  • The Appearing Of Our Saviour

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,369 views

    The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of the purpose of God for mankind from all eternity.

    THE “APPEARING” OF OUR SAVIOUR. 2 Timothy 1:8-11. The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of God’s purpose for mankind from all eternity. It is the manifestation of the salvation determined from, literally, “before the ages of time” (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; cf. Romans 16:25). No ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,436 views

    Go on holding on: the day of Christ is not here yet.

    THE NEED FOR CHRISTIAN STABILITY. 2 Thessalonians 2. The church of the Thessalonians had heard a rumour concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being gathered together to Him (2 Thessalonians 2:1). There were those who taught that “the day of Christ” was already here (2 ...read more

  • The Last Snows Of Spring

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 13, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,905 views

    The imperative to praise the LORD: the command to commend.

    THE LAST SNOWS OF SPRING. Psalm 147:12-20. There are two different Hebrew words which are both translated “Praise” in Psalm 147:12. The second is the more familiar verb for ‘to praise’ which is echoed within the ‘Hallelujah’ (‘Praise the LORD’) of Psalm 147:1 and Psalm 147:20. The first verb ...read more

  • Precious In His Sight, And Loved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 20, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,289 views

    The in-gathering of Israel, and of the nations.

    PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT, AND LOVED. Isaiah 43:1-7. This beautiful poem is a love letter. It is from the LORD, who created the world (Isaiah 40:26), and who directs the affairs of nations (Isaiah 40:22-23). It is from the One who created Jacob, and formed the nation of Israel (Isaiah 43:1). The ...read more

  • Arise, Shine, Your Light Is Come

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 13 ratings
     | 15,598 views

    Our job is to reflect His light.

    ARISE, SHINE, YOUR LIGHT IS COME. Isaiah 60:1-6. Zion was enveloped in a thick spiritual darkness on account of her sins (Isaiah 59:9-12). It was a darkness like the deepest discouragements and depression of the human heart: a darkness that could be felt (Exodus 10:21). It was a darkness that ...read more

  • All The World Is A Stage

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,870 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

  • Arise! Get Up! Come Forth!

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 30, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,846 views

    The incarnation is all about what Jesus came to do.

    ARISE! GET UP! COME FORTH! John 5:1-9; John 5:21-30. The miracle [literally 'sign' (John 4:54)] of the healing of the boy at Capernaum is immediately followed in John’s account with another healing, this time at an unspecified feast in Jerusalem (John 5:1-9). THE NEED (John 5:1-5). A ...read more

  • Universal Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,929 views

    We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

    UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

  • The Good Deposit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,875 views

    1. "Keep the Committed Deposit" of the gospel; 2. In a verse which has become so familiar in translation that we almost forget to check the Greek language which lies behind it, we discover that only "He is able to Keep my Committed Deposit."

    THE GOOD DEPOSIT. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. At the end of his previous letter, Paul encouraged Timothy to ‘KEEP’ - or guard - the ‘COMMITTED DEPOSIT’ (1 Timothy 6:20). In the second letter, Paul reiterates this instruction in much the same words: “the good DEPOSIT COMMITTED … KEEP” (2 Timothy 1:14). ...read more

  • Christ The End Of The Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,869 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

  • A Path From Babel To Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,381 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

  • Amazing Faith Of A Centurion

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 9, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,200 views

    I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Luke 7:9).

    AMAZING FAITH OF A CENTURION. Luke 7:1-10. It is interesting to note that, in this busy little cameo, two of the main characters remain offstage throughout. In Luke’s record, the incident takes place immediately after the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). Jesus had said all He was going to say ...read more

  • Warnings And Promises For Evil Days

    Times and signs.

    WARNINGS & PROMISES FOR EVIL DAYS. Luke 21:5-19. Every so often we are confronted with all the uncertainty that arises from the dawn of what seem to be evil days. One hundred years ago people wondered if the fierce battles of World War One represented the Apocalyptic Armageddon. Then came ...read more

  • The Plumb-Line Test.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,476 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

  • Following Hard After God, Even In The Midst Of Trouble.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,560 views

    His right hand upholds us.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE. Psalm 63:1-11. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God. It was as if David was saying, ‘I know thee, but would know thee more.’ The Psalmist is not just on the fringes of faith, like the ...read more
