  • Knowing The Unknowable.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,756 views

    The Cross-shaped love of Christ.

    KNOWING THE UNKNOWABLE. Ephesians 3:14-21. The “For this reason” of Ephesians 3:14 echoes Ephesians 3:1, and picks up the thread of thought that was left there. This follows Paul’s contemplation of the reconciliation accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22). Jesus, by His own ...read more

    Members of one another, and loving the brethren as Christ loved us.

    THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE CHRISTIAN LAW OF LOVE. 1. Members one of another (Ephesians 4:25-32). All of our relationships within the body of Christ must be governed by the Christian law of love (Ephesians 4:2). One of the practical reasons given for “putting away the lie” (as the Greek of ...read more

    Reverencing God, and making a right application of the truth about the brevity of our lives.

    NUMBERING OUR DAYS. Psalm 90:1-12. Psalm 90:1. It is remarkable that the children of Israel survived 400 years in Egypt, and for some of that time under unspeakable oppression. Yet despite their hard labour and sorrow, the LORD had been their dwelling place “from generation to generation”. This ...read more

  • The Lord Walking On Water

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 30, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,784 views

    We at times seem like a boat tossing about on the waves of uncertainty and doubt...

    THE LORD WALKING ON WATER. John 6:16-21. The sea can be such a frightening, unpredictable element that even hardened sailors find themselves overwhelmed at times. If we enter the darkness without our Lord Jesus, this magnifies our terror. Yet when He draws near this also, inexplicably, gives ...read more

  • A Clash Of Kingdoms

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,502 views

    The Kingdom of God goes head to head with the kingdoms of this world.

    A CLASH OF KINGDOMS. Mark 6:14-29. As a unit, Mark 6:14-29 begins and ends with people “having heard” something. Herod “heard” about Jesus and His disciples (Mark 6:14), and drew his own conclusions from it (Mark 6:16). John’s disciples “heard” about John’s death, and acted accordingly (Mark ...read more

  • Plans Of Man And Purposes Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,448 views

    A man’s plans may be one thing (Proverbs 16:9), but it is God’s purposes that prevail (Proverbs 19:21).

    MAN’S PLANS AND GOD’S PURPOSES. Ruth 3:1-5; Ruth 4:13-17. The days of the judges (Ruth 1:1) were turbulent times. ‘There was no king in the land, and everybody did what was right in his own sight’ (Judges 21:25). Anarchy ruled, and God disciplined His people through cycles of invasion, ...read more

  • Food For The Journey

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,466 views

    When we 'feed' on the means of grace we are not only spiritually, but also physically, fortified for the journey.

    FOOD FOR THE JOURNEY. 1 Kings 19:4-8. The vengeful Queen Jezebel had the power and the authority to have the prophet Elijah executed, and let him know so (1 Kings 19:1-2). Hearing this, Elijah fled (1 Kings 19:3). There are times when flight is not so much cowardice as wisdom - and it is in ...read more

  • A Crumb From The Table.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,782 views

    Faith demonstrated in the margins of life.

    A CRUMB FROM THE TABLE. Matthew 15:21-28. In the earlier part of the chapter, Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within. It is also true to say that FAITH flows ...read more

  • Your God Shall Be My God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,970 views

    The vow of Ruth seals the promise, binding her forever not only with Naomi, but also with the LORD.

    YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD. Ruth 1:1-18. Ruth 1:1. “The days when the judges judged” was an age of anarchy (Judges 21:25). Cycles of godlessness were followed by trouble and invasion, the raising of ‘saviours’ and restoration - only for the people of the LORD to fall back again into ...read more

  • Relationship Of The Lord To The Righteous

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 25, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,273 views

    The outworking of the good life.

    THE LORD’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE RIGHTEOUS. Psalm 34:15-22. Jesus adopts the general principle, “the measure you give will be the measure you get” (Mark 4:24). This is because, despite all appearances to the contrary, we are still living in a moral universe. Yet God does allow bad things to ...read more

  • Faith And Works

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,486 views

    The practical faith of Rahab stands in contrast to the platitudes of the person who sent the hungry empty away, and failed to clothe the naked.

    FAITH AND WORKS. James 2:14-26. A person is making what seems to be a credible claim to “faith” - but (as yet) there is no evidence in their lives of their allegiance to Jesus Christ. They seem to have all the right words, but (so far) “works” are lacking. James 2:14. What is the profit in the ...read more

    The globalisation of the Gospel.

    JESUS LIFTED UP ON THE CROSS. John 12:20-36. When Jesus made His last entry into Jerusalem prior to His crucifixion He was met, we are told, by an excited crowd waving palm branches and shouting “Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord” (John 12:13). John makes the sober comment that ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,673 views

    Remember not the former things...

    BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING! Isaiah 43:18-25. The first point of application for the prophecies of Isaiah 1-35 is the contemporary Assyrian threat, which is finally resolved in the narrative of Isaiah 36-37. After King Hezekiah’s sickness in Isaiah 38 - and the miraculous turning back of the ...read more

  • Teach Me Your Stautes

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 9, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,244 views

    How to keep our ways pure.

    TEACH ME YOUR STATUTES. Psalm 119:9-16. The question is posed: “How shall a young man keep His way pure?” (Psalm 119:9a). Before we look at the answer, we might consider who this young man is? The Psalmist seems to be putting himself, and us, in the position of the son (i.e. student) in Proverbs ...read more

  • Doers, Not Hearers Only.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 3, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,232 views

    Practical implications of our new birth.

    DOERS, NOT HEARERS ONLY. James 1:22-27. We must be careful that we are “doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving our own selves” (James 1:22). Having heard and received, we must then put the word into action in our lives. Good works do not make us Christians, but Christians will do good ...read more
