  • The Call Of Elisha.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,015 views

    No looking back.

    THE CALL OF ELISHA. (1 Kings 19:15-16; 1 Kings 19:19-21). The LORD’s practical response to His despondent servant Elijah was to call him back to duty, and to give him the responsibility for the anointing of: 1. A foreign tyrant (1 Kings 19:15; 2 Kings 8:11-13); 2. A new dynasty (1 Kings ...read more

  • Who Is So Great As Our God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,666 views

    1-2. Importunate prayer. 11-15. Meditating upon the works and wonders God. 16-20. Remembering our salvation history.

    WHO IS SO GREAT AS OUR GOD? Psalm 77:1-2, Psalm 77:11-20. PSALM 77:1. “I cried unto God with my voice.” This sounds like one persistent prolonged or repeated cry. There is an intensity about it that cannot prevent it becoming vocalised, ‘out loud’ (as we say). The mouth utters what the heart is ...read more

  • Luke 4:19.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,074 views

    Bible reading: Luke 4:14-21.

    LUKE 4:19. Bible Reading: Luke 4:14-21. “To preach the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:19). The expression, “the acceptable year of the Lord” includes everything in the previous verse: that is, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the ...read more

  • The Holy Seed.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,258 views

    The holy seed is Jesus, and those united to Him.

    THE HOLY SEED. Isaiah 6:9-13. The mission of Isaiah was to go to a people who were proudly short-sighted, stubbornly deaf, and wilfully ignorant of the word of God (Isaiah 6:9; cf. Matthew 13:13-15). The prophet’s message was to be one which confirmed them in their preferred blindness, ...read more

  • The Nature Of The Resurrection Body.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 23, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,719 views

    Continuity and discontinuity between the natural and the spiritual.

    THE NATURE OF THE RESURRECTION BODY. 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50. We can imagine one of Paul’s hecklers in Corinth posing the question, “How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?” (1 Corinthians 15:35). This does not sound like an inquiry of faith, but ...read more

  • Reconciliation, And Grace To Follow.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,098 views

    Our reconciliation with God is made possible by the grace of God through the work of Christ. Having been reconciled, we are made the righteousness of God in Him. We are enabled, by the same grace of God, to follow God in the way of righteousness.

    RECONCILIATION, AND GRACE TO FOLLOW. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. 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 ...read more

  • Cutting A Covenant With The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,206 views

    Faith in the certainty of His promises, despite all appearances to the contrary.

    CUTTING A COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Genesis 15:1-12, Genesis 15:17-18. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden ...read more

  • The Blessing Of Participation.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,509 views

    Celebrating the Passover in the Promised Land.

    THE BLESSING OF PARTICIPATION. Joshua 5:9-12. The LORD spoke metaphorically of having “rolled away the reproach of Egypt” (Joshua 5:9). Egypt stands for the place of captivity. In like manner Jesus, by taking our reproaches upon Himself (cf. Psalm 69:9), sets us free from the captivity of sin ...read more

  • God Is Doing A New Thing.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,469 views

    From past mercies to present help and future salvation.

    GOD IS DOING A NEW THING. Isaiah 43:16-21. Isaiah reminds us of how the Sovereign LORD had opened the Red Sea, and made a path through the Jordan (Isaiah 43:16-17). Yet the Prophet is only looking back in order to look forward: “remember not” the former things - don’t yearn for what we might ...read more

  • An Outpouring Of Worship.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,184 views

    Mary at the feet of Jesus.

    AN OUTPOURING OF WORSHIP. John 12:1-8. It was six days before the Passover, and the family in Bethany made our Lord a supper. The resurrected Lazarus was there, and Martha was serving. In a singular act of devotion, Mary took a whole bottle of very expensive Indian perfume and lavished it upon ...read more

  • Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 453 views

    Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

    PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

  • Seek The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 12, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,293 views

    Responding to the call of God.

    SEEK THE LORD. Isaiah 55:1-9. The Bible is full of wonderful gracious invitations. ISAIAH 55:1 begins with a call to the thirsty to come to the waters. This is in order to quench, not a physical thirst, but a spiritual thirst. Those who seek to be made righteous through the Lord Jesus Christ ...read more

  • The Triumph Of The Kingdom Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 30, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 673 views

    A fearsome dream, with a happy conclusion for the "people" known as "the saints of the most High" (cf. Daniel 7:27).

    THE TRIUMPH OF CHRIST’S KINGDOM. Daniel 7:1-3, Daniel 7:15-18. Daniel has already reported the last day of Belshazzar, the last king of Babylon (cf. Daniel 5:30). With the beginning of chapter 7, the book changes from narrative to apocalyptic writing, and there is an overlap here as the dating ...read more

  • The Relentless Rhythms Of Time.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 10, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 691 views

    A time for everything.

    THE RELENTLESS RHYTHMS OF TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:1-13. ‘Turn, turn, turn’ is the refrain of the old pop song based upon these verses. However, time is not circular, but linear: it is more like a river relentlessly, but always, running downstream. It is our subjective experience of time that gives ...read more

  • Imprecations In Context.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 386 views

    To attack God's people is to attack the LORD Himself!

    IMPRECATIONS IN CONTEXT. Psalm 83:1-2, Psalm 83:13-18. Today’s Psalm begins, “Keep not silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still O God” (PSALM 83:1). As if He ever would, when to attack God’s people is to attack the LORD Himself! ‘Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence,’ ...read more
