    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,612 views

    It is never a fruitless exercise when we bring others to Christ.

    COMPASSION: THE HEALING TOUCH. Mark 6:30-34; Mark 6:53-56. It was with some measure of excitement that the twelve apostles returned from their first outreach. They had fulfilled their commission, and were keen to report to Jesus on all that they had said and done (Mark 6:30). If ever there was a ...read more

    Breaking Down The Walls

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,560 views

    Church, in the final analysis, defines a people who are in the world but not of the world - ministering to the world.

    BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS. Ephesians 2:11-22. Church. A building or a people? Churches. Buildings constructed over supposed holy sites, in which various forms of worship take place. Some of these original citadels have disappeared, their walls removed to build alternative edifices. The problem ...read more

    Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,851 views

    A short appeal to persevere in prayer.

    IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Matthew 15:21-28. Sometimes in the round of life it seems that we are praying by rote - and sometimes not praying at all, but rather ‘saying prayers’. I was impressed with the importunity of the woman of Canaan who approached Jesus in Matthew 15:21-28. Yes folks, faith ...read more

    A Sequence Of Sayings

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,898 views

    A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

    A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

    When Joseph finally met his brothers again, he was able to say that, what THEY had meant for evil, God had meant for good.

    GOD SENT ME HERE. Genesis 45:1-15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf. Genesis 37:3), Joseph was sold by his brethren for twenty pieces of silver (Genesis 37:28). Favoured by His Father (Luke 3:22), Jesus ‘came unto His own, and His own ...read more

    The end of one priesthood, and the promise of another.

    A FAILING PRIESTHOOD. 1 Samuel 3:11-20. What an initiation into the ministry of God’s Word! The boy Samuel was now informed of the judgment which the LORD had already given against the house of Eli (1 Samuel 3:12-14; cf. 1 Samuel 2:30-31).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,040 views

    Nurturing our relationship with Jesus is an essential part of our Christian formation.

    1. A FORGIVEN WOMAN’S ACT OF LOVE. Luke 7:36-50. This incident ties in with two earlier episodes, illustrating Jesus’ conquest over sickness (Luke 7:1-10), death (Luke 7:11-17) - and now sin. The unnamed woman is identified as “a sinner” (Luke 7:37; Luke 7:39; Luke 7:47). This tells us nothing ...read more

    The reliability of the One who protects us.

    A PSALM OF TRUST. Psalm 91:1-6, Psalm 91:14-16). PSALM 91:1-2. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even those ...read more

    From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.

    WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? Psalm 113:1-9. PSALM 113:1. “Praise ye the LORD.

    Worship is not only a duty for the congregation, but also of the individual Christian.

     | 153 views

    What lies ahead.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51. When Paul speaks of a “mystery” he is not speaking of some secret to be kept, but rather of a hitherto hidden secret now being revealed (cf. Romans 16:25-27; Ephesians 3:3-5; Colossians 1:26). The Bible uses ‘sleep’ ...read more

    To say and to do not, versus the grace of humility.

    A CRITIQUE OF PHARISAIC HYPOCRISY. Matthew 23:1-12. Turning away from the Pharisees, Jesus addressed both the crowds and His own disciples (Matthew 23:1). From the outset, Jesus acknowledged the legitimacy of the Pharisees as a party within Judaism: they “sit in Moses’ seat” (Matthew 23:2). ...read more

    Psalm 23 is probably the best known passage in all the Bible.

    Introduction: Psalm 23 is undoubtedly one of the best-known passages in all the Bible. Most of us learned it as children and it continues to be a comfort to those who are dying, or those who have lost loved ones. Maybe it’s so well-loved because it is so personal and individual. When we read ...read more
