  • Entering Rest And Finding Grace

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 27, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,743 views

    Our rest based in the finished work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us hold fast our profession and come boldly to the throne of grace.

    ENTERING REST AND FINDING GRACE. Hebrews 4:1-16. “Let us therefore fear” links this passage with the previous chapter. It has to do with the promise of “entering into His rest”, “lest any of you should seem to come short of it” (Hebrews 4:1). The promise of entering the promised land was ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,542 views

    If we are going to emulate anybody, we must emulate Jesus.

    FOLLOWERS ON THE JOURNEY HOME. Philippians 3:17-4:1. The Apostle Paul had been telling of the forward motion in his own Christian life (Philippians 3:13-14), and encouraged his readers to be like-minded with him (Philippians 3:15-16). The writer even went so far as to set himself up as an ...read more

  • Training And Teamwork

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 6, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,114 views

    Paul's fear was not that he would lose his salvation, but that he might be disqualified from his team!

    TRAINING AND TEAMWORK. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. The Apostle Paul, as every good minister of Christ, was willing to become “all things to all men” (1 Corinthians 9:22), that they might be SAVED by Christ. Now Paul did all this for the gospel. It was an unselfish act, but would have its reward in ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,433 views

    Importunity "UNTIL..."

    A CITY NOT FORSAKEN. Isaiah 62:6-12. I reside just outside the walls of a quaint old English city - so quaint, that there is still a civil servant who holds the office of City-crier. This is a man with a bell and a loud booming bellowing voice, who makes public announcements in public places. ...read more

  • Our Banner Against Fear

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 4, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,488 views

    The LORD is My light, My salvation, and the strength of My life. My strength is in Him!

    OUR BANNER AGAINST FEAR. Psalm 27:1-14. It is a wonderful and profound statement: “The LORD is my light and my salvation.” It is a challenging and liberating truth: “Of whom then shall I be afraid?” Yet we must be careful not to gloss over this personal message, nor to imagine that it is only ...read more

  • All Nations Shall Serve Him

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 6, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,641 views

    As surely as the ordinances of sun, moon and stars remain, there will be a king to sit upon the throne of David. That king is Jesus.

    ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM. Psalm 72:1-7; Psalm 72:10-14. The name of Solomon is associated with Psalm 72, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. Yet it is evident that there were limitations to Solomon’s reign, and the monarchy fell into ...read more

  • Behold, I Am Doing A New Thing

    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,558 views

    Remember not the former things...

    BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING! Isaiah 43:18-25. The first point of application for the prophecies of Isaiah 1-35 is the contemporary Assyrian threat, which is finally resolved in the narrative of Isaiah 36-37. After King Hezekiah’s sickness in Isaiah 38 - and the miraculous turning back of the ...read more

  • The Unity Of Hope

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,369 views

    The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

    THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

  • The Holy Spirit, The Comforter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,509 views

    Another Comforter = another of the same - who re-presents Jesus. He is the One who stands beside us to strengthen and empower.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE COMFORTER. John 14:8-17; John 14:25-27. This reading is an excerpt from the ‘Upper Room Discourse’ (John 13:31-16:33). John 14 is one of the most well-known, and best loved, chapters in the Bible. It is our purpose here to concentrate on just one, or perhaps two, of the ...read more

  • Ye Are Complete In Him

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,808 views

    An exhortation and three warnings frame what might be another Christ hymn.

    YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. Colossians 2:6-19. I. The Apostle Paul is concerned that the Colossians should not be “beguiled with enticing words” - or “deluded with beguiling speech” (Colossians 2:4). Our enemy is subtle as a serpent, and would lure away even ‘the very elect, if that were possible’ ...read more

  • Rebuilding The Temple

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,386 views

    Past glories, present disappointments, and future glory.

    REBUILDING THE TEMPLE. Haggai 2:9. BACKGROUND: King David wanted to build the LORD a house, but the time was not right (1 Chronicles 28:3): David's son would build the LORD's house (2 Samuel 7:12-13). Before his death, David appointed the masons, prepared iron and brass, received the ...read more

    Christ in us, the hope of glory.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part 3. John 17:20-26. In order that His disciples might be sanctified, Jesus gave them the Word (John 17:14). This Word was to be the means of bringing others to the faith (John 17:20). So Jesus prayed for those who would hear the gospel from them - including their ...read more

  • Bearing Up

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,966 views

    The sufferings of Jesus were unique in that He suffered once for all, the just for the unjust. But we are still sometimes called to bear up and endure grief, suffering unjustly. Our model was laid down in the patient pattern of His sufferings.

    BEARING UP. 1 Peter 2:19-25. The Apostle Peter uses his address to domestic servants (1 Peter 2:18) to illustrate the calling of all Christians to share in the sufferings of Christ. “For this is grace,” he quite literally says (1 Peter 2:19): this is acceptable; this is thankworthy - if out of ...read more

  • An Exhortation To Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 15, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,623 views

    An unjust judge, an importunate widow - and the patience of God.

    AN EXHORTATION TO IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Luke 18:1-8. The Pharisees demanded of Jesus when the kingdom of God should come. Jesus’ unexpected response was that it is here already (Luke 17:20-21)! Jesus then turned to His disciples to advise them concerning what He called ‘the days of the Son of ...read more

  • A View From The House Of The Potter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 7, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,191 views

    The surprise here is that the intention of God can be resisted, and if (we) turn He speaks of changing His mind.

    A VIEW FROM THE POTTER'S HOUSE. Jeremiah 18:1-11. On one occasion I was taken to a pottery museum, where one could purchase wares and also see them being made. I had made one or two small pottery items while at school (one of which remained on my mother’s back doorstep long after I had left ...read more
