  • Spirituality, Diversity, And Gifts.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 18, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,648 views

    No-one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

    SPIRITUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 1. Concerning spirituals (1 Corinthians 12:1-3). “Now concerning spirituals,” begins this passage (1 Corinthians 12:1). This may be masculine, ‘spiritual people’. However, given the emphasis away from individualism to “Jesus is ...read more

  • A Lost Sheep And A Lost Coin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,510 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

  • The Little Cantata

    Victory in Jesus!

    THE LITTLE CANTATA. Psalm 98:1-9. The Psalmist is calling us to sing of the mighty acts of the LORD whereby He has gotten Himself the victory (Psalm 98:1), secured our salvation, and demonstrated His righteousness (Psalm 98:2). This reaches back to the Exodus, when Moses and Miriam celebrated ...read more

  • The Unfinished Benediction

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 1, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,435 views

    From Easter to the ends of the earth, via the Ascension of Jesus.

    THE UNFINISHED BENEDICTION. Luke 24:44-53. Easter had been a hectic, confusing day: but, in our text, Jesus pointed the disciples first to His own words, and then to the Old Testament Scriptures in order that they might put some meaning on all that had happened (Luke 24:44-45). This is where we ...read more

  • The Dew Of Hermon

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,086 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 Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 23, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,129 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

  • The Voice In The Wilderness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,242 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

  • Turn Us, Shine Forth, Save Us.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 23, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,251 views

    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

  • A Prayer Of Praise.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 13, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,884 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 Incarnation Of The Word.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,617 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

  • The Burial Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 23, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,733 views

    Two hitherto hidden disciples step boldly forth.

    THE BURIAL OF JESUS. John 19:38-42. JOHN 19:38. After the flow of blood and water, a hitherto “secret” (literally, ‘concealed’) disciple stepped forward: Joseph of Arimathea. The “fear of the Jews” (the Jewish leadership, of which he was a part) had prevented Joseph from admitting his ...read more

  • The Comforter, And Persecution.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 695 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 Grace Of Service.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,023 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

  • Breathe On Me Breath Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 28, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,988 views

    The remission or retaining of sins is declarative, and belongs to the task of preaching the gospel.

    BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD. John 20:19-23. It was the evening of the first day of the week: the day of the resurrection; the first day of the new creation. The disciples met together behind closed doors “for fear” (John 20:19). Fear stifles faith: this is why the Lord and His messengers so ...read more

  • O Ye His Saints.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 916 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
