    A Glorious Future.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 13, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 179 views

    It is remarkable that the LORD Himself should commit Himself to wash away our sins.

    A GLORIOUS FUTURE. Isaiah 4:2-6. ISAIAH 4:2. “In that day” is the same expression as is used in the preceding chapters (cf. Isaiah 2:11-12; Isaiah 2:17; Isaiah 2:20). There it speaks of the desperation of both men (cf. Isaiah 3:6-7), and women (cf. Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 4:1) under the judgment of ...read more

    The Glories Of The Messiah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 13, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 402 views

    This is a song about love: but principally about the love of Christ and the Church (cf. Ephesians 5:32).

    THE GLORIES OF THE MESSIAH. Psalm 45:1-7. The Psalmist wrote of things beyond his natural knowledge. As a prophet, he sought diligently and inquired after the grace that was to come (1 Peter 1:10). Then he spoke and wrote as the Spirit of God led him (2 Peter 1:21). I). Psalm 45:1-2. ...read more

     | 287 views

    Manifesting Christian ethics in our daily walk.

    VARIOUS EXHORTATIONS. Hebrews 13:1-6. I. PRACTICAL LOVE (Hebrews 13:1-3). 1. “Brotherly love” (Hebrews 13:1). Jesus is ‘not ashamed’ to call us brethren (cf. Hebrews 2:11-12). The readers of Hebrews are viewed as ‘holy brethren’ (cf. Hebrews 3:1). This section begins abruptly: literally, “The ...read more

    The Certainty Of God's Witness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 20, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 306 views

    A faith that overcomes.

    THE CERTAINTY OF GOD’S WITNESS. 1 John 5:4-12. It is interesting to note that 1 JOHN 5:4 begins “all that is born of God” overcomes the world. On just this one occasion, this is written in the neuter. The deeds of faith performed by born-again people are just as much begotten of God as the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,101 views

    Jesus was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

    ASCENSION DAY. Mark 16:14-20. Jesus appeared to the eleven, and “upbraided them with their UNBELIEF” because they “BELIEVED NOT” them which had seen Him after He was risen (Mark 16:14; cf. Luke 24:36-43). The passage fast-forwards to the Great Commission (Mark 16:15; cf. Matthew 28:19; ...read more

    A Prayer For Mercy.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 400 views

    “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” (PSALM 85:6).

    A PRAYER FOR MERCY. Psalm 85:1-7. The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, but by recalling to mind God’s past favours (PSALM 85:1-3). We must learn to “count our blessings, name them one by one,” as the hymn writer exhorts us, to raise up our ‘Ebenezers,’ our “stones of help” as the word ...read more

    A Prayer For Protection.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 130 views

    "Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man" (Psalm 140:1a).

    A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION. Psalm 140:1-9. This is a Psalm of David, no doubt from the time when he was pursued by his enemies in the wilderness. The Psalm switches between singular foes: pointing perhaps particularly to king Saul and his three thousand men at arms; and Doeg and the Ziphites, who ...read more

    Scripture fulfilled.

    JESUS CRUCIFIED. John 19:1-37. 1). BEHOLD YOUR KING. John 19:1-16. JOHN 19:1. The nineteenth chapter of John’s Gospel opens in the midst of the ridiculous drama of Pilate’s darting back and forth between the hypocritical Jewish leadership on the doorstep, who refused to come into the judgment ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,147 views

    “Put off the old man” (EPHESIANS 4:22), and “put on the new man” (EPHESIANS 4:24).

    THE OLD LIFE AND THE NEW. Ephesians 4:17-32. Having argued the case for keeping the unity of the body of Christ (cf. Ephesians 4:1-16), Paul now moves on to insist upon the maintenance of true holiness. EPHESIANS 4:17. The “therefore” connects with the ‘therefore’ in Ephesians 4:1. Paul is ...read more

    Comfort in the certainty of God's Word.

    COMFORT YE. Isaiah 40:1-9. We have before us a passage which may well be remarkably familiar to us: yet please do not allow its very familiarity to breed contempt. This is a little Gospel, a sort of proto-Gospel written by the prophet many years before the event. Our task is to ask Isaiah ...read more

     | 437 views

    "It pleased the Father that in Him should all the fulness dwell" (COLOSSIANS 1:19).

    THE PRE-EMINENCE OF CHRIST. Colossians 1:13-20. Paul celebrates the fact that the Father has already qualified us to receive the inheritance which awaits His saints. We are delivered from the power of darkness and have been translated into the kingdom of His dear Son (COLOSSIANS 1:13). This is ...read more

    Oracles Of Restoration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 9, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 320 views

    The LORD is offering comfort into the desolation of the previous chapter.

    ORACLES OF RESTORATION. Zechariah 8:1-8. The Apostle Paul tells us that ‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God’ (cf. 2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Apostle Peter tells us that ‘the word of the LORD endures forever’ (cf. 1 Peter 1:25). So when we find the expression “Thus saith the LORD” ...read more

    Glory Only In The Cross.

     | 643 views

    “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatians 6:14).

    GLORY ONLY IN THE CROSS. Galatians 6:11-18. As Paul draws towards the conclusion of his letter to the Galatians, he takes the pen into his own hand (GALATIANS 6:11) and emphasizes once more the issue between the Judaisers and himself. The motives of his opponents are suspect: to make a good ...read more

    The Branch Of Righteousness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 475 views

    The one who brings salvation, and a safe dwelling place for His people, is ‘the LORD our righteousness’ (JEREMIAH 23:6).

    THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-8. “Behold… the word of the LORD,” (JEREMIAH 23:5). The prophet uses the image of a righteous Branch growing out of a felled tree – which so wonderfully typifies God’s dealings with His people. Just when the tree of David seems to be left without hope, ...read more

     | 450 views

    The unfaithfulness of God's people.

    A MATTER OF PRIORITIES. Hosea 6:4-6. HOSEA 6:4. The two halves of this verse are two examples of parallelism. First, the LORD laments over the two kingdoms of Israel: “Ephraim” in the north, and “Judah” in the south. The loving Father asks each in turn, “What shall I do unto you?” And we can ...read more
