    The Ins And Outs Of Religious Purity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 8, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,801 views

    Timeless teaching from Jesus as to the true nature and source of sin.

    THE INS AND OUTS OF ‘RELIGIOUS’ PURITY. Mark 7:1-23. Every branch of society has its own traditions: some good, some bad, and some inconsequential. It doesn’t matter whether it is the pomp and ceremony of monarchy, or the ritual ‘pardon’ of a turkey at Thanksgiving. Some traditions are ...read more

    What Happens When Faith Comes From Within

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 15, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,198 views

    The obverse side of the previous conversation: what comes out of the mouth when the heart is full of faith.

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAITH COMES FROM WITHIN. Mark 7:24-37. In the earlier part of this chapter Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within (Mark 7:1-23). It is ...read more

    The Allure Of Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 21, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,073 views

    Wisdom's plaintive plea. The danger of refusal. A promise to those who will hear.

    THE ALLURE OF WISDOM. Proverbs 1:20-33. One day I was out shopping on one of the pedestrianised streets of Norwich, England, when a sudden commotion stopped me in my tracks. The City Crier’s vigorous ringing of his hand-bell, and his cry of ‘Oh Yay! Oh Yay!’ seemed to be right in my ear, and ...read more

    Trusting God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,262 views

    Our refuge is in the LORD.

    TRUSTING GOD. Psalm 91:9-16. Christians under persecution have testified to the literal truth of Psalm 91:9-10 – but this does not alter the fact that Christians still do suffer. There are times when God does not deliver us FROM things, but rather delivers us IN things (Romans 8:37). The ...read more

    The Self-Sacrifice Of The Shepherd.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,447 views

    He is the Good Shepherd who seeks out the lost sheep, and dies for His flock.

    THE SELF- SACRIFICE OF THE SHEPHERD. John 10:11-18. In the fourth “I am” saying of John’s Gospel, Jesus appears as the Good Shepherd who gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11). Thus He is made known to His sheep (John 10:14). In John 10 Jesus effectively castigated the Pharisees for their ...read more

    Feeding Five Thousand And Walking On Water

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 22, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,165 views

    Hunger in the wilderness and wind at sea BOTH can kill: but the Rescuer comes.

    A. THE FEEDING OF THE 5,000. John 6:1-15. It was now nearly a year since Jesus had cleansed the Temple in Jerusalem, and Passover was fast approaching (John 6:4). Jesus and His disciples had tried to withdraw from the throng in Galilee, and sought some rest and relaxation in the Golan Heights: ...read more

    Sharp Words Spoken By Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,853 views

    All things are possible with God, but those who set their hearts on riches will be sadly disappointed.

    SHARP WORDS SPOKEN BY LOVE. Mark 10:17-31. The first three Gospels all report Jesus’ encounter with the character who has become known by the composite name of ‘the rich young ruler’. They all mention that he was ‘rich’ (as in Mark 10:22), but only Matthew mentions that he was ‘young’ ...read more

    The Destiny Of Believers.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,431 views

    The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

    THE DESTINY OF BELIEVERS. John 6:41-51. Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst... For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me” (John 6:35-38). The reaction to this ...read more

    The Identity Of Believers.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,817 views

    How can this man give us His flesh to eat?

    THE IDENTITY OF BELIEVERS. John 6:51-59. JOHN 6:51. “I am the living bread, which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Jesus is the living bread which when a man ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,326 views

    It is perfectly clear that Jesus lay down His life voluntarily.

    I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. John 10:11-21. In John 10 Jesus effectively castigated the Pharisees for their failures as the spiritual shepherds of Israel. The image was familiar in a pastoral society, and echoed the Old Testament (e.g. Jeremiah 23:1-4). JOHN 10:11. In the fourth “I am” saying of ...read more

    The Denial By Peter.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,260 views

    Watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation. Mark 14 verse 38.

    THE DENIAL BY PETER. Mark 14:27-72. In the Bible, the weakness of God’s servants is held aloft as an example for all to see. The account of Peter’s denial of Jesus is a humbling reminder that even the best of men is vulnerable to the wiles of the devil, if he allows himself to be caught off ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 840 views

    Jesus was surely dead, and certified so by the authorities.

    THE WITNESSES TO THE DEATH OF JESUS. Mark 15:39-47. After Jesus ‘cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost’ and ‘the veil in the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom’ (cf. Mark 15:37-38), the first person to realise the full meaning of what has just happened was not one ...read more

    Anxiety.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,707 views

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

    ANXIETY. Matthew 6:25-34. MATTHEW 6:25. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate translation. When Jesus says (literally) “be not careful,” He obviously is not sanctioning thoughtlessness, nor even carelessness. He rather means, “Do not be anxious.” Jesus introduces a trinity of cares: what ...read more

    He Is Calling You By Name

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,220 views

    The call of God is what makes all the difference in our lives. We do not have to be on our death bed - or dying on a cross next to the Cross of Jesus - in order to hear His word of mercy.

    HE IS CALLING YOU BY NAME. 1 Samuel 3:1-10. The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1). There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of God ...read more

    3 Things God Has Done For Us

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Apr 30, 2002
    based on 64 ratings
     | 12,294 views

    This sermon describes some of the advantages we receive because of Jesus’ work on the cross.

    INTRODUCTION A. Many Christians live in ignorance of what God has done for us. B. Many are not interested in doctrinal matters but in only what they get out of a church. C. I appeal again to George Barna’s research of 1996 and 1997. 1. Many professing Christians believe that people are inherently ...read more
