  • Now Faith Is.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,394 views

    The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    NOW FAITH IS. Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 11:8-16. This chapter follows on from the quotation of Habakkuk 2:4 in Hebrews 10:38a: ‘the just shall live by faith’ (see also Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). “Now faith is,” continues Hebrews 11:1. The first thing that we learn about faith is that ...read more

    The finest of wheat, and honey out of the Rock.

    OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT. Psalm 81:1, Psalm 81:10-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:10. “I am the LORD your God, who ...read more

  • Create In Me A Clean Heart.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,015 views

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

  • A Visitation By The Lord.

     | 1,656 views

    Hospitality, and a promise reiterated.

    A VISITATION BY THE LORD. Genesis 18:1-10a. This passage is described as an encounter in which “the LORD” (= YHWH, Hebrew) “appeared unto” Abraham when he was having his siesta “in the heat of the day.” When he lifted up his head, suddenly, there were three men standing by him. As if waking ...read more

  • An Indictment Against The Unscrupulous.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,337 views

    The LORD cares for the poor. So should we.

    AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS. Amos 8:4-7. You trample upon the needy and make the poor of the land fail (Amos 8:4; cf. Amos 5:11). Your religious observances are hypocritical, and you cheat your customers with false weights and measures (Amos 8:5). You enslave the poor and needy ...read more

  • Come Let Us Reason Together.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,018 views

    The failure of our efforts and the glory of Christ's work.

    COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10). It is all quite shocking: how dare he expose our comfortable, upright congregation to such strong language? After all, ...read more

  • You Forgave Me.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,721 views

    Unrepentant silence is detrimental to our spiritual well-being.

    YOU FORGAVE ME. Psalm 32:1-7. 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 can find this ...read more

  • Come Up Hither.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,437 views

    Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

    COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

  • As Sheep Among Wolves

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,402 views

    More mission insights from the little Commission.

    AS SHEEP AMONG WOLVES. Matthew 10:9-23. Jesus was very specific in His first instructions to the twelve Apostles, that they ‘Go not into the way of the Gentiles’, nor enter any city of the Samaritans, but seek out none other than ‘the lost sheep of the house of Israel’ (cf. Matthew 10:5-6). ...read more

  • Preach The Word.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,982 views

    A Solemn Charge to the Man of God.

    PREACH THE WORD. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Paul has just given Timothy the assurance that “ALL Scripture is out-breathed by God and is profitable… that the man of God may be” complete, fully equipped for whatever work God has for us (2 Timothy 3:16-17). “I charge you therefore before God,” ...read more

  • The Succession Of Elisha.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,467 views

    With the dramatic departure of Elijah, his servant Elisha calmly took up the mantle. The Holy Spirit ensures continuity in ministry.

    THE SUCCESSION OF ELISHA. 2 Kings 2:1-2; 2 Kings 2:6-14. 1. The main theme of 2 Kings 2:1-14 is not so much the whirlwind, which is only cursorily mentioned (2 Kings 2:1), but rather the matter of succession. Nicely poised between the end of the reign of one king (2 Kings 1:17-18), and the ...read more

  • The Faithful Comforted.

     | 1,646 views

    The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants.

    THE FAITHFUL COMFORTED. Isaiah 66:10-14. This short passage was originally addressed to the faithful remnant within Israel, a nation within a nation if you will, a nation as it were ‘born in a day’ (cf. Isaiah 66:8). ISAIAH 66:10. These were the faithful who kept hope alive, even through ...read more

  • The Water Walking Jesus.

     | 1,540 views

    Welcoming Jesus back into our lives.

    THE WATER WALKING JESUS. John 6:15-21. JOHN 6:15. Jesus knows what is in the heart of man, and literally “knowing” that they “are about to come” and seize Him, that they may make Him a king, He “withdrew Himself again to the mountain Himself alone.” The picture seems to be of an enthusiastic ...read more

  • Ishmael.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,084 views

    The on-going contention between the son of Hagar, and the seed of Sarah

    ISHMAEL. Genesis 21:8-21. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD pointed him towards the ...read more

  • The Faith Of Abraham. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,950 views

    The LORD will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Abridged. Genesis 22:1-14. Sometimes in our Christian lives we are challenged to surrender to God that which we hold most dear, that upon which we set our hopes, even that which God has given to us as a gift. God promised Abraham a son, but the patriarch’s wife ...read more
