    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,958 views

    Jesus is the Prophet like unto Moses, and all His words are truth.

    JESUS: A PROPHET LIKE MOSES. Deuteronomy 18:15-20. 1. A Prophet raised up by God (Deuteronomy 18:15). John the Baptist was asked, ‘Are you that Prophet?’ (John 1:21). His answer was an emphatic, ‘No!’ So people began to wonder if it was Jesus (John 6:14). 2. From your own people (Deuteronomy ...read more

    A Communion for the New Year.

    THE FELLOWSHIP OF PARTICIPATION. 1 Corinthians 10:16-21. 1. We have fellowship in the cup, which is a sharing in the benefits of the blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16); 2.

  • Wrestling In Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,732 views

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

  • The Apostleship Of Paul

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,081 views

    Paul had a personal encounter with the resurrected Lord, and was chosen, called, commissioned and sent by Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Apostleship of Paul. Galatians 1:11-18. Paul's testimony is that he is “the least of the apostles,” but he still saw the risen Lord and is a witness to the resurrection “as one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:8-9). Paul asserted his apostleship by saying, “Am I not an apostle? ...read more

  • Patterns And Motivations For Giving

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,708 views

    How can we not be generous when Christ gave His very Self? We give thanks to God for His indescribable gift.

    2 Corinthians 8:1-12. By the grace (charis = gift) of God, the Macedonian church had been particularly forward in giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-4). Paul challenged the Corinthians to demonstrate their love by also sharing in this grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:7-8). The pattern of Christ's ...read more

  • The Grain Offering

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2014
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,887 views

    A bloodless offering - offered by those already covered by the Blood.

    THE GRAIN OFFERING. Leviticus 2:1-16. It might be appropriate at this point to consider the significance of the “grain offering” (Leviticus 2). This was a voluntary offering - literally, “a gift” - and Hebrew scholars generally understand that it was offered along with one of the other ...read more

  • Teaching Through Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 22, 2015
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,661 views

    To be amazed is not the same as being converted.

    TEACHING THROUGH HEALING. Mark 1:21-28. As we re-read Mark’s Gospel - as we must, from time to time - we find it to be a Gospel of two halves. The first half tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher (Mark 1:21-22), who also happened to use healing (or more ...read more

  • This Is What I Came To Do

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 25, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,620 views

    The pressure of the crowd must never be allowed to take precedence over a right relationship with God.

    THIS IS WHAT I CAME TO DO. Mark 1:29-39. 1. The first Deacon (Mark 1:29-31). After the synagogue service in Capernaum, Jesus and His four companions went to the home of Simon and Andrew (Mark 1:29). Was this the first after-church fellowship - or perhaps even the formation of the first ...read more

  • Healing The Leprosy Of Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,478 views

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more

  • A Sabbath For The Hungry, Healing For The Withered

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,417 views

    Is it lawful to good on the sabbath days?

    A SABBATH FOR THE HUNGRY, HEALING FOR THE WITHERED. Mark 2:23-3:6. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled’ (Matthew 5:6). The hunger and thirst which He spoke of in that Beatitude is evidently spiritual, but it is amply illustrated in ...read more

  • A Bow In The Sky: Starting Over

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 14, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,574 views

    The LORD God hangs His bow in the sky, like a warrior setting aside His weapons of destruction. It bodes well for us, even when we have been under His fatherly chastisement.

    A BOW IN THE SKY: STARTING OVER. Genesis 9:8-17. 1. The Rainbow. In the great Age of Exploration, travellers and missionaries were often amazed to find that differing cultures and civilisations - separated from one another since the scattering of mankind after the fall of the Tower of Babel ...read more

  • An Overview Of The Book Of Joel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,153 views

    We cannot change the past: but in Christ, God restores to us what would have been had we not allowed sin an entrance (Joel 2:25).

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF JOEL. Joel 1-3. The name Joel means ‘Yahweh is God’ or perhaps ‘Whose God is the LORD’. There is no doubt that Joel's God is the LORD: not only on account of his given name, but also because of his courage in confronting Israel and the nations with a far-reaching ...read more

  • A Covenant For The Nations

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,912 views

    The covenant established with Abraham is not just about the land, or circumcision - but it is also about God's plan of redemption for the nations, via the cross of Jesus.

    A COVENANT FOR THE NATIONS. Genesis 17:1-7; Genesis 17:15-16. Abram was ninety-nine years old. Ishmael, his son by his wife’s slave girl Hagar, was thirteen. Now, after a long silence, the LORD spoke anew to Abram. When we try to work out God’s purposes on our own strength, as Abram and Sarai ...read more

  • An Answer To The Tyranny Of Self

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 27, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,908 views

    Be alert to the wiles of the devil. Be ready to deny self, and follow Jesus.

    AN ANSWER TO THE TYRANNY OF SELF. Mark 8:27-38. The first half of the Gospel of Mark tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher who also happened to use healing (and exorcism) as a teaching device. In the second half the Lord started to prepare His inner circle of ...read more

  • A Word To The Wise

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 7, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,254 views

    The wisdom of the wise versus the foolishness of preaching.

    A WORD TO THE WISE. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. The common consensus in the world of Paul’s day was that God exists. The Jews knew the identity of the true and living God from their past encounters with Him; but the Greeks were floundering about in the dark, seeking ways of access to God through the ...read more
