  • Jesus Upon The Cross.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,729 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    A TABLE SPREAD. John 6:1-14. “After these things” (John 6:1), Jesus and His disciples crossed the sea of Galilee. “And a great multitude followed Him because they saw His miracles which He did to them which were diseased" (John 6:2). Jesus and His disciples then withdrew from the ...read more

  • A Heart For God

    Psalm 19 has been called the most majestic of David’s Psalms. It falls into two main sections dealing respectively with Creation and Covenant, with an application to follow. These seemingly distinct parts form one unified, progressive whole.

    A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19. In July 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (formerly D/1993 F2) broke apart and collided with the far side of Jupiter. On that occasion I preached on “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1), and wondered at the perfection of God’s creation. God placed the earth ...read more

  • Not Through Law

     | 5,142 views

    When we believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, our faith also will be accounted as righteousness.

    NOT THROUGH LAW. Romans 4:13-25. The Apostle Paul has already established that Abraham was not justified (made righteous) by works, otherwise he would have grounds of boasting - and who can boast before God? (Romans 4:2). Neither was Abraham justified by circumcision, since that rite was not ...read more

  • The Word Of God, And A Heart For God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,519 views

    This is an abbreviated version of my earlier sermon on the whole Psalm, which was entitled 'A Heart for God'.

    THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God. The LORD God has entered into a covenant relationship with mankind, and spoken to us Himself. This ‘special revelation’ is explored in the second main section of this ...read more

    Jesus said, You have the poor always with you. Matthew 26:11.

    THE CORRECT TREATMENT OF THE POOR. Proverbs 22:1-2, Proverbs 22:8-9, Proverbs 22:22-23. We have here three pairs of poetic couplets about attitudes to the poor. It is not that the Bible is against wealth itself, or even wealthy people. King Solomon, the writer of some of these Proverbs, was ...read more

  • They Are Not Of This World

    Kept through the Name.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part 2. John 17:11-19. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father” (John 17:11). This epithet is unique, but understandable. Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (John 17:17). John 17:11. He prays that they will be “kept ...read more

  • A Painful Account.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,879 views

    The substitutionary character of the sacrifice of Jesus.

    A PAINFUL ACCOUNT. Isaiah 53:4-12. The repulsion evoked by the Cross of Jesus is countered by the recognition of the substitutionary character of His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:4). We may have seen Jesus as One “stricken” by God – but the toll which He was paying was not His own. No, indeed, it was ...read more

    The LORD watches over His people.

    THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. Psalm 127. This is a “song of degrees,” sung upon the ascent to Jerusalem for worship. It is “for” - or about - Solomon. David had wanted to build a house for the LORD, but the LORD had replied that it was He who would build a “house” - that is, a family and a future ...read more

  • When Israel Went Out Of Egypt.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,068 views

    A defiant celebration of God's sovereign power.

    WHEN ISRAEL WENT OUT OF EGYPT. Psalm 114:1-8. The exuberance of this Psalm is immediately evident. It is a recollection of Israel’s redemption story, beginning from when the descendants of Jacob made their exodus from Egypt. It is the prelude to the founding of what Stephen, the first Christian ...read more

    The LORD's leading in the pilgrimage of this life.

    THIS PILGRIM WAY. Psalm 84:1-12. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

    Our rest based in the finished work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us hold fast our profession and come boldly to the throne of grace.

    ENTERING REST AND FINDING GRACE. Hebrews 4:1-16. “Let us therefore fear” links this passage with the previous chapter. It has to do with the promise of “entering into His rest”, “lest any of you should seem to come short of it” (Hebrews 4:1). The promise of entering the promised land was ...read more

    If you want to be first, learn to be last!

    A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31). About this the disciples were, to say the least, slow on the uptake: ...read more
