  • A Royal Nativity: The Inbreaking Of The Holy.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,552 views

    The coming of the promised King.

    A ROYAL NATIVITY: THE IN-BREAKING OF THE HOLY. Luke 2:1-20. 1. A ROYAL NATIVITY (Luke 2:1-7). When Jacob blessed his sons, he prophesied that the sceptre would not pass from Judah “UNTIL He comes whose right it is” (Genesis 49:10). Even the hireling prophet Balaam recognised that a king was ...read more

  • Angels And Shepherds

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 7, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 16,265 views

    No person is an 'untouchable' to God: and the things revealed that first Christmas are such that 'angels desire to look into...'

    ANGELS AND SHEPHERDS. Luke 2:8-20. To be a shepherd was not necessarily considered to be one of the higher occupations in the Judean province. This is surprising, since some of Israel's great leaders had been shepherds. Abraham had his flocks, as had Isaac. Jacob kept the flocks of his ...read more

  • A Sturdy Faith?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,911 views

    We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

    A STURDY FAITH? Psalm 125. Sometimes we speak of a person’s great faith, or their unwavering trust in the Lord, as if this was not attainable by any and each and all of us. ‘Oh,’ we say, ‘he has such faith’. Or, ‘she trusts so entirely upon the LORD’. But Jesus, whilst He gently rebukes His ...read more

  • The Unity Of Hope

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,377 views

    The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

    THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

  • Nineveh

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 13 ratings
     | 7,515 views

    The LORD is merciful to those who repent.

    NINEVEH. Jonah 3. The LORD has a case against cities and nations which are full of wickedness (Jonah 1:2) It was not God who brought evil upon mankind, but man himself. No doubt man was created with free will, but he chose to disobey God. From that point on man's will remains free, but only ...read more

  • All Nations Shall Serve Him

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 6, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,648 views

    As surely as the ordinances of sun, moon and stars remain, there will be a king to sit upon the throne of David. That king is Jesus.

    ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM. Psalm 72:1-7; Psalm 72:10-14. The name of Solomon is associated with Psalm 72, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. Yet it is evident that there were limitations to Solomon’s reign, and the monarchy fell into ...read more

  • Jesus Lifted Up On The Cross

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 17, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,229 views

    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

  • Comfort Ye

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 19, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,871 views

    Comfort in the certainty of God's Word.

    COMFORT YE… Isaiah 40:1-11. We have before us a passage which may well be very familiar to us: yet please do not allow its very familiarity to breed contempt. This is a little Gospel, a sort of proto-Gospel written by the prophet many years before the event. Our task is to ask Isaiah concerning ...read more

  • Behold, I Am Doing A New Thing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 20, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,565 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

  • O Magnify The Lord With Me

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 18,708 views

    We taste and see the goodness of the LORD when the words of the LORD have their rightful place in our lives.

    O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. Psalm 34:1-8. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, his ...read more

  • Letters Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 27, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,892 views

    Ministers are just postmen, delivering a message of instruction from God... What kind of letters of Christ are we?

    LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION. 2 Corinthians 3:1-6. Amongst the many difficulties which the Apostle Paul faced in relation to the church which he had founded in Corinth was the existence of self-styled super-apostles who were nothing but peddlers, “making gain by corrupting the word of God” (2 ...read more

  • A Hymn To Our High Priest

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,505 views

    He is our eternal Advocate, always available, always approachable.

    A HYMN TO OUR HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 7:23-28. Jesus’ priesthood is proclaimed to be of a better order than that of Aaron (Hebrews 7:11) because of His similitude to Melchisedec (Hebrews 7:14-15). It is not genealogy which qualifies our great High Priest, but the power of an indissoluble life ...read more

  • Pure Religion: Doing God's Word

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,265 views

    It is amazing how much the Bible has to say about the Poor.

    PURE RELIGION: DOING GOD’S WORD. James 1:22; James 1:27. A. James 1:22 - “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” 1. Be careful how you hear. Jesus says: ‘Who hath ears to hear, let him hear’ (Matthew 13:9). 2. But it is not enough only to hear. The ...read more

  • Christian Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,902 views

    Worldly wisdom versus the 'wisdom from on high.'

    CHRISTIAN WISDOM. James 3:13-4:3; James 4:7-8. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:5) James has used an illustration of two sources in his discussion of the divisiveness of the tongue (James 3:10-12). Now he wants to get to the heart of the matter. It is not, after all, ...read more

  • Bearing Up

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,971 views

    The sufferings of Jesus were unique in that He suffered once for all, the just for the unjust. But we are still sometimes called to bear up and endure grief, suffering unjustly. Our model was laid down in the patient pattern of His sufferings.

    BEARING UP. 1 Peter 2:19-25. The Apostle Peter uses his address to domestic servants (1 Peter 2:18) to illustrate the calling of all Christians to share in the sufferings of Christ. “For this is grace,” he quite literally says (1 Peter 2:19): this is acceptable; this is thankworthy - if out of ...read more
