    A Glorious Future.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 13, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 299 views

    It is remarkable that the LORD Himself should commit Himself to wash away our sins.

    A GLORIOUS FUTURE. Isaiah 4:2-6. ISAIAH 4:2. “In that day” is the same expression as is used in the preceding chapters (cf. Isaiah 2:11-12; Isaiah 2:17; Isaiah 2:20). There it speaks of the desperation of both men (cf. Isaiah 3:6-7), and women (cf. Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 4:1) under the judgment of ...read more

     | 409 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

    based on 2 ratings
     | 569 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 Key To Christian Living.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 658 views

    We are dead to sin, but alive to God through our Lord Jesus Christ (ROMANS 6:11).

    THE KEY TO CHRISTIAN LIVING. Romans 6:3-11. 1. Our Union with Christ is symbolised in our Baptism. The key to Christian living is found in our union with Christ, both in His death and in His resurrection. This is what is symbolised in baptism (ROMANS 6:3-4). The spiritual reality which ...read more

    The Certainty Of God's Witness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 394 views

    A faith that overcomes.

    THE CERTAINTY OF GOD’S WITNESS. 1 John 5:4-12. It is interesting to note that 1 JOHN 5:4 begins “all that is born of God” overcomes the world. On just this one occasion, this is written in the neuter. The deeds of faith performed by born-again people are just as much begotten of God as the ...read more

    Shadows Of The Approaching Day.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 548 views

    "For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified" (Hebrews 10:14).

    SHADOWS OF THE APPROACHING DAY. Hebrews 10:1-25. The Law is but a “shadow” of “good things to come” (HEBREWS 10:1). As such the Law, though good in itself (cf. Romans 7:12), serves only as a schoolmaster pointing us to Jesus (cf. Galatians 3:24). The round of sacrifices represented here by ...read more

    Oracles Of Restoration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 9, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 400 views

    The LORD is offering comfort into the desolation of the previous chapter.

    ORACLES OF RESTORATION. Zechariah 8:1-8. The Apostle Paul tells us that ‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God’ (cf. 2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Apostle Peter tells us that ‘the word of the LORD endures forever’ (cf. 1 Peter 1:25). So when we find the expression “Thus saith the LORD” ...read more

    A Matter Of Priorities.

     | 518 views

    The unfaithfulness of God's people.

    A MATTER OF PRIORITIES. Hosea 6:4-6. HOSEA 6:4. The two halves of this verse are two examples of parallelism. First, the LORD laments over the two kingdoms of Israel: “Ephraim” in the north, and “Judah” in the south. The loving Father asks each in turn, “What shall I do unto you?” And we can ...read more

    A Prayer For Mercy.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 529 views

    “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” (PSALM 85:6).

    A PRAYER FOR MERCY. Psalm 85:1-7. The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, but by recalling to mind God’s past favours (PSALM 85:1-3). We must learn to “count our blessings, name them one by one,” as the hymn writer exhorts us, to raise up our ‘Ebenezers,’ our “stones of help” as the word ...read more

     | 232 views

    The ratification of the Book of the Covenant: 'not without blood.'

    THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT. Exodus 24:4-8. This short passage informs us of the writing (EXODUS 24:4a) and ratification of the “Book of the Covenant” (EXODUS 24:7a). This book consists of the case laws and moral exhortations of Exodus chapters 21 to 23. Moses appears to have written these down ...read more

    Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,559 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

    A Leper And A Centurion.

     | 1,380 views

    Two examples of faith in Jesus.

    A LEPER AND A CENTURION. Matthew 8:1-13. At the beginning of the Sermon of the Mount Jesus had been ‘set’ and ‘His disciples came unto Him’ (cf. Matthew 5:1). At the end of the Sermon we were told of the other people who had been listening in, how they had been amazed at His teaching: ‘For ...read more

    The Glories Of The Messiah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 13, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 502 views

    This is a song about love: but principally about the love of Christ and the Church (cf. Ephesians 5:32).

    THE GLORIES OF THE MESSIAH. Psalm 45:1-6. The Psalmist wrote of things beyond his natural knowledge. As a prophet, he sought diligently and inquired after the grace that was to come (1 Peter 1:10). Then he spoke and wrote as the Spirit of God led him (2 Peter 1:21). I). Psalm 45:1-2. ...read more

     | 150 views

    Desperation gives way to elation when we trust the LORD.

    PRAYER AND PRAISE. Psalm 28:1-9. There is only one God who hears and answers prayer. His name is YHWH: the One who ‘is, and was, and is to come’ (cf. Revelation 1:8); the maker of the heavens and the earth (cf. Psalm 121:2). He is ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Ephesians ...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
