  • The Grace Of God - Sermon For Proper 20 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Sep 18, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,073 views

    How does Gods grace affect our lives, and are we willing to accept it, and turn away from what the world regards as important.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. When I was a child I hated P.E. at school, whenever we were going to play a team sport, I always knew that the two captains would be the same two athletic boys, and that I would always be the one who wasn’t picked, but just ended up on the ...read more

  • Unity Of The Church - Sermon For Proper 16 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 19, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,186 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus involved in situations where a number of profound questions are asked. Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more

  • The Rich Man And Lazarus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,224 views

    Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.

    THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS. Luke 16:19-31. It was against the Pharisees who were lovers of money that Jesus spoke the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. It is a sad story, which shows two men in quite different lifestyles in this life, and the fate of each of them in the life to come. 1. The ...read more

  • Beware Of Covetousness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 22, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,523 views

    Hoarding wealth versus Rich toward God.

    BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS. Luke 12:13-21. Sometimes people used to approach a Rabbi to settle disputes, so the petitioner in this account may not have realized he was doing anything wrong when he approached Jesus with a request concerning the inheritance left by his father (Luke 12:13). We are not ...read more

  • A New Covenant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,342 views

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

  • Loosed! Stand Up And Praise God

    For eighteen long years this woman had struggled with her infirmity. What better day to heal her than the Sabbath?

    LOOSED! STAND UP AND PRAISE GOD. Luke 13:10-17. In this remarkable little incident we find Jesus teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath (Luke 13:10). Perhaps one of the first things we notice is just how obedient the Lord was to the laws and customs of His time. Should not we also be ...read more

    Year C. The Holy Trinity Sunday June 10th, 2001 Romans 5: 1-5

    Year C. The Holy Trinity Sunday June 10th, 2001 Romans 5: 1-5 Title: “Redemptive suffering.” Paul has been making the case for his doctrine of “justification by faith.” Thus far it has been both a theological and a legal argument and rather technical. Now, he puts the same ...read more

  • The Master Who Serves

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 31, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,608 views

    Living for the kingdom. Waiting, listening, watching for Jesus' return.

    THE MASTER WHO SERVES. Luke 12:32-40. Jesus has reassured His disciples that they are of more value to God than many sparrows, and that the very hairs of their head are numbered (Luke 12:6-7). He has also taught us, through the parable of the rich fool, to value the things of God more than the ...read more

    Sing praises and testify.

    THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS OF THE LORD. Psalm 9:9-20. This Psalm opens as a song of praise and rejoicing in the LORD (Psalm 9:1-2). The Psalmist is particularly thankful for the LORD’s support in the face of wicked enemies (Psalm 9:3-5). The LORD ‘sits in the throne judging right’ (Psalm 9:4); ...read more

  • From Joseph To Moses And Aaron.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 363 views

    The LORD our God was the One who called for the famine, but He had already sent Joseph ahead of Israel into Egypt. He turned the heart of the Egyptians to hate His people, but sent Moses and Aaron to bring them out of Egypt. He shows Himself Sovereign over all things.

    FROM JOSEPH TO MOSES AND AARON. Psalm 105:16-26. 1. The Sending of Joseph. Psalm 105:16-22. PSALM 105:16. It is the LORD our God who “called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread.” Bread, or any staple, is aptly called ‘the staff of life’ – for without his staff man ...read more

  • The Theft Of A Vineyard

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,324 views

    One man's brave stand against those who would rob him of his inheritance.

    THE THEFT OF A VINEYARD. 1 Kings 21:1-21. Some of us have had the privilege of living in a land where, on paper at least, there was no trespass law. Whether this was because ‘the land belongs to the LORD’ is doubtful - surely no land can share today in the special status of ancient Israel? Yet ...read more

  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,886 views

    Hannah was seeing beyond the circumstance of the birth of Samuel to something of its significance.

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child. Yet it is not only a personal response to one particular situation: it is a response which all of God’s people are ...read more

  • Refocusing Our Commitment To Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,391 views

    The Guest is more important than the hospitality.

    REFOCUSING OUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS. Luke 10:38-42. Luke has arranged his material thematically (Luke 1:3), and it is interesting here to notice that this little but highly significant domestic incident immediately follows the parable of ‘the neighbourly kindness of the hated Samaritan’ (as I ...read more
