  • Between Grace And Glory

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 14, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,128 views

    The grace that saves us is the grace that teaches us how to renounce the old way of life, and live the new life which is ours in Christ Jesus.

    BETWEEN GRACE AND GLORY. Titus 2:11-14. The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Titus has much to say about how Christian people should live between the two Advents - or “epiphanies” - of our Lord Jesus Christ: and this little section sets a theological basis for our behaviour. The grace of God has ...read more

  • A Complete Way Of Life.

    Being a Christian is not defined by what we do, or what we do not do; but by who we are, and Whose we are.

    A COMPLETE WAY OF LIFE. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24. Many people labour under the misapprehension that Christianity is negative, emphasising the prohibitions of the Ten Commandments. Yet even the Decalogue has positive commands: “Remember the Sabbath day”; “Honour your father and mother” - along ...read more

     | 9,564 views

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,358 views

    The wisdom of the wise versus the foolishness of preaching.

    A WORD TO THE WISE. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. The common consensus in the world of Paul’s day was that God exists. The Jews knew the identity of the true and living God from their past encounters with Him; but the Greeks were floundering about in the dark, seeking ways of access to God through the ...read more

  • The Gentile Pentecost

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,036 views

    The ways of the Holy Spirit are not always exactly the same.

    THE GENTILE PENTECOST. Acts 10:44-48. On one occasion, king David inquired of the LORD, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines?’ To which the LORD replied, ‘Go up,’ and David defeated the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:19). Threatened again by the same enemy, the same David asked the same LORD the same ...read more

  • The Envoy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,022 views

    The commission of John was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to seek honour for himself. The message of the gospel is not about us, it is about Jesus!

    THE ENVOY. John 1:6-8. “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.” John the Evangelist has introduced the Word of God ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,726 views

    When we recognise Jesus for who He is, we also see something of the glory of God.

    THE INCARNATION OF THE WORD. John 1:14-18. 1. THE WORD BECAME FLESH. Having established the connection between faith and being “born again” (John 1:12-13), the Apostle John now explains how that has been made possible. It took nothing less than the incarnation of God Himself (John 1:1). We can ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,506 views

    Jesus as the Door of the sheep, and the Good Shepherd.

    THE SHEEP-GATE AND THE SHEPHERD. John 10:1-18. Back in the second "I am" saying of Jesus, He declared Himself to be the light of the world (John 8:12), and ratified this claim by healing a man born blind (John 9:5-7). The Pharisees excommunicated the (now healed) man born blind ...read more

  • Paradigms Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,466 views

    We pray for the glory of God. We consider that it is He who we have sinned against. We pray in solidarity with those for whom we pray. We don't try to restrict God.

    PARADIGMS OF PRAYER. 1. Solidarity with those for whom we pray (Exodus 32:30-32) Moses presents us with an example of true, thoroughgoing, intercessory prayer. This is Moses’ prayer after the infamous ‘Golden Calf’ incident, when the people had committed idolatry at the foot of Mount Sinai ...read more

  • Understanding Grace

     | 6,225 views

    Many in the world today, Christian as well as Non-Christian fall short of understanding Grace and what it really is. “Grace is the unmerited operation of God in the heart of man, imparted through the Holy Ghost”.

    Understand Grace By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Many in the world today, Christian as well as Non-Christian fall short of understanding Grace and what it really is. The common understanding or rather misunderstanding of grace is founded upon an unbiblical view of grace that comes out ...read more

    The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.

    THE WORD MADE FLESH. ABRIDGED. John 1:1-18. I. THE ETERNAL WORD. John 1:1-3. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” ...read more

  • O Ye His Saints.

     | 1,019 views

    Saints are humble folks who revere the Lord.

    O YE HIS SAINTS. Psalm 34:1-10, Psalm 34:22. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (cf. 1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, ...read more

    "I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice" (John 16:22).

    SORROW WILL TURN TO JOY. John 16:16-22. JOHN 16:16a. The sense of John 16:16 seems to be “A little while and ye do not behold Me…” This refers to the fact that within hours Jesus would be arrested, tried, crucified, and buried. JOHN 16:16b. “again a little while, and ye shall see me” brings us ...read more

  • The Grace Of Service.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,148 views

    A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

    THE GRACE OF SERVICE. 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter has already told us the ‘last days’ began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:16-18). Now he tells us that “the end of all things is at hand” (1 PETER 4:7a). Although he wrote those words nearly two millennia ago, that sense of imminence remains. The question is: ...read more

  • Breathe On Me Breath Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 28, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,141 views

    The remission or retaining of sins is declarative, and belongs to the task of preaching the gospel.

    BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD. John 20:19-23. It was the evening of the first day of the week: the day of the resurrection; the first day of the new creation. The disciples met together behind closed doors “for fear” (John 20:19). Fear stifles faith: this is why the Lord and His messengers so ...read more
