    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,458 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
     | 10,416 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
     | 8,435 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
     | 7,144 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
     | 4,278 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

  • Sabbath Liberation

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,039 views

    The folly of hedging the Sabbath with man-made rules

    SABBATH LIBERATION. Our attitudes to the Sabbath can tell a lot about our Christianity. In Luke 13:10-17, the president of the synagogue obviously felt it was more important to keep the Sabbath, even in the minutiae of man-made rules, than to look after his parishioners: "There are six days ...read more

  • Why I Love Ephesians

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,310 views

    The majesty and practicality of one of the most wonderful books in the Bible.

    WHY I LOVE EPHESIANS: A short outline. It begins with praise to God for all our blessings in Christ. It places the source of our salvation, even of our faith, squarely on the shoulders of God. It proclaims the mystery of salvation, the unsearchable riches of Christ. It reminds the Church ...read more

  • The Great Commission

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,731 views

    The actual going is subservient to the task: the preaching, teaching and baptising... If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). If Immanuel is with us, then we need have no fear. If the Holy Spirit is in us, then we are empowered...

    THE GREAT COMMISSION. Matthew 28:16-20. Jesus’ band of disciples now numbered eleven after the demise of Judas. They were obedient to an appointment to meet Jesus in Galilee (Matthew 28:16). This was where it had all begun: ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’ (Matthew 4:15). Now, back in Galilee, the ...read more

  • Basic Principles Of The Little Commission

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 26, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,492 views

    In the immediate context of this first mission of the disciples, Jesus laid out some basic principles.

    BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE LITTLE COMMISSION. Matthew 10:24-39. This is part of the Missionary Discourse of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-10:42) - the sending of the twelve disciples to seek out none other than ‘the lost sheep of the house of Israel’ (Matthew 10:6). Since the ‘Great Commission’ (Matthew ...read more

  • The Solemn Responsibility Of Christian Witness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,642 views

    The person who receives you, dear Christian, receives Jesus - and He says that “the one who receives Me receives the One who sent Me” (Matthew 10:40).

    THE SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY OF CHRISTIAN WITNESS. Matthew 10:40-42. This is the continuation of what I have called the ‘little commission’ - the Missionary Discourse of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-10:42). We turn now from the missionaries to those who receive them. a) The attitudes and actions indicated ...read more

  • The Attitude Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,520 views

    Following the example of Jesus.

    THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST. Philippians 2:5-11. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…” (Philippians 2:5). As we begin to evaluate this exhortation of the Apostle Paul, it is appropriate to ask some questions, not only of our text, but also of its context. Who is this Christ ...read more

  • The Regal Genealogy Of Christ

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,656 views

    'Jesus, as to the flesh, of the house of David...' (Romans 1:3).

    THE REGAL GENEALOGY OF CHRIST. Matthew 1:1-17. Genealogies are perhaps one part of the sacred account that we are prone to pass over, but we must pause for a moment in the genealogy of Jesus as given in Matthew 1. We have heard of at least one person who, beginning to read the New Testament, was ...read more

  • Truth And Mercy Meet In The Cross

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,914 views

    Help is at hand: the glory of the Lord is about to be revealed in the face of Jesus Christ.

    TRUTH AND MERCY MEET IN THE CROSS. “Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other” (Psalm 85:10). In Psalm 85 we have first a prayer (Psalm 85:1-7), then what has been termed “an answer of peace” (Psalm 85:8-13). The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, ...read more

  • Words Of Comfort

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 9, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,067 views

    With that superlative peace and such like promises, why should our hearts be troubled?

    WORDS OF COMFORT. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me” (John 14:1). These are precious words of comfort from the lips of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Cross was imminent, and no doubt a sense of foreboding had dampened the Passover celebrations of the little ...read more

    Preaching AHEAD of Jesus' coming to a place and people.

    THE PURPOSE OF CHRISTIAN WITNESS AND MISSION. Matthew 11:1. Matthew 11:1 really belongs to the end of Matthew 10. In this verse we discover the whole purpose of Christian witness and mission. The places to which - and more importantly the people to whom - the Lord is sending His disciples are ...read more
