  • The Love Of Jonathan And The Resentment Of Saul.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,112 views

    Jonathan confirmed the kingship of David by clothing him in the regalia of the Crown Prince; whereas Saul confirmed the kingship of David by putting him in the forefront of the battle.

    THE LOVE OF JONATHAN AND THE RESENTMENT OF SAUL. 1 Samuel 17:57-58, 1 Samuel 18:1-5, 1 Samuel 18:10-16. It was evidently quite difficult for Saul to recognise in the giant slayer the same young man who had been serving at court as his own personal music therapist (1 SAMUEL 17:57-58; cf. 1 Samuel ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,158 views

    The obverse side of the previous conversation: what comes out of the mouth when the heart is full of faith.

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAITH COMES FROM WITHIN. Mark 7:24-37. In the earlier part of this chapter Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within (Mark 7:1-23). It is ...read more

    This word teaches the proper view of weakness in the life of the Christian.

    What? Are You Weak or Something? 2 Corinthians 12:9 February 29, 2004 Intro: A. [When We Are Weak, We Are Strong, Citation: Joni Eareckson Tada, quoted in My Heart Sings.

    The LORD of hosts was with him. 2 Samuel 5:10.

    THE THIRD ANOINTING OF DAVID: KING OVER ALL ISRAEL. 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:9-10. After the LORD had rejected Saul from being king (cf. 1 Samuel 15:23), the LORD sent Samuel to anoint David (cf. 1 Samuel 16:1).

    The gates are open wide, never to close again.

    THE SONG OF THE ASCENSION. Psalm 24. David, the sweet Psalmist of Israel (2 Samuel 23:1) takes us on a journey from the Cross in Psalm 22, under the guidance of the Shepherd’s Crook in Psalm 23, to the Crown in Psalm 24.

  • The Sanctity Of The Sabbath.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 714 views

    Nobody should be required to work more than six days a week.

    THE SANCTITY OF THE SABBATH. Deuteronomy 5:12-15. The Sabbath is to be “kept” and “sanctified” (i.e. set apart for God) - as the LORD our God has commanded (DEUTERONOMY 5:12). It is to be ‘remembered’ (cf. Exodus 20:8) - which implies that it was already known about prior to the giving of the ...read more

  • Trusting God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,216 views

    Our refuge is in the LORD.

    TRUSTING GOD. Psalm 91:9-16. Christians under persecution have testified to the literal truth of Psalm 91:9-10 – but this does not alter the fact that Christians still do suffer. There are times when God does not deliver us FROM things, but rather delivers us IN things (Romans 8:37). The ...read more

  • The Message Of The Cross Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,484 views

    The remedy for division rooted in pride is the proper appreciation for the Cross.

    Introduction: A. I love the story of the two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. 1. One said to the other, “Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?” 2. “I don’t know,” responded the other. “I’ll ask him.” 3. So he climbed ...read more

  • Israel As Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,078 views

    A plea for grace: Turn us again, O God of hosts.

    ISRAEL AS VINE. Psalm 80:7-15. The Psalmist bemoans the plight of the divided tribes of Israel, and boldly expresses his perplexity at God’s dealings with them. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control ...read more

  • Choosing Life For Others

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,554 views

    Faced with the desirability of reaching our destination in Christ, are we willing to tarry a while to help others along the way?

    CHOOSING LIFE FOR OTHERS. Philippians 1:21-26. The Apostle Paul had just referred to his ‘earnest expectation and hope’ that Christ should now be ‘magnified’ in Paul’s body ‘whether by life or by death’ (Philippians 1:20). Suddenly, it seems, Paul found himself in a state of perplexity. “For to ...read more

     | 4,764 views

    Timeless teaching from Jesus as to the true nature and source of sin.

    THE INS AND OUTS OF ‘RELIGIOUS’ PURITY. Mark 7:1-23. Every branch of society has its own traditions: some good, some bad, and some inconsequential. It doesn’t matter whether it is the pomp and ceremony of monarchy, or the ritual ‘pardon’ of a turkey at Thanksgiving. Some traditions are ...read more

  • The Allure Of Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 21, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,031 views

    Wisdom's plaintive plea. The danger of refusal. A promise to those who will hear.

    THE ALLURE OF WISDOM. Proverbs 1:20-33. One day I was out shopping on one of the pedestrianised streets of Norwich, England, when a sudden commotion stopped me in my tracks. The City Crier’s vigorous ringing of his hand-bell, and his cry of ‘Oh Yay! Oh Yay!’ seemed to be right in my ear, and ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 956 views

    All our actions should be regulated by the word of God.

    THE ARK BROUGHT UP TO JERUSALEM. 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 2 Samuel 6:12-19. No sooner had David been anointed king over all Israel, than the Philistines came up against him. David’s instinct back then was to ‘enquire of the LORD’ as to what he should do (cf. 2 Samuel 5:17-19). And David ‘did as the LORD ...read more

  • An Everlasting Throne

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,213 views

    Nevertheless: The faithfulness of God.

    AN EVERLASTING THRONE Psalm 89:27-37. There is a tension in this Psalm, between the LORD’s promise of an everlasting dynasty for the line of David (Psalm 89:3-4; Psalm 89:28), and the complaint of the Psalmist (Psalm 89:38). However, the LORD’s “Nevertheless” (Psalm 89:33) trumps the ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 23, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,878 views

    Speaking as a prophetess, Deborah gave Barak a directive from the LORD.

    A MODEL OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE. Judges 4:1-7. JUDGES 4:1-2. At the very outset of this short passage we discover that war MIGHT come against the LORD’s people as a direct result of their sin. This simple fact is echoed throughout the book of Judges: “And the children of Israel again did evil in ...read more
