  • Spiritual Blindness And True Blessedness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 708 views

    A house divided against itself, a strong man overcome; and the nature of true blessedness.

    SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS AND TRUE BLESSEDNESS. Luke 11:14-28. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works. Their refusal to hear His message is echoed in their speaking out against Him. LUKE 11:14. A demon-possessed man, who was ...read more

  • Love The Lord Thy God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 823 views

    The LORD is God alone, and will tolerate no rivals.

    LOVE THE LORD THY GOD. Deuteronomy 6:4-9. One of the core texts in the whole Bible is the Shema (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5). “Hear O Israel…” is something of a refrain in Deuteronomy, much as Jesus would later often say, ‘he who has ears to hear, let him hear.’ Here we are told who the LORD is, and ...read more

  • A Bold Prayer.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 777 views

    Shaping our prayers in accordance with what we know about the character of God.

    A BOLD PRAYER. Genesis 18:23-32. The conversation between the LORD and Abraham suggests a relationship. God shares His Word with His covenant children, and prompts us to respond. If we are made privy to the purposes of the LORD then we may, without presumptuousness, speak our mind about ...read more

  • Born Again By The Word Of Truth.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 914 views

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

  • A Judgment We Can Bear.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 475 views

    The God who comes, and is coming, and shall not keep silence (Psalm 50:3).

    A JUDGMENT WE CAN BEAR. Psalm 50:1-6. This Psalm speaks of the mighty God, the God who speaks, the God of all Creation (Psalm 50:1). The God whose word shines forth from the heavenly Zion, and from the earthly Jerusalem (Psalm 50:2), to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 2:3). The God who comes, and ...read more

  • The Dumb Donkey Spoke.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 436 views

    The King who feared a people who were no threat to him; the blind Seer and dumbfounded Soothsayer who could neither see nor curse; and the dumb donkey who saw and spoke for God.

    THE DUMB DONKEY SPOKE. Numbers 22:21-31. After Israel’s defeat of the Amorites, who had once conquered lands belonging to Moab (cf. Numbers 21:26), the Moabites were terrified at the presence of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 22:2-3). [They need not have been, because the LORD had expressly ...read more

  • The Ascension Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Mark Mitchell on Jan 15, 2023
     | 2,025 views

    In the book of acts we see the expansion of the gospel as the mission of the church. The book of acts is a continuation of what Jesus did and taught.

    I. Witnesses to all of whom Jesus is. (Not just things directly related to salvation) (v.8) A. The same Greek word for witness is the same word used for martyr in other passages of scripture. B. Witness to His death, burial, and resurrection. C. Witness to all that He did to heal the lame ...read more

  • The Grace Of The Lord In The Midst Of Famine.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,026 views

    A miraculous and timely provision.

    THE GRACE OF THE LORD IN THE MIDST OF FAMINE. 1 Kings 17:8-16. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17). This may seem an audacious thing to pray ...read more

  • A Sinner Saved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,775 views

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

  • A Tree Planted By The Waters

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 5, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,146 views

    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

  • The Boy Jesus Comes To His Temple.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 7, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,527 views

    I must be about my Father's business.

    THE BOY JESUS COMES TO HIS TEMPLE. Luke 2:41-52. It was obligatory for men to attend the three main feasts in Jerusalem, but it is evident that Mary and Joseph went up as a couple (Luke 2:41). They also took Jesus with them “according to the custom of the feast” (Luke 2:42). Habits set in youth ...read more

  • A Lost Sheep And A Lost Coin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,712 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

  • The Prodigal Son.

    Coming back to our senses in the far country.

    THE PRODIGAL SON. Luke 15:1-3, Luke 15:11-32. ‘Horror of horrors!’ proclaimed the scribes and Pharisees. The tax-collectors and ‘sinners’ were drawing near to hear the words of Jesus! The three parables which follow in Luke 15 show the calm response of the Master. The parables have a common ...read more

    No-one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

    SPIRITUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 1. Concerning spirituals (1 Corinthians 12:1-3). “Now concerning spirituals,” begins this passage (1 Corinthians 12:1). This may be masculine, ‘spiritual people’. However, given the emphasis away from individualism to “Jesus is ...read more

  • 0600 Ascension Series

    Contributed by Mark Woolsey on Aug 16, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,910 views

    This is in some sense the zenith of His ministry, the high point and culmination of all His work on earth. All that’s recorded in the gospels, His teaching, miracles, suffering, death, and resurrection are simply preparation, a means to an end, that lead
