    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,942 views

    The balance between royal invitation, and choice.

    A MARRIAGE FEAST FOR A ROYAL SON. Matthew 22:1-14. Following the failure of the chief priests and Pharisees to lay malicious hands on Jesus (Matthew 21:45-46), Jesus “answered and spoke to them again by parables” (Matthew 22:1). He spoke of the kingdom of heaven being “like unto a king, who made ...read more

  • A Fine Balance: Fulfilling Our Obligations To Both God And The State

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2014

    Render to Caesar Caesar’s image, which is on the coin; and to God God’s image, which is on man.

    FULFILLING OBLIGATIONS TO GOD AND STATE. Matthew 22:15-22. 1. Wickedness finds strange bedfellows. The Pharisees denied the Emperor any right to demand tribute money - and whilst they no doubt used the common money for common purposes, they questioned the validity of the coinage (which ...read more

  • Stillness And The Power Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,133 views

    Swimming against the religious tide is a lonely business. Doubts may follow, but the LORD recalls us to duty.

    STILLNESS AND THE POWER OF GOD. 1 Kings 19:1-19. A. THE WILDERNESS OF DISSENT (1 Kings 19:1-8). It is hard when we stand out in the crowd, but Christians are different. The Bible names us a ‘peculiar people’ - called out of darkness into His marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). Privileges carry ...read more

  • The Temptation Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 20, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,102 views

    Using the Word of God to defeat the devil.

    THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS. Matthew 4:1-11. The wilderness (Matthew 4:1). When God created man, He placed him in a garden (Genesis 2:15). The world when it was created resembled something more like a garden than it does today. God created all things ‘very good‘ (Genesis 1:31), but man’s collective ...read more

  • Persecution: The Opening Salvoes

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 25, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,877 views

    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution. This is not surprising, and quite in keeping with the pattern of the earlier ministry of Jesus. For example, Herod the ...read more

  • Rejoice In The Lord - Always!

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,490 views

    Not rejoice in the Lord 'anyway' - but Rejoice in the Lord "Always".

    REJOICE IN THE LORD - ALWAYS! Philippians 4:4-7. It was midnight, and in a certain prison in Philippi, the Apostle Paul and his missionary companion Silas had been left to languish in chains in a dark dungeon. However, if we were to listen in at the door we would not hear the moans and groans ...read more

  • Give Ear, O Shepherd Of Israel.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 7, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,129 views

    No matter what the world throws at us, we will persevere in the LORD.

    GIVE EAR, O SHEPHERD OF ISRAEL. Psalm 80:1-7; Psalm 80:17-19. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control of all things is to make our complaints known to Him. In Psalm 80 the writer bemoans the plight of the ...read more

  • A Dream Of Joseph.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 7, 2013
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,062 views

    Joseph was not afraid to take the lead in his family, and opened his heart and his home to the Son of God.

    JOSEPH’S DREAM. Matthew 1:18-25. Joseph was a dreamer. This was true of the Old Testament Joseph, the son of Jacob, derogatively referred to as “this dreamer” (cf. Genesis 37:19). It was also true of the New Testament Joseph, recognised here as “the son of David” (Matthew 1:20). Joseph ...read more

  • The Deliverer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,754 views

    Bethlehem, after all, is no mean city...

    THE DELIVERER. Micah 5:1-6. In Micah 3 a threat was made against the judges and rulers of Israel. In Micah 5:1 we are reminded that the judge, or leader, would be smitten upon the cheek. This also has Messianic overtones, of Jesus the ultimate judge, prince and ruler being smitten on our behalf. ...read more

  • Assurance Of Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 15, 2015
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,710 views

    The close relationship between what born again people believe, and how we live.

    ASSURANCE OF FAITH. 1 John 5:1-6. Jesus asked His disciples, ‘Whom do you say that I am?’ Peter replied on behalf of us all: ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God’ (Matthew 16:15-16). John picks up these two elements of Peter’s testimony: Whoever “believes that Jesus is the ...read more

  • Can These Bones Live?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 22, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,559 views

    How long-dead sun-bleached bones revived, and become an exceeding great army.

    THE RESURRECTION OF THE DRY BONES. Ezekiel 37:1-14. When confronted with insurmountable difficulties we often ask: “Can these bones live?” Yet the question originates with God, and is addressed to man. The LORD thereby challenges us within our seemingly impossible situation - whatever it may ...read more

  • The Unjust Steward

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,637 views

    Some thoughts on a challenging text.

    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

  • The Rich Man And Lazarus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,157 views

    Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.

    THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS. Luke 16:19-31. It was against the Pharisees who were lovers of money that Jesus spoke the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. It is a sad story, which shows two men in quite different lifestyles in this life, and the fate of each of them in the life to come. 1. The ...read more

  • A Shoot From The Root

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 29, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,103 views

    The peaceable Kingdom.

    A SHOOT FROM THE ROOT. Isaiah 11:1-10. The reference to “the stem of Jesse” (Isaiah 11:1) sends us back to the origins of Messiah’s dynasty. Not just to David: but to his father, Jesse. David was the youngest son of Jesse, and probably the last person anybody expected to be anointed king (1 ...read more
