    Mortal man seeks divine assurance.

    A TRANSITORY LIFE AND A BETTER PROSPECT. Psalm 90:1-6, Psalm 90:13-17. 1. A Transitory Life. Psalm 90:1. It is remarkable that the children of Israel survived 400 years in Egypt, and for some of that time under unspeakable oppression. Yet despite their hard labour and sorrow, the LORD had been ...read more

    Shades of opinion in the Christian church. We shall all appear before Christ.

    BROTHERS TOGETHER. Romans 14:1-12. This passage has much to say about receiving one another in the Lord. Paul defines “the weak in the faith” (Romans 14:1) as those who have scruples about what they eat (Romans 14:2). Do not “despise” them, warns Paul; but he also warns the weak not to ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,137 views

    Walls of water in the sea, and streams and rivers of water in the wilderness. A cloud by day, and a light of fire by night.

    THE MARVELLOUS WONDERS OF THE LORD. Psalm 78:1-4, Psalm 78:12-16. Psalm 78 is entitled a “Maschil” of Asaph, thereby signifying an INSTRUCTION. It is one of the longest Psalms in the Book, not only outlining a history of Israel, but encouraging us to LEARN from this history (cf. Psalm 78:8). ...read more

    That ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

    BREAD OF HEAVEN. Exodus 16:2-15. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey. The ten plagues, the first Passover, the deliverance out of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea all lay behind them. Yet now, here in the wilderness new fears and ...read more

  • The Problem Of Indwelling Sin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,821 views

    Sin uses the law against us; but our victory lies not in ourselves but in the risen Lord Jesus.

    THE PROBLEM OF INDWELLING SIN. Romans 7:15-25a. In the first half of Romans 7:14, Paul speaks in the second person plural: ‘For WE know that the law is spiritual.’ Then, from the second half of the verse, Paul changes to the first person singular, ‘I’ – ‘but I am carnal, sold under (or a ...read more

  • A Prayer Of David.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 11, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,019 views

    The LORD is a very present help in time of need.

    A PRAYER OF DAVID. Psalm 86:1-10, Psalm 86:16-17. PSALM 86:1. Whatever troubles the Psalmist was facing, he recognises two things: the greatness of the LORD (YHWH), and his own smallness. Such is his humility when he asks the LORD to “Bow down (His) ear” to such a one as is “poor and needy.” The ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,692 views

    Is anything too hard for the LORD?

    THE SON OF LAUGHTER. Genesis 18:1-15, Genesis 21:1-7. 1. The promise (Genesis 18:1-15). 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 ...read more

  • Complaint And Restoration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,390 views

    God’s purposes are in no way thwarted by persecution, but rather, somewhat ironically, helped forward by the sufferers’ steadfastness.

    COMPLAINT AND RESTORATION. Jeremiah 15:15-21. This is one of the laments of Jeremiah. There is a complaint here (Jeremiah 15:15-18), and also a reply from the LORD (Jeremiah 15:19-21). JEREMIAH 15:15. The prophet is bold in his approach: “O LORD, thou knowest.” The LORD does know all our ...read more

  • The Petulance Of Jonah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,384 views

    God, for His part, cares for the whole of His creation.

    THE PETULANCE OF JONAH. Jonah 3:10, Jonah 4:1-11. The LORD is merciful to those who repent (JONAH 3:10; cf. Psalm 130:3-4). When Jonah at last arrived in Nineveh after his circuitous journey, his message was simple: ‘Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown’ (cf. Jonah 3:4). ...read more

  • The Lord Is My Shepherd

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 26, 2015
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,877 views

    Addressed to both children and adults.

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. Psalm 23:1-3. When King David was a boy, he used to look after his father’s sheep - so he knew what he was talking about when he spoke of the LORD as his shepherd. As we all know, a “shepherd” looks after sheep. David led the sheep, but the LORD led David. Yet one day ...read more

  • About Formalism In Worship.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 31, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,296 views

    It is not good when our worship is nothing more than a formality, rather than an engagement with the One whom we are supposedly worshipping.

    ABOUT FORMALISM IN WORSHIP. Psalm 50:7-15. Taken as a whole, the content of this Psalm appears as a court case, with El Elohim Yahweh, “the Mighty God the LORD” (cf. Psalm 50:1) presiding as Judge (cf. Psalm 50:6) - and God’s covenant people in the dock (cf. Psalm 50:5). Here the ...read more

  • The Recommissioning Of Ezekiel.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,183 views

    I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live.

    THE RECOMMISSIONING OF EZEKIEL. Ezekiel 33:7-11. EZEKIEL 33:7. The prophet Ezekiel had first been commissioned by the LORD to be a “a watchman” for “the house of Israel” back in Ezekiel 3:17. This is now a renewal of that commission. Again the warning comes from the LORD. EZEKIEL 33:8. As a ...read more

    The holy God remembered His covenant with Abraham, and kept His holy promise.

    FROM EGYPT TO CANAAN. Psalm 105:37-45. (i). The Exodus. PSALM 105:37. After the smiting of the firstborn in Egypt, the LORD brought forth His people with both wealth and wellness (cf. 3 John 1:2). The Egyptians sacked their own houses in order to provide the children of Israel with some back ...read more

  • The Light Of God's Word.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,732 views

    God has written His word upon our hearts, and inclines our wills to keeping it.

    THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD. Psalm 119:105-112. PSALM 119:105. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” The word of God, the Bible, is totally reliable (cf. Hebrews 4:12). The Psalmist unreservedly relies upon it. Furthermore, Jesus is the Word (cf. John 1:1), and He is the ...read more

    From a trackless wilderness to a City to dwell in.

    A CITY OF HABITATION Psalm 107:1-7; Psalm 107:33-37. This Psalm is a call to thanksgiving to the LORD, “for He is good: for His mercy endures forever” (Psalm 107:1). The writer longs that those whom the LORD has redeemed, whom He has redeemed from the hand of enemy - out of the east, and ...read more
