  • A Pleading

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,870 views

    We have left a God-shape hole in our lives and try to fill it with other things.

    A PLEADING. Jeremiah 2:4-13. In this passage the LORD yet again makes His complaint against the whole house of Israel (Jeremiah 2:4). As we read it, we begin to realise that this is also His indictment against the whole of mankind, and against the visible Church in particular. “What ...read more

  • The Tender Mercy Of A Jealous God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,680 views

    Let us pray for the whole state of the church of Christ.

    THE TENDER MERCY OF A JEALOUS GOD. Psalm 79:1-9. Despite what our first impression may have been, this is not a general lament about all the ills of the world but rather a particular lament about something afflicting the people of God. And even then, it is not just about ‘us’ but more so ...read more

  • The Years That The Locust Has Eaten

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 31, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,275 views

    A promise of restoration to the repentant. A prophecy of the outpouring of the Spirit. A warning of the judgment to come.

    THE YEARS THAT THE LOCUST HAS EATEN. Joel 2:23-32. A very old elder once said to me that his only regret was “the years that the locust has eaten” (Joel 2:25). However, there is no point in bemoaning what may have been, but rather our eyes should be on the here and now, and in the prospects ...read more

  • Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,613 views

    Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

    FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

  • God Sent Me Here

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,265 views

    When Joseph finally met his brothers again, he was able to say that, what THEY had meant for evil, God had meant for good.

    GOD SENT ME HERE. Genesis 45:1-15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf. Genesis 37:3), Joseph was sold by his brethren for twenty pieces of silver (Genesis 37:28). Favoured by His Father (Luke 3:22), Jesus ‘came unto His own, and His own ...read more

  • The Act Of Love Of A Forgiven Woman, And The Inclusivity Of Jesus' Ministry.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,148 views

    Nurturing our relationship with Jesus is an essential part of our Christian formation.

    1. A FORGIVEN WOMAN’S ACT OF LOVE. Luke 7:36-50. This incident ties in with two earlier episodes, illustrating Jesus’ conquest over sickness (Luke 7:1-10), death (Luke 7:11-17) - and now sin. The unnamed woman is identified as “a sinner” (Luke 7:37; Luke 7:39; Luke 7:47). This tells us nothing ...read more

  • Table Etiquette In The Kingdom Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 6, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,009 views

    This is God's work, and the order of priority in God's kingdom.

    TABLE ETIQUETTE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Luke 14:1; Luke 14:7-14. One Sabbath, one of the chief Pharisees gave Jesus the courtesy of a dinner invitation. Jesus courteously accepted. Somewhat discourteously, the Pharisees were keeping their eye on Jesus (Luke 14:1). It was on this occasion, as ...read more

  • Yet I Will Not Make A Full End

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 10, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,022 views

    A text of hope in the context of God's determination against His people.

    “YET I WILL NOT MAKE A FULL END”. Jeremiah 4:11-12; Jeremiah 4:22-28. Many of our readings in Jeremiah seem to, like Lamentations, open out on to a vista of total devastation and despair. However, depending on what translation one uses, there is hope: “yet I will NOT make a full end” (Jeremiah ...read more

  • The God Who Weeps

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 11, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,864 views

    Our resources have run out, and there is no healing balm for the malady of sin apart from the blood of Jesus.

    THE GOD WHO WEEPS. Jeremiah 8:18-22; Jeremiah 9:1. We are accustomed to referring to Jeremiah as the ‘weeping prophet’ – and rightly so. However, Jeremiah’s tears do not just speak to us about the prophet, but also about the people – and mainly about God. In that sense, we might refer to the ...read more

  • A Second Chance For The Human Race

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 22, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,034 views

    Adam, son of God, failed in the Garden. Israel, son of God, rebelled in the wilderness. Jesus the Son of God, on behalf of us all, won the battle against temptation in the wilderness. Believers in Jesus are also called sons of God, so how must we live?

    A SECOND CHANCE FOR THE HUMAN RACE. Luke 4:1-13. Man was always going to get a second chance after the Fall of Adam. God made a promise concerning the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), and ‘that seed was Christ’ (cf. Galatians 3:16; Galatians 3:29). We see in the temptation of Jesus a new Adam ...read more

  • The Knowledge We Have

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,309 views

    Paul's answer to Gnostic tendencies in the Church.

    THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE. Colossians 1:1-14. The Apostle Paul was in prison (Colossians 4:10; Colossians 4:18), probably in Rome. We can imagine that any bearer of news of the churches, and of the progress of the gospel, was a welcome visitor. Such was Epaphras a “fellow-servant, who is for you a ...read more

  • The Contest On Mount Carmel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,221 views

    Prevarication is not an option!

    THE CONTEST ON MOUNT CARMEL. 1 Kings 18:20-39. The prophet Elijah is nothing if not bold in his confrontation with King Ahab. The king accused Elijah of being “he that troubles Israel” (1 Kings 18:17). The prophet’s retort was rather to accuse Ahab and his family of troubling Israel, as they had ...read more

  • Be Ye Reconciled To God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 9, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,288 views

    The once-and-forever experience of true conversion, and the on-going necessity of being sanctified.

    BE YE RECONCILED TO GOD. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-2. As an ambassador for Christ, Paul was pleading with the Corinthians - on behalf of Christ - that they go on being reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20). We may feel that this is unnecessary: if we are ‘called out ones’ ...read more

  • The Song Of The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,992 views

    A best man's love song at a wedding turns out to be a dirge.

    THE SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Isaiah 5:1-7. The first thing that we may notice about this passage, is Isaiah’s relationship with the LORD (Isaiah 5:1). The prophet is speaking for the remnant of Israel, and calls the LORD his Beloved. This echoes the language of Song of Solomon 2:16, where the ...read more

  • What Must We Do To Be Saved?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,482 views

    What to believe about Jesus for salvation, versus a wrong kind of belief. What we are saved from, and what we are saved to.

    WHAT MUST WE DO TO BE SAVED? Acts 16:25-34. The Apostle Paul and his companion Silas had responded to the call of God to take the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to Macedonia. The first recorded convert to Christianity in Europe was a woman named Lydia, whose heart the Lord opened to give heed ...read more
