  • With Heart And Mind Series

    Contributed by James Hickman on Apr 9, 2016
     | 6,049 views

    An examination of how commitment is a proper response to Christ's work on our behalf.

    With Heart and Mind Romans 12:1-2 What would be the proper response to the discovery that God, the Creator against Whom the crown of his creation—humankind—had rebelled, the Holy One who had declared that all such rebels should endure eternal death, the Righteous Judge who had the ...read more

  • One Day At A Time Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,019 views

    It is important to keep a proper perspective on life, and to remember that time is not in our hands.

    “A Faith That Works: One Day at a Time” James 4:13-17 Charles Schultz has Linus say, “I guess it’s wrong always to be worrying about tomorrow. Maybe we should think only about today.” Charlie Brown responds, “No, that’s giving up. I’m still hoping ...read more

  • A Comprehensive Psalm Of Praise

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,209 views

    God's providence, and our response to it.

    A COMPREHENSIVE PSALM OF PRAISE. Psalm 145:10-18. We read in the New Testament about the whole Creation groaning (Romans 8:22), eagerly awaiting the revelation of the children of God (Romans 8:19). Not only so, but those who have the first-fruits of the Spirit (i.e. Christians) are also ...read more

  • Amazing Grace For Backsliding Believers

    The LORD also hath put away thy sin - 2 Samuel 12:13.

    AMAZING GRACE FOR BACKSLIDING BELIEVERS. 2 Samuel 11:26-12:13. 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. My purpose ...read more

  • Covenant People In The Dock.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,194 views

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

  • Now Faith Is.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,128 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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,590 views

    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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,615 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.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,287 views

    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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,082 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

  • A Letter To The Exiles.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,574 views

    Seek the peace of the place in which God has placed you, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

    A LETTER TO THE EXILES. Jeremiah 29:1, Jeremiah 29:4-7. This letter is addressed from Jeremiah in Jerusalem to the elders, priests, prophets and people in exile in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:1). Jeremiah had already prophesied that the exile would last seventy years (cf. Jeremiah 25:12). Our text ...read more

  • Come Let Us Reason Together.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,518 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
     | 1,440 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

  • Rich And Poor In The Church Of Jesus Christ (Concluded).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 26, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,588 views

    There are no untouchables with God.

    RICH AND POOR IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST (concluded). James 2:1-17. James 2:1. The Greek of this section of the letter of James begins somewhat abruptly: “My brethren, not with partialities!” The impact of the whole sentence is: “Do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of ...read more

  • Ask What I Shall Give Thee

    The gift of wisdom.

    ASK WHAT I SHALL GIVE THEE 1 Kings 2:10-12; 1 Kings 3:3-14 After his sordid affair with Bathsheba - and his engineering of her husband’s murder - David had taken Bathsheba as his wife: but the child of their infidelity had died. Now, upon the death of David, one born within the bounds of ...read more
