    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,465 views

    Definition of faith. Abel, Enoch and Noah.

    NOW FAITH. Hebrews 11:1-7. The night when I first came to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the secret of my own room, I had been querying in prayer about the meaning of prayer, and about the meaning of faith. My Gideons Bible had a very helpful key by which I was directed on the first ...read more

     | 4,073 views

    Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria.

    A WARNING AGAINST COMPLACENCY. Amos 6:1-7. Amos was a farmer from Tekoa, to the south of Jerusalem (Amos 1:1). The LORD called Amos to ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel’ (Amos 7:15). The prophet’s ministry was thereafter directed mainly to the ten tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel, ...read more

     | 5,659 views

    If you want to be first, learn to be last!

    A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31). About this the disciples were, to say the least, slow on the uptake: ...read more

    The Shame Of The Cross

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 17, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,864 views

    Jesus… for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12.2.

    THE SHAME OF THE CROSS. Psalm 70. I want to speak to you today about the shame of the Cross. This is what we see in Hebrews 12:2, and which Paul elaborates elsewhere by saying that Christ took upon Himself the curse of the Tree that we might be redeemed from the curse of the Law (Galatians ...read more

    Who Do You Look Down Upon, Who Are The Dogs In Your Life?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 20, 2014
     | 4,272 views

    This is a very disturbing story where a woman, at her wits end, was actually ignored by Jesus, who favoured the Jews. Why? God ticks Jesus off here. Did Jesus sin here? It certainly needs investigation.

    Genesis 45:1-15 Psalm 133 Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 Matthew 15: 10-28 Summary: This is a very disturbing story where a woman, at her wits end, was actually ignored by Jesus, who favoured the Jews. Why? God ticks Jesus off here. Did Jesus sin here? It certainly needs ...read more

    Social Skills Required From Jesus To Sort The Tantrums.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,030 views

    At first glance this Gospel reading is very uninspiring; and read over it quickly, but there is much more to this story than meets the eye; its message, the social skills and the tantrums hide some secrets that lay hidden. Read on and enjoy …

    A Twofold Stewardship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,036 views

    The lessons behind a less well-known miraculous feeding.

    A TWOFOLD STEWARDSHIP. 2 Kings 4:42-44. A certain man brought to Elisha a portion of the first-fruits of his land (2 Kings 4:42). It is not clear whether this was an offering over and above that required by the law (Leviticus 23:9-14), but either way this was a token of good stewardship on the ...read more

    Seventy Sent Forth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,377 views

    We are warned not to delight so much in our gifts and victories as to rejoice in the fact that our names are written in heaven.

    SEVENTY SENT FORTH. Luke 10:1-11; Luke 10:16-20. The first thing we might notice about the appointment of the seventy in this passage is that they were appointed by Jesus (Luke 10:1). It is hazardous for anybody to enter into ministry without the commissioning of Jesus (Romans 10:15). However, ...read more

    The Trial Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,256 views

    The speaking God makes His own case.

    THE TRIAL OF GOD. Isaiah 44:6-8. The LORD is deeply grieved by His people’s tendency towards idol worship. Again and again He asserts His superiority over the nations, whose ‘gods’ are nothing but dumb idols (1 Corinthians 12:2). Not only does the LORD put the false gods on trial, but He is ...read more

    Blessing the LORD for all His gracious benefits.

    AWAKENING TO WORSHIP. Psalm 103:1-8. Psalm 103:1. Sometimes we are sluggish about praising God, so we have to stir ourselves up, searching within ourselves whether there might be anything hindering us from the right worship of the LORD. Having awoken our “soul” to the task, we must delve ...read more

    A promise of a full redemption and restoration.

    A PLEDGE FOR A SURE FUTURE. Jeremiah 32:1-3a, Jeremiah 32:6-15. The wonderful words of hope which are found in Jeremiah 30-33 were spoken whilst Jeremiah was shut up in the court of the prison in the king of Judah's house (Jeremiah 32:2). Jeremiah was accused of committing treason, no less, ...read more

    A Leper Healed.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,868 views

    There is no true God in all the earth apart from the God of Israel.

    A LEPER HEALED. 2 Kings 5:1-3, 2 Kings 5:7-15c. Naaman, as commander of the Syrian army, was a “great” man (2 Kings 5:1), expecting “great” things (2 Kings 5:13). The king of Syria held him in high esteem, because “through him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria.” It is good that, so early ...read more

    The Word Of God, And A Heart For God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,453 views

    This is an abbreviated version of my earlier sermon on the whole Psalm, which was entitled 'A Heart for God'.

    THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God. The LORD God has entered into a covenant relationship with mankind, and spoken to us Himself. This ‘special revelation’ is explored in the second main section of this ...read more

    Not Through Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 13, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,100 views

    When we believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, our faith also will be accounted as righteousness.

    NOT THROUGH LAW. Romans 4:13-25. The Apostle Paul has already established that Abraham was not justified (made righteous) by works, otherwise he would have grounds of boasting - and who can boast before God? (Romans 4:2). Neither was Abraham justified by circumcision, since that rite was not ...read more

    A Painful Account.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,846 views

    The substitutionary character of the sacrifice of Jesus.

    A PAINFUL ACCOUNT. Isaiah 53:4-12. The repulsion evoked by the Cross of Jesus is countered by the recognition of the substitutionary character of His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:4). We may have seen Jesus as One “stricken” by God – but the toll which He was paying was not His own. No, indeed, it was ...read more
