    Thanks And Praise.

    Celebrating the works of the LORD.

    THANKS AND PRAISE. Psalm 92:1-6. The designation “for the sabbath day” is both unique, and interesting. The sabbath was instituted in the first instance as a commemoration of Creation (cf. Exodus 20:11), but also in celebration of Redemption (cf. Deuteronomy 5:15). “O LORD, how great are thy ...read more

    The Captivity And Restoration Of Manasseh.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 135 views

    This is an example of the amazing grace of God towards one who was a very ‘chief’ of sinners (cf. 1 Timothy 1:15).

    THE CAPTIVITY AND RESTORATION OF MANASSEH. 2 Chronicles 33:9-13. Bad king Manasseh was a son of good king Hezekiah, but his own style of leadership is here described as “leading Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do evil more than the heathen” (2 CHRONICLES 33:9). ‘Moreover,’ ...read more

     | 646 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

    Paul Plays The Fool.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 387 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

    Abiding in the Presence of God.

    OUR REFUGE IS THE LORD. Psalm 91:1-12. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (PSALM 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even those who are deemed ‘the people of ...read more

    Honour and the Fear of God.

    LIVING BEFORE GOD IN THE WORLD. 1 Peter 2:11-17. Peter addresses his readers as “Beloved,” and encourages us “as strangers and pilgrims” to “abstain from fleshly lusts (or desires) which war against the soul” (1 PETER 2:11). The Apostle implores us to keep our conduct “honest” amongst the ...read more

     | 543 views

    The superiority of Jesus.

    A NAME MORE EXCELLENT. Hebrews 1:1-12. The high Christology of Hebrews 1 bears comparison with that of John 1:1-14. We are first reminded of the many and various ways that God spoke through the prophets in times past (Hebrews 1:1). Then we are informed that the final word of God has now come to ...read more

    There was none to help except the Lord.

    SIN AND DELIVERANCE. Psalm 107:13-22. This reading begins and ends with a “crying out” to the LORD, His deliverance, and a call to praise. In the first of the two examples here, the petitioners were portrayed as people who were held fast with iron chains in the darkest deepest dungeon, ‘in the ...read more

    A Proclamation To Be Believed.

     | 1,407 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

    What a Sign! What a Song!

    THE BABE, LYING IN A MANGER. Luke 2:1-14. 1. A ROYAL NATIVITY (Luke 2:1-7). When Jacob blessed his sons, he prophesied that the sceptre would not pass from Judah “UNTIL He comes whose right it is” (Genesis 49:10). Even the hireling prophet Balaam recognised that a king was still to arise ...read more

    Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27.

    THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE RETURN OF JESUS. John 14:15-31. *Notice how closely our love and our obedience are bound together (John 14:15; cf. John 14:21; 1 John 2:3-5). 1. He has given us the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). Jesus said, “I will pray the Father, and He will send another ...read more

     | 467 views

    "And the Gentiles shall come to thy light" (Isaiah 60:3).

    THE DAWN OF ZION’S GLORY. Isaiah 60:1-9. The motif of darkness is at last vanquished by the coming of the light (ISAIAH 60:1). Just as in Creation, God spoke, and there was light (cf. Genesis 1:2-3). The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overwhelm it (cf. John 1:5). Like ...read more

     | 1,693 views

    The Holy Spirit applies the message of the Cross to our lives.

    THE CROSS AND REGENERATION. John 3:1-15. JOHN 3:1. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees. No doubt he sought to keep all the man-made rules of his religion, as well as the law of God which was given to Moses. Nicodemus was a religious man; an upright man; a ...read more

    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

    Our compassionate Lord.

    FOUR THOUSAND FED. Mark 8:1-10a. We have had occasion before to comment on Jesus’ compassion (cf. Mark 6:34). Now we see it in relation to another hungry crowd of worshippers, who had been willingly following Jesus for three days (Mark 8:1-3). How like us the disciples were, who could ...read more
