    Gossip the gospel.

    BUSY WAITING. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. 1 Thessalonians 1:1 - “The church of the Thessalonians” came into being as a result of Paul’s second missionary journey. After Paul’s vision (Acts 16:9) Paul, Silas and Timothy were joined by Luke and crossed the Aegean Sea into Europe (Acts 16:10-12). After ...read more

    God is looking for people with proper understand of His love and power!

    My Dad is my king! Judges 13:23 But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time." Do any of you ...read more

     | 9,989 views

    If there is hope for the greatest of sinners, then there is hope for every one of us.

    THE CONVERSION OF THE APOSTLE PAUL. Acts 9:1-22. Saul of Tarsus was a Jew from the city of Tarsus in Syria. This was a Roman garrison city, and as a tent-maker Saul had a good market for his trade. Quite possibly Saul’s father had been a tent-maker too, and Saul is known to have been born into ...read more

  • Jesus Returns To Bethany.

    Mary, Lazarus, and Jesus in the spotlight.

    JESUS RETURNS TO BETHANY. John 12:1-11. As the Passover drew near, Jesus set out once again towards Jerusalem, and stopped awhile in Bethany. This was the place, the writer reminds us, “where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom Jesus raised from the dead” (John 12:1). The ever-busy Martha ...read more

  • A Royal Nativity. Revised.

     | 1,217 views

    The most significant census of all history.

    A ROYAL NATIVITY. Luke 2:1-7. Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that “all the world” should be “registered” (Luke 2:1). Unbeknown to the mighty Emperor, this was going to be the most significant census of all history. After all, even the most powerful of potentates are subservient, whether ...read more

  • The Holy Seed.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,135 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.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,593 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
     | 1,995 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

  • The Blessing Of Participation.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,416 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

  • An Outpouring Of Worship.

    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

  • Christ The Firstfruits.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,419 views

    Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all are made alive.

    CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel at all (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), and we are of all men most vain and miserable (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). Thankfully, we are reminded with a sigh of relief, Christ is risen from the ...read more

  • Glorification And Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,664 views

    The mutual glorification of the Son of man and of God. The love of Jesus as a model for our love for one another.

    GLORIFICATION AND LOVE. John 13:31-35. The inevitable process which would culminate in the self-sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf was reaching its climax. Jesus spoke of the reciprocal “glorification” of both “God” and “the Son of man” (John 13:31-32). In this we have the “glory” of the Cross ...read more

  • Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 337 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.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,133 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 Relentless Rhythms Of Time.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 10, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 546 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
