  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,899 views

    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

  • The Christ Hymn

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,921 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

  • Grace In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,636 views

    There is hope for the children of believers, if they will but put their trust in God.

    GRACE IN THE WILDERNESS. Jeremiah 32. The LORD speaks of Israel's time after her deliverance from Egypt as a “time of espousals,” when she was “holiness to the LORD” (Jeremiah 2:2-3). This may seem a little surprising, since we know that the forty years wandering in the wilderness were a ...read more

  • A Metaphor Of A Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,459 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

  • The Theft Of A Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,335 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

  • O For A Day In Thy Courts.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,454 views

    The prayer-answering God gives grace and glory in Jesus' Name.

    O FOR A DAY IN THY COURTS. Psalm 84:8-12. The Psalmist’s second “Selah” separates between two prayer petitions. The first is that the “LORD God of hosts… the God of Jacob” would “hear” his prayer, and “give ear” (Psalm 84:8). The Psalmist is in no doubt that our God is a prayer hearing, ...read more

  • A Table Spread.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,575 views

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    A TABLE SPREAD. John 6:1-14. “After these things” (John 6:1), Jesus and His disciples crossed the sea of Galilee. “And a great multitude followed Him because they saw His miracles which He did to them which were diseased" (John 6:2). Jesus and His disciples then withdrew from the ...read more

  • Beware Of Covetousness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 22, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,537 views

    Hoarding wealth versus Rich toward God.

    BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS. Luke 12:13-21. Sometimes people used to approach a Rabbi to settle disputes, so the petitioner in this account may not have realized he was doing anything wrong when he approached Jesus with a request concerning the inheritance left by his father (Luke 12:13). We are not ...read more

  • A New Covenant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,354 views

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

  • A Camel That Passed Through The Eye Of A Needle

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,177 views

    Jesus 'seeking and saving' the Lost.

    A CAMEL THAT PASSED THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE. Luke 19:1-10. We recently read Jesus’ parable of a rich man who was only interested in hoarding his wealth, had no present compassion for the poor, and was living as if there was no God (Luke 12:16-21). God’s verdict on this man was that he was a ...read more

  • Jesus Upon The Cross.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,727 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

  • Continuing The Work Of Christ

    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,727 views

    The true worth of any ministry is discovered not in manufactured results, but in faithful service to the Lord.

    CONTINUING THE WORK OF CHRIST. Mark 6:1-13. The true worth of any ministry is discovered not in manufactured ‘results,’ but in faithful service to the Lord. Your quiet word to a friend in time of need or perplexity may be just as valuable - if not more so - as the clarion call of the gospel ...read more

  • Reassurances For The Needy.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 403 views

    "For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever" (PSALM 9:18).

    REASSURANCES FOR THE NEEDY. Psalm 9:13-20. A personal petition seems to appear in the text with a startling suddenness: “Have mercy upon me, O LORD: consider my trouble” (PSALM 9:13a). Yet even in the midst of this anguish, the Psalmist remembers past deliverances, and addresses his petition to ...read more

  • A Passion For God's Ancient People. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 18, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 907 views

    Eight prerogatives of Israel: “The adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came" (Romans 9:4-5).

    A PASSION FOR GOD’S ANCIENT PEOPLE. Romans 9:1-5. From the dizzy heights of Romans 8, the Apostle Paul seems to suddenly hit an unprecedented low in Romans 9:1-5. The crescendo of the previous glorious chapter meets the jarring note of Paul’s passion for his own people - God’s ancient ...read more
