    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,681 views

    An Easter Meditation.

    RESURRECTION, BAPTISM AND UNION WITH CHRIST. Romans 6:1-11. Towards the end of the previous chapter, the Apostle Paul declared, ‘where sin abounded, grace did super-abound’ (cf. Romans 5:20). Paul opens chapter 6 with an emphatic negation of a conclusion that people were presumptuously ...read more

  • The Sower, The Seed, And The Soil

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 21, 2014
    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,949 views

    No matter how good the preaching, the Word of God only takes root in hearts prepared by the Holy Spirit.

    THE SOWER, THE SEED, AND THE SOIL. Matthew 13:1-9; Matthew 13:18-23. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. The Lord entered into a boat and sat and taught, whilst the crowds stood on the seashore. The boat served as a ...read more

  • The Good Deposit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,347 views

    1. "Keep the Committed Deposit" of the gospel; 2. In a verse which has become so familiar in translation that we almost forget to check the Greek language which lies behind it, we discover that only "He is able to Keep my Committed Deposit."

    THE GOOD DEPOSIT. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. At the end of his previous letter, Paul encouraged Timothy to ‘KEEP’ - or guard - the ‘COMMITTED DEPOSIT’ (1 Timothy 6:20). In the second letter, Paul reiterates this instruction in much the same words: “the good DEPOSIT COMMITTED … KEEP” (2 Timothy 1:14). ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,056 views

    Faith demonstrated in the margins of life.

    A CRUMB FROM THE TABLE. Matthew 15:21-28. In the earlier part of the chapter, Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within. It is also true to say that FAITH flows ...read more

  • An Oratorio Of Steadfast Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 11, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,012 views

    A lone singer stirs up his soul to praise, and ends by summoning the whole of Creation to join his joyful song.

    AN ORATORIO OF STEADFAST LOVE. Psalm 103:1-13; Psalm 103:22. The book of Psalms begins with the consideration of the truly blessed man (Psalm 1:1), and ends with a crescendo of praise in which all that breathes is exhorted to praise the LORD (Psalm 150:6). En route there are highs and lows, ...read more

  • A Hiding Place For The Repentant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,844 views

    Before we can enter into the blessings which follow forgiveness, we must first admit our sin, and acknowledge our responsibility before God.

    A HIDING PLACE FOR THE REPENTANT. Psalm 32. The beatitudes of Psalm 32:1-2 remind us of Psalm 1:1-2, which describes the righteous man and proclaims him blessed. Yet, since the fall of Adam, no mere man has been born with original righteousness. The second Psalm leads us to the place where we ...read more

  • A Test Of Obedience

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2015
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,814 views

    The rhythms of deliverance, discontentment, provision, testing, disobedience, & deliverance; and daily bread, daily work, Sabbath, & commemoration.

    A TEST OF OBEDIENCE. Exodus 16:2-4; Exodus 16:9-15. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey. The ten plagues, the first Passover, the deliverance out of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea all lay behind them. Yet now, here in the ...read more

  • Your God Shall Be My God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,465 views

    The vow of Ruth seals the promise, binding her forever not only with Naomi, but also with the LORD.

    YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD. Ruth 1:1-18. Ruth 1:1. “The days when the judges judged” was an age of anarchy (Judges 21:25). Cycles of godlessness were followed by trouble and invasion, the raising of ‘saviours’ and restoration - only for the people of the LORD to fall back again into ...read more

  • A Critique Of Pharisaic Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 20, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,746 views

    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

  • The Lord Walking On Water

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 30, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,393 views

    We at times seem like a boat tossing about on the waves of uncertainty and doubt...

    THE LORD WALKING ON WATER. John 6:16-21. The sea can be such a frightening, unpredictable element that even hardened sailors find themselves overwhelmed at times. If we enter the darkness without our Lord Jesus, this magnifies our terror. Yet when He draws near this also, inexplicably, gives ...read more

  • The Need For Christian Stability

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 2, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,875 views

    Go on holding on: the day of Christ is not here yet.

    THE NEED FOR CHRISTIAN STABILITY. 2 Thessalonians 2. The church of the Thessalonians had heard a rumour concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being gathered together to Him (2 Thessalonians 2:1). There were those who taught that “the day of Christ” was already here (2 ...read more

  • Our Part In The Refining Process

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,798 views

    This seemingly random selection of exhortations follows on from Hebrews 12:29, and represents our part in the refining process which God is working in our lives (cf. Ephesians 4:1).

    OUR PART IN THE REFINING PROCESS. Hebrews 13:1-8; Hebrews 13:15-16. I. PRACTICAL LOVE (Hebrews 13:1-3). 1. “Brotherly love” (Hebrews 13:1). Jesus is ‘not ashamed’ to call us brethren (Hebrews 2:11-12). The readers of Hebrews are viewed as ‘holy brethren’ (Hebrews 3:1). This section begins ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,889 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

  • The Cost Of Discipleship.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,422 views

    Let us not be of those who draw back.

    THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP. John 6:60-71. JOHN 6:60. “Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” Many “disciples,” who had been following Jesus for a season, were now beginning to turn back. All this talk about eating His flesh – ...read more

  • Plans Of Man And Purposes Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,785 views

    A man’s plans may be one thing (Proverbs 16:9), but it is God’s purposes that prevail (Proverbs 19:21).

    MAN’S PLANS AND GOD’S PURPOSES. Ruth 3:1-5; Ruth 4:13-17. The days of the judges (Ruth 1:1) were turbulent times. ‘There was no king in the land, and everybody did what was right in his own sight’ (Judges 21:25). Anarchy ruled, and God disciplined His people through cycles of invasion, ...read more
