  • A Feast To Remember: Book Of Esther

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,084 views

    An intended genocide against the people of God is thwarted. Behind all the machinations of human deliverers, we see the quiet unassuming hand of providence. Praise the LORD!

    A FEAST TO REMEMBER. Esther 7:1-6; Esther 7:9-10; Esther 9:20-22. Esther is a book of feasts. First there was the extravagance of a six-month long drinking feast for the army and the princes of the 127 provinces (Esther 1:3-4). This was immediately followed by a seven day drinking feast for the ...read more

  • The Grace Of God - Sermon For Proper 20 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Sep 18, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,031 views

    How does Gods grace affect our lives, and are we willing to accept it, and turn away from what the world regards as important.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. When I was a child I hated P.E. at school, whenever we were going to play a team sport, I always knew that the two captains would be the same two athletic boys, and that I would always be the one who wasn’t picked, but just ended up on the ...read more

  • Unity Of The Church - Sermon For Proper 16 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 19, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,139 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus involved in situations where a number of profound questions are asked. Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more

    The Lord's criteria for service.

    ANOINTING A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. 1 Samuel 15:34-35; 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Israel had demanded a king, just so that they could be like the other nations. Samuel had protested, but the LORD allowed it. After all, they were not rejecting Samuel: they were rejecting the LORD (1 Samuel 8:4-7). ...read more

    A sermon for the 12 Sunday after Pentecost Proper 14 The story of Jesus and Peter walking on water

    Grace and Peace to you from our Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ amen Many of you have heard the phrase, "I am only human" as a person is trying to explain why he/she has made some mistake, or did something wrong. Said in that kind of way, the phrase says something very negative about the ...read more

  • A New Covenant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,305 views

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

  • A Wise Use Of Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,922 views

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,977 views

    Kept by the grace of God in the midst of afflictions.

    GRACE SUFFICIENT. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10. In the process of composing an argument against some proud boasters who measured themselves by nothing more than one another (2 Corinthians 10:12), Paul allowed himself to engage in some rhetorical boasting which confronted his foes on their own ground (2 ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,509 views

    The Fall of man, and the purpose of the Cross.

    THE FALL OF MAN. Genesis 3. It is part of the proof of the common ancestry of man that wherever we go in the world there are stories of a flood from which but a small number of people were saved, and prior to that a struggle between God and man involving a serpent or (in island communities) a ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 8, 2015
    based on 9 ratings
     | 11,868 views

    Reassurances in the valley, celebrations on the plateau, and hope for the future.

    A SHEEP’S RESPONSE TO THE GOOD SHEPHERD. Psalm 23:4-6. ‘All we like sheep have gone astray’ (Isaiah 53:6). Yet when we know Jesus as our Good Shepherd (John 10:14), we have full bragging rights (Psalm 23:1-3). One of the distinguishing marks of the Good Shepherd is His compassion towards an ...read more

     | 6,855 views

    Bringing the hope of salvation into an otherwise dismal prospect.

    THE EASTER APOCALYPSE. Isaiah 25:6-9. This small passage lies at the heart of the so-called ‘Isaiah Apocalypse’ of chapters 24-27 and brings hope into an otherwise dismal prospect. Chapter 25 itself begins with praise for God’s ‘plans formed of old, faithful and sure’ (Isaiah 25:1) - which ...read more

    Proper 6 (b) Christ Himself grows His church by His eternal Word, in and through us, and for and to others.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “How does your garden grow?” Do you garden much? Do you have a garden this year? We had a cold spring, and wet too, so some things are late ...read more

  • Our Inheritance Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 19, 2015
     | 7,805 views

    1) The Ground (Ephesians 1:11–13a), 2) The Guarantee (Ephesians 1:13b–14a), and 3) The Goal of our incomparable inheritance in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:14b).

    History is rife with stories of murder, extortion and robbery by siblings taking family possessions by force. They rationalize that they either deserve it or will eventually inherit it, so why not take it now? They imagine what they can do with the money and possessions to achieve their ...read more

  • Shadows Of The Approaching Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 543 views

    "For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified" (Hebrews 10:14).

    SHADOWS OF THE APPROACHING DAY. Hebrews 10:1-25. The Law is but a “shadow” of “good things to come” (HEBREWS 10:1). As such the Law, though good in itself (cf. Romans 7:12), serves only as a schoolmaster pointing us to Jesus (cf. Galatians 3:24). The round of sacrifices represented here by ...read more

  • A Harvest Of Joy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 15,374 views

    Stand amazed at the infinite mercy of God!

    A HARVEST OF JOY. Psalm 126. The common heading within this group of fifteen Psalms (Psalms 120-134) is “A Song of degrees” - a reference, some believe, to the miracle of the sun going back by ten degrees as a pledge to King Hezekiah that the LORD would extend his life by fifteen years (Isaiah ...read more
