  • The Fox, The Mother Hen, And The Chicks

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,004 views

    Jesus determines his own path from Herod's jurisdiction to Pilate's.

    THE FOX, THE MOTHER HEN, AND THE CHICKS. Luke 13:31-35. Jesus had been going through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem (Luke 13:22). On the way he had encountered a man who was curious about the number of people who are going to be saved (Luke 13:23). The answer ...read more

  • The Knowledge We Have

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,289 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
     | 10,179 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

  • The Two Advents

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,454 views

    The uncompromising preaching of John. Bearing fruit that proves our repentance. Practical moral guidance. Redirecting Messianic expectations.

    THE TWO ADVENTS. Luke 3:7-18. In the fullness of the times (cf. Galatians 4:4), John came ‘preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins’ (Luke 3:1-3). Being 30 years old, you might expect him to be starting his priesthood in the Temple in Jerusalem (cf. Numbers 4:3), but God ...read more

  • A Pleading

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,858 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
     | 3,663 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
     | 11,238 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

  • God Sent Me Here

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,239 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
     | 6,125 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
     | 6,996 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
     | 6,003 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
     | 8,845 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

  • Amazing Grace For Backsliding Believers

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,610 views

    The LORD also hath put away thy sin - 2 Samuel 12:13.

    AMAZING GRACE FOR BACKSLIDING BELIEVERS. 2 Samuel 11:26-27, 2 Samuel 12:1-15. It is not my purpose at this time to go into all the sordid details of David’s sin with Bathsheba, and his subsequent conspiracy to murder her husband. All this is explicit in chapters 11 and 12 of second Samuel. ...read more

  • Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,592 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

  • The Song Of Elizabeth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,018 views

    Mary's encounter with Elizabeth. The blessedness of Jesus.

    THE SONG OF ELIZABETH. Luke 1:39-45. The angel Gabriel told the virgin Mary that her hitherto barren cousin Elizabeth was pregnant, because “with God, nothing is impossible” (Luke 1:37). Mary's reaction to this news was to leave Nazareth, and to go into the hill country to the city where her ...read more
