  • Our Boast In God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 22, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 107 views

    These verses form the basis for an appeal to God for deliverance.

    OUR BOAST IN GOD. Psalm 44:1-8. It is well if we base our appeals and cries for help to God not upon ourselves (our own good name, what we imagine we have achieved, and what we have done or not done); but rather upon His good name (PSALM 44:5; PSALM 44:8), what He has done in the past (cf. 1 ...read more

    The prayer of a soul in distress.

    AN APPEAL FOR DELIVERANCE. Psalm 143:1-12. Who are we going to turn to in a time of distress? For the believer, it can only be the LORD. We know that the LORD has helped us hitherto (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12), and that He is ‘a very present help in time of trouble’ (cf. Psalm 46:1). PSALM 143:1. ...read more

    LIVING BEFORE GOD IN THE WORLD. 1 Peter 2:11-17.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,148 views

    It is good to follow the crowds who listen to the Gospel, but it is better to follow the Jesus whom we preach!

    THE BAPTISM AND ANOINTING OF JESUS. Mark 1:4-11. MARK 1:4. John preached the “baptism of repentance.” Baptism is a dipping of the physical body into water. The baptism administered by John signified a turning away from sin and a turning unto God. Every wicked act, every unguarded word, ...read more

    THE BEGINNING OF JESUS’ MINISTRY. Mark 1:9-15. MARK 1:9-11. The Baptism of Jesus. Jesus came to John to be baptised in the River Jordan. Jesus did not have any personal sin to repent of, but His washing with water may have signified the ritual washing of a priest when he is first ...read more

    Keep on praying.

    THE TIME TO FAVOUR ZION. Psalm 102:12-17. Man in his affliction may feel that his days are racing away from him (cf. Psalm 102:11). Yet, before our legitimate prayer (cf. Psalm 102:1) disintegrates into despair, it is well to remind ourselves that “thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever, and thy ...read more

    My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness

    TRUST IN THE MIDST OF TRIAL. Psalm 141:1-8. This is a confident cry for help in the midst of tribulations. It is addressed initially to “YHWH,” our covenant Lord (PSALM 141:1). Then later the Psalmist addresses “YHWH Adonai” - emphasising both our personal relationship with Him, and His ...read more

  • Christ Our Passover Is Sacrificed For Us.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,269 views

    A perpetual feast to the LORD.

    CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. The context for this passage is one of church discipline (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:1). The case in point concerns an incestuous affair which, far from addressing, the church seems to have been ‘puffed up’ about (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:2). ...read more

    Elisha addresses two situations: on the one hand, economic bondage; on the other, childlessness.

    THE WIDOW AND THE GREAT WOMAN. 2 Kings 4:1-17. These accounts show Elisha to be a worthy successor to Elijah, and his miracles anticipate the compassionate ministry of Jesus. 1. The Widow. We are confronted first with “a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets” (2 KINGS 4:1), who ...read more

    Subjection to rulers.

    THE POWERS THAT BE. Romans 13:1-7. “The powers that be” to whom “every soul” is to be “subject” (ROMANS 13:1) are called “rulers” in ROMANS 13:3 (translated as ‘magistrates’ in Luke 12:11), “who do not bear the sword in vain” (ROMANS 13:4). We are to “be subject unto” them because “the powers ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 521 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

    The longer the Lord’s delay, the more time there is for repentance.

    THE PATIENCE OF THE LORD. 2 Peter 3:8-15a. 2 PETER 3:8. Peter wishes to emphasize to his “beloved” friends that the longer the Lord’s delay, the more time there is for repentance.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,731 views

    Solomon would build the LORD’s house, and the LORD would build the “house” (dynasty) of David.

    WHO WILL BUILD WHOSE HOUSE? 2 Samuel 7:1-11, 2 Samuel 7:16. 2 SAMUEL 7:1-4. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will. God’s purposes will never fail, but amongst men an idea is often marred by mixed motives. For example, Israel’s reason for wanting a king was that they ...read more
