    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2023
    based on 2 ratings

    Mortal man seeks divine assurance.

    A TRANSITORY LIFE AND A BETTER PROSPECT. Psalm 90:1-6, Psalm 90:13-17. 1. A Transitory Life. 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 ...read more

  • Let Us Sing Unto The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 924 views

    This is serious worship, with its focus upon who the LORD is (the Rock), and who He is to us (the rock of our salvation).

    LET US SING UNTO THE LORD. Psalm 95:1-7a. In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote. So when the praise-leader sang “O Come let us sing unto the LORD” (Psalm 95:1), the congregation knew to join in the singing of Psalm 95. ...read more

     | 1,119 views

    They may as well cover their lips since they had nothing to say from God.

    THE MAMMON OF THE PROPHETS. Micah 3:5-12. Jesus said, ‘Ye cannot serve God and Mammon’ (cf. Matthew 6:24). Yet this was what “the prophets” of Prophet Micah’s day were trying to do: they would preach “Peace” to those who fed them, but would “prepare war” against those who “putteth not into ...read more

    A prince from the house of David.

    THE DAVIDIC SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Ezekiel 34:20-24. 1. The Good Shepherd (Ezekiel 34:11-16). First, we see the Good Shepherd as the one who seeks out the lost sheep, Ezekiel 34:11. ‘If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,’ teaches Jesus, ‘does he not go to the ...read more

  • About Formalism In Worship.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 31, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,085 views

    It is not good when our worship is nothing more than a formality, rather than an engagement with the One whom we are supposedly worshipping.

    ABOUT FORMALISM IN WORSHIP. Psalm 50:7-15. Taken as a whole, the content of this Psalm appears as a court case, with El Elohim Yahweh, “the Mighty God the LORD” (cf. Psalm 50:1) presiding as Judge (cf. Psalm 50:6) - and God’s covenant people in the dock (cf. Psalm 50:5). Here the ...read more

  • The Son Of Laughter.

     | 1,483 views

    Is anything too hard for the LORD?

    THE SON OF LAUGHTER. Genesis 18:1-15, Genesis 21:1-7. 1. The promise (Genesis 18:1-15). This passage is described as an encounter in which “the LORD” (= YHWH, Hebrew) “appeared unto” Abraham when he was having his siesta “in the heat of the day.” When he lifted up his head, suddenly, there ...read more

  • A Prayer Of David.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 11, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,719 views

    The LORD is a very present help in time of need.

    A PRAYER OF DAVID. Psalm 86:1-10, Psalm 86:16-17. PSALM 86:1. Whatever troubles the Psalmist was facing, he recognises two things: the greatness of the LORD (YHWH), and his own smallness. Such is his humility when he asks the LORD to “Bow down (His) ear” to such a one as is “poor and needy.” The ...read more

  • 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

  • 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
     | 1,649 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

  • Mindsets.

     | 1,960 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. There is a chorus which connects Psalm 86:10 to the beginning of Psalm 86:11. “For thou art great, and doest wondrous things; thou art God alone. Teach me thy way O LORD.” PSALM 86:11. The prayer “Teach me thy way” is followed ...read more

    based on 2 ratings

    The purposes of God and the scheming of Jacob.

    JACOB AND ESAU. Genesis 25:19-34. 1. The two nations in Rebekah’s womb. GENESIS 25:19-20. As the genealogy passes from Abraham to Isaac we are told that Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah. GENESIS 25:21. Once again there is a record of prolonged barrenness within the family. ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 26, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,541 views

    God has written His word upon our hearts, and inclines our wills to keeping it.

    THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD. Psalm 119:105-112. PSALM 119:105. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” The word of God, the Bible, is totally reliable (cf. Hebrews 4:12). The Psalmist unreservedly relies upon it. Furthermore, Jesus is the Word (cf. John 1:1), and He is the ...read more
