  • The Apostolic Foundation Of The Church

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,258 views

    We may not all be Apostles, but we all have a role to play.

    THE APOSTOLIC FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH. Acts 1:15-26. When Jesus appeared to “the eleven” and the rest of the Upper Room assembly after His resurrection, He demonstrated the need for His death and resurrection from the Scriptures of the Old Testament, viz. “the Law of Moses and the Prophets and ...read more

  • The Christian And Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,130 views

    So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. 1 John 3:1-10. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it was ‘while ...read more

  • Ruth And The Restorer Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,396 views

    Boaz is the restorer of life, granting Naomi restoration and fullness. Thus does Jesus give life and hope to His own.

    RUTH AND THE RESTORER OF LIFE. Ruth 4. It is beautiful to see the way that the LORD restored the broken line of the clan of Ephrathah. Naomi, whose name means Lovely, renames herself Mara, Bitterness. However, her new name never caught on: she is always called Naomi, and in the end must lift ...read more

  • The Gift Of The Love Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,093 views

    Jesus was lifted up in the crucifixion so that everyone who trusts in Him would have eternal life. This was, and is, the supreme act of God’s love.

    THE GIFT OF GOD’S LOVE. John 3:14-21. The LORD God made heaven and earth, and all that is in them. He gives morning and evening, seedtime and harvest. In Him we live, and move, and have our being. The LORD God says of Himself: ‘I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me’ ...read more

  • Hope In The Midst Of Trials

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 21, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,428 views

    Facing up to the LORD from within an experience of darkness.

    HOPE IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS. Job 23:1-9; Job 23:16-17. “When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). An active faith may question suffering - but it will not abandon God. In fact, the example of Job demonstrates that the closer we are to God, the more audacious our ...read more

  • A Garden Of Joy.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 14,207 views

    It is the acceptable year of the LORD. A young man in Nazareth preaches the good news.

    A GARDEN OF JOY. Isaiah 61:1-4, Isaiah 61:8-11. Imagine yourself in ancient Israel celebrating that most solemn of feasts, the day of Atonement. This, however, is not just any old Yom Kippur: it is the fiftieth year, and on this day a musical instrument formed out of a ram’s horn is sounded in ...read more

  • Appearances Of Christ, In Heaven And Earth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 1, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,075 views

    Jesus appeared in the earth in the incarnation. Jesus "now appears" in heaven on our behalf. He will come again to the earth to gather to Himself those who are eagerly awaiting Him.

    APPEARANCES OF CHRIST, IN HEAVEN AND EARTH. Hebrews 9:24-28. The ‘worldly sanctuary’ (Hebrews 9:1) served for a time, in both tent and Temple, but now the ‘reformation’ has been accomplished (Hebrews 9:10). The endless round of sacrifices would never suffice for the remission of sins (Hebrews ...read more

  • A Child Asked For

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 17, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,767 views

    As his name seems to suggest, Samuel was a child asked for. The destiny of the faithful was wrapped up in the birth of this child.

    A CHILD ASKED FOR. 1 Samuel 1:4-20. It was still the days of the judges, and still everyone did what they thought was right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). Yet the LORD was at work, shaping man’s destiny according to His plan. The ‘man according to His own heart’ (Acts 13:22) had not yet ...read more

  • A Greater Testimony

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,750 views

    Blessed Assurance!

    A GREATER TESTIMONY. 1 John 5:9-13. The claims of 1 John about Jesus Christ are trustworthy, because their source is God. Why are these claims important? They are important because they are the words which lead to everlasting life (John 6:68). A matter may not be established except on the ...read more

  • This Is What I Came To Do

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 25, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,655 views

    The pressure of the crowd must never be allowed to take precedence over a right relationship with God.

    THIS IS WHAT I CAME TO DO. Mark 1:29-39. 1. The first Deacon (Mark 1:29-31). After the synagogue service in Capernaum, Jesus and His four companions went to the home of Simon and Andrew (Mark 1:29). Was this the first after-church fellowship - or perhaps even the formation of the first ...read more

  • Renewing Our Covenant With The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,612 views

    Christians need to be constantly recalled to their first love, and churches to the rudiments (first principles) of the faith of a better generation.

    RENEWING OUR COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Joshua 24:1-3; Joshua 24:14-25. The choice of Shechem as the site for the renewal of the covenant after the conquests under Joshua is significant. This was where the LORD had promised Abram both ‘this land’ and ‘a seed’ to occupy it, and Abram had ‘built ...read more

  • A Right Use Of Freedom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,704 views

    Drawing enduring principles from an ancient debate.

    A RIGHT USE OF FREEDOM. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13. Faced with a difference of opinion concerning food which may (or may not) have been offered to idols, the Apostle Paul appears here to be addressing some of the slogans being used in the theological and ethical debate in Corinth. The first slogan ...read more

  • An Answer To The Accuser

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,338 views

    Pleading the blood of Jesus.

    AN ANSWER TO THE ACCUSER. Psalm 26. One of the names for the devil is, ‘the accuser of the brethren’ (Revelation 12:10). That is his job: ‘your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour’ (1 Peter 5:8). Take the case of Joshua the high priest: ‘standing ...read more

  • Blessing, Lament, And Blessed Assurance

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 26, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,931 views

    The blessing and suffering of God's people.

    BLESSING, LAMENT, AND BLESSED ASSURANCE. Psalm 41. This is a Psalm of David. It is quite possibly about David. It is also about our Lord Jesus (except that Jesus has no personal sin to confess, unlike Psalm 41:4). It is even quoted by Jesus (Psalm 41:9; cf. John 13:18). It is also about His ...read more

  • A Sequence Of Sayings

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,927 views

    A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

    A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more
