  • The Four Craftsmen

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,666 views

    Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6).

    THE FOUR CRAFTSMEN. Zechariah 1:18-21. The four horns (Zechariah 1:18) in this vision represent the nations which have scattered Israel (Zechariah 1:19; Zechariah 1:21). Horns are also used in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. Animals use horns to thrust and to overpower. The four craftsmen ...read more

  • Lessons In The Temptation Of Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Beard on Mar 4, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,039 views

    A study of the temptation of Jesus Christ, and lessons in perseverance that we can apply in our daily Christian walks.

    I’ll admit it. I was this close to titling this article “The Temptation of Jesus, and Why We’re All Wussies”. Luckily, cordiality and meekness won out, and so we have been left with the current title of this piece. Still, the main point stands. In comparison to Christ, we ...read more

  • The Flight Into Egypt

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 4, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,367 views

    After our exile in the dark places of Egypt we are summoned to return to the place we came from, chastened and up-built by the experience which we have been through, and equipped for whatever may lay ahead.

    THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. Matthew 2:13-15; Matthew 2:19-23. We have already established that Joseph Ben-David was a dreamer (Matthew 1:20). Although his angelic visitations took place in dreams, in visions of the night (Job 20:8), they were not nebulous apparitions. A real, tangible, substantial ...read more

  • Grace, Repentance, And Forgiveness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,472 views

    The bitterness that we feel when we first realise what we have done is compared to the bitterness of losing an only son. Perhaps in this we begin to understand what it cost the LORD God to secure the free gift of our salvation.

    GRACE, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS. Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 13:1. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ loved us before we loved Him (1 John 4:19). God ‘so loved’ us that He sent His Son Jesus into this world to die for our sins (John 3:16). Christ died and rose again, and ever intercedes ...read more

  • Triumph Of The Humble King

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,552 views

    The shaking of the spiritual realm. The inheritance of the meek.

    TRIUMPH OF THE HUMBLE KING. Matthew 21:1-11. Jesus approached Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover with His disciples - and to present Himself as the ultimate Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). Yet it has to be clear from the beginning that Jesus was coming as the rightful heir to David’s throne ...read more

  • Easter Morning

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 15, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,744 views

    Seismic activity; angelic visitation; dead men living; living men "as dead men". Fear not: Jesus is risen from the dead! Do not be afraid: He is risen indeed!

    EASTER MORNING. Matthew 28:1-10. We noted on Palm Sunday that there was an ongoing spiritual shakedown taking place in Jerusalem, signified by the whole city (meaning the people in it) being ‘moved’ by the events of Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:10). It was also seen straight afterwards in the ...read more

  • Awake Thou Sleeper

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 23, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,880 views

    The tension between light and darkness resolved as we shake off our drowsiness!

    AWAKE THOU SLEEPER! Ephesians 5:8-14. A. Paul contrasts what believers once were (darkness) with what we now are (light in the Lord) (Ephesians 5:8). i) We are to walk IN the light (1 John 1:7), for the ‘fruit of the Spirit’ (Galatians 5:22-23) IS the fruit of light (cf. Ephesians 5:9); ii) ...read more

  • The Mustard Seed And The Leaven

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 27, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,305 views

    From small beginnings, the World-Wide Church. The hidden workings of the Word in a life.

    THE MUSTARD SEED AND THE LEAVEN. Matthew 13:31-33. I. The Mustard Seed. This Sermon had its roots in a children’s address given long ago and far away. At that time I was interested (for all the best practical reasons) in gardening. I brought some seeds as a visual aid, and drew attention to ...read more

  • A Restless Night

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,792 views

    Physical tiredness is often a foe to the Christian, and to the church.

    A RESTLESS NIGHT. Song of Songs 5:1-16. The Song of Songs is a wonderful piece of poetry, a love song often used to illustrate Christ's relationship with the Church. This kind of double application of human love, and of the love between Christ and the Church may be seen also in Paul's ...read more

  • Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,936 views

    A short appeal to persevere in prayer.

    IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Matthew 15:21-28. Sometimes in the round of life it seems that we are praying by rote - and sometimes not praying at all, but rather ‘saying prayers’. I was impressed with the importunity of the woman of Canaan who approached Jesus in Matthew 15:21-28. Yes folks, faith ...read more

  • Old Patterns, New Worship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 30, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,522 views

    The need for pattern, and order, in the worship of the Lord.

    OLD PATTERNS, NEW WORSHIP. 1 Chronicles 28:11-13; 1 Chronicles 28:19. In Mount Sinai the LORD gave Moses specific instructions for the construction of the tabernacle and for the conduct of worship therein. God spelled out every detail from the dimensions of the tent to the hanging of the curtain ...read more

  • Implications Of The Ascension Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 5, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,530 views

    Seated in the heavenlies, head over all things, exercising dominion, filling all things for the church.

    IMPLICATIONS OF THE ASCENSION OF JESUS. Ephesians 1:15-23. This single-sentence prayer is a follow-up to the single-sentence praise of Ephesians 1:3-14. God has blessed Paul’s readers with faith (Ephesians 1:15), so the Apostle ceases not to give thanks for them, and continues to pray for them ...read more

  • Prophesying In The Camp

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 6, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,510 views

    The Sovereign Holy Spirit does not always operate where, when, how, with what, or with whom we may expect. Such things are not open to debate.

    PROPHESYING IN THE CAMP. Numbers 11:4-6, Numbers 11:10-16, Numbers 11:24-29. Chips (French Fries) for tea every day seemed a good idea for a Ship’s Company of 180 Cadets in their teens. But chips every day??? We rebelled - and our chips were replaced by some fluffy artificial instant mashed ...read more

  • A Good Wife And A Mean-Spirited Husband

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,226 views

    I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

    A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

  • The Letter And The Spirit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,317 views

    Having embraced the gospel ourselves, we are motivated to share it with others. How? Our sufficiency is in God.

    THE LETTER AND THE SPIRIT. "We are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves;" says Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:5, "but our sufficiency is of God." Paul then goes on to contrast the ministry of the New Testament with that of the Old; the glory that shone in ...read more
