  • Now Faith Is.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,197 views

    The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    NOW FAITH IS. Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 11:8-16. This chapter follows on from the quotation of Habakkuk 2:4 in Hebrews 10:38a: ‘the just shall live by faith’ (see also Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). “Now faith is,” continues Hebrews 11:1. The first thing that we learn about faith is that ...read more

  • Open Your Mouth Wide And I Will Fill It.

    The finest of wheat, and honey out of the Rock.

    OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT. Psalm 81:1, Psalm 81:10-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:10. “I am the LORD your God, who ...read more

  • Create In Me A Clean Heart.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,733 views

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

  • A Visitation By The Lord.

    Hospitality, and a promise reiterated.

    A VISITATION BY THE LORD. Genesis 18:1-10a. This passage is described as an encounter in which “the LORD” (= YHWH, Hebrew) “appeared unto” Abraham when he was having his siesta “in the heat of the day.” When he lifted up his head, suddenly, there were three men standing by him. As if waking ...read more

  • An Indictment Against The Unscrupulous.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,133 views

    The LORD cares for the poor. So should we.

    AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS. Amos 8:4-7. You trample upon the needy and make the poor of the land fail (Amos 8:4; cf. Amos 5:11). Your religious observances are hypocritical, and you cheat your customers with false weights and measures (Amos 8:5). You enslave the poor and needy ...read more

  • Come Let Us Reason Together.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,644 views

    The failure of our efforts and the glory of Christ's work.

    COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10). It is all quite shocking: how dare he expose our comfortable, upright congregation to such strong language? After all, ...read more

  • You Forgave Me.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,526 views

    Unrepentant silence is detrimental to our spiritual well-being.

    YOU FORGAVE ME. Psalm 32:1-7. The beatitudes of Psalm 32:1-2 remind us of Psalm 1:1-2, which describes the righteous man and proclaims him blessed. Yet, since the fall of Adam, no mere man has been born with original righteousness. The second Psalm leads us to the place where we can find this ...read more

  • Preach The Word.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,817 views

    A Solemn Charge to the Man of God.

    PREACH THE WORD. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Paul has just given Timothy the assurance that “ALL Scripture is out-breathed by God and is profitable… that the man of God may be” complete, fully equipped for whatever work God has for us (2 Timothy 3:16-17). “I charge you therefore before God,” ...read more

  • Come Up Hither.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,131 views

    Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

    COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

  • The Nearness Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 27, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,423 views

    Popular religion speaks about man reaching up to God. However, the reality is that God is reaching down to us. Yes, Christ is stretching out His arms to us upon the Cross.

    THE NEARNESS OF GOD. Isaiah 65:1-9. People sometimes talk about somebody who ‘found God.’ God was never lost; it is people who are lost. When the prodigal son returned to his father, the father said, ‘this my son was lost, but now is found’ (cf. Luke 15:24). Yet, in their distress, ...read more

  • Thou Hast Heard Me.

     | 1,090 views

    The turning point in Psalm 22. A prayer breakthrough for David, for Jesus - FOR US.

    THOU HAST HEARD ME. Psalm 22:19-28. Whatever deep sense of desolation rocked David into penning these words, his God-inspired prophetic insight reaches far beyond the limits of his own time and experience to the Cross of Jesus – and beyond. In the midst of His sufferings, and despite ...read more

  • The Succession Of Elisha.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,181 views

    With the dramatic departure of Elijah, his servant Elisha calmly took up the mantle. The Holy Spirit ensures continuity in ministry.

    THE SUCCESSION OF ELISHA. 2 Kings 2:1-2; 2 Kings 2:6-14. 1. The main theme of 2 Kings 2:1-14 is not so much the whirlwind, which is only cursorily mentioned (2 Kings 2:1), but rather the matter of succession. Nicely poised between the end of the reign of one king (2 Kings 1:17-18), and the ...read more

  • The Faithful Comforted.

     | 1,428 views

    The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants.

    THE FAITHFUL COMFORTED. Isaiah 66:10-14. This short passage was originally addressed to the faithful remnant within Israel, a nation within a nation if you will, a nation as it were ‘born in a day’ (cf. Isaiah 66:8). ISAIAH 66:10. These were the faithful who kept hope alive, even through ...read more

  • The Song Of The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,751 views

    A best man's love song at a wedding turns out to be a dirge.

    THE SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Isaiah 5:1-7. The first thing that we may notice about this passage, is Isaiah’s relationship with the LORD (Isaiah 5:1). The prophet is speaking for the remnant of Israel, and calls the LORD his Beloved. This echoes the language of Song of Solomon 2:16, where the ...read more

  • Amazing Grace For Backsliding Believers

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,446 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
