  • The Feast Of Weeks.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 267 views

    When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

    THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

     | 160 views

    My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness

    TRUST IN THE MIDST OF TRIAL. Psalm 141:1-8. This is a confident cry for help in the midst of tribulations. It is addressed initially to “YHWH,” our covenant Lord (PSALM 141:1). Then later the Psalmist addresses “YHWH Adonai” - emphasising both our personal relationship with Him, and His ...read more

  • Our Boast In God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 63 views

    These verses form the basis for an appeal to God for deliverance.

    OUR BOAST IN GOD. Psalm 44:1-8. It is well if we base our appeals and cries for help to God not upon ourselves (our own good name, what we imagine we have achieved, and what we have done or not done); but rather upon His good name (PSALM 44:5; PSALM 44:8), what He has done in the past (cf. 1 ...read more

  • The Everlasting Mercy Of The Lord.

     | 174 views

    Reliability of the LORD.

    THE EVERLASTING MERCY OF THE LORD. Psalm 118:1-9. Our Psalm today begins, “O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good” (PSALM 118:1a). Notice that it is not that ‘He has been good to me.’ But rather that He is “good” within Himself. My mentor knew what it was to be persecuted, but faithfully ...read more

  • The Time To Favour Zion.

    Keep on praying.

    THE TIME TO FAVOUR ZION. Psalm 102:12-17. Man in his affliction may feel that his days are racing away from him (cf. Psalm 102:11). Yet, before our legitimate prayer (cf. Psalm 102:1) disintegrates into despair, it is well to remind ourselves that “thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever, and thy ...read more

  • Called To Bless.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 694 views

    "Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing."

    CALLED TO BLESS. 1 Peter 3:8-15a. Peter names five virtues whereby we might be a blessing to one another (1 PETER 3:8). (i). Like-mindedness; i.e. living in harmony with one another. Being willing to submit ourselves to one another in godly love (cf. Ephesians 5:21). (ii). Compassion; i.e. ...read more

  • Four Thousand Fed.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 537 views

    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

  • The Glory Of The Gospel.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 718 views

    "If the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory" (2 CORINTHIANS 3:9).

    THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL. 2 Corinthians 3:4-9. Paul is confident that the Corinthians ARE his letters of recommendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:2). This trust towards God is mediated through Christ Himself (2 CORINTHIANS 3:4). There is a denial of self-sufficiency, and an acknowledgement of the ...read more

    The deaf hear, and the dumb speak. Mark 7:37.

    HE HAS DONE ALL THINGS WELL. Mark 7:31-37. Jesus was heading towards the Sea of Galilee (Mark 7:31). The next people He met were the friends of a deaf man who had such an impediment in his speech that it sounded like his tongue was tied up in knots. They brought him to Jesus, begging that ...read more

  • The Promise And The Law.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 21, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 644 views

    The immutability of the Promise, and the purpose of the Law.

    THE PROMISE AND THE LAW. Galatians 3:16-22. 1. The Changeless Promise. Galatians 3:16-18. In GALATIANS 3:16, the Apostle Paul demonstrates from Scripture that the promises that the LORD made to Abraham are fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul makes much of the fact that the word “Seed” is ...read more

  • A Question Of Priorities.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 779 views

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

    A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES. Matthew 6:24-34. MATTHEW 6:24. We must choose between “God” and “Mammon.” It is all a question of priorities. If we are a slave to the things of this world, then we cannot be an effective servant of the kingdom of God. MATTHEW 6:25. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate ...read more

    “And they could not answer Him again to these things.” (LUKE 14:6).

    HEALING AND TABLE ETIQUETTE. Luke 14:1-11. 1. A HEALING ON THE SABBATH. Luke 14:1-6. One Sabbath, one of the chief Pharisees gave Jesus the courtesy of a dinner invitation. Jesus courteously accepted. Somewhat discourteously, the Pharisees were keeping their eye on Jesus (LUKE 14:1). It is ...read more

    Thank God for the grace given by Jesus Christ.

    THANKSGIVING FOR THE GRACE OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8. Paul offers thanksgiving to God for the church at Corinth (1 CORINTHIANS 1:4). This is good pastoral care: Paul wants the Corinthians to know that, even if he does have some stern words to speak to them, it is because his heart longs for ...read more

  • Ministers Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 456 views

    Trustworthiness is more important than either success or popularity. Ministers are accountable to God.

    MINISTERS OF CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:1. a). “Let a man so account of us.” Of whom? Of Paul and Apollos (cf. 1 Corinthians 4:6). b). “as ministers (attendants) of Christ.” Not lords over the Church (cf. 1 Peter 5:3), but servants of the Lord of the Church. Servants, ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 562 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
