  • Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 28th Sunday B Rich Young Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,356 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

  • The Fullness Of Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 24, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 12,357 views

    In the fullness of the time God sent forth His Son (Galatians 4:4). What a momentous sentence!

    THE FULLNESS OF TIME. Galatians 4:4-7. The Apostle Paul was astonished that the Christian converts in Galatia had strayed away from the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to a “different gospel, which is no gospel at all” (Galatians 1:6-7). By turning back to the law as if it was the keeping ...read more

  • The Christian And Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,176 views

    So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. 1 John 3:1-10. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it was ‘while ...read more

  • Jesus In The Midst: The Upper Room.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,751 views

    Trying to understand Jesus without the Scriptures is futile, and comprehending Scripture without Jesus opening our understanding is impossible

    JESUS IN THE MIDST: THE UPPER ROOM. Luke 24:36-48. What a scene met the two from the Emmaus Road upon their return to Jerusalem! The dejected church was now declaring its Easter message: “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.” To which they added their own testimony of the risen ...read more

  • The True Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,998 views

    We draw our spiritual life from the Lord Jesus Christ just as surely as the branch draws the sap from the root.

    THE TRUE VINE. John 15:1-8. In Psalm 80:8-16 Israel is poignantly portrayed as a vine which has spread throughout the whole land, only to be torn down, devoured, and burnt at the time of the Exile. The vineyard motif is again taken up in Isaiah 5:1-7, where a moral reason is given for this ...read more

  • The King Forsaken

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,384 views

    Jesus is the King of the Jews; Christ the King of Israel. The Beloved Son is forsaken, but only to provide us with THE way of escape.

    THE KING FORSAKEN. Mark 15:1-39. After the Sanhedrin had delivered Jesus to Pilate, the first thing that Pilate asked Jesus was, “Are you the KING OF THE JEWS?” Jesus answered, “Thou sayest” (Mark 15:2). Beyond that, Jesus refused to answer any of the accusations brought against Him by His ...read more

  • Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,599 views

    Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

    FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

  • The Gift Of The Love Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,147 views

    Jesus was lifted up in the crucifixion so that everyone who trusts in Him would have eternal life. This was, and is, the supreme act of God’s love.

    THE GIFT OF GOD’S LOVE. John 3:14-21. The LORD God made heaven and earth, and all that is in them. He gives morning and evening, seedtime and harvest. In Him we live, and move, and have our being. The LORD God says of Himself: ‘I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me’ ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,428 views

    Two examples of faith in Jesus.

    A LEPER AND A CENTURION. Matthew 8:1-13. At the beginning of the Sermon of the Mount Jesus had been ‘set’ and ‘His disciples came unto Him’ (cf. Matthew 5:1). At the end of the Sermon we were told of the other people who had been listening in, how they had been amazed at His teaching: ‘For ...read more

  • Holistic Healing Through The Cross.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,155 views

    Jesus predicts His death and resurrection. A blind man receives his sight, and his salvation.

    HOLISTIC HEALING THROUGH THE CROSS. Luke 18:31-43. 1. Jesus predicts His death and resurrection (Luke 18:31-34). Jesus was a patient teacher. The Lord reminded His disciples that His journey to Jerusalem would precipitate events which would lead to His death and resurrection. This was why ...read more

  • Weeping, Cleansing, And Teaching.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 2, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,603 views

    Jesus wept over Jerusalem, cleansed the Temple, and taught the people who were attentive to Him.

    WEEPING, CLEANSING, AND TEACHING. Luke 19:41-47a. 1. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44). As He approached Jerusalem, ‘the man Christ Jesus’ (cf. 1 Timothy 2:5) wept over the city and the people whom He loved (Luke 19:41). His complaint about the people (Luke 19:42) became a ...read more

  • The Numberless Proofs Of The Goodness Of The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,198 views

    The coming of Jesus to die for us.

    THE NUMBERLESS PROOFS OF THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD. Psalm 40:5-10. The Psalmist is at great pains to demonstrate how “numberless” are the proofs of the LORD’s goodness (Psalm 40:5). What the LORD has done for us ‘hitherto’ (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12) becomes more and more difficult to enumerate: His ...read more

  • A Body Prepared.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,285 views

    The timeliness of what Jesus came to do, "once and for all" (Hebrews 10:10).

    A BODY PREPARED. Hebrews 10:4-10. The epitaph of the Old Testament sacrificial system is: “it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4; see also Hebrews 10:6; Hebrews 10:8). Now it was time to move on to new and better things (cf. Hebrews ...read more

  • Some Observations Of Solomon.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 156 views

    Words fitly spoken.

    SOME OBSERVATIONS OF SOLOMON. Proverbs 25:6-14. 1. “Come up hither” (Proverbs 25:6-7). This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (cf. Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, ...read more

  • The Tricks And Deceptions Of The Devil.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 601 views

    'Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil' (Ephesians 6:10).

    THE TRICKS AND DECEPTIONS OF THE DEVIL. Genesis 3:1-6. Perhaps our first parents did not know the history of the fall of Lucifer, the day star in Isaiah 14:12-21 and Ezekiel 28:11-19. But it did not take long for the cunning serpent to draw them into his pernicious scheme to undermine the LORD ...read more
