  • The Centrality Of Scripture

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,504 views

    What Scripture is, who is its Author, and what it is for.

    THE CENTRALITY OF SCRIPTURE. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 1. Three times Paul addresses Timothy with an emphatic “you therefore" (2 Timothy 2:1) or “but you” (2 Timothy 3:10; 2 Timothy 3:14). In the fist instance, this sets Timothy alongside those who refreshed Paul in his imprisonment (2 Timothy ...read more

  • New Wine With Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,295 views

    The passing of old things, and the ushering in of new.

    NEW WINE WITH JESUS. John 2:1-11. The Gospel of John provides us with an unashamedly theological overview of the person of Christ. We are introduced to our Lord under the Genesis motif “in the beginning” (John 1:1), and as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). Throughout the book, John’s preferred ...read more

  • The Lamb Is The Light

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 12 ratings
     | 6,287 views

    The Lamb is ranked beside the Lord God Almighty as the Temple and the Light in the city of New Jerusalem.

    THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT. Revelation 21:10; Revelation 21:22-27; Revelation 22:1-5. This is part of John’s vision of the holy city (Revelation 21:2), “that great city, New Jerusalem” (Revelation 21:10). New Jerusalem is so vast, that John had to be placed on “a great and high mountain” in order to ...read more

  • Grace In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,640 views

    There is hope for the children of believers, if they will but put their trust in God.

    GRACE IN THE WILDERNESS. Jeremiah 32. The LORD speaks of Israel's time after her deliverance from Egypt as a “time of espousals,” when she was “holiness to the LORD” (Jeremiah 2:2-3). This may seem a little surprising, since we know that the forty years wandering in the wilderness were a ...read more

  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,904 views

    Hannah was seeing beyond the circumstance of the birth of Samuel to something of its significance.

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child. Yet it is not only a personal response to one particular situation: it is a response which all of God’s people are ...read more

  • A Spiritual Abiding Of The Father And The Son

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 19, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,216 views

    The post-Pentecost manifestation of God in the hearts of His people.

    A SPIRITUAL ABIDING OF THE FATHER AND THE SON. John 14:23-29. Today’s short excerpt comes by way of response to the question of Judas (not Iscariot), “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” (John 14:22). Typical of the disciples and many of their ...read more

  • A Metaphor Of A Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,470 views

    You turn us, O LORD, You shine on us. Without You there is no salvation.

    A METAPHOR OF A VINE. Psalm 80:1-2; Psalm 80:8-19. There are two metaphors in this Psalm: that of God as Shepherd (Psalm 80:1-7), and that of Israel as a vine (Psalm 80:8-16). It is upon the second of these that I wish to concentrate our attention. But first we must remind ourselves of the ...read more

  • The Grace Of Giving

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,608 views

    "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).

    THE GRACE OF GIVING. 2 Corinthians 8:7-15. 1. The example of the Macedonians (2 Corinthians 8:1-5). (v1) By the grace of God, the Macedonian churches (Philippi and Thessalonica) had been particularly forward in giving. (v2) Their gift was given out of poverty: like that of ...read more

  • Loosed! Stand Up And Praise God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 4, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,212 views

    For eighteen long years this woman had struggled with her infirmity. What better day to heal her than the Sabbath?

    LOOSED! STAND UP AND PRAISE GOD. Luke 13:10-17. In this remarkable little incident we find Jesus teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath (Luke 13:10). Perhaps one of the first things we notice is just how obedient the Lord was to the laws and customs of His time. Should not we also be ...read more

  • A Camel That Passed Through The Eye Of A Needle

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 31, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,184 views

    Jesus 'seeking and saving' the Lost.

    A CAMEL THAT PASSED THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE. Luke 19:1-10. We recently read Jesus’ parable of a rich man who was only interested in hoarding his wealth, had no present compassion for the poor, and was living as if there was no God (Luke 12:16-21). God’s verdict on this man was that he was a ...read more

  • A New Covenant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,358 views

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

  • Refocusing Our Commitment To Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,403 views

    The Guest is more important than the hospitality.

    REFOCUSING OUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS. Luke 10:38-42. Luke has arranged his material thematically (Luke 1:3), and it is interesting here to notice that this little but highly significant domestic incident immediately follows the parable of ‘the neighbourly kindness of the hated Samaritan’ (as I ...read more

  • Beware Of Covetousness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 22, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,543 views

    Hoarding wealth versus Rich toward God.

    BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS. Luke 12:13-21. Sometimes people used to approach a Rabbi to settle disputes, so the petitioner in this account may not have realized he was doing anything wrong when he approached Jesus with a request concerning the inheritance left by his father (Luke 12:13). We are not ...read more

  • A Messianic Agenda

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 2, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,342 views

    The Spirit anointed the speaker "to announce glad tidings: to heal the broken in heart; to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and the recovery of sight to the blind; to send forth the crushed in deliverance; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

    A MESSIANIC AGENDA. Luke 4:14-21. Always a methodical writer (Luke 1:3), Luke has grouped together reports of three manifestations of the Spirit’s work in Jesus’ life. The first is the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus at His baptism, that wonderful moment of Trinitarian confirmation of ...read more

  • Paradigms Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,446 views

    We pray for the glory of God. We consider that it is He who we have sinned against. We pray in solidarity with those for whom we pray. We don't try to restrict God.

    PARADIGMS OF PRAYER. 1. Solidarity with those for whom we pray (Exodus 32:30-32) Moses presents us with an example of true, thoroughgoing, intercessory prayer. This is Moses’ prayer after the infamous ‘Golden Calf’ incident, when the people had committed idolatry at the foot of Mount Sinai ...read more
