    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,303 views

    Scriptural testimony of the resurrection of Jesus.

    A PROCLAMATION TO BE BELIEVED. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about. Here in 1 Corinthians, Paul is not teaching his readers something new, but reviewing that which he taught ...read more

    The deaf hear, and the dumb speak. Mark 7:37.

    HE HAS DONE ALL THINGS WELL. Mark 7:31-37. Jesus was heading towards the Sea of Galilee (Mark 7:31). The next people He met were the friends of a deaf man who had such an impediment in his speech that it sounded like his tongue was tied up in knots. They brought him to Jesus, begging that ...read more

  • A Question Of Priorities.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 624 views

    "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).

    A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES. Matthew 6:24-34. MATTHEW 6:24. We must choose between “God” and “Mammon.” It is all a question of priorities. If we are a slave to the things of this world, then we cannot be an effective servant of the kingdom of God. MATTHEW 6:25. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate ...read more

  • Thanksgiving For The Grace Of God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 415 views

    Thank God for the grace given by Jesus Christ.

    THANKSGIVING FOR THE GRACE OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8. Paul offers thanksgiving to God for the church at Corinth (1 CORINTHIANS 1:4). This is good pastoral care: Paul wants the Corinthians to know that, even if he does have some stern words to speak to them, it is because his heart longs for ...read more

  • When Ye Fast.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 244 views

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

    WHEN YE FAST. Matthew 6:16-21. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray (Matthew 6:16). So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner (Matthew 6:17). The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men (Matthew ...read more

  • A Standard Raised.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 364 views

    Redemption for the Israel of God.

    A STANDARD RAISED. Isaiah 62:10-12. This prophecy is fulfilled at more than one level. There is a level of fulfilment for those Jews who lived in the days of Cyrus king of Persia (Ezra 1:1-4). At the raising of God’s standard (ISAIAH 62:10), they were able to leave behind the gates of Babylon ...read more

  • The Lord Is My Salvation.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 474 views

    The name Jesus means 'The LORD is salvation.' It is He who has saved me!

    THE LORD MY SALVATION. Psalm 118:14-21. This Psalm is the last of the processional Psalms which were sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for the great Jewish feasts. There are echoes of the Passover, and anticipations of the death and resurrection of Jesus. PSALM 118:14 takes us back ...read more

  • The Call Of Elisha. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 367 views

    No looking back!

    THE CALL OF ELISHA. Abridged. 1 Kings 19:19-21. The LORD’s practical response to His despondent servant Elijah was to call him back to duty, and to give him the responsibility for the anointing of (amongst others) a young apprentice for Elijah to mentor (cf. 1 Kings 19:16). This was delegation ...read more

  • Paul Plays The Fool.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 184 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

  • The Feast Of Weeks.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 98 views

    When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

    THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

  • The Return Of The Son Of Man.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 403 views

    The tribes of the earth may well mourn at His presence, but He will send His angels to gather together His own elect people from the four corners of the earth. Take courage, dear Christian!

    THE RETURN OF THE SON OF MAN. Matthew 24:23-31. Jesus here warns us against the danger of false Christs and false prophets. Even the very elect of God might be deceived, He says, "if it were possible" (Matthew 24:24). Well, how shall the second coming of Christ be known? Will it be ...read more

  • Unto Us A Son Is Given

    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,096 views

    The in-breaking of the holy into the world of men.

    UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN. Isaiah 9:2-7. 1. Troubled times It is quite appropriate that the sign of God’s deliverance from oppressive times should be in the birth of a child: for He says, “My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Whether in Judah’s oppression by Aram and ...read more

  • The Flourishing Of Righteousness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,281 views

    The LORD promises peace, providing we do not return to folly.

    THE FLOURISHING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Psalm 85:8-13. The Psalmist - the believer, standing for the church - stops in his tracks and listens to what God has to say (Psalm 85:8-9). It is as we systematically and habitually study the Bible that we will be in a position to hear the still small voice ...read more

  • Growing Towards The Day

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,453 views

    He who has begun a good work in you will continue working at it, and will be bringing it to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.

    GROWING TOWARDS THE DAY. Philippians 1:3-11. Like all good projects, it all began with a vision. The Apostle Paul and his party had been “forbidden by the Holy Ghost” to preach the word in Asia, then tried to go into Bithynia “but the Spirit suffered them not.” Then a man of Macedonia appeared ...read more
