    Chosen to be holy.

    BLESSING THE ONE WHO BLESSES US WITH BLESSINGS. Ephesians 1:3-14. In their original language, these verses constitute the longest sentence in the whole Bible. They form one long celebration of the Blessed One, who blesses us with blessings (Ephesians 1:3). The blessings begin with Him, bring ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 14,483 views

    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

    "And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived” (1 KINGS 17:22).

    ELIJAH RAISES THE WIDOW’S SON. 1 Kings 17:17-24. Lest the widow of Zarephath should imagine that she was singled out in preference even to the Israeli widows on account of her own merits, she was sent a trial of faith, which both made her aware of her own sinfulness, and of the possible source ...read more

  • The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,295 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

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

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 19, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,186 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

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Sep 18, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,073 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

     | 5,731 views

    1) Pondering of the Words (Revelation 22:18a), 2) Proliferation of the Words (Revelation 22:18b), 3) Purging of the Words (Revelation 22:19)

    Suppose that you became a Christian in the second century A.D. You’ve heard the story of a divine being who died on a cross and rose from the dead. Through baptism, you’ve openly identified yourself with his followers. Now, you want to learn more about this deity. Yet you quickly ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,159 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

  • From Joseph To Moses And Aaron.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 365 views

    The LORD our God was the One who called for the famine, but He had already sent Joseph ahead of Israel into Egypt. He turned the heart of the Egyptians to hate His people, but sent Moses and Aaron to bring them out of Egypt. He shows Himself Sovereign over all things.

    FROM JOSEPH TO MOSES AND AARON. Psalm 105:16-26. 1. The Sending of Joseph. Psalm 105:16-22. PSALM 105:16. It is the LORD our God who “called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread.” Bread, or any staple, is aptly called ‘the staff of life’ – for without his staff man ...read more

  • A Psalm Of Trust In Relationship With God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 18, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,218 views

    The comprehensiveness of God's protection.

    A PSALM OF TRUST IN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Psalm 91:1-16. PSALM 91:1-2. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even ...read more

    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.

  • Choose Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,878 views

    "Choose life": an exhortation that belongs not only to the outset of the Christian life, but to all our choices in this life.

    CHOOSE LIFE. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. On more than one occasion I am sure, “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19) has been used, not inappropriately, as the text for an evangelistic sermon. The context, however, suggests that these words were not originally addressed to people who did not know the LORD ...read more
