    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,582 views

    From our many backslidings, to "you shall know the LORD."

    THE VALLEY OF TROUBLE AS THE DOOR OF HOPE. Hosea 2:14-20. Hosea’s own rocky marriage stands as a metaphor for the troubled relationship between the LORD and Israel. Just as Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea, so Israel broke covenant with the LORD (Hosea 1:2). One harbinger of hope is discovered - ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,954 views

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112. Like its immediate predecessor, Psalm 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line. This can best be represented in English by: “Alleluia. “Blessed is the man…” (Psalm 112:1). The ...read more

    Passing on the mantle: issues of succession in the church.

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1. Elijah’s ascension was attended by horses and chariots. As Elisha and the sons of the prophets ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,987 views

    A summons to resounding praise.

    A SOLEMN FEAST DAY. Psalm 81:1-7. This Psalm opens with a summons to resounding praise (Psalm 81:1-3), with reasons to do so attached (Psalm 81:4-7). It continues with an address by God, beginning with a commandment, with a promise attached (Psalm 81:8-10); and going on to upbraid the people ...read more

  • Honey Out Of The Rock

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,857 views

    Even now, God is waiting to forgive.

    HONEY OUT OF THE ROCK. Psalm 81:8-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:8. “Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, ...read more

  • A Tree Planted By The Waters

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 5, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,650 views

    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

  • A Sinner Saved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,291 views

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

  • A Joyous Prospect

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,871 views

    This is not just about a City, but about the whole People of God.

    A JOYOUS PROSPECT. Isaiah 62:1-5. Isaiah’s so-called ‘Song of the Vineyard’ (Isaiah 5:1-7), spoke of a time when judgment and desolation loomed large upon the horizon of his contemporaries. There the husbandman (cf. John 15:1) looked for a fruitful harvest, but the vineyard yielded only bad ...read more

  • Look Up And Praise The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2017

     | 6,860 views

    A summons to praise our God, with reasons attached.

    LOOK UP AND PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 147:1-11, Psalm 147:20c. Why “Praise the LORD” (Psalm 147:1)? There are two possible readings of the answer: “For it is good/ pleasant/ delightful to sing praises to our God” (cf. Psalm 92:1); or “For He is good/ gracious/ beautiful” (cf. Psalm 27:4). It could ...read more

  • A Prophet Like Moses

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,637 views

    Jesus is the Prophet like unto Moses, and all His words are truth.

    JESUS: A PROPHET LIKE MOSES. Deuteronomy 18:15-20. 1. A Prophet raised up by God (Deuteronomy 18:15). John the Baptist was asked, ‘Are you that Prophet?’ (John 1:21). His answer was an emphatic, ‘No!’ So people began to wonder if it was Jesus (John 6:14). 2. From your own people (Deuteronomy ...read more

  • Yea And Amen In Christ Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,028 views

    The integrity of God. The integrity of the preached message. The commonality of Christian community.

    YEA AND AMEN IN CHRIST JESUS. 2 Corinthians 1:18-22. On account of his decision to postpone his planned second visit to Corinth, the Apostle Paul was facing the accusation of vacillating. Is it ‘yes, he’s coming’ or ‘no, he’s not coming’? wondered his opponents. Paul is quite clear: ‘I was ...read more

    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).

     | 1,217 views

    Scriptural testimony of the resurrection of Jesus.

    A PROCLAMATION TO BE BELIEVED. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about. Here in 1 Corinthians, Paul is not teaching his readers something new, but reviewing that which he taught ...read more

    God spoke and it was done.

    THE FIRST DAY. Genesis 1:1-5. GENESIS 1:1. “In the beginning” is a temporal expression; it pertains to time. In fact, here it refers to the beginning of time itself; but also to the beginning of Creation. This is the beginning of everything. “In the beginning God.” Before time was, before ...read more
