    May 18th, 2025.

    Acts 11:1-18, Psalm 148, Revelation 21:1-6, John 13:31-35. A). PETER’S EXPLANATION. Acts 11:1-18. The turning point in Luke’s Gospel was when Jesus ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). The turning point of Luke’s second volume, the Book of Acts, is found in the ...read more

  • The Call Of Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 23, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,185 views

    Make me an offer I can't refuse!

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1). The hewing out of Lady Wisdom’s “seven pillars” speaks of completeness (unlike the ‘folly’ in Edinburgh which was never completed), spaciousness, and endurance. ‘I go to prepare a ...read more

  • Turn Us, Shine Forth, Save Us.

    God is unchangeable, but our experience of His Providence may vary from time to time.

    TURN US, SHINE FORTH, SAVE US. Psalm 80:1-7. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control of all things is to make our complaints known to Him. In Psalm 80 the writer bemoans the plight of the divided tribes ...read more

  • Known By God.

     | 2,897 views

    I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

    KNOWN BY GOD. Psalm 139:1-6, Psalm 139:13-18. What convinced me of the reality of the God of the Bible - 'the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (Ephesians 1:3) - was not intellectual argument, but personal encounter. This occurred in two phases: first in a sense of guilt ...read more

  • The Incarnation Of The Word.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,699 views

    When we recognise Jesus for who He is, we also see something of the glory of God.

    THE INCARNATION OF THE WORD. John 1:14-18. 1. THE WORD BECAME FLESH. Having established the connection between faith and being “born again” (John 1:12-13), the Apostle John now explains how that has been made possible. It took nothing less than the incarnation of God Himself (John 1:1). We can ...read more

  • O Ye His Saints.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 987 views

    Saints are humble folks who revere the Lord.

    O YE HIS SAINTS. Psalm 34:1-10, Psalm 34:22. 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 (cf. 1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, ...read more

  • The Grace Of Service.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,118 views

    A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

    THE GRACE OF SERVICE. 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter has already told us the ‘last days’ began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:16-18). Now he tells us that “the end of all things is at hand” (1 PETER 4:7a). Although he wrote those words nearly two millennia ago, that sense of imminence remains. The question is: ...read more

  • Praise To God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 270 views

    A call to worship the LORD.

    PRAISE TO GOD. Psalm 96:1-9. 1. Creation. The Psalmist exhorts the earth to sing a new song to the LORD (PSALM 96:1). What is that new song? It is an acknowledgement that ‘the LORD reigns’ (cf. Psalm 96:10). That acknowledgement is based retrospectively in the realities of the creation ...read more

  • Transfiguration.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,108 views

    The power of the glory to come.

    TRANSFIGURATION. Mark 9:2-9. “After six days” Peter, James, and John were drawn aside “into a high mountain apart” (Mark 9:2). Like Moses, who drew aside to behold the bush that burned but which was not consumed (cf. Exodus 3:3), we sometimes need to step aside from the busyness of life for ...read more

  • Pictures From The Sermon On The Plain.

     | 256 views

    Building our lives upon Jesus.

    PICTURES FROM THE SERMON ON THE PLAIN. Luke 6:39-49. 1. The Two Blind Men (Luke 6:39-42). “Can the blind lead the blind?” asked Jesus. “Shall they not both fall into the ditch?” (LUKE 6:39). There is a certain arrogance about some would-be teachers of others. They boast that they can see, ...read more

  • A Prayer Of Praise.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,976 views

    O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth.

    A PRAYER OF PRAISE. Psalm 8:1-9. This is the only praise Psalm which is addressed entirely to the LORD. No call to worship like Psalm 95:1, ‘O come let us sing unto the LORD’. No asides to the congregation like Psalm 107:2, ‘Let the redeemed of the LORD say so’. Psalm 8:1. The vocative ...read more

  • The Comforter, And Persecution.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 749 views

    The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus with us, and through us. And to God alone be the glory. Amen.

    THE COMFORTER, AND PERSECUTION. John 15:26-27, John 16:1-4. 1. The Coming of the Comforter. John 15:26-27. As we enter this part of our text, it is well to note, first, the certainty of the event: “When the Comforter IS COME” (John 15:26a). But when did the disciples receive the Holy ...read more

  • The Voice In The Wilderness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,349 views

    Never mind the preacher. Look to the One preached.

    THE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. John 1:19-28. The witness of John is put on record (John 1:19) because the Council in Jerusalem sent a delegation to him, asking who he thought he was, preaching without licence (from them) out there in the wilderness. They surely knew he was a priest’s son, but ...read more

  • Between Grace And Glory

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 14, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,111 views

    The grace that saves us is the grace that teaches us how to renounce the old way of life, and live the new life which is ours in Christ Jesus.

    BETWEEN GRACE AND GLORY. Titus 2:11-14. The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Titus has much to say about how Christian people should live between the two Advents - or “epiphanies” - of our Lord Jesus Christ: and this little section sets a theological basis for our behaviour. The grace of God has ...read more

  • Sorrow Will Turn To Joy.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 21, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 948 views

    "I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice" (John 16:22).

    SORROW WILL TURN TO JOY. John 16:16-22. JOHN 16:16a. The sense of John 16:16 seems to be “A little while and ye do not behold Me…” This refers to the fact that within hours Jesus would be arrested, tried, crucified, and buried. JOHN 16:16b. “again a little while, and ye shall see me” brings us ...read more
