    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 14, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,708 views

    'Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin' (Hebrews 12:4).

    THE WAR AGAINST SIN. Matthew 15:10-20. The scribes and Pharisees brought an accusation to Jesus concerning His disciples (Matthew 15:2). Jesus exposed their hypocrisy with a counter-question (Matthew 15:3), a counter-argument (Matthew 15:4-6), and a counter accusation (Matthew 15:7-9). This ...read more

  • The Sovereignty Of God And Human Responsibility

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 18, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,322 views

    There is no pleasing some people. If they make up their minds not to put their trust in Jesus, any excuse will suffice to prevent commitment.

    THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY. Matthew 11:16-30. A) The children were out playing on the streets. ‘Let’s play weddings,’ suggested the girls: but the boys would not. ‘Let’s play funerals,’ countered the boys: but the girls would not. A preacher came, austere in his ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 21, 2014
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,299 views

    No matter how good the preaching, the Word of God only takes root in hearts prepared by the Holy Spirit.

    THE SOWER, THE SEED, AND THE SOIL. Matthew 13:1-9; Matthew 13:18-23. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. The Lord entered into a boat and sat and taught, whilst the crowds stood on the seashore. The boat served as a ...read more

    This is a sermon preached as part of a midweek Lenten series on the 6 chief parts of the Small Catechism on March 6th, 2013 at Emmons Lutheran Church, Emmons, Minnesota.

    Tonight as we continue our “Lenten Catechesis”, our journey is going to begin in a place where our Scripture lessons don’t take us: to the banks of the Jordan River. There, we see a man dressed in camel’s hair and a leather belt, who’s diet is locusts and wild honey. ...read more

     | 7,293 views

    A midweek Lenten sermon based on John 20:21-23 that covers the Office of the Keys and Confession from Luther’s Small Catechism. Preached 3/13/2013 at Emmons Lutheran Church, Emmons, Minnesota

    At the beginning of the service, I mentioned that tonight, we were going to be looking at what is perhaps the least known or understood part of the Small Catechism, which is “The Office of the Keys.” When I said that, perhaps some of you were wondering “Did Pastor Martin misplace the keys to his ...read more

  • A Lenten Catechesis-Holy Communion Series

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 22, 2013
     | 7,703 views

    The last sermon in the Lenten Catechesis series, this sermon focuses on the sacrament of Holy Communion.

    One of the things I discovered very quickly in my earlier years as a parish pastor is the joy that Pastors have, and the special relationship that they develop with homebound members of the congregation. In many cases, these dear older saints are people who because of their advanced age and lack ...read more

    A Sermon for the 5th Sunday in Lent, Series C preached 3/17/2013 at Emmons Lutheran Church, Emmons, Minnesota.

    I don’t watch a whole lot of television anymore, but when I do get a chance to watch, one of the shows I get a kick out of are shows that talk about what we would call “dumb criminals.” Usually these are stories about people who commit crimes for rather unusual or illogical ...read more

  • The Need Of Repentance And Forgiveness

     | 7,667 views

    A Sermon for the Third Sunday in Lent, Series C preached 3/3/2013 at Emmons Lutheran Church, Emmons, Minnesota. This was my first Sunday as Pastor at Emmons Lutheran Church.

    It’s not uncommon for natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other such forces of nature to make news headlines. Ranking right up there are stories of tragedy, such as building and bridge collapses, car accidents, aircraft crashes, and other such unfortunate ...read more

  • Food For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,377 views

    When we 'feed' on the means of grace we are not only spiritually, but also physically, fortified for the journey.

    FOOD FOR THE JOURNEY. 1 Kings 19:4-8. The vengeful Queen Jezebel had the power and the authority to have the prophet Elijah executed, and let him know so (1 Kings 19:1-2). Hearing this, Elijah fled (1 Kings 19:3). There are times when flight is not so much cowardice as wisdom - and it is in ...read more

  • The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,253 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

  • All Is Well

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,874 views

    Our common faith was expressed so aptly in the words of Dame Julian of Norwich - but these words were anticipated and exceeded by far by another great woman in today's Scripture passage.

    ALL IS WELL. 2 Kings 4:18-26. In England’s original ‘second City’ - Norwich - there is a little church named after an all-but-forgotten Saint Julian, where worship is still conducted to this very day. Yet the church is not remembered for its patron, but for a certain 14th century recluse who ...read more

  • Trouble At A Place Of Revelation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,606 views

    The enemy of our souls tries to snatch away the words of our confessions of faith while they are still in our mouths, robbing us of our newly received blessing.

    TROUBLE AT A PLACE OF REVELATION. Matthew 16:21-28. The place was Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13): a place of revelation, and a place of decision. Which of two realms will we choose? Which of two religions? Who is it that we are following? Jesus asked the disciples, ‘Whom say ye that I am?’ ...read more

  • The Nearness Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 27, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,528 views

    Popular religion speaks about man reaching up to God. However, the reality is that God is reaching down to us. Yes, Christ is stretching out His arms to us upon the Cross.

    THE NEARNESS OF GOD. Isaiah 65:1-9. People sometimes talk about somebody who ‘found God.’ God was never lost; it is people who are lost. When the prodigal son returned to his father, the father said, ‘this my son was lost, but now is found’ (cf. Luke 15:24). Yet, in their distress, ...read more
