  • Precious In His Sight, And Loved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 20, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,217 views

    The in-gathering of Israel, and of the nations.

    PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT, AND LOVED. Isaiah 43:1-7. This beautiful poem is a love letter. It is from the LORD, who created the world (Isaiah 40:26), and who directs the affairs of nations (Isaiah 40:22-23). It is from the One who created Jacob, and formed the nation of Israel (Isaiah 43:1). The ...read more

  • Arise, Shine, Your Light Is Come

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 13 ratings
     | 15,510 views

    Our job is to reflect His light.

    ARISE, SHINE, YOUR LIGHT IS COME. Isaiah 60:1-6. Zion was enveloped in a thick spiritual darkness on account of her sins (Isaiah 59:9-12). It was a darkness like the deepest discouragements and depression of the human heart: a darkness that could be felt (Exodus 10:21). It was a darkness that ...read more

  • All The World Is A Stage

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,695 views

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE. Matthew 6:1-6; Matthew 6:16-21. “All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare reminds us, “and all the men and women merely players.” “And one man,” continues the playwright, “in his time plays many parts…” Jesus’ teaching on almsgiving, prayer and fasting in the Sermon on ...read more

  • Arise! Get Up! Come Forth!

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 30, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,778 views

    The incarnation is all about what Jesus came to do.

    ARISE! GET UP! COME FORTH! John 5:1-9; John 5:21-30. The miracle [literally 'sign' (John 4:54)] of the healing of the boy at Capernaum is immediately followed in John’s account with another healing, this time at an unspecified feast in Jerusalem (John 5:1-9). THE NEED (John 5:1-5). A ...read more

  • Isaac And Ishmael

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,207 views

    When faith fails, then flesh takes over.

    ISAAC AND ISHMAEL. Galatians 4:21-31. 1. The History. 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 ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,435 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

  • Our Part In The Refining Process

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,228 views

    This seemingly random selection of exhortations follows on from Hebrews 12:29, and represents our part in the refining process which God is working in our lives (cf. Ephesians 4:1).

    OUR PART IN THE REFINING PROCESS. Hebrews 13:1-8; Hebrews 13:15-16. I. PRACTICAL LOVE (Hebrews 13:1-3). 1. “Brotherly love” (Hebrews 13:1). Jesus is ‘not ashamed’ to call us brethren (Hebrews 2:11-12). The readers of Hebrews are viewed as ‘holy brethren’ (Hebrews 3:1). This section begins ...read more

  • Universal Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,885 views

    We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

    UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

  • Warnings And Promises For Evil Days

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 7, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,454 views

    Times and signs.

    WARNINGS & PROMISES FOR EVIL DAYS. Luke 21:5-19. Every so often we are confronted with all the uncertainty that arises from the dawn of what seem to be evil days. One hundred years ago people wondered if the fierce battles of World War One represented the Apocalyptic Armageddon. Then came ...read more

  • Christ The End Of The Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,775 views

    Righteousness by law versus righteousness by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    CHRIST THE END OF THE LAW. Romans 10:5-15. Jesus is the fulfilment of all that the law signified, and met all its righteous demands against ourselves. He is the end of the law as a possible means of our becoming righteousness. In Romans 10:4, the Apostle Paul says (literally): ‘For the end of ...read more

  • A Place Of Security For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,074 views

    Jesus speaks in no uncertain terms of the status of those who continue in unbelief, and the security of His own sheep.

    A PLACE OF SECURITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. John 10:22-30. Place is perhaps as important as time in this text. It was winter, and Jesus was walking under the shelter of Solomon’s Colonnade in the Temple (John 10:22-23). This was evidently a part of the original Temple which had remained ...read more

  • A Path From Babel To Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,309 views

    Babel speaks of "confusion", and is a byword for all that is wrong with the world. Only Pentecost could bring order.

    A PATH FROM BABEL TO PENTECOST. Genesis 11:1-9. The height of our tallest building does not necessarily impress God: He has to “come down” even to see it (Genesis 11:5). Babel - to the Babylonians - spoke of ‘the gateway to the gods’: and yet man was there found still aspiring to get where he ...read more

  • Amazing Faith Of A Centurion

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 9, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,153 views

    I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Luke 7:9).

    AMAZING FAITH OF A CENTURION. Luke 7:1-10. It is interesting to note that, in this busy little cameo, two of the main characters remain offstage throughout. In Luke’s record, the incident takes place immediately after the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). Jesus had said all He was going to say ...read more

  • The Good Deposit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,819 views

    1. "Keep the Committed Deposit" of the gospel; 2. In a verse which has become so familiar in translation that we almost forget to check the Greek language which lies behind it, we discover that only "He is able to Keep my Committed Deposit."

    THE GOOD DEPOSIT. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. At the end of his previous letter, Paul encouraged Timothy to ‘KEEP’ - or guard - the ‘COMMITTED DEPOSIT’ (1 Timothy 6:20). In the second letter, Paul reiterates this instruction in much the same words: “the good DEPOSIT COMMITTED … KEEP” (2 Timothy 1:14). ...read more

  • The Appearing Of Our Saviour

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,301 views

    The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of the purpose of God for mankind from all eternity.

    THE “APPEARING” OF OUR SAVIOUR. 2 Timothy 1:8-11. The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of God’s purpose for mankind from all eternity. It is the manifestation of the salvation determined from, literally, “before the ages of time” (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; cf. Romans 16:25). No ...read more
