    The Reproaches Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,037 views

    Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

    THE REPROACHES OF JESUS. Psalm 69:7-18. PSALM 69:7. This is a cry akin to ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’ (cf. Psalm 22:1). Of course, we are aware that it was for OUR benefit, OUR salvation that Jesus died. But even before that, it was for the glory of God: that He might be seen to ...read more

    Christian Reactions

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,413 views

    How to overcome evil with good.

    CHRISTIAN REACTIONS. Romans 12:14-21. Romans 12:14. The positive imperative is to “bless” those who persecute us. This is similar to the teaching of Jesus (Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27-28). The supreme example is that of Jesus Himself (1 Peter 2:21-23). This partly involved Jesus praying for His ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,364 views

    I the LORD do all these things

    THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. Isaiah 45:1-7. This chapter opens with the astonishing reference to Cyrus, King of Persia, as the LORD’s “anointed” - literally, “messiah” (Isaiah 45:1). It is designed to shock us with the fact that the LORD not only uses Gentiles to fulfil His ...read more

    The danger of worship without mercy.

    JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BETTER THAN RITUALS. Amos 5:18-24. Historically, Israel had split into two kingdoms shortly after the death of king David’s son, king Solomon. The ten tribes of the north rejected both the dynasty of David, and the worship of the Jerusalem temple, and set up their ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 22, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,981 views

    The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

    A CALL TO SILENCE. Zephaniah 1:7; Zephaniah 1:12-18. Speaking during the reign of king Josiah of Judah, Zephaniah spends a lot of energy outlining a universal judgment against the whole earth (Zephaniah 1:1-3), INCLUDING Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:4-6). “Hold thy peace,” he cries, “for ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,065 views

    From a trackless wilderness to a City to dwell in.

    A CITY OF HABITATION Psalm 107:1-7; Psalm 107:33-37. This Psalm is a call to thanksgiving to the LORD, “for He is good: for His mercy endures forever” (Psalm 107:1). The writer longs that those whom the LORD has redeemed, whom He has redeemed from the hand of enemy - out of the east, and ...read more

    A Journey Back To Faith.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 16, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,795 views

    The futility of contemplating a life without God.

    A JOURNEY BACK TO FAITH. Ecclesiastes 1:2, Ecclesiastes 1:12-14, Ecclesiastes 2:18-23. The harder we try to understand the book of Ecclesiastes, the greater the temptation to chime in with the author’s refrain: “all is vanity!” Yet, somewhere along the way, we might realise that it is going ...read more

    A Trial Of Contradictory Prophesies.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,242 views

    A showdown in the Temple, between a true and a false prophet.

    A TRIAL OF CONTRADICTORY PROPHECIES. Jeremiah 28:5-9. One of the false prophets, Hananiah, prophesied that the exile would only last two years (cf. Jeremiah 28:1-4). This was a lie of the devil (cf. Jeremiah 28:15). Somewhat ironically, Hananiah’s name means, ‘the grace of the LORD.’ ...read more

    The Problem Of Indwelling Sin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,648 views

    Sin uses the law against us; but our victory lies not in ourselves but in the risen Lord Jesus.

    THE PROBLEM OF INDWELLING SIN. Romans 7:15-25a. In the first half of Romans 7:14, Paul speaks in the second person plural: ‘For WE know that the law is spiritual.’ Then, from the second half of the verse, Paul changes to the first person singular, ‘I’ – ‘but I am carnal, sold under (or a ...read more

    When we walk in God's way, He orders our steps.

    A WIFE FOR ISAAC. Genesis 24:34-38, Genesis 24:42-49, Genesis 24:58-67. The 24th chapter of the Book of Genesis is a beautifully written and well-crafted telling and retelling of the history of the mission of Abraham’s servant to find a wife for Isaac. The whole passage moves along at a ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,956 views

    God did what the law could not. The present state of the believer is one of hope.

    MINDSETS. Romans 8:1-11. I. A SET FREE MINDSET. Romans 8:1-5. “Then-now-no” begins the Greek of this wonderful chapter of God’s Book. This firm negation placed right at the beginning of the sentence serves to emphasise the absolute impossibility of there ever being any “condemnation” - to ...read more

    Teach me thy way O LORD.

    A PRAYER FOR THE CONTINUATION OF GOD’S GRACE. Psalm 86:11-17.

The prayer “Teach me thy way” is followed ...read more

    Prayer Series - Supplication Series

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 7, 2002
    based on 68 ratings
     | 18,216 views

    What is supplication and what is the proper way to do it?

    Supplication We now come to the last letter of our acronym - ACTS. We are at Supplication. Dr. John R. Rice wrote a fairly thick book basically saying that prayer is asking or what we think of as supplication. I agree with this premise. However, in study for this message I found it interesting ...read more
