  • Honey Out Of The Rock

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,380 views

    Even now, God is waiting to forgive.

    HONEY OUT OF THE ROCK. Psalm 81:8-16. 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 81:8. “Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, ...read more

    Kept through the Name.

    1. I PRAY FOR THEM. John 17:1-11. During His last pre-crucifixion discourse, Jesus left the upper room with His inner band of eleven disciples, continuing to talk along the way (John 14:31). Then He prayed a very public prayer on behalf of the Apostles, and of the whole Church. This has often ...read more

    But - praise be to God - God has already come down in the Person of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    ACCESSIBILITY OF THE WORD OF GOD. Deuteronomy 30:9-14. The Book of Deuteronomy as a whole, and Deuteronomy 29-30 in particular, are written in terms reminiscent of Ancient Suzerainty treaties. Under certain terms and conditions outlined in the pronouncement of curses and blessings, a ...read more

  • Unbelieving Behaviour And The Grace Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,092 views

    The folly of living as if there is no God. A people made righteous by grace. Their persecution and deliverance.

    UNBELIEVING BEHAVIOUR AND THE GRACE OF GOD. Psalm 14. The first verse of this Psalm is well known as an argument against those who deny the very existence of God (Psalm 14:1). I am sure I have heard it preached in that way, I know I have read it so, and maybe have even mentioned it in such a ...read more

    The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former … and in this place will I give peace.

    GOD’S GLORY RETURNS TO THE TEMPLE. Haggai 2:1-9. The rebuilding of the Temple of God at Jerusalem about 537 BC met with early discouragements and setbacks. It is in this context that we first hear the prophet Haggai (Ezra 5:1). The whole of Haggai's short canonical book is designed to lift ...read more

    The ultimate harvest will be when "all the ends of the earth" revere God.

    A BLESSING FOR ALL NATIONS. Psalm 67. The opening of this Psalm echoes the beginning of the high-priestly benediction pronounced by Aaron and his sons (Psalm 67:1; cf. Numbers 6:24-25). The Psalm also has its foundations in the blessing of all the families of the earth through Abraham and His ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,093 views

    Of Jesus it was said that the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding (Isaiah 11:2).

    A TRINITARIAN DELIGHT IN CREATION. Proverbs 8:1-4; Proverbs 8:22-31. Proverbs 8:1-4 alerts us to the call of Wisdom: a call which is heard in the highways and byways of life, in the marketplaces and from the tops of the roof. Dame Folly, by way of contrast, lurks around the corner (Proverbs ...read more

  • Wrestling In Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,882 views

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

  • A Joyous Prospect

    This is not just about a City, but about the whole People of God.

    A JOYOUS PROSPECT. Isaiah 62:1-5. Isaiah’s so-called ‘Song of the Vineyard’ (Isaiah 5:1-7), spoke of a time when judgment and desolation loomed large upon the horizon of his contemporaries. There the husbandman (cf. John 15:1) looked for a fruitful harvest, but the vineyard yielded only bad ...read more

    A miraculous and timely provision.

    THE GRACE OF THE LORD IN THE MIDST OF FAMINE. 1 Kings 17:8-16. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17). This may seem an audacious thing to pray ...read more

  • Trouble At Philippi.

     | 1,734 views

    Diabolical opposition to the gospel.

    TROUBLE AT PHILIPPI. Acts 16:16-34. One of the hazards of church planting is a problem of space: where and when to gather for worship. Of course, small groups can meet in our homes: but the very beginning of gospel work might, in suitable climates, take place outdoors (cf. Acts 16:13). But ...read more

    God spoke and it was done.

    THE FIRST DAY. Genesis 1:1-5. GENESIS 1:1. “In the beginning” is a temporal expression; it pertains to time. In fact, here it refers to the beginning of time itself; but also to the beginning of Creation. This is the beginning of everything. “In the beginning God.” Before time was, before ...read more

    In wake of the September 11, 2001 attack in New York and Washington, D. C., this may serve to help convey some shared feelings in the Church and in America.
