    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,277 views

    When faith fails, then flesh takes over.

    ISAAC AND ISHMAEL. Galatians 4:21-31. 1. The History. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD ...read more

  • Knowing The Unknowable.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,774 views

    The Cross-shaped love of Christ.

    KNOWING THE UNKNOWABLE. Ephesians 3:14-21. The “For this reason” of Ephesians 3:14 echoes Ephesians 3:1, and picks up the thread of thought that was left there. This follows Paul’s contemplation of the reconciliation accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22). Jesus, by His own ...read more

  • Faith And Works

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,508 views

    The practical faith of Rahab stands in contrast to the platitudes of the person who sent the hungry empty away, and failed to clothe the naked.

    FAITH AND WORKS. James 2:14-26. A person is making what seems to be a credible claim to “faith” - but (as yet) there is no evidence in their lives of their allegiance to Jesus Christ. They seem to have all the right words, but (so far) “works” are lacking. James 2:14. What is the profit in the ...read more

  • Universal Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,901 views

    We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

    UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

  • The Importance Of Giving Thanks

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Oct 4, 2019
     | 6,248 views

    What does it mean when only one in ten returns to give thanks?

    The Importance of Giving Thanks Luke 17:11-19 Leprosy was the worst form of excommunication. Many have criticized the use of excommunication as a means of discipline in the church to cast out members for some heresy or misconduct. But to be excommunicated simply because they caught a disease ...read more

  • Taste And See That The Lord Is Good (Complete)

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 11, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,291 views

    A call to worship; living the life; deliverance.

    1. O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. Psalm 34:1-8. 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 (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, his ...read more

  • The Plumb-Line Test.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,429 views

    Aligning ourselves with God, as opposed to going against His Word.

    THE PLUMB-LINE TEST. Amos 7:7-17. When I was at High School, we were building a garage. We were taught how to mix mortar, lay bricks, and to check everything was lined up straight with a plumb-line. The work had been begun by those of the Year above mine: but in mid-January 1968 ‘Hurricane ...read more

  • Jesus Calms The Storm

    Contributed by Russell Pettus on Jun 26, 2018
     | 30,764 views

    Jesus calming the storm is moving the disciples to a decision of who they think Jesus is. They know him as a rabbi and the Messiah but the only one who can calm the sea is God.

    Jesus Calms the Storm Mark 4:35-41 Lectionary B Proper 7. Introduction One of my favorite commercials of late has been the “Mayhem” commercials by Allstate. Mayhem is everywhere. It is the teenager texting, the storm blowing a tree on your house, the person in a hurry that doesn’t put out a grill ...read more

  • Healing, Resurrection, And Salvation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 25, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,903 views

    The healing of a man lame from birth, the preaching of Jesus' resurrection, and the call to salvation.

    HEALING, RESURRECTION, AND SALVATION. Acts 4:5-12. There is a parallel between the persecution of Jesus upon the healing of a man ‘blind from birth’ (John 9:1), and the persecution of Peter and John upon the healing of a man ‘lame from his mother's womb’ (Acts 3:2). Suffice it to say that ...read more

  • The Giddy Heights Of Agape Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 8, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,781 views

    Some thoughts on 1 Corinthians 13.

    THE GIDDY HEIGHTS OF AGAPE LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. At the end of the previous chapter Paul encouraged the Corinthians (church) to be, literally, ‘zealous’ for the best gifts (‘charismata’). ‘And yet,’ he said, ‘I show unto you a more excellent way’ (1 Corinthians 12:31). What is that ...read more

  • Great High Priest

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,938 views

    The superiority of Jesus' priesthood gives us boldness to approach the throne of grace.

    GREAT HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 4:14-16. The priesthood of Jesus is superior to that of Aaron. As a man like ourselves, Jesus is a merciful and faithful high priest: yet, unlike Aaron, He is capable of facing and overcoming temptation on our behalf (Hebrews 2:17-18; Hebrews 4:15). For though He is a ...read more

  • A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,457 views

    The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

    A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service. Perhaps Isaiah 61:1-2 was the reading of the day, but Jesus deliberately chose where to end the reading. Luke 4:18-19 stops short of ‘the ...read more

  • Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021
     | 2,672 views

    The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

    A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more

  • Plans Of Man And Purposes Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,501 views

    A man’s plans may be one thing (Proverbs 16:9), but it is God’s purposes that prevail (Proverbs 19:21).

    MAN’S PLANS AND GOD’S PURPOSES. Ruth 3:1-5; Ruth 4:13-17. The days of the judges (Ruth 1:1) were turbulent times. ‘There was no king in the land, and everybody did what was right in his own sight’ (Judges 21:25). Anarchy ruled, and God disciplined His people through cycles of invasion, ...read more
