    God has given us His grace to aspire towards this high standard of AGAPE Love.

    THE GOD KIND OF LOVE. Luke 6:27-38. The Sermon on the Plain is directed towards those who ‘came to hear’ Jesus (Luke 6:17). It was ‘toward His disciples’ that Jesus first lifted up His eyes (Luke 6:20). That emphasis is repeated at the beginning of the present passage (Luke 6:27). These are ...read more

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    A TABLE SPREAD. John 6:1-14. “After these things” (John 6:1), Jesus and His disciples crossed the sea of Galilee. “And a great multitude followed Him because they saw His miracles which He did to them which were diseased" (John 6:2). Jesus and His disciples then withdrew from the ...read more

    SIMEON, ANNA AND JESUS. Luke 2:22-40. I. THE SONG OF SIMEON. Luke 2:22-35. Nearly six weeks after the birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph went up to the Temple in Jerusalem, with baby Jesus, to fulfil the rite of purification.

  • O Ye His Saints.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 987 views

    Saints are humble folks who revere the Lord.

    O YE HIS SAINTS. Psalm 34:1-10, Psalm 34:22. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (cf. 1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, ...read more

  • A Metaphor Of A Vine

    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

  • Sorrow Will Turn To Joy.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 948 views

    "I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice" (John 16:22).

    SORROW WILL TURN TO JOY. John 16:16-22. JOHN 16:16a. The sense of John 16:16 seems to be “A little while and ye do not behold Me…” This refers to the fact that within hours Jesus would be arrested, tried, crucified, and buried. JOHN 16:16b. “again a little while, and ye shall see me” brings us ...read more

  • The Comforter, And Persecution.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 749 views

    The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus with us, and through us. And to God alone be the glory. Amen.

    THE COMFORTER, AND PERSECUTION. John 15:26-27, John 16:1-4. 1. The Coming of the Comforter. John 15:26-27. As we enter this part of our text, it is well to note, first, the certainty of the event: “When the Comforter IS COME” (John 15:26a). But when did the disciples receive the Holy ...read more

  • The Grace Of Service.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,118 views

    A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

    THE GRACE OF SERVICE. 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter has already told us the ‘last days’ began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:16-18). Now he tells us that “the end of all things is at hand” (1 PETER 4:7a). Although he wrote those words nearly two millennia ago, that sense of imminence remains. The question is: ...read more

  • Jesus Upon The Cross.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,727 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

  • A Spiritual Abiding Of The Father And The Son

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 19, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,211 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

  • Breathe On Me Breath Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 28, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,105 views

    The remission or retaining of sins is declarative, and belongs to the task of preaching the gospel.

    BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD. John 20:19-23. It was the evening of the first day of the week: the day of the resurrection; the first day of the new creation. The disciples met together behind closed doors “for fear” (John 20:19). Fear stifles faith: this is why the Lord and His messengers so ...read more

  • The Burial Of Jesus.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,833 views

    Two hitherto hidden disciples step boldly forth.

    THE BURIAL OF JESUS. John 19:38-42. JOHN 19:38. After the flow of blood and water, a hitherto “secret” (literally, ‘concealed’) disciple stepped forward: Joseph of Arimathea. The “fear of the Jews” (the Jewish leadership, of which he was a part) had prevented Joseph from admitting his ...read more

  • Paradigms Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,440 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

  • A Messianic Agenda

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 2, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,339 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
