  • From Prayer To Praise.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 27, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 319 views

    Be merciful. My heart is fixed. Be thou exalted.

    FROM PRAYER TO PRAISE. Psalm 57:1-11. This is a beautifully crafted Psalm which, according to the title, was written by David ‘when he fled from Saul in the cave.’ The Psalm has two sections: first a prayer (PSALM 57:1-6); then second, praise (PSALM 57:7-11). Each section opens with a repeated ...read more

  • Paul Plays The Fool.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 360 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

  • The Adoption Of Mephibosheth.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 247 views

    An illustration of what it means to be adopted into the family of God.

    THE ADOPTION OF MEPHIBOSHETH. 2 Samuel 9:6-13. David the son of Jesse, and Jonathan the son of king Saul, were the best of friends. When they parted ways they entered into a covenant in which David vowed to show kindness to Jonathan’s family “for ever” (cf. 1 Samuel 20:14-16). After David became ...read more

  • The Captivity And Restoration Of Manasseh.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 110 views

    This is an example of the amazing grace of God towards one who was a very ‘chief’ of sinners (cf. 1 Timothy 1:15).

    THE CAPTIVITY AND RESTORATION OF MANASSEH. 2 Chronicles 33:9-13. Bad king Manasseh was a son of good king Hezekiah, but his own style of leadership is here described as “leading Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do evil more than the heathen” (2 CHRONICLES 33:9). ‘Moreover,’ ...read more

  • The Dew Of Hermon

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,081 views

    The knitting together of kindred hearts in covenant love.

    THE DEW OF HERMON. Psalm 133:1-3. I like the Scottish Metrical version of this Psalm: “Behold, how good a thing it is, and how becoming well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell!” A good one to sing, perhaps, as we break bread together. “Behold” calls us to look carefully, ...read more

  • The Call Of Samuel And The Fall Of Eli.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,794 views

    A young boy called into the service of God. An old priestly family rejected.

    THE CALL OF SAMUEL AND THE FALL OF ELI. 1 Samuel 3:1-20. I). HE IS CALLING YOU BY NAME. 1 Samuel 3:1-10. The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1). There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, ...read more

  • Unwrapping Gems In Malachi

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,115 views

    The love of God is set to avert the curse.

    UNWRAPPING GEMS IN MALACHI The “burden” of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi is “I have loved you” (MALACHI 1:1-2). Why has the LORD set His love on His people? Well, according to Moses, He loves us because He loves us (Deuteronomy 7:7-8)! It is not our love to God that saves us, but ...read more

  • Mission To Galilee.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,752 views

    Jesus goes walkabout into Galilee, seeking and saving that which was lost.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new disciples ...read more

    Jesus goes on a purposeful walkabout in Galilee.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP. The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new ...read more

  • Bearing Up

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,953 views

    The sufferings of Jesus were unique in that He suffered once for all, the just for the unjust. But we are still sometimes called to bear up and endure grief, suffering unjustly. Our model was laid down in the patient pattern of His sufferings.

    BEARING UP. 1 Peter 2:19-25. The Apostle Peter uses his address to domestic servants (1 Peter 2:18) to illustrate the calling of all Christians to share in the sufferings of Christ. “For this is grace,” he quite literally says (1 Peter 2:19): this is acceptable; this is thankworthy - if out of ...read more

  • A Commitment To Praise The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 23, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,645 views

    Understanding the Person of God through His works of Creation, Providence, and Redemption.

    A COMMITMENT TO PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 111:1-10. After the initial exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 111:1), this song forms an acrostic, using all twenty-two Hebrew letters in alphabetical order. As for the Psalmist, he has determined: “I will praise the LORD with my whole heart” ...read more

  • Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 324 views

    Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

    PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

  • Imprecations In Context.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 263 views

    To attack God's people is to attack the LORD Himself!

    IMPRECATIONS IN CONTEXT. Psalm 83:1-2, Psalm 83:13-18. Today’s Psalm begins, “Keep not silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still O God” (PSALM 83:1). As if He ever would, when to attack God’s people is to attack the LORD Himself! ‘Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence,’ ...read more

  • The Vain Confidence Of The Disobedient.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 113 views

    We might hide our sins from men, but God knows our hearts.

    THE VAIN CONFIDENCE OF THE DISOBEDIENT. Jeremiah 7:9-15. As Paul unfolded his doctrine of justification by grace through faith in his Epistle to the Romans, he uttered the phrase ‘But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound’ (cf. Romans 5:20), and he realised that he had to square up to ...read more

  • Jesus The Exegesis Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 30, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,836 views

    God's power at work in Creation; the Light of the World: the world rejects, believers accept God's Word. The mystery of the incarnation: Jesus is the exegesis of God!

    JESUS THE EXEGESIS OF GOD. John 1:1-18. One of the names of the Lord Jesus Christ is "The Word." 1. THE WORD WAS GOD’S POWER AT WORK IN CREATION (John 1:1-3). (i) In the beginning was the Word. This compares with the Creation account (Genesis 1:1-3). When God spoke the Word, all ...read more
