  • Introduction To The Little Apocalypse.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,073 views

    This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    INTRODUCTION TO THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-8. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of ...read more

  • When Israel Went Out Of Egypt.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,145 views

    A defiant celebration of God's sovereign power.

    WHEN ISRAEL WENT OUT OF EGYPT. Psalm 114:1-8. The exuberance of this Psalm is immediately evident. It is a recollection of Israel’s redemption story, beginning from when the descendants of Jacob made their exodus from Egypt. It is the prelude to the founding of what Stephen, the first Christian ...read more

  • Not Through Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 13, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,190 views

    When we believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, our faith also will be accounted as righteousness.

    NOT THROUGH LAW. Romans 4:13-25. The Apostle Paul has already established that Abraham was not justified (made righteous) by works, otherwise he would have grounds of boasting - and who can boast before God? (Romans 4:2). Neither was Abraham justified by circumcision, since that rite was not ...read more

  • A Painful Account.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,927 views

    The substitutionary character of the sacrifice of Jesus.

    A PAINFUL ACCOUNT. Isaiah 53:4-12. The repulsion evoked by the Cross of Jesus is countered by the recognition of the substitutionary character of His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:4). We may have seen Jesus as One “stricken” by God – but the toll which He was paying was not His own. No, indeed, it was ...read more

  • A Twofold Stewardship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,114 views

    The lessons behind a less well-known miraculous feeding.

    A TWOFOLD STEWARDSHIP. 2 Kings 4:42-44. A certain man brought to Elisha a portion of the first-fruits of his land (2 Kings 4:42). It is not clear whether this was an offering over and above that required by the law (Leviticus 23:9-14), but either way this was a token of good stewardship on the ...read more

  • Craving The Bread Of Life

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,487 views

    ‘Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures unto eternal life’ (John 6:27).

    CRAVING THE BREAD OF LIFE. Psalm 78:23-29. This Psalm, the second longest in the Book, demonstrates the cycle of (i) God’s provision for His people/ (ii) their ingratitude and rebellion/ (iii) God’s punishment of them/ (iv) followed by new offers of grace. The passage before us focuses ...read more

  • The Building Of The House

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,801 views

    The LORD watches over His people.

    THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. Psalm 127. This is a “song of degrees,” sung upon the ascent to Jerusalem for worship. It is “for” - or about - Solomon. David had wanted to build a house for the LORD, but the LORD had replied that it was He who would build a “house” - that is, a family and a future ...read more

  • A Heart For God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,730 views

    Psalm 19 has been called the most majestic of David’s Psalms. It falls into two main sections dealing respectively with Creation and Covenant, with an application to follow. These seemingly distinct parts form one unified, progressive whole.

    A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19. In July 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (formerly D/1993 F2) broke apart and collided with the far side of Jupiter. On that occasion I preached on “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1), and wondered at the perfection of God’s creation. God placed the earth ...read more

  • The Springtime Of My Love

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,319 views

    'This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church' (Ephesians 5:32).

    THE SPRINGTIME OF MY LOVE. Song of Songs 2:8-13. The date and time of your next meeting is set: outside the Department store on such a street at such a time on Friday, or whenever. There you are, waiting, perhaps forgetting that these buildings often have more than one door. You wonder if ...read more

  • This Pilgrim Way.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,604 views

    The LORD's leading in the pilgrimage of this life.

    THIS PILGRIM WAY. Psalm 84:1-12. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

  • How To Study The Bible Like A Pro - Class #8c - Methods Of Bible Study Series

     | 1,395 views

    A Continuation of Class #8b

    C. Interpretation Phases The Bible is not merely a collection of various literary genres but that it represents God's revelation of Himself (and of His actions in history) to humanity. 1. Biography/History The primary distinction of the Biblical material is presented in the context of ...read more

  • The Word Of God, And A Heart For God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,603 views

    This is an abbreviated version of my earlier sermon on the whole Psalm, which was entitled 'A Heart for God'.

    THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God. The LORD God has entered into a covenant relationship with mankind, and spoken to us Himself. This ‘special revelation’ is explored in the second main section of this ...read more

  • Christ The King, Our Advent Hope.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 25, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,496 views

    An everlasting kingdom.

    CHRIST THE KING, OUR ADVENT HOPE. Daniel 7:9-10; Daniel 7:13-14. Our reading in Daniel needs to be looked at within its own context: that of a dream portraying the chaos of Empire and Empire building, and the cruelty and ultimate futility of it all. In DANIEL 7:9, “thrones have been thrown ...read more

  • His Plans Not Our Plans

    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,674 views

    The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

    HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will (2 Samuel 7:1-4); 2. God’s presence cannot be contained in a ...read more

  • Drawn Into The Family Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,187 views

    What it means to be heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ.

    DRAWN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. Romans 8:12-17. 1. The mortification of sin (Romans 8:12-14). Paul has just commented that “if Christ is in you the body is dead on account of sin” (Romans 8:10). And that “the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make ...read more
