    Various Exhortations.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 381 views

    Manifesting Christian ethics in our daily walk.

    VARIOUS EXHORTATIONS. Hebrews 13:1-6. I. PRACTICAL LOVE (Hebrews 13:1-3). 1. “Brotherly love” (Hebrews 13:1). Jesus is ‘not ashamed’ to call us brethren (cf. Hebrews 2:11-12). The readers of Hebrews are viewed as ‘holy brethren’ (cf. Hebrews 3:1). This section begins abruptly: literally, “The ...read more

    Some Observations Of Solomon.

     | 82 views

    Words fitly spoken.

    SOME OBSERVATIONS OF SOLOMON. Proverbs 25:6-14. 1. “Come up hither” (Proverbs 25:6-7). This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (cf. Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, ...read more

    The Christian And Sin. Abridged.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 453 views

    "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (1 John 3:1).

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. Abridged. 1 John 3:1-8. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 JOHN 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 493 views

    Deliverance and Discontentment, Provision and Testing.

    QUAIL AND MANNA: TOKENS OF HIS PRESENCE. Exodus 16:2-7a. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey. The ten plagues, the first Passover, the deliverance out of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea all lay behind them. Yet now, here in the ...read more

    Scripture fulfilled.

    JESUS CRUCIFIED. John 19:1-37. 1). BEHOLD YOUR KING. John 19:1-16. JOHN 19:1. 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 ...read more

    Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,530 views

    Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

    FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

     | 535 views

    Walk in Love. Awake from the dead! Walk in Light.

    WAKEFUL WALKING IN LIGHT AND LOVE. Ephesians 5:1-14. I). Walking in Love and Light. Ephesians 5:1-9. When we are ‘imitators’ of God as ‘beloved children,’ we will ‘walk in love’ (agape) toward one another (cf. EPHESIANS 5:1-2). Our model of love is the Lord Jesus Christ, who ‘loved us and ...read more

    The Passion according to Matthew.

    FROM THE PLOT TO THE TOMB. Matthew 26:1-75, Matthew 27:1-61. I). JESUS PREPARED FOR DEATH. Matthew 26:1-13. There are two ways in which Jesus was prepared for death in this passage. The first is in the sense that He was prepared within Himself: nothing that was about to happen took Him by ...read more

    A Prayer For Protection.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 245 views

    "Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man" (Psalm 140:1a).

    A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION. Psalm 140:1-9. This is a Psalm of David, no doubt from the time when he was pursued by his enemies in the wilderness. The Psalm switches between singular foes: pointing perhaps particularly to king Saul and his three thousand men at arms; and Doeg and the Ziphites, who ...read more

    The Battle Within.

     | 632 views

    "But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law" (Galatians 5:18).

    THE BATTLE WITHIN. Galatians 5:16-24. We must “walk in the (Holy) Spirit”: to which imperative is added a promise, “and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh” (GALATIANS 5:16). We need to be aware of the spiritual nature of the battle in which we are engaged (GALATIANS 5:17). If we are ...read more

    The Reign Of Messiah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 369 views

    The nature and extent of His dominion.

    THE REIGN OF MESSIAH. Psalm 72:1-8. The name of Solomon is associated with this Psalm, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. However, Christians recognise Jesus as the fullest fulfilment of the ideal king in this chapter. Psalm 72:1. As ...read more

    A Story Within A Story.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 779 views

    Jesus has power over both disease and death.

    A STORY WITHIN A STORY. Matthew 9:18-26. In this particular section Matthew presents us with a ‘story within a story’ – and, as you might expect with such a literary device, there are both similarities and dissimilarities. First, we see the contrast in status of Jesus’ two petitioners. One ...read more

    A Plea For Relief.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 79 views

    The church’s cause is the LORD’s own cause.

    A PLEA FOR RELIEF. Psalm 74:19-23. The Psalmist is addressing the LORD when he says, “O deliver not the soul of THY turtledove unto the multitude” (PSALM 74:19a). The soul of a believer is compared to a turtledove. Jesus addresses the Church as ‘MY dove’ in Song of Songs 2:14. Doves were kept ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,255 views

    “Put off the old man” (EPHESIANS 4:22), and “put on the new man” (EPHESIANS 4:24).

    THE OLD LIFE AND THE NEW. Ephesians 4:17-32. Having argued the case for keeping the unity of the body of Christ (cf. Ephesians 4:1-16), Paul now moves on to insist upon the maintenance of true holiness. EPHESIANS 4:17. The “therefore” connects with the ‘therefore’ in Ephesians 4:1. Paul is ...read more

    An evangelistic appeal.

    THE GREAT INVITATION. Isaiah 55:6-11. ISAIAH 55:6. We are exhorted to seek the LORD, while He may be found. If we seek Him with all our heart, and all our soul, we will find Him.
