    Reconciliation, And Grace To Follow.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,098 views

    Our reconciliation with God is made possible by the grace of God through the work of Christ. Having been reconciled, we are made the righteousness of God in Him. We are enabled, by the same grace of God, to follow God in the way of righteousness.

    RECONCILIATION, AND GRACE TO FOLLOW. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. As an ambassador for Christ, Paul was pleading with the Corinthians - on behalf of Christ - that they go on being reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20). We may feel that this is unnecessary: if we are ‘called ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 691 views

    A time for everything.

    THE RELENTLESS RHYTHMS OF TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:1-13. ‘Turn, turn, turn’ is the refrain of the old pop song based upon these verses. However, time is not circular, but linear: it is more like a river relentlessly, but always, running downstream. It is our subjective experience of time that gives ...read more

    The most significant census of all history.

    A ROYAL NATIVITY. Luke 2:1-7. Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that “all the world” should be “registered” (Luke 2:1). Unbeknown to the mighty Emperor, this was going to be the most significant census of all history. After all, even the most powerful of potentates are subservient, whether ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,041 views

    The willingness of Jesus to die for us.

    THE ARREST OF JESUS. John 18:1-14. After the Passover meal, the institution of the Lord’s Supper, the Upper Room discourse, and Jesus’ great high priestly prayer, Jesus led His disciples over the brook Kidron to the garden of Gethsemane (John 18:1). Judas, possessed by Satan (cf. John 13:2; ...read more

    The humiliation of Jesus, the frustration of Pilate, and the treason of the Jewish priesthood.

    BEHOLD YOUR KING. John 19:1-16. The nineteenth chapter of John’s Gospel opens in the midst of the ridiculous drama of Pilate’s darting back and forth between the hypocritical Jewish leadership on the doorstep, who refused to come into the judgment hall of the palace ‘lest they be defiled and ...read more

    A sign refused - a sign offered nonetheless.

    IMMANUEL: WITH US THE GOD. Isaiah 7:10-14. The northern kingdom of Israel/Ephraim, along with her ally Syria/Aram, intended to force the Davidic kingdom of Judah into their alliance against the Assyrians (Isaiah 7:1), by setting up a puppet king - a ‘Son of No Good’ (Isaiah 7:6) - in Jerusalem. ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,229 views

    While Jesus stood bound in the house of the high priest, bold outspoken Peter denied Him three times.

    DENIALS AND TRUTH. John 18:15-40. Although the disciples all initially scattered immediately after Jesus’ arrest (cf. Matthew 26:56), Simon Peter and “another disciple” thereafter followed Jesus and gained entrance into the palace of the high priest. The girl at the door challenged Peter, ...read more

    A Visitation By God And The Compassion Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2016
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,283 views

    Jesus, who has power over life and death, has compassion on us, too, no matter what our situation in life. God has visited His people, and visits us still.

    A VISITATION BY GOD, AND THE COMPASSION OF JESUS. Luke 7:11-17. It is interesting to compare this incident with that in the immediately preceding passage. In Luke 7:1-10 a Roman centurion pleaded with Jesus on behalf of his bondman, who otherwise had no voice, and no rights. The centurion, ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,589 views

    Prayer, thanksgiving, confession and praise as community activities. Pass it on.

    A. C. T. S. OF SOLIDARITY. Isaiah 12. When I was coming to rebirth as a newborn Christian, I remember our Pastor sharing a well-known acrostic as a guideline for prayer. Thus, A.C.T.S. spells out the words: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication. It is a familiar device which I even ...read more

    Grace And Peace, Thanksgiving And Fellowship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,185 views

    Grace as the source of spiritual gifts. Peace as something more than the absence of war. Thanksgiving is for always. Fellowship in Christ draws individuals together.

    GRACE AND PEACE, THANKSGIVING AND FELLOWSHIP. 1 Corinthians 1:3-9. It was customary for Greek and Roman letter-writers in the first century A.D. to prefix their epistles with “greetings” (Acts 15:23; James 1:1). Paul regularly uses a pun, replacing “greetings” with “grace” (1 Corinthians 1:3). ...read more

    1 Peter 1:10-12 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories.12 It ...read more

    The Unlikely (Advent 2009)

    Micah prophesied to people in a time and place that seemed doomed to failure. How many times have we known people who have had a pessimistic view about the promise of the future?

    THE UNLIKELY Text: Micah 5:2 - 5 Years ago I was at a little league baseball game. The underdog was behind by eight points by the very last inning of the game. You would have thought that it was safe to go home as if the game was already over. In fact, some did go home. But, the best was ...read more

    All ten of these patients were healed of their leprosy, but only one was made whole - and he was the one who returned to give thanks.

    A SAMARITAN SAVED. Luke 17:11-19. This well-known and wonderful passage, unique to Luke’s Gospel, gives us (first) an account of the cleansing of ten lepers. Second, it celebrates the gratitude of one of them (who happened to be a Samaritan). Thirdly, it tells us of the Samaritan’s salvation by ...read more
