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

    ANXIETY. Matthew 6:25-34. MATTHEW 6:25. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate translation. When Jesus says (literally) “be not careful,” He obviously is not sanctioning thoughtlessness, nor even carelessness. He rather means, “Do not be anxious.” Jesus introduces a trinity of cares: what ...read more

     | 916 views

    “Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other” (Psalm 85:10).

    THE EMBRACE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE. Psalm 85:1-2, Psalm 85:8-13. In Psalm 85 we have first a prayer (Psalm 85:1-7), then what has been termed “an answer of peace” (Psalm 85:8-13). The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, but by recalling to mind God’s past favours (Psalm 85:1-2). We ...read more

  • Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 336 views

    Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

    PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

  • Jesus' Triumphant Entrance Into Jerusalem.

    Expectation and palm branches.

    JESUS’ TRIUMPHANT ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM. John 12:12-19. First, in this short passage, we see the sense of expectation of the people of God (John 12:12). We read that “much people” who were come to the feast, “heard” that Jesus was coming to the City. And hearing, they acted on it. Second, ...read more

  • A Royal Nativity. Revised.

    The most significant census of all history.

    A ROYAL NATIVITY. Luke 2:1-7. Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that “all the world” should be “registered” (Luke 2:1). Unbeknown to the mighty Emperor, this was going to be the most significant census of all history. After all, even the most powerful of potentates are subservient, whether ...read more

  • The Serpent And The Cross.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,296 views

    Without the Cross there is no salvation for any one of us, bitten as we are by the sting of death which is sin.

    THE SERPENT AND THE CROSS. John 3:14-21. JOHN 3:14. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” This refers back to an incident during the wilderness wanderings of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 21:4-9), and forward to the crucifixion. ...read more

  • The Witnesses To The Death Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 772 views

    Jesus was surely dead, and certified so by the authorities.

    THE WITNESSES TO THE DEATH OF JESUS. Mark 15:39-47. After Jesus ‘cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost’ and ‘the veil in the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom’ (cf. Mark 15:37-38), the first person to realise the full meaning of what has just happened was not one ...read more

  • The Preparation.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,233 views

    A sacrificial insight framed by plots against Jesus.

    THE PREPARATION. Mark 14:1-11. 1. The Plot to Kill Jesus (Mark 14:1-2). The first thing that we notice as we enter into this passage is that it was the LORD who was setting the timetable for Jesus’ death. It was "the feast of the PASSOVER, and of Unleavened Bread” (MARK 14:1a). In other ...read more

  • The Denial By Peter.

    Watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation. Mark 14 verse 38.

    THE DENIAL BY PETER. Mark 14:27-72. In the Bible, the weakness of God’s servants is held aloft as an example for all to see. The account of Peter’s denial of Jesus is a humbling reminder that even the best of men is vulnerable to the wiles of the devil, if he allows himself to be caught off ...read more

  • The Relentless Rhythms Of Time.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 537 views

    A time for everything.

    THE RELENTLESS RHYTHMS OF TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:1-13. ‘Turn, turn, turn’ is the refrain of the old pop song based upon these verses. However, time is not circular, but linear: it is more like a river relentlessly, but always, running downstream. It is our subjective experience of time that gives ...read more

    God is looking for people with proper understand of His love and power!

    My Dad is my king! Judges 13:23 But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time."

     | 492 views

    We worship God with our holy hands ( 1 Tim. 2:8), our modest dress (1 Tim. 2:9-10), and through controlling our tongue (James 3:9-10)

    Worshiping God With Our Bodies 1. Lift up Holy Hands in Worship (1 Tim. 2:8; Psalm 134:2). A. Worship without _anger_ (1 Tim. 2:8). I.

    Josiah teaches us the proper response to God’s Word

    Introduction: I heard a story recently about a young preacher who was very gifted with the ability to speak. But as the congregation began to grow and he received more and more compliments, his head began to swell as well. After delivering one of his sermons, a member of the congregation shook ...read more
