  • “ye Canny Change The Law Of Physics”! Jesus Did, And He Did It For Us.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 31, 2014
     | 5,341 views

    “Ye canny change the law of Physics”!!! Here in the story of the loaves and the fishes, Jesus did. Recorded on all four gospels, it is a miracle with more powerful than credited; a miracle that is the basis of our lives being changed.

    This sermon was delivered to the congregation in St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 3rd August 2011: by Gordon McCulloch (A Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: “Ye canny change the law of Physics”!!! Here in the story of ...read more

  • The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,808 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

  • The Christ Hymn

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,438 views

    The Lordship of Jesus, the sufficiency of His Person, and the adequacy of His work; and its implications in our lives.

    THE CHRIST HYMN. Colossians 1:15-29. Paul emphasises the deliverance which Jesus wrought on our behalf (Colossians 1:13), and the fullness of what He has accomplished on the Cross (Colossians 2:10). In Him we have “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14). I. ...read more

  • The Theft Of A Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,884 views

    One man's brave stand against those who would rob him of his inheritance.

    THE THEFT OF A VINEYARD. 1 Kings 21:1-21. Some of us have had the privilege of living in a land where, on paper at least, there was no trespass law. Whether this was because ‘the land belongs to the LORD’ is doubtful - surely no land can share today in the special status of ancient Israel? Yet ...read more

  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Hannah was seeing beyond the circumstance of the birth of Samuel to something of its significance.

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child. Yet it is not only a personal response to one particular situation: it is a response which all of God’s people are ...read more

  • A Common Call

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 9, 2016
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,443 views

    The LORD knew His plans for Jeremiah, and had a particular end in view (Jeremiah 29:11). The same is true for us: both as Christian individuals, and as Church.

    A COMMON CALL. Jeremiah 1:4-10. Throughout history both the Church in general, and churches in particular, have published books of Common Order, Common Worship, and Common Prayer; common lectionaries, common liturgies, and joint statements of faith and mission. This is not necessarily a bad ...read more

  • A Wise Use Of Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,341 views

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

  • A Feast To Remember: Book Of Esther

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,538 views

    An intended genocide against the people of God is thwarted. Behind all the machinations of human deliverers, we see the quiet unassuming hand of providence. Praise the LORD!

    A FEAST TO REMEMBER. Esther 7:1-6; Esther 7:9-10; Esther 9:20-22. Esther is a book of feasts. First there was the extravagance of a six-month long drinking feast for the army and the princes of the 127 provinces (Esther 1:3-4). This was immediately followed by a seven day drinking feast for the ...read more

  • An Unchained Gospel

    Cutting a straight furrow with the Word of God and avoiding catastrophe.

    AN UNCHAINED GOSPEL. 2 Timothy 2:8-15. I. SALVATION WITH ETERNAL GLORY (2 Timothy 2:8-10). Paul asks Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead’ (2 Timothy 2:8). Here in the Greek of 2 Timothy 2:8 the resurrection is mentioned BEFORE the Lord’s nativity into the house of David. ...read more

  • The Centrality Of Scripture

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,033 views

    What Scripture is, who is its Author, and what it is for.

    THE CENTRALITY OF SCRIPTURE. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 1. Three times Paul addresses Timothy with an emphatic “you therefore" (2 Timothy 2:1) or “but you” (2 Timothy 3:10; 2 Timothy 3:14). In the fist instance, this sets Timothy alongside those who refreshed Paul in his imprisonment (2 Timothy ...read more

  • Anointing A Man After The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 14,044 views

    The Lord's criteria for service.

    ANOINTING A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. 1 Samuel 15:34-35; 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Israel had demanded a king, just so that they could be like the other nations. Samuel had protested, but the LORD allowed it. After all, they were not rejecting Samuel: they were rejecting the LORD (1 Samuel 8:4-7). ...read more

  • Grace Sufficient

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 14, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,473 views

    Kept by the grace of God in the midst of afflictions.

    GRACE SUFFICIENT. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10. In the process of composing an argument against some proud boasters who measured themselves by nothing more than one another (2 Corinthians 10:12), Paul allowed himself to engage in some rhetorical boasting which confronted his foes on their own ground (2 ...read more

  • A Metaphor Of A Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,876 views

    You turn us, O LORD, You shine on us. Without You there is no salvation.

    A METAPHOR OF A VINE. Psalm 80:1-2; Psalm 80:8-19. There are two metaphors in this Psalm: that of God as Shepherd (Psalm 80:1-7), and that of Israel as a vine (Psalm 80:8-16). It is upon the second of these that I wish to concentrate our attention. But first we must remind ourselves of the ...read more

  • No Other Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,518 views

    To add anything to the gospel of the grace of God is to deny the efficacy of the Cross of Jesus.

    NO OTHER GOSPEL. Galatians 1:1-12. From the outset, the tone of the Apostle Paul’s letter to “the churches of Galatia” (Galatians 1:2b) is one of disappointment. The opening signature “Paul, an apostle” is immediately followed by a negative assertion - “not from men nor through man”; and a ...read more

    based on 3 ratings

    "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).

    THE GRACE OF GIVING. 2 Corinthians 8:7-15. 1. The example of the Macedonians (2 Corinthians 8:1-5). (1) By the grace of God, the Macedonian churches (Philippi and Thessalonica) had been particularly forward in giving. (2) Their gift was given out of poverty: like that of the ...read more
