    Re-establishing the Davidic dynasty through Jesus.

    ISRAEL EXALTED. Ezekiel 17:22-24. The word of the LORD came ‘expressly’ to the priest Ezekiel in ‘the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity’ (cf. Ezekiel 1:2-3). Our present chapter is a ‘riddle,’ or an allegory: ‘a parable unto the house of Israel’ (EZEKIEL 17:2). It speaks of two eagles: ...read more

  • The Ins And Outs Of Religious Purity

     | 4,794 views

    Timeless teaching from Jesus as to the true nature and source of sin.

    THE INS AND OUTS OF ‘RELIGIOUS’ PURITY. Mark 7:1-23. Every branch of society has its own traditions: some good, some bad, and some inconsequential. It doesn’t matter whether it is the pomp and ceremony of monarchy, or the ritual ‘pardon’ of a turkey at Thanksgiving. Some traditions are ...read more

  • The Allure Of Wisdom

     | 5,066 views

    Wisdom's plaintive plea. The danger of refusal. A promise to those who will hear.

    THE ALLURE OF WISDOM. Proverbs 1:20-33. One day I was out shopping on one of the pedestrianised streets of Norwich, England, when a sudden commotion stopped me in my tracks. The City Crier’s vigorous ringing of his hand-bell, and his cry of ‘Oh Yay! Oh Yay!’ seemed to be right in my ear, and ...read more

  • The Ark Brought Up To Jerusalem.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 989 views

    All our actions should be regulated by the word of God.

    THE ARK BROUGHT UP TO JERUSALEM. 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 2 Samuel 6:12-19. No sooner had David been anointed king over all Israel, than the Philistines came up against him. David’s instinct back then was to ‘enquire of the LORD’ as to what he should do (cf. 2 Samuel 5:17-19). And David ‘did as the LORD ...read more

  • Towards A New Creation

    Longing for home.

    TOWARDS A NEW CREATION. 2 Corinthians 5:6-17. Having spoken of the impermanence of the ‘tent’ of this body, and the ‘eternity’ of our dwelling in heaven (2 Corinthians 5:1), the Apostle Paul began to mix his metaphors, yearning to be ‘clothed upon’ with ‘our habitation which is from ...read more

  • This Is The Commandment.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2021

     | 2,538 views

    Hear O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

    THIS IS THE COMMANDMENT. Deuteronomy 6:1-9. “This is the commandment” (Deuteronomy 6:1) is emphatic. The whole law is boiled down to the one commandment to “love the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 6:5). The outworking of this commandment is seen in our ‘loving our neighbours as ourselves’ ...read more

  • When God Is On Our Side.

     | 1,544 views

    'This I know; for God is for me' (cf. Psalm 56:9).

    WHEN GOD IS ON OUR SIDE. 1 Samuel 17:32-49. Things had reached an impasse in the territorial struggles between the invading Philistines and Israel. The valley of Elah (cf. 1 Samuel 17:2) was in the south of Israel, and the two armies were set in battle array facing one another, but neither side ...read more

  • The Law Of Love And The Body Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 984 views

    Christian life and love.

    THE LAW OF LOVE AND THE BODY OF CHRIST. Ephesians 4:25-32, Ephesians 5:1-2. All of our relationships within the body of Christ must be governed by the Christian law of love (cf. Ephesians 4:2). We are to “walk in love” (EPHESIANS 5:2). One of the practical reasons given for “putting away the ...read more

  • The B-I-B-L-E

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 6, 2025
     | 101 views

    On Bible Sunday, we celebrate God’s Word as living, active, and true—a source of comfort, courage, and eternal hope that has withstood every test of time. Discover why the Bible is more than a book—it’s God’s personal letter to us.

    Good MORNING, and Happy Bible Sunday. As I begin, I’ll acknowledge something we all know but rarely say out loud: there is a reason that the Bible has very thin, see through pages, and that’s because it is a really, really big book, and would probably weigh twice as much if it was printed on ...read more

  • Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover - Year B - Proper 18

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Sep 1, 2021
     | 3,528 views

    How do we react to others - are we quick to judge on appearance, and can we learn to be hearers and doers of the word?

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, the congregation had just settled into their service and had begun to sing the first hymn, when their attention was disturbed by a young man who was aimlessly wandering down the aisle. He was unkempt, ...read more

  • The Flourishing Of Righteousness.

     | 1,517 views

    The LORD promises peace, providing we do not return to folly.

    THE FLOURISHING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Psalm 85:8-13. The Psalmist - the believer, standing for the church - stops in his tracks and listens to what God has to say (Psalm 85:8-9). It is as we systematically and habitually study the Bible that we will be in a position to hear the still small voice ...read more

  • What Happens When Faith Comes From Within

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 15, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,196 views

    The obverse side of the previous conversation: what comes out of the mouth when the heart is full of faith.

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAITH COMES FROM WITHIN. Mark 7:24-37. In the earlier part of this chapter Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within (Mark 7:1-23). It is ...read more

  • Rich And Poor In The Church Of Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,657 views

    There are no 'untouchables' with God!

    RICH AND POOR IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. James 2:1-17. James 2:1. The Greek of this section of the letter of James begins somewhat abruptly: “My brethren, not with partialities!” The impact of the whole sentence is: “Do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons.” ...read more

  • The Storm A Calm.

    Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. Psalm 107 verse 28.

    THE STORM A CALM. Psalm 107:1-3. Psalm 107:1. This Psalm, from the outset, is a summons to thanksgiving. The LORD is good, and His mercy everlasting. We are perhaps quick enough to pray, to 'make our requests known unto God' (Philippians 4:6) when we are in trouble: but do we remember ...read more

  • The Broken Bread.

    Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6 verse 53.

    THE BROKEN BREAD. John 6:51-58. Everlasting life is not a thing that is earned: it is a free gift of God. All that is required is that we put our trust wholly and entirely in Jesus (John 6:28-29). Jesus says quite categorically that whoever believes in Him has everlasting life (John 6:47), and ...read more
