    based on 2 ratings
     | 791 views

    "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (Matthew 11:6).

    JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 11:2-10. MATTHEW 11:2-3. We do not know for sure why John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. Perhaps prison had knocked the wind out of his sails, and he wanted some reassurance that it had not all been in vain. Or perhaps it was for ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 695 views

    The one who brings salvation, and a safe dwelling place for His people, is ‘the LORD our righteousness’ (JEREMIAH 23:6).

    THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-8. “Behold… the word of the LORD,” (JEREMIAH 23:5). The prophet uses the image of a righteous Branch growing out of a felled tree – which so wonderfully typifies God’s dealings with His people. Just when the tree of David seems to be left without hope, ...read more

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    FIVE THOUSAND FED. John 6:5-14. Jesus looked up “and saw a great company” of people coming to Him.

    “When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (LUKE 21:28).

    SIGNS OF THE END. Luke 21:25-33. The apocalyptic imagery which Jesus employs (LUKE 21:25-27) might at first seem uncharacteristic of our loving Lord Jesus: but He stood in the long tradition of the prophets of old (e.g. Joel 2:30-32; Isaiah 24:19). In fact, the return of Jesus as judge will ...read more

  • From Epiphany To Transfiguration

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 29, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,786 views

    An epiphany is a sudden and unexpected revelation. Transfiguration is seeing Jesus in all His glory. It is His righteousness which prepares us to face God.

    FROM EPIPHANY TO TRANSFIGURATION. Psalm 50:1-6. An epiphany is a wonderful, unpredictable thing. It is defined as a sudden and unexpected revelation. It is not something that we come to expect, or can hunt down. Not something that we can earn through works, or prayers, or religious rites. Or ...read more

    Psalm 51; 2 Samuel 11-12 "C.P.R." Ash Wednesday INTRO: Today is Ash Wednesday, and throughout the world, Christians of many branches of Christ's church are observing this unique day in the Christian calendar. It is a day of penitence, and fasting. It is, quite frankly, a rather gloomy day. ...read more

    The A C B’s of Spiritual Growth 1 John 2:12-14 Who here would like to grow in their spiritual walk?

    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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 7, 2013
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,169 views

    Joseph was not afraid to take the lead in his family, and opened his heart and his home to the Son of God.

    JOSEPH’S DREAM. Matthew 1:18-25. Joseph was a dreamer. This was true of the Old Testament Joseph, the son of Jacob, derogatively referred to as “this dreamer” (cf. Genesis 37:19). It was also true of the New Testament Joseph, recognised here as “the son of David” (Matthew 1:20). Joseph ...read more

Moses’ prayer (NUMBERS 10:35-36) encourages us to begin and end every day, every journey, every project and every ministry with prayer. Our attitude should be one of prayerfulness throughout.

  • Towards Sanctification.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 11, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 340 views

    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 28, 2023

     | 2,157 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

     | 2,385 views

    Never mind the preacher. Look to the One preached.

    THE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. John 1:19-28. The witness of John is put on record (John 1:19) because the Council in Jerusalem sent a delegation to him, asking who he thought he was, preaching without licence (from them) out there in the wilderness.

    God is unchangeable, but our experience of His Providence may vary from time to time.

    TURN US, SHINE FORTH, SAVE US. Psalm 80:1-7. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control of all things is to make our complaints known to Him. In Psalm 80 the writer bemoans the plight of the divided tribes ...read more
