this LORD, that we should worship Him? Why should we trust and praise this God?

    A CALL TO WORSHIP. Psalm 146. The last five Psalms (146-150) all begin and end with an exhortation to praise the LORD, addressed collectively to the congregation of God’s people. Yet it is not enough for the praise leader just to call others to worship: it is also the exercise of his own soul ...read more

  • The Lord Will Perfect Me

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,968 views

    This is a Psalm of thanksgiving, and of hope.

    THE LORD WILL PERFECT ME. Psalm138:1-8. In Psalm 138:1, David praises the LORD. 1st, his praise is wholehearted (cf. Psalm 9:1; Psalm 86:12-13; Psalm 103:1-2; Psalm 111:1). 2nd, it is ‘in the face of’ (to use a contemporary term) all other would-be or otherwise imaginary ‘gods’ (cf. ...read more

  • The All-Encompassing Sovereignty Of God

     | 3,670 views

    I the LORD do all these things

    THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. Isaiah 45:1-7. This chapter opens with the astonishing reference to Cyrus, King of Persia, as the LORD’s “anointed” - literally, “messiah” (Isaiah 45:1). It is designed to shock us with the fact that the LORD not only uses Gentiles to fulfil His ...read more

  • Genuine Love

    Another song of agape love.

    GENUINE LOVE. Romans 12:9-13. In Greek, the first clause of Romans 12:9 has no verb, so could literally be rendered “love without hypocrisy” or “love unfeigned”. From this, I have taken ‘Genuine Love’ as a title for this section. The second clause talks about evil and good, forming a kind of ...read more

  • An Unspoken Providence

    The history of Joseph from Canaan to Egypt.

    AN UNSPOKEN PROVIDENCE. Genesis 37:1-4, Genesis 37:12-28. What are we to make of Joseph? A tell-tale teenager (Genesis 37:2)? A favourite son (Genesis 37:3)? A dreamer (Genesis 37:19)? Or perhaps a boaster (cf. Genesis 37:5-10)? Or even a prophet (cf. Genesis 37:11)? What is the ...read more

    David's Psalm of praise.

    A VOW TO PRAISE. Psalm 145:1-8. The Psalmist David, speaking on our behalf, makes a vow to bless the name of the LORD “forever and ever” (Psalm 145:1); “Every day” to bless Him; to praise His name “for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:2). This is the only Psalm in the book with the words “of ...read more

  • Brothers Together.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,844 views

    Shades of opinion in the Christian church. We shall all appear before Christ.

    BROTHERS TOGETHER. Romans 14:1-12. This passage has much to say about receiving one another in the Lord. Paul defines “the weak in the faith” (Romans 14:1) as those who have scruples about what they eat (Romans 14:2). Do not “despise” them, warns Paul; but he also warns the weak not to ...read more

  • Sour Grapes

     | 4,805 views

    From blame to shame. A call to repentance.

    SOUR GRAPES. Ezekiel 18:1-4; Ezekiel 18:25-32. It seems to be very much a part of fallen human nature that we want to blame someone else for the things that go wrong in our lives. This all began in the garden of Eden, after the first couple ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam blamed both his ...read more
