  • A Path From Babel To Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,331 views

    Babel speaks of "confusion", and is a byword for all that is wrong with the world. Only Pentecost could bring order.

    A PATH FROM BABEL TO PENTECOST. Genesis 11:1-9. The height of our tallest building does not necessarily impress God: He has to “come down” even to see it (Genesis 11:5). Babel - to the Babylonians - spoke of ‘the gateway to the gods’: and yet man was there found still aspiring to get where he ...read more

  • The Panting Deer

     | 10,340 views

    Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

    THE PANTING DEER. Psalm 42:1-11; Psalm 43:1-5. There is such a thing as speaking truth into raw emotion. Imagine a situation where you are one of the worship team in the Temple at Jerusalem, and you are taken hostage to Samaria (cf. 2 Kings 14:14). On the way your heart identifies with a deer ...read more

  • Christ The End Of The Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,815 views

    Righteousness by law versus righteousness by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    CHRIST THE END OF THE LAW. Romans 10:5-15. Jesus is the fulfilment of all that the law signified, and met all its righteous demands against ourselves. He is the end of the law as a possible means of our becoming righteousness. In Romans 10:4, the Apostle Paul says (literally): ‘For the end of ...read more

  • The Explanation Of Peter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,589 views

    Who was I that I could withstand God?

    PETER’S EXPLANATION. Acts 11:1-18. The turning point in Luke’s Gospel was when Jesus ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). The turning point of Luke’s second volume, the Book of Acts, is found in the breaking down of objections to the inclusion of Gentiles in the church, ...read more

  • Born Again By The Word Of Truth.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 868 views

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

  • All The World Is A Stage

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,763 views

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE. Matthew 6:1-6; Matthew 6:16-21. “All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare reminds us, “and all the men and women merely players.” “And one man,” continues the playwright, “in his time plays many parts…” Jesus’ teaching on almsgiving, prayer and fasting in the Sermon on ...read more

  • Receive Not The Grace Of God In Vain.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 699 views

    Let us always be open to that grace, and to the daily manifestation of it in our own lives, and in the lives of others.

    RECEIVE NOT THE GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN. 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. With the once-and-forever experience of a true conversion to God-in-Christ, there continues to be the on-going necessity of being sanctified. Have we not, at times, failed God, and found it incumbent upon ourselves to repent, and to ...read more

  • The Great Nevertheless.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 389 views

    The testimony of the returning backslider.

    THE GREAT NEVERTHELESS. Psalm 73:23-28. The Psalmist Asaph’s opening proposition is ‘Truly God is good to Israel’ (cf. Psalm 73:1). But then he goes on to admit that he had lost sight of this by allowing himself to become envious at the prosperity of the wicked, contrasting their apparent ...read more

  • Love The Lord Thy God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 735 views

    The LORD is God alone, and will tolerate no rivals.

    LOVE THE LORD THY GOD. Deuteronomy 6:4-9. One of the core texts in the whole Bible is the Shema (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5). “Hear O Israel…” is something of a refrain in Deuteronomy, much as Jesus would later often say, ‘he who has ears to hear, let him hear.’ Here we are told who the LORD is, and ...read more

  • A Place Of Security For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,090 views

    Jesus speaks in no uncertain terms of the status of those who continue in unbelief, and the security of His own sheep.

    A PLACE OF SECURITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. John 10:22-30. Place is perhaps as important as time in this text. It was winter, and Jesus was walking under the shelter of Solomon’s Colonnade in the Temple (John 10:22-23). This was evidently a part of the original Temple which had remained ...read more

  • Grace For The Graceful

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 25, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,316 views

    The grace of God continues for those who are already demonstrating the fruits of grace in their life.

    GRACE FOR THE GRACEFUL. Acts 9:36-43. I am sometimes at pains to emphasise how God’s grace abounds for sinners (cf. Romans 5:20), but in the instance before us we see how God’s grace also continues to abound for a woman who is already a “disciple”. Doctor Luke, the author of Acts, is at ...read more

  • The Plumb-Line Test.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,425 views

    Aligning ourselves with God, as opposed to going against His Word.

    THE PLUMB-LINE TEST. Amos 7:7-17. When I was at High School, we were building a garage. We were taught how to mix mortar, lay bricks, and to check everything was lined up straight with a plumb-line. The work had been begun by those of the Year above mine: but in mid-January 1968 ‘Hurricane ...read more

  • Privilege And Neighbourly Kindness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 23, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 759 views

    He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    PRIVILEGE AND NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS. Luke 10:23-37. 1. Living in an age of Privilege (Luke 10:23-24). Jesus told His disciples, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.” We cannot imagine what the Old Testament saints might have given to share in the privileges of those ...read more

    "He doth send out His voice, and that a mighty voice" (PSALM 68:33).

    O SING PRAISES UNTO THE LORD. Psalm 68:32-35. PSALM 68:32. The closing exhortation of this Psalm calls upon all the kingdoms of the earth to sing praises unto God. PSALM 68:33. He is again referred to under the figure of “Him that rideth upon the heavens” (cf. Psalm 68:4). But now we are told ...read more

  • Abram Steps Out In Faith.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 6, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,633 views

    Leaving all to follow Jesus.

    ABRAM STEPS OUT IN FAITH. Genesis 12:1-4. Our story begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more
