    Arise, Shine, Your Light Is Come

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 13 ratings
     | 15,546 views

    Our job is to reflect His light.

    ARISE, SHINE, YOUR LIGHT IS COME. Isaiah 60:1-6. Zion was enveloped in a thick spiritual darkness on account of her sins (Isaiah 59:9-12). It was a darkness like the deepest discouragements and depression of the human heart: a darkness that could be felt (Exodus 10:21). It was a darkness that ...read more

    Healing, Resurrection, And Salvation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 25, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,902 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

    Easter Evening.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 23, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,560 views

    Our wisdom is to receive by faith what we do not yet understand.

    EASTER EVENING. Luke 24:13-49. A man named Cleopas and his travelling companion were on their way back from Jerusalem, walking the seven miles to a village named Emmaus. Their conversation was very much taken up with concerns about the death of Jesus. A stranger drew near, and walked with ...read more

    A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,449 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
     | 2,661 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

    The Giddy Heights Of Agape Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 9, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,771 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

    A Judgment We Can Bear.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 424 views

    The God who comes, and is coming, and shall not keep silence (Psalm 50:3).

    A JUDGMENT WE CAN BEAR. Psalm 50:1-6. This Psalm speaks of the mighty God, the God who speaks, the God of all Creation (Psalm 50:1). The God whose word shines forth from the heavenly Zion, and from the earthly Jerusalem (Psalm 50:2), to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 2:3). The God who comes, and ...read more

    Jesus Claims His Kingdom.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 31, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 575 views

    The ultimate Son of man, the new Adam, is given dominion over all mankind.

    JESUS CLAIMS HIS KINGDOM. Daniel 7:13-14. In DANIEL 7:13, “one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.” In the Gospels, ‘Son of man’ is Jesus’ favourite name for Himself (cf. Mark 14:61-62). It was understood to ...read more

    O Sing Praises Unto The Lord.

     | 653 views

    "He doth send out His voice, and that a mighty voice" (PSALM 68:33).

    O SING PRAISES UNTO THE LORD. Psalm 68:32-35. PSALM 68:32. The closing exhortation of this Psalm calls upon all the kingdoms of the earth to sing praises unto God. PSALM 68:33. He is again referred to under the figure of “Him that rideth upon the heavens” (cf. Psalm 68:4). But now we are told ...read more

    Love The Lord Thy God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 727 views

    The LORD is God alone, and will tolerate no rivals.

    LOVE THE LORD THY GOD. Deuteronomy 6:4-9. One of the core texts in the whole Bible is the Shema (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5). “Hear O Israel…” is something of a refrain in Deuteronomy, much as Jesus would later often say, ‘he who has ears to hear, let him hear.’ Here we are told who the LORD is, and ...read more

    A Bold Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 718 views

    Shaping our prayers in accordance with what we know about the character of God.

    A BOLD PRAYER. Genesis 18:23-32. The conversation between the LORD and Abraham suggests a relationship. God shares His Word with His covenant children, and prompts us to respond. If we are made privy to the purposes of the LORD then we may, without presumptuousness, speak our mind about ...read more

    The second significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    THE HEALING OF THE SON OF A NOBLEMAN. John 4:46-54. Returning to Cana, where Jesus had turned the water into wine, He was met by a royal official from Capernaum whose son was sick, even to the point of death. The man entreated Jesus to come down and heal his boy (JOHN 4:46-47). “Except ye see ...read more

    Privilege And Neighbourly Kindness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 750 views

    He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    PRIVILEGE AND NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS. Luke 10:23-37. 1. Living in an age of Privilege (Luke 10:23-24). Jesus told His disciples, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.” We cannot imagine what the Old Testament saints might have given to share in the privileges of those ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 822 views

    "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).

    A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES. Matthew 6:24-34. MATTHEW 6:24. We must choose between “God” and “Mammon.” It is all a question of priorities. If we are a slave to the things of this world, then we cannot be an effective servant of the kingdom of God. MATTHEW 6:25. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate ...read more

    Ministers Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 489 views

    Trustworthiness is more important than either success or popularity. Ministers are accountable to God.

    MINISTERS OF CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:1. a). “Let a man so account of us.” Of whom? Of Paul and Apollos (cf. 1 Corinthians 4:6). b). “as ministers (attendants) of Christ.” Not lords over the Church (cf. 1 Peter 5:3), but servants of the Lord of the Church. Servants, ...read more
