  • Christian Reactions

    How to overcome evil with good.

    CHRISTIAN REACTIONS. Romans 12:14-21. Romans 12:14. The positive imperative is to “bless” those who persecute us. This is similar to the teaching of Jesus (Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27-28). The supreme example is that of Jesus Himself (1 Peter 2:21-23). This partly involved Jesus praying for His ...read more

  • The Neighbourly Kindness Of The Hated Samaritan

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,604 views

    Jesus sees us in our plight, naked and left for dead by the ravishes of sin in our lives. He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37. This well-known parable is best understood within the framework of the question-and-answer narrative between “a certain lawyer” (an expert in the Scripture), and Jesus (Luke 10:25). The motives of the would-be student may well be ...read more

     | 5,084 views

    Justification. By law, or by Jesus Christ?

    THE LIFE THAT I LIVE. Galatians 2:15-21. After giving his biographical testimony (Galatians 1:13-24; Galatians 2:1-10), including an account of his brief contention with Peter (Galatians 2:11-14), Paul appears now to particularly address the Jewish Christians in Galatia: especially the ...read more

     | 1,847 views

    Ask what I shall give thee. 1 Kings 3:5.

    SOLOMON CHOOSES WISDOM. 1 Kings 3:5-12. Solomon started well: ‘he loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father’ (cf. 1 Kings 3:3a). Yet there is a warning signal, which would become a motif throughout the books of Kings: ‘only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places’ ...read more

  • Blessing The One Who Blesses Us With Blessings.

     | 8,690 views

    Chosen to be holy.

    BLESSING THE ONE WHO BLESSES US WITH BLESSINGS. Ephesians 1:3-14. In their original language, these verses constitute the longest sentence in the whole Bible. They form one long celebration of the Blessed One, who blesses us with blessings (Ephesians 1:3). The blessings begin with Him, bring ...read more

  • Complaint And Restoration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,351 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

    A HAPPY HOMECOMING. Isaiah 35:1-10. Isaiah foresees a time ahead of time, when Israel would again be released from captivity, and would undertake another journey through the wilderness. Unlike when they left Egypt, on this occasion they would not be left wandering for forty years, but would make ...read more

  • Look Unto The Rock.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 12, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,349 views

    That Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10 verse 4.

    LOOK UNTO THE ROCK. Isaiah 51:1-6. The imperative “Hearken to me” (Isaiah 51:1; Isaiah 51:4; cf. Isaiah 51:7) is strongly reminiscent of Jesus’ own expression, ‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear’ (cf. Matthew 11:15; Matthew 13:9). Hearken. Listen intently. The words of God are ...read more

  • A Marriage Feast For A Royal Son

    The balance between royal invitation, and choice.

    A MARRIAGE FEAST FOR A ROYAL SON. Matthew 22:1-14. Following the failure of the chief priests and Pharisees to lay malicious hands on Jesus (Matthew 21:45-46), Jesus “answered and spoke to them again by parables” (Matthew 22:1). He spoke of the kingdom of heaven being “like unto a king, who made ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 2,402 views

    Peter denied the Lord through boasting and pride. After breakfast on a beach, Jesus restored him to service and he became a bold preacher on the day of Pentecost.

    A. PETER’S BACKSLIDING 1. Cause boasting. "I will lay down my life for thy sake" (John 13:37). 2. Jesus’ response warning. "Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily Verily, I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice" (John 13:32). 3. Effort flesh. "Smote the ...read more

  • About Formalism In Worship.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 31, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,225 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

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,010 views

    Sin begins in the heart, and from thence proceeds out of the mouth, thus defiling the man.

    THE WAR AGAINST SIN. Matthew 15:10-20. MATTHEW 15:10-11. Jesus turned away from the Pharisees and summoned the crowd to Himself. “Hear and understand,” He taught. Despite what the Pharisees might teach, “it is NOT that which goes into the mouth which defiles a man; but that which comes out of ...read more

  • A Bold Approach.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,192 views

    Praying as those who are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

    A BOLD APPROACH. Psalm 26:1-8. We do not know what specific trouble that David was facing in PSALM 26, but it has all the hallmarks of a man pleading his case before God based on his INTEGRITY. Unfortunately, this is sometimes translated as blamelessness, which all sounds very arrogant and ...read more
