  • Paul Plays The Fool.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 551 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 417 views

    An illustration of what it means to be adopted into the family of God.

    THE ADOPTION OF MEPHIBOSHETH. 2 Samuel 9:6-13. David the son of Jesse, and Jonathan the son of king Saul, were the best of friends. When they parted ways they entered into a covenant in which David vowed to show kindness to Jonathan’s family “for ever” (cf. 1 Samuel 20:14-16). After David became ...read more

  • Just Passing Through.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 346 views

    Living in a world that is not our home.

    JUST PASSING THROUGH. Psalm 120:1-7. The Psalmist’s testimony is, “In my distress, I cried unto the LORD" (PSALM 120:1a). Prayer is our only recourse in time of trouble (cf. John 16:23-24). It is sure to gain a response from the LORD: “and He heard me” (PSALM 120:1b; cf. Psalm 18:6; Psalm ...read more

  • Love Without Hypocrisy.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 2, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,900 views

    Agape love in action.

    LOVE WITHOUT HYPOCRISY. Romans 12:9-16b. In Greek, the first clause of Romans 12:9 has no verb, so could literally be rendered “love without hypocrisy” or “love unfeigned”. So far in Romans, ‘agape’ has spoken of the love of God toward us (cf. Romans 5:5; Romans 5:8; Romans 8:35; Romans 8:39). ...read more

  • Christ Our Passover Is Sacrificed For Us.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,278 views

    A perpetual feast to the LORD.

    CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. The context for this passage is one of church discipline (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:1). The case in point concerns an incestuous affair which, far from addressing, the church seems to have been ‘puffed up’ about (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:2). ...read more

  • When Israel Went Out Of Egypt.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,116 views

    A defiant celebration of God's sovereign power.

    WHEN ISRAEL WENT OUT OF EGYPT. Psalm 114:1-8. The exuberance of this Psalm is immediately evident. It is a recollection of Israel’s redemption story, beginning from when the descendants of Jacob made their exodus from Egypt. It is the prelude to the founding of what Stephen, the first Christian ...read more

  • A Camel That Passed Through The Eye Of A Needle. Abridged.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,455 views

    Jesus seeks and saves the lost.

    A CAMEL THAT PASSED THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE. Abridged. Luke 19:1-10. We were reading recently about a certain ruler who, perhaps recognizing that money is not everything, asked Jesus what he must ‘do’ to inherit eternal life. The young man had an extremely high view of his own heart, but ...read more

  • Rolling Away The Reproach

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,405 views

    The use of sacraments at a turning point in the Church's life.

    ROLLING AWAY THE REPROACH. Joshua 5:1-12. The exodus generation of Israel had not been circumcising their sons during the forty years of their wilderness wanderings (Joshua 5:5). So after the death of that whole generation (Joshua 5:4), and even on the threshold of the land which the LORD ...read more

    Remembering the words of Jesus.

    A MORNING TO REMEMBER. Luke 24:1-12. Some women had followed Joseph of Arimathea, and they took note of the tomb in which Joseph had laid the dead body of Jesus. The Sabbath was coming on, but they had time to prepare aromatics and spices before they ‘remained quiet according to the ...read more

  • Growing Better In Bad Times

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 1, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,093 views

    No doubt the young Samuel, like the Child Jesus, ‘became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him’ (cf. Luke 2:40).

    GROWING BETTER IN BAD TIMES. 1 Samuel 2:18-20; 1 Samuel 2:26. The children of Israel forsook the LORD, and the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He visited them with temporal judgments (Judges 2:13-15). ‘Nevertheless,’ (O, precious word!) the LORD raised up judges, or ‘saviours’ ...read more

  • The Grace Of Submission.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 431 views

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

  • The Word Of Faith That We Proclaim.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,933 views

    If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God Him raised from the dead, you shall be saved.

    THE WORD OF FAITH THAT WE PROCLAIM. Romans 10:8-13. For Moses, the word was ‘nigh thee, in your mouth and in your heart, THAT YOU MAY DO IT’ (Deuteronomy 30:14). The Apostle Paul makes a new application of this as “the word of FAITH which we proclaim” (Romans 10:8). According to Paul, the object ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 181 views

    Against a background of false teachers, and hypocritical hearers who will not endure sound teaching, Paul exhorted Timothy to urgently preach the word.

    SCRIPTURE AND MINISTRY. 2 Timothy 3:14-17, 2 Timothy 4:1-5. I). THE CENTRALITY OF SCRIPTURE. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 1. Three times Paul addresses Timothy with an emphatic “you therefore" (2 Timothy 2:1) or “but you” (2 Timothy 3:10; 2 Timothy 3:14). In the first instance, this sets Timothy ...read more

  • Our Boast In God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 22, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 116 views

    These verses form the basis for an appeal to God for deliverance.

    OUR BOAST IN GOD. Psalm 44:1-8. It is well if we base our appeals and cries for help to God not upon ourselves (our own good name, what we imagine we have achieved, and what we have done or not done); but rather upon His good name (PSALM 44:5; PSALM 44:8), what He has done in the past (cf. 1 ...read more

     | 6,811 views

    Jewelers grade a diamond based on six "C's." In this sermon, we will look at the six C's of Romans 8:28

    [I am grateful to the teaching of Skip Heitzig at Calvary Church Albuquerque. His sermon, "The Steady Hand of a Caring God" provides the outline and structure of this sermon.] I promise I didn’t plan this. We’ve been in Romans for over eight months now, taking it almost verse by verse. ...read more
