    The Mystery Of The Resurrection.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 86 views

    What lies ahead.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51. When Paul speaks of a “mystery” he is not speaking of some secret to be kept, but rather of a hitherto hidden secret now being revealed (cf. Romans 16:25-27; Ephesians 3:3-5; Colossians 1:26). The Bible uses ‘sleep’ ...read more

    Second Sunday Of Advent, Year C: A Straight, Immovable Section.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 17, 2024
     | 928 views

    That dangerous S-curve was removed in 1981 and replaced by a straight, immovable section.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?"1 On the Second Sunday of Advent, we meet John the Baptist in the Desert: Luke 3:2: “the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the ...read more

    A Complete Way Of Life.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,765 views

    Being a Christian is not defined by what we do, or what we do not do; but by who we are, and Whose we are.

    A COMPLETE WAY OF LIFE. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24. Many people labour under the misapprehension that Christianity is negative, emphasising the prohibitions of the Ten Commandments. Yet even the Decalogue has positive commands: “Remember the Sabbath day”; “Honour your father and mother” - along ...read more

    The Envoy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,768 views

    The commission of John was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to seek honour for himself. The message of the gospel is not about us, it is about Jesus!

    THE ENVOY. John 1:6-8. “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.” John the Evangelist has introduced the Word of God ...read more

    The Voice.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,588 views

    John the Baptist provides a prime example of a preacher's humility: pointing away from himself to Jesus: not seeking to add followers to His own fold, but to Christ, the Son of God.

    THE VOICE. John 1:19-28. The prologue to John’s Gospel gives an account of how Eternity broke into time (John 1:1; John 1:14): yet Time encroaches on the very timelessness of the account in the person of “a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). This John is not to be confused with ...read more

    Preparing for Christmas means more than just shopping for presents and putting up the decorations. It means opening our hearts and lives to the working of the Holy Spirit. This is a sermon for Advent 3, Year B.

    The Promised One is Coming! Well, there are only 11 more shopping days until Christmas. Are you prepared? When many people talk about preparing for the holidays, this is the line of questioning that follows. And with good reason. If buying Christmas presents was the only thing that had to be ...read more

    God Ain’t Mad ‘Atcha The Rev. Rian Adams Luke 13:1-9 There’s a question that troubles so many people.

     | 16,609 views

    The season of advent anticipates the coming of Christ from three different perspectives. Messiah coming into history, Messiah coming into our hearts and lives; and it alerts for His second coming as the King. Advent has past, present and future in itself.

    In the Christian calendar, the new year starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas day (December 25). It is called the advent Sunday and the season of advent is for four weeks that ends on Christmas eve. It is a season observed as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of ...read more

    8 of 10. The apostle Peter informs those who are faithful in Christ, that they are amply supplied for godly living. God’s people are amply supplied for godly living thru their faith. But, ?What does Christian faith acquire for God’s people? A provision of God, acquired thru faith in Jesus, is...

    The symbolism of the serpent on the pole, and the awful reality of the Man upon the Cross.

    A SERPENT ON A POLE, AND A MAN ON A CROSS. Numbers 21:4-9.

    Who is this LORD, that we should worship Him? Why should we trust and praise this God?

    A CALL TO WORSHIP. Psalm 146. The last five Psalms (146-150) all begin and end with an exhortation to praise the LORD, addressed collectively to the congregation of God’s people. Yet it is not enough for the praise leader just to call others to worship: it is also the exercise of his own soul ...read more
