  • For This I Came

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 12, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,974 views

    When Jesus said, To this end was I born, He was acknowledging His incarnation.

    FOR THIS I CAME. John 18:33-37. The interview between Pilate and Jesus paints a pathetic picture. The King of kings stood accused before the tribunal of an earthly governor. The prisoner appeared so unlike the usual kind of revolutionary that you could almost hear the scorn in the prefect’s ...read more

  • A Call To Unlimited Forgiveness

    The full extent of the law, versus the full extent of grace.

    A CALL TO UNLIMITED FORGIVENESS. Matthew 18:21-35. Peter’s question, “How many times shall I forgive my brother?” (MATTHEW 18:21) arises out of the context of church discipline (cf. Matthew 18:15-20). Perhaps the original grievance was resolved, between one brother and another. The brother was ...read more

    An illustration of God's new order of things.

    THE LABOURERS IN THE VINEYARD. Matthew 20:1-16. This parable is part of Jesus’ response to Peter’s question: ‘Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?’ (cf. Matthew 19:27). This challenging part of the reply is framed with a formula concerning the ‘first’ ...read more

  • Follow My Leader

    based on 4 ratings

    Receive not the grace of God in vain.

    FOLLOW MY LEADER. 2 Corinthians 6:1-13. In his earlier letter, Paul had spoken of himself and others as ‘God’s fellow-workers’ (1 Corinthians 3:9). The word for “fellow-workers” gives us our English word, ‘synergy’, which speaks of a combined effort, a co-operation with God if you will. It ...read more

  • A Missionary To The Gentiles

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,746 views

    Anticipating the Gentile mission of Acts, Luke shows how it was first initiated by Jesus, through the unlikely figure of the man who came at Jesus from the tombs.

    A MISSIONARY TO THE GENTILES. Luke 8:26-39. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

    They say, “You can never go back.” “They” are right for the most part – and there really is no need to, except to allow where and who we have been to give us a proper perspective on who we have become. I cannot help but wonder how much of that Jesus felt

    Philip Yancey, in his book, The Jesus I Never Knew, gives this illustration: "George Buttrick, former chaplain at Harvard, recalls that students would come into his office, plop down on a chair and declare, ’I don’t believe in God.’ Buttrick would give this disarming reply: ’Sit down and tell me ...read more

  • Wisdom, Knowledge And Understanding

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Aug 21, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,410 views

    Beloved, to miss our purpose in life, is to miss everything because our purpose is what drives our vision and without the proper wisdom to use the knowledge we have learned, we will miss our assignment causing our life and ministry to end-up shipwrecked on the rocks of doom and despair.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Proverbs 4:5-6) (5) “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.” (6) “Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.” (Proverbs ...read more

    In the 4th petition of The Lord’s Prayer, we are taught to pray the words “Give us this day our daily bread.” Our Gospel reading for this morning is a great illustration of how our Lord goes about answering this petition.

    THE UNJUST STEWARD. Luke 16:1-9. For centuries interpreters have been more than a little puzzled, perplexed and disturbed by the parable of the unjust steward, at the beginning of Luke 16. The Emperor Julian, otherwise known as Julian the Apostate, even tried to use this parable to show that ...read more
