  • The Feast Of Weeks.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 330 views

    When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

    THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

    Honour and the Fear of God.

    LIVING BEFORE GOD IN THE WORLD. 1 Peter 2:11-17. Peter addresses his readers as “Beloved,” and encourages us “as strangers and pilgrims” to “abstain from fleshly lusts (or desires) which war against the soul” (1 PETER 2:11). The Apostle implores us to keep our conduct “honest” amongst the ...read more

    "If the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory" (2 CORINTHIANS 3:9).

    THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL. 2 Corinthians 3:4-9. Paul is confident that the Corinthians ARE his letters of recommendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:2). This trust towards God is mediated through Christ Himself (2 CORINTHIANS 3:4). There is a denial of self-sufficiency, and an acknowledgement of the ...read more

    The deaf hear, and the dumb speak. Mark 7:37.

    HE HAS DONE ALL THINGS WELL. Mark 7:31-37. Jesus was heading towards the Sea of Galilee (Mark 7:31). The next people He met were the friends of a deaf man who had such an impediment in his speech that it sounded like his tongue was tied up in knots. They brought him to Jesus, begging that ...read more

    The immutability of the Promise, and the purpose of the Law.

    THE PROMISE AND THE LAW. Galatians 3:16-22. 1. The Changeless Promise. Galatians 3:16-18. In GALATIANS 3:16, the Apostle Paul demonstrates from Scripture that the promises that the LORD made to Abraham are fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul makes much of the fact that the word “Seed” is ...read more

  • Saul Proclaimed King.

     | 380 views

    In wanting a king at all, Israel was rejecting the LORD’s kingship. But the LORD allowed it.

    SAUL PROCLAIMED KING. 1 Samuel 10:17-24. Saul and his servant had set out from their home with no greater commission than to find his father’s lost donkeys (cf. 1 Samuel 9:3). As a last resort, the servant suggested that they seek out the prophet Samuel: ‘peradventure he can shew us our way that ...read more

  • The Powers That Be.

    Subjection to rulers.

    THE POWERS THAT BE. Romans 13:1-7. “The powers that be” to whom “every soul” is to be “subject” (ROMANS 13:1) are called “rulers” in ROMANS 13:3 (translated as ‘magistrates’ in Luke 12:11), “who do not bear the sword in vain” (ROMANS 13:4). We are to “be subject unto” them because “the powers ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 425 views

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

  • Towards Sanctification.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 331 views

    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; that they may know His covenant (Psalm 25:14).

    THE SECRET OF THE LORD. Psalm 25:14-22. “The secret of the LORD” (PSALM 25:14a). This speaks of the friendship, the intimate fellowship that the believer has with the LORD. It is as if we were seated upon our couch ‘in heavenly places in Christ Jesus’ (cf. Ephesians 2:6), listening to Him tell ...read more

    A solemn feast day.

    A SUMMONS TO RESOUNDING PRAISE. Psalm 81:1-4. PSALM 81:1. There may be a time for quiet contemplative worship, but this is not it. It is a time of loudness, a time of noise. It is a time of fulness of joy. We are not called to be perfect in our singing, but to “Sing aloud” and “make a joyful ...read more

    How long-dead sun-bleached bones revive, and become an exceeding great army.

    THAT THESE BONES MIGHT LIVE. Ezekiel 37:1-10. The valley into which Ezekiel was transported “in the Spirit of the LORD” was “full” of bones (EZEKIEL 37:1).

    "I know that my redeemer liveth" (Job 19:25).

    THE HEIGHT OF JOB’S FAITH. Job 19:21-27. It is bad enough when God appears to afflict us, but it becomes all but unbearable when those who are our supposed ‘friends’ seem to use this as an occasion to reproach us (cf. Job 19:2-3). JOB 19:21-22. “Have pity upon me, O ye my friends,” pleads Job. ...read more

    "God in His holy habitation" (PSALM 68:5).

    RISE UP, LORD. Psalm 68:1-6. PSALM 68:1.

Numbers 10:35). Before we proceed with any project, we should ...read more
