  • Our Banner Against Fear

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 4, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,532 views

    The LORD is My light, My salvation, and the strength of My life. My strength is in Him!

    OUR BANNER AGAINST FEAR. Psalm 27:1-14. It is a wonderful and profound statement: “The LORD is my light and my salvation.” It is a challenging and liberating truth: “Of whom then shall I be afraid?” Yet we must be careful not to gloss over this personal message, nor to imagine that it is only ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,565 views

    If we are going to emulate anybody, we must emulate Jesus.

    FOLLOWERS ON THE JOURNEY HOME. Philippians 3:17-4:1. The Apostle Paul had been telling of the forward motion in his own Christian life (Philippians 3:13-14), and encouraged his readers to be like-minded with him (Philippians 3:15-16). The writer even went so far as to set himself up as an ...read more

  • An Ominous Note

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,579 views

    "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish!" Without the mercy and help of God, the cry goes forth a second time: "Cut it down!"

    AN OMINOUS NOTE. Luke 13:1-9. There has been an ominous note ringing in the Gospel of Luke ever since Jesus set His face like a flint, determined to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). This was the turning point of Luke’s Gospel, and has implications both for Jesus Himself (Luke 13:33), and for those ...read more

  • The Inclusive Nature Of The Mission Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,122 views

    The inaugural sermon of Jesus, and the refusal of His own people to hear Him.

    THE INCLUSIVE NATURE OF GOD’S MISSION. Luke 4:21-30. In a synagogue in Nazareth, a young man is reading aloud from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He stops mid-sentence at “the acceptable year of the LORD” without mentioning “the day of vengeance of our God” (Isaiah 61:2). As He sits down to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,235 views

    No longer a slave.

    AN OPEN LETTER. PHILEMON 1:1-21. Onesimus was a slave who had escaped from his Christian master, Philemon. Yet in a beautiful irony, having not ‘made it’ alone in the big city, he found himself at last brought under the direct personal influence of “Paul the prisoner” (Philemon 1:1). Many a ...read more

  • The Word Goes Forth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,245 views

    A metaphor from God's dealings in Creation to describe God's dealings with His Word.

    THE WORD GOES FORTH. Isaiah 55:10-13. I was in India, alone in my room, with the door shut. I read Isaiah 55:10-11. There God was saying, “My Word shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” What an encouragement, I ...read more

  • A Living Faith At Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,376 views

    Having the audacity to implore God in the imperative.

    A LIVING FAITH AT PRAYER. Psalm 4. It is because we have had experience of answered prayer in the past that we can expect answered prayer for the future. It is because we are ‘the righteousness of God’ in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21) that we can ‘boldly approach the throne of grace’ ...read more

  • A Prayerful Advocate For Those Who Groan

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 9, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,700 views

    The Holy Spirit as first-fruits, and efficacious intercessor.

    A PRAYERFUL ADVOCATE FOR THOSE WHO GROAN. Romans 8:22-27. There are several references to the Holy Spirit in Romans 8. He is named at least nineteen times in the first twenty-seven verses. This serves to contrast the weakness of ‘the law of sin and death’ (discussed at length in Romans 7), with ...read more

  • A Storm At Sea, And A Question Of Jesus' Identity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 25, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,862 views

    How can Jesus sleep on in calm and peaceful repose when chaos, fear, disorder, panic and confusion are all around? Does He not care?

    “WHO IS THIS?” Mark 4:35-41. There is an old joke that asks why the chicken crossed the road? The answer is obvious: to get to the other side. I suppose the same could be said of crossing the sea, crossing to the other side of the world, or crossing to a region such as the territory of the ...read more

  • Twelve Years Of Suffering, And Twelve Years Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 2, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,411 views

    A woman healed, a child raised from the dead. Application.

    TWELVE YEARS OF SUFFERING, AND TWELVE YEARS OF LIFE. Mark 5:21-43. In this particular section Mark presents us with a ‘story within a story’ – and, as you might expect with such a literary device, there are both similarities and dissimilarities. First of all, we have the not unusual picture of ...read more

  • Teaching Through Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 22, 2015
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,677 views

    To be amazed is not the same as being converted.

    TEACHING THROUGH HEALING. Mark 1:21-28. As we re-read Mark’s Gospel - as we must, from time to time - we find it to be a Gospel of two halves. The first half tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher (Mark 1:21-22), who also happened to use healing (or more ...read more

  • The Healing Of A Paralysed Man

    Bringing others to Christ; forgiveness; healing the whole person.

    THE HEALING OF A PARALYSED MAN. Mark 2:1-12. 1. A SHARED FAITH. We have before us a remarkable account of faith, forgiveness, and healing. Hearing of Jesus, a paralysed man desired to see Him, with a view to seeking His healing touch. Four caring, believing friends bore the paralysed man to ...read more

  • O Magnify The Lord With Me

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 18,746 views

    We taste and see the goodness of the LORD when the words of the LORD have their rightful place in our lives.

    O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. Psalm 34:1-8. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, his ...read more

  • Letters Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 27, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,908 views

    Ministers are just postmen, delivering a message of instruction from God... What kind of letters of Christ are we?

    LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION. 2 Corinthians 3:1-6. Amongst the many difficulties which the Apostle Paul faced in relation to the church which he had founded in Corinth was the existence of self-styled super-apostles who were nothing but peddlers, “making gain by corrupting the word of God” (2 ...read more

  • A Hymn To Our High Priest

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,532 views

    He is our eternal Advocate, always available, always approachable.

    A HYMN TO OUR HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 7:23-28. Jesus’ priesthood is proclaimed to be of a better order than that of Aaron (Hebrews 7:11) because of His similitude to Melchisedec (Hebrews 7:14-15). It is not genealogy which qualifies our great High Priest, but the power of an indissoluble life ...read more
