    The Broken Bread.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,871 views

    Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6 verse 53.

    THE BROKEN BREAD. John 6:51-58. Everlasting life is not a thing that is earned: it is a free gift of God. All that is required is that we put our trust wholly and entirely in Jesus (John 6:28-29). Jesus says quite categorically that whoever believes in Him has everlasting life (John 6:47), and ...read more

     | 2,702 views

    But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10 verse 39.

    A FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND John 6:56-69 Like Nicodemus who struggled with the concept of being born again (John 3:4; John 3:9), the Jews in the Capernaum synagogue (John 6:59) struggled to understand what Jesus was talking about (John 6:41; John 6:52). Jesus’ response (John 6:53-57) is only a ...read more

    Israel As Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,965 views

    A plea for grace: Turn us again, O God of hosts.

    ISRAEL AS VINE. Psalm 80:7-15. The Psalmist bemoans the plight of the divided tribes of Israel, and boldly expresses his perplexity at God’s dealings with them. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control ...read more

    A Mind For Service

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,750 views

    Gifts given for the benefit of the Church.

    A MIND FOR SERVICE. Romans 12:3-8. Romans 12:3. “For” connects with the immediately preceding two verses, in which it has been made clear that, as an act of gratitude for God's mercy (outlined in the whole of the preceding 11 chapters), we should submit our bodies to Him as a ‘living ...read more

    Called To Be Conquerors, Conformed To Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 2, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,211 views

    If God be for us, who can be against us?

    CALLED TO BE CONQUERORS, CONFORMED TO CHRIST. Romans 8:26-39. We are, it seems, surrounded by “infirmities” (Romans 8:26). These may be caused by lack of strength (which is what the word means), emotional weakness (including ‘burnout’), financial hardships, sickness, or sin. Paul also speaks of ...read more

    A Basket Of Ripe Summer Fruit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 7, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,251 views

    Seek God, do justice - before it is too late.

    A BASKET OF RIPE SUMMER FRUIT. Amos 8:1-12. This vision and its interpretation is based in a pun: the Hebrew word for “Summer fruit” sounds almost identical with the word translated “the end” (Amos 8:1-2). Read Amos 4:6-11 for a litany of the temporal judgments which the LORD laid upon ...read more

    This is the first in a series of messages on the Attributes of God focusing on first setting our heart to seek Him.

    Knowing God Series #1 “Set Your Heart to Seek the Lord” Introduction Early education in America once considered knowing God the chief pursuit of education. One early college declared, “Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to know God and Jesus Christ ...read more

    The Call Of Elisha.

     | 1,722 views

    No looking back.

    THE CALL OF ELISHA. (1 Kings 19:15-16; 1 Kings 19:19-21). The LORD’s practical response to His despondent servant Elijah was to call him back to duty, and to give him the responsibility for the anointing of: 1. A foreign tyrant (1 Kings 19:15; 2 Kings 8:11-13); 2. A new dynasty (1 Kings ...read more

    Trusting God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,998 views

    Our refuge is in the LORD.

    TRUSTING GOD. Psalm 91:9-16. Christians under persecution have testified to the literal truth of Psalm 91:9-10 – but this does not alter the fact that Christians still do suffer. There are times when God does not deliver us FROM things, but rather delivers us IN things (Romans 8:37). The ...read more

    This Is The Commandment.

     | 2,246 views

    Hear O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

    THIS IS THE COMMANDMENT. Deuteronomy 6:1-9. “This is the commandment” (Deuteronomy 6:1) is emphatic. The whole law is boiled down to the one commandment to “love the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 6:5). The outworking of this commandment is seen in our ‘loving our neighbours as ourselves’ ...read more

     | 2,467 views

    A whole life commitment.

    THE WORDS WHICH YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN. Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Deuteronomy 4:6-9. The Greek title of this book, ‘Deuteronomy’ is translated as ‘the second giving of the law’. Israel has had a great history with their God, being ‘brought forth out of the furnace of Egypt to be unto HIM a ...read more

    Who Is So Great As Our God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,478 views

    1-2. Importunate prayer. 11-15. Meditating upon the works and wonders God. 16-20. Remembering our salvation history.

    WHO IS SO GREAT AS OUR GOD? Psalm 77:1-2, Psalm 77:11-20. PSALM 77:1. “I cried unto God with my voice.” This sounds like one persistent prolonged or repeated cry. There is an intensity about it that cannot prevent it becoming vocalised, ‘out loud’ (as we say). The mouth utters what the heart is ...read more

    Perhaps you have played the childhood game, Ring Around the Rosie.

    Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down Matthew 6: 1 - 6 Intro: Do you remember as a child singing “Ring Around The Rosie”? It is unknown what the earliest version of the rhyme was or when it began. The game has a group of children form a ring, dance in a circle around a person, and stoop or fall to the ...read more

    A ladder of God's devising, connecting heaven and earth. Prefigures the Cross.

    AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER WITH GOD. Genesis 28:10-19a. GENESIS 28:10. Jacob had defrauded his brother Esau of both his birthright and his blessing. So now Jacob was on the run from his brother Esau, headed back in the direction of the city which their grandfather Abraham had left behind so many ...read more

    A Passion For God's Ancient People. Abridged.

    Eight prerogatives of Israel: “The adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came" (Romans 9:4-5).

    A PASSION FOR GOD’S ANCIENT PEOPLE. Romans 9:1-5. From the dizzy heights of Romans 8, the Apostle Paul seems to suddenly hit an unprecedented low in Romans 9:1-5. The crescendo of the previous glorious chapter meets the jarring note of Paul’s passion for his own people - God’s ancient ...read more
