  • O How I Love Your Word

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,116 views

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more

  • The Nearness Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 27, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,614 views

    Popular religion speaks about man reaching up to God. However, the reality is that God is reaching down to us. Yes, Christ is stretching out His arms to us upon the Cross.

    THE NEARNESS OF GOD. Isaiah 65:1-9. People sometimes talk about somebody who ‘found God.’ God was never lost; it is people who are lost. When the prodigal son returned to his father, the father said, ‘this my son was lost, but now is found’ (cf. Luke 15:24). Yet, in their distress, ...read more

  • Covenant People In The Dock.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,496 views

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

  • Sheltered By The Most High.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,138 views

    Rather than struggling against His parental protection, quiet faith snuggles in, and takes refuge in the LORD.

    SHELTERED BY THE MOST HIGH. Psalm 91:1-2; Psalm 91:9-16. Psalm 91:1-2. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even ...read more

  • A Spacious Place.

    based on 2 ratings

    He does not allow our foot to slip.

    A SPACIOUS PLACE. Psalm 66:1-12. The superscription to this Psalm is addressed, “To the chief musician. A Song or Psalm.” Whether sung or spoken, it is a call to all nations to “Make a joyful noise” to God (Psalm 66:1). Which God? Well, compare Psalm 100:1, where YHWH, ‘the LORD’ is named. ...read more

  • Open Your Mouth Wide And I Will Fill It.

    The finest of wheat, and honey out of the Rock.

    OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT. Psalm 81:1, Psalm 81:10-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:10. “I am the LORD your God, who ...read more

    Hospitality, and a promise reiterated.

    A VISITATION BY THE LORD. Genesis 18:1-10a. 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 were three men standing by him. As if waking ...read more

    Seek the peace of the place in which God has placed you, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

    A LETTER TO THE EXILES. Jeremiah 29:1, Jeremiah 29:4-7. This letter is addressed from Jeremiah in Jerusalem to the elders, priests, prophets and people in exile in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:1).

    A Lamb slain standing.

    THE BOOK AND THE LAMB. Revelation 5:1-14. 1. “Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll?” (REVELATION 5:2). Until the seals are broken, the whole of redemption history is held in suspense.

  • Come Up Hither.

     | 1,338 views

    Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

    COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

  • The Wilderness And The Cave.

    We are never alone.

    THE WILDERNESS AND THE CAVE. 1 Kings 19:1-15a. I. 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

    Although this is a rewrite of Tom Long’s Sermon, published in 1987, I believe it offers a new perspective. 4th Sunday after Epiphany, series B

    4th Sunday after Epiphany, February 1, 2009 “Series B” Grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and from our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

  • Gifts For The Lord

    Contributed by Robert Dovenmuehle on Dec 25, 2012
     | 5,216 views

    The magi brought extravagant gifts for the baby Jesus even though they could not know what this child would do. We know that Jesus the Christ is God and saves us from our sin. What gifts do we bring to our Lord?

    Today we observe Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, with the visitation of the magi to the baby Jesus. The visit of the magi is probably the most misunderstood part of the Christmas story. The magi are often depicted in nativity scenes as if they arrived for the birth of Jesus, ...read more
