    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,532 views

    I the LORD do all these things

    THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. Isaiah 45:1-7. This chapter opens with the astonishing reference to Cyrus, King of Persia, as the LORD’s “anointed” - literally, “messiah” (Isaiah 45:1). It is designed to shock us with the fact that the LORD not only uses Gentiles to fulfil His ...read more

    The danger of worship without mercy.

    JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BETTER THAN RITUALS. Amos 5:18-24. Historically, Israel had split into two kingdoms shortly after the death of king David’s son, king Solomon. The ten tribes of the north rejected both the dynasty of David, and the worship of the Jerusalem temple, and set up their ...read more

    A prince from the house of David.

    THE DAVIDIC SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Ezekiel 34:20-24. 1. The Good Shepherd (Ezekiel 34:11-16). First, we see the Good Shepherd as the one who seeks out the lost sheep, Ezekiel 34:11. ‘If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,’ teaches Jesus, ‘does he not go to the ...read more

    The LORD's gracious compassion. Moses commissioned by the LORD.

    THE CALL OF MOSES. Part Two. Exodus 3:7-15. EXODUS 3:7. The second thing that the LORD said was, I have surely “seen” the affliction of my people which are in Egypt; I have “heard” their cry; for I “know” their sorrows. This echoes the end of the previous chapter: Israel ‘sighed’ by reason of ...read more

  • Complaint And Restoration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,261 views

    God’s purposes are in no way thwarted by persecution, but rather, somewhat ironically, helped forward by the sufferers’ steadfastness.

    COMPLAINT AND RESTORATION. Jeremiah 15:15-21. This is one of the laments of Jeremiah. There is a complaint here (Jeremiah 15:15-18), and also a reply from the LORD (Jeremiah 15:19-21). JEREMIAH 15:15. The prophet is bold in his approach: “O LORD, thou knowest.” The LORD does know all our ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,055 views

    I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live.

    THE RECOMMISSIONING OF EZEKIEL. Ezekiel 33:7-11. EZEKIEL 33:7. The prophet Ezekiel had first been commissioned by the LORD to be a “a watchman” for “the house of Israel” back in Ezekiel 3:17. This is now a renewal of that commission. Again the warning comes from the LORD. EZEKIEL 33:8. As a ...read more

  • The Petulance Of Jonah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,292 views

    God, for His part, cares for the whole of His creation.

    THE PETULANCE OF JONAH. Jonah 3:10, Jonah 4:1-11. The LORD is merciful to those who repent (JONAH 3:10; cf. Psalm 130:3-4). When Jonah at last arrived in Nineveh after his circuitous journey, his message was simple: ‘Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown’ (cf. Jonah 3:4). ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,041 views

    Walls of water in the sea, and streams and rivers of water in the wilderness. A cloud by day, and a light of fire by night.

    THE MARVELLOUS WONDERS OF THE LORD. Psalm 78:1-4, Psalm 78:12-16. Psalm 78 is entitled a “Maschil” of Asaph, thereby signifying an INSTRUCTION. It is one of the longest Psalms in the Book, not only outlining a history of Israel, but encouraging us to LEARN from this history (cf. Psalm 78:8). ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,991 views

    Way points to Torah, but Torah points to Christ.

    SHOW ME THY WAYS, O LORD. Psalm 25:1-9. This is a prayer for all seasons. A prayer of trust amid enemies (Psalm 25:2-3). A prayer for guidance in the perplexities of life (Psalm 25:4-5). It is a prayer in celebration of God’s mercy and loving-kindness (Psalm 25:6). A prayer made in the ...read more

  • Let Us Sing Unto The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,059 views

    This is serious worship, with its focus upon who the LORD is (the Rock), and who He is to us (the rock of our salvation).

    LET US SING UNTO THE LORD. Psalm 95:1-7a. In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote. So when the praise-leader sang “O Come let us sing unto the LORD” (Psalm 95:1), the congregation knew to join in the singing of Psalm 95. ...read more

  • About Formalism In Worship.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 31, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,183 views

    It is not good when our worship is nothing more than a formality, rather than an engagement with the One whom we are supposedly worshipping.

    ABOUT FORMALISM IN WORSHIP. Psalm 50:7-15. Taken as a whole, the content of this Psalm appears as a court case, with El Elohim Yahweh, “the Mighty God the LORD” (cf. Psalm 50:1) presiding as Judge (cf. Psalm 50:6) - and God’s covenant people in the dock (cf. Psalm 50:5). Here the ...read more

  • The Light Of God's Word.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 26, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,621 views

    God has written His word upon our hearts, and inclines our wills to keeping it.

    THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD. Psalm 119:105-112. PSALM 119:105. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” The word of God, the Bible, is totally reliable (cf. Hebrews 4:12). The Psalmist unreservedly relies upon it. Furthermore, Jesus is the Word (cf. John 1:1), and He is the ...read more
