  • From Victim To Victor: The Widows Mite

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,819 views

    A contrast between acquisitive Scribes, and a gift given out of penury.

    FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR: THE WIDOW’S MITE. Mark 12:38-44. In our previous reading, Jesus pronounced one Scribe, ‘Not far from the kingdom of God’ (Mark 12:34). Yet Jesus’ opinion of the Scribes in general was not unlike His opinion of the Pharisees (cf. Luke 11:43). ‘The Scribes and the ...read more

  • A Right Use Of Freedom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,707 views

    Drawing enduring principles from an ancient debate.

    A RIGHT USE OF FREEDOM. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13. Faced with a difference of opinion concerning food which may (or may not) have been offered to idols, the Apostle Paul appears here to be addressing some of the slogans being used in the theological and ethical debate in Corinth. The first slogan ...read more

  • Renewing Our Covenant With The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,626 views

    Christians need to be constantly recalled to their first love, and churches to the rudiments (first principles) of the faith of a better generation.

    RENEWING OUR COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Joshua 24:1-3; Joshua 24:14-25. The choice of Shechem as the site for the renewal of the covenant after the conquests under Joshua is significant. This was where the LORD had promised Abram both ‘this land’ and ‘a seed’ to occupy it, and Abram had ‘built ...read more

  • A Sequence Of Sayings

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,932 views

    A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

    A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

  • The Paraclete

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 4, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,745 views

    The church is called to bear witness to Jesus, but this witness is primarily the witness of the Holy Spirit.

    THE PARACLETE. John 15:26-27. I. CONTEXT Jesus said, ‘I will pray the Father, and (1) He shall give you another Comforter’ (John 14:16). The word Paraclete, here translated as ‘Comforter’, speaks of One who draws alongside. The same word can be translated as ‘Helper’, ‘Counsellor’ or ...read more

  • Who Is Like Our God?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 24, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,113 views

    From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.

    WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? Psalm 113:1-9. PSALM 113:1. “Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.” “Praise ye the LORD” is a translation of “Hallelujah.” It is an imperative, addressed to a plurality of people. These people are identified as “the ...read more

  • The True Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,955 views

    We draw our spiritual life from the Lord Jesus Christ just as surely as the branch draws the sap from the root.

    THE TRUE VINE. John 15:1-8. In Psalm 80:8-16 Israel is poignantly portrayed as a vine which has spread throughout the whole land, only to be torn down, devoured, and burnt at the time of the Exile. The vineyard motif is again taken up in Isaiah 5:1-7, where a moral reason is given for this ...read more

  • From Adam To Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 15, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,290 views

    From Adam, where are you? to victory in Jesus.

    FROM ADAM TO CHRIST. Genesis 3:8-15. Adam was the representative head of the human race, and when he partook of the forbidden fruit, he brought disaster and death upon all of his descendants. Spiritual death, separation from God, was immediate. Suddenly man and his wife realised that they were ...read more

  • Would God I Had Died For Thee!

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,105 views

    The fatherly tears of David the king, and the compassion of God.

    WOULD GOD I HAD DIED FOR THEE! 2 Samuel 18:5-9; 2 Samuel 18:15; 2 Samuel 18:31-33. When I was still on the threshold between boyhood and manhood, I wrote two books of poems. The first I entitled, 'Going our own way.' I did not think of it at the time, but perhaps I was using the ...read more

  • Jesus In The Midst: The Upper Room.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,719 views

    Trying to understand Jesus without the Scriptures is futile, and comprehending Scripture without Jesus opening our understanding is impossible

    JESUS IN THE MIDST: THE UPPER ROOM. Luke 24:36-48. What a scene met the two from the Emmaus Road upon their return to Jerusalem! The dejected church was now declaring its Easter message: “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.” To which they added their own testimony of the risen ...read more

  • A Plea For Relief.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 108 views

    The church’s cause is the LORD’s own cause.

    A PLEA FOR RELIEF. Psalm 74:19-23. The Psalmist is addressing the LORD when he says, “O deliver not the soul of THY turtledove unto the multitude” (PSALM 74:19a). The soul of a believer is compared to a turtledove. Jesus addresses the Church as ‘MY dove’ in Song of Songs 2:14. Doves were kept ...read more

  • Some Observations Of Solomon.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 116 views

    Words fitly spoken.

    SOME OBSERVATIONS OF SOLOMON. Proverbs 25:6-14. 1. “Come up hither” (Proverbs 25:6-7). This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (cf. Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, ...read more

  • The Lord Our Shepherd.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 424 views

    The work of the Good Shepherd.

    THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34:11-16a. First, we see the Good Shepherd as the one who seeks out the lost sheep, Ezekiel 34:11. ‘If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,’ teaches Jesus, ‘does he not go to the mountains to seek the one who is straying?’ (cf. Matthew 18:12). ...read more

  • Of Answered Prayer.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 493 views

    "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul" (Psalm 66:16).

    OF ANSWERED PRAYER. Psalm 66:16-20. The testimony of the people of God is supplemented with the testimony of one believer: like a good old-fashioned evangelistic meeting, which not only has good preaching, but also individual testimonies to follow. The voice of the one rises above the song of ...read more

  • Elisha Takes Up The Mantle Of Elijah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 1, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 754 views

    The Holy Spirit ensures continuity in Ministry.

    ELISHA TAKES UP THE MANTLE OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:9-15. 1. Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's blessing, but Elijah laid emphasis on God’s sovereignty in this matter (2 Kings 2:9-10). After Elijah was taken up, Elisha tore his own clothes into two pieces, then took up Elijah's ...read more
