  • The Inclusiveness Of The Church Age

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,381 views

    ALL who are in Christ Jesus are accepted by God. We have no right to refuse any whom God has received.

    THE INCLUSIVENESS OF THE CHURCH AGE. Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-8. The idea here seems to be that the community of God’s people should “preserve justice and do righteousness” (Isaiah 56:1). The reason is not far to seek: “for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed”. ...read more

    The ultimate triumph of the gospel.

    THINGS PLANNED LONG AGO. Isaiah 25:1-9. This passage begins in song (Isaiah 25:1), and ends in song (Isaiah 25:9), with a feast in between (Isaiah 25:6-8). The first song is a solo, “You are my God” (Isaiah 25:1) and begins with praise to the LORD for “the wonderful things” that He has ...read more

    Having asked the LORD to “show me now thy way,” Moses next waxed bold to ask, “I beseech thee, show me thy glory.”

    THE PRESENCE AND GLORY OF THE LORD. Exodus 33:12-23. 1. Show Me Thy Way (Exodus 33:12-17). EXODUS 33:12. Earlier in the chapter the LORD had said: ‘Go up hence, thou and the people… unto the land which I sware unto Abraham… I will send an angel before thee (cf. Exodus 33:1-2). Yet Moses now ...read more

  • The Sanctity Of The Sabbath.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 648 views

    Nobody should be required to work more than six days a week.

    THE SANCTITY OF THE SABBATH. Deuteronomy 5:12-15. The Sabbath is to be “kept” and “sanctified” (i.e. set apart for God) - as the LORD our God has commanded (DEUTERONOMY 5:12). It is to be ‘remembered’ (cf. Exodus 20:8) - which implies that it was already known about prior to the giving of the ...read more

  • A Passion For God's Ancient People. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 18, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 850 views

    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

  • From Egypt To Canaan.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,883 views

    The holy God remembered His covenant with Abraham, and kept His holy promise.

    FROM EGYPT TO CANAAN. Psalm 105:1-6, Psalm 105:37-45. PSALM 105:1. There is a call to “give thanks to the LORD.” It is always appropriate to remember and acknowledge the LORD’s gracious dealings with us. Then there is an exhortation to “call upon His name.” We offer our praise and ...read more

  • Israel Exalted.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 17, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,010 views

    Re-establishing the Davidic dynasty through Jesus.

    ISRAEL EXALTED. Ezekiel 17:22-24. The word of the LORD came ‘expressly’ to the priest Ezekiel in ‘the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity’ (cf. Ezekiel 1:2-3). Our present chapter is a ‘riddle,’ or an allegory: ‘a parable unto the house of Israel’ (EZEKIEL 17:2). It speaks of two eagles: ...read more

  • A Prayer For The King.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 831 views

    The LORD accept thy burnt sacrifice. Psalm 20.3.

    A PRAYER FOR THE KING. Psalm 20:1-9. Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John and instructed them to ‘watch’ with Him (cf. Matthew 26:38), and to ‘watch and pray’ (cf. Matthew 26:41). I wonder what prayers they might have made on His behalf if their sleepy heads could have stayed awake long ...read more

  • The Love Of Jonathan And The Resentment Of Saul.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,024 views

    Jonathan confirmed the kingship of David by clothing him in the regalia of the Crown Prince; whereas Saul confirmed the kingship of David by putting him in the forefront of the battle.

    THE LOVE OF JONATHAN AND THE RESENTMENT OF SAUL. 1 Samuel 17:57-58, 1 Samuel 18:1-5, 1 Samuel 18:10-16. It was evidently quite difficult for Saul to recognise in the giant slayer the same young man who had been serving at court as his own personal music therapist (1 SAMUEL 17:57-58; cf. 1 Samuel ...read more

    The LORD of hosts was with him. 2 Samuel 5:10.

    THE THIRD ANOINTING OF DAVID: KING OVER ALL ISRAEL. 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:9-10. After the LORD had rejected Saul from being king (cf. 1 Samuel 15:23), the LORD sent Samuel to anoint David (cf. 1 Samuel 16:1). The LORD had sought Him ‘a man after His own heart’ (cf. 1 Samuel 13:14), and ...read more

  • Parable Of The Serving Master.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,360 views

    Be prepared for the return of Jesus at an unexpected time.

    PARABLE OF THE SERVING MASTER. Luke 12:32-40. Jesus reminds His “little flock” that “it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). The imperative of Luke 12:33, rightly understood, becomes a marker of where our heart lies (Luke 12:34). We must hold the things of this ...read more

    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

  • Israel As Vine

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,037 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

  • The Call Of Elisha.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,885 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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,133 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
