    Bridling The Tongue

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,511 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more

    Another Sad Song Of The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 24, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,027 views

    Are we about to reject the Rock of our salvation?

    ANOTHER SAD SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Matthew 21:33-46. The vineyard is a well-known motif for Israel (cf. Isaiah 5:7). We saw it in the parable of the labourers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), and in the example of the two sons whose father asked them to go and work in his vineyard (Matthew ...read more

    The Truest Freedom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,644 views

    We are set free - to the truest kind of liberty.

    THE TRUEST FREEDOM. Galatians 5:1; Galatians 5:13-25. Paul established the contrast between bondage and freedom by the use of an allegory concerning Hagar and Sarah, and their respective sons (Galatians 4:22). When we are born into this world, we are born into bondage to the corruption of ...read more

    Grace Amid Judgment

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 9, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,218 views

    Grace cannot be silenced, even in the face of judgment.

    GRACE AMID JUDGMENT. Hosea 1:2-10. This is ‘the word of the LORD that came to Hosea, son of Beeri’ (Hosea 1:1). The name Hosea, like Hoshea, Joshua, Jeshua and Jesus is derived from the verb ‘to save’. Hosea, like his contemporary Amos, prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel during the ...read more

    The Call Of Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 23, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,900 views

    Make me an offer I can't refuse!

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1). The hewing out of Lady Wisdom’s “seven pillars” speaks of completeness (unlike the ‘folly’ in Edinburgh which was never completed), spaciousness, and endurance. ‘I go to prepare a ...read more

    Hope Amid Hopelessness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 17, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,608 views

    God is good, and all things work together for good.

    HOPE AMID HOPELESSNESS. Lamentations 3:19-26. It is all too easy to forget that these words of hope and encouragement have been drawn out of the midst of the Book of Lamentations. Jeremiah penned these among the ashes of Jerusalem, a city once known as ‘the joy of the whole earth’ (Psalm ...read more

    We Do Not Lose Heart

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 15, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,707 views

    While God is preparing us for this house, Jesus is preparing this house for us.

    WE DO NOT LOSE HEART. 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1. The first thing that strikes us about this passage is the continuity between the Old Testament and the New. Paul finds his warrant to preach embedded in the book of Psalms: ‘I believed, therefore I spoke. I am greatly afflicted’ (Psalm 116:10). ...read more

    A Hard Calling

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,626 views

    It is hard preaching to hard heads and hard hearts.

    A HARD CALLING. Ezekiel 2:1-5. In times gone by, and in certain places and professions still, it was taken for granted that children would follow in the trade of their fathers. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, would have known from an early age that they were going to be fishermen. ...read more

    Anointed Ruler, Divine King

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 15, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,526 views

    The Old Testament expectation was inclining towards the coming of the warrior king. Instead, He appeared as the man on the donkey.

    ANOINTED RULER, DIVINE KING. Zechariah 9:9-12. In a series of visions, Zechariah reached beyond the needs of his own time to the coming of Jesus. In Zechariah 9:1, the eyes of men, and all Israel, were looking towards the return of the LORD to His city and Temple. The departure was foretold by ...read more

    Two Mindsets, Two Roads, Two Destinies

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 5, 2016
    based on 16 ratings
     | 8,709 views

    The present state of the believer is one of hope.

    TWO MINDSETS, TWO ROADS, TWO DESTINIES. Romans 8:6-11. This short passage describes two states of mind: literally, “the mind of the flesh (which is) death”; and “the mind of the Spirit (which is) life and peace” (Romans 8:6). These are two quite distinct mindsets, which lead to two differing ...read more

    Persistent Petitionary Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 15, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,057 views

    Jesus emphasises the importance, validity and efficacy of persistent petitionary prayer. The basis of our prayer is our relationship with God.

    PERSISTENT PETITIONARY PRAYER. Luke 11:1-13. It all began with Jesus at prayer, and with the disciples’ desire to learn from Jesus how to pray (Luke 11:1). Surprisingly, we are encouraged to pray in much the same terms as Jesus Himself. Our address towards God is to be one of familial ...read more

    A State Of Being Which Gives Rise To Activity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,196 views

    A Christian perspective on Torah.

    A STATE OF BEING WHICH GIVES RISE TO ACTIVITY. Psalm 119:1-8. We begin our study of the selected passage with the observation that the word for “blessed” is not a verb, but a noun. It is a state of being, not an activity. We are “blessed” not because “we walk in the law of the LORD”; but rather ...read more

    Jesus, The Man Of Sorrows

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 20, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,557 views

    Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus (Acts 8:35).

    JESUS, THE MAN OF SORROWS. Isaiah 52:13-53:12 – Fourth Servant Song. 1. The introduction to this prophecy of the Passion of Jesus begins not with His humiliation, but with His exaltation (Isaiah 52:13). The letter to the Hebrews speaks of Jesus, ‘who for the joy that was set before Him endured ...read more

    The Garden

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,249 views

    Man in the image of God, man in the Garden.

    THE GARDEN. Genesis 2:4-25. In Genesis 1 we saw Creation from the cosmological viewpoint of God. The expression “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth” in Genesis 2:4 links the seeming remoteness of God in the earlier account with the intimacy of the Garden, viewing Creation ...read more

    Putting Jesus First

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 16, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,106 views

    Prioritising commitments, bearing the Cross, and counting the cost of discipleship.

    PUTTING JESUS FIRST. Luke 14:25-33. I. Prioritising commitments. Jesus, it has to be admitted, is a great orator. Seeing the crowds following Him, He turned (Luke 14:25), and spoke words that were designed to shock, and even offend His hearers. In a masterstroke of hyperbole, He took their ...read more
