    Fight The Good Fight Of The Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,771 views

    Flee, follow, fight, lay hold, and obey. The makings of the man of God.

    FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF THE FAITH. 1 Timothy 6:11-16. The title “man of God” (1 Timothy 6:11) is addressed to Timothy in contradistinction to ‘any man who teaches otherwise’ (1 Timothy 6:3). The expression is occasionally used of prophets in the Old Testament. In the New Testament it will come ...read more

    The Faithful Sayings In The Pastoral Epistles

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,181 views

    The "faithful sayings" are short succinct statements of belief, worthy of full acceptance by all. They are a trademark of the letters of Paul to Timothy and Titus.

    THE FAITHFUL SAYINGS IN THE PASTORAL EPISTLES. The hymn book of the New Testament church was no doubt the Book of Psalms, thus establishing the continuity of worship from synagogue to church. However, there are hints in Paul’s writings of other formulae which may have been used in public ...read more

    The Unjust Steward

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,612 views

    Some thoughts on a challenging text.

    THE UNJUST STEWARD. Luke 16:1-9. For centuries interpreters have been more than a little puzzled, perplexed and disturbed by the parable of the unjust steward, at the beginning of Luke 16. The Emperor Julian, otherwise known as Julian the Apostate, even tried to use this parable to show that ...read more

    The Good Deposit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,750 views

    1. "Keep the Committed Deposit" of the gospel; 2. In a verse which has become so familiar in translation that we almost forget to check the Greek language which lies behind it, we discover that only "He is able to Keep my Committed Deposit."

    THE GOOD DEPOSIT. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. At the end of his previous letter, Paul encouraged Timothy to ‘KEEP’ - or guard - the ‘COMMITTED DEPOSIT’ (1 Timothy 6:20). In the second letter, Paul reiterates this instruction in much the same words: “the good DEPOSIT COMMITTED … KEEP” (2 Timothy 1:14). ...read more

    The Rich Man And Lazarus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,084 views

    Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.

    THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS. Luke 16:19-31. It was against the Pharisees who were lovers of money that Jesus spoke the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. It is a sad story, which shows two men in quite different lifestyles in this life, and the fate of each of them in the life to come. 1. The ...read more

    The Ministry Of Baptism

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,571 views

    The word of God did not come to the palaces of the great or the mighty in church or state, but to John, in the wilderness.

    THE MINISTRY OF BAPTISM. Luke 3:1-22. People may be impressed with names and titles, but God is not. As Peter told the household of Cornelius, God shows no partiality: “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). Tiberius was Emperor in Rome. Pontius Pilate was governor in Judea. Herod was ...read more

    The Inclusive Nature Of The Mission Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,093 views

    The inaugural sermon of Jesus, and the refusal of His own people to hear Him.

    THE INCLUSIVE NATURE OF GOD’S MISSION. Luke 4:21-30. In a synagogue in Nazareth, a young man is reading aloud from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He stops mid-sentence at “the acceptable year of the LORD” without mentioning “the day of vengeance of our God” (Isaiah 61:2). As He sits down to ...read more

    Take Up Your Cross And Follow Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,663 views

    Self denial, self sacrifice, following wherever Jesus leads. The danger of ruining our eternal souls. Christ alone can save us.

    TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS. Luke 9:18-26. Peter was in no doubt that Jesus is the anointed one of God. What he did not understand was that his Master is not like any earthly Lord. He is not the type of King who was expected by the crowds. Jesus did not come into the world to deliver ...read more

    THE FOX, THE MOTHER HEN, AND THE CHICKS. Luke 13:31-35. Jesus had been going through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem (Luke 13:22). On the way he had encountered a man who was curious about the number of people who are going to be saved (Luke 13:23). The answer ...read more

     | 7,222 views

    In Bethlehem's fields the angels sang, "Peace on earth." The crowd in Jerusalem reply, "Peace in heaven."

    PEACE BE WITH YOU. Luke 19:28-40. EXEGESIS. (Luke 19:28). Jesus had already ‘set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). Now His hour had come, and He confronted his destiny.

    The Meaning Of It All.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 15, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 18,665 views

    We remember the Lord's death each time we partake of the communion. It is a perpetual remembrance, until He comes. Christ has died, and Christ will come again. But meantime, Christ is risen.

    THE MEANING OF IT ALL. Luke 24. It is reported in all four Gospels that the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ took place on the first day of the week, when the Sabbath was over. Not only was it the dawn of a new day, it was the dawn of a new week. Not only was it the dawn of a new week, but ...read more

    The Widow And The Prophet

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 15, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,005 views

    Grace can truly be said in the household that has received the LORD's grace, and the gift of faith, the gift of prayer, and the gift of answered prayer. All we have to do now is obey.

    THE WIDOW AND THE PROPHET. 1 Kings 17:8-24. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17). This may seem an audacious thing to pray for, but the ...read more

    The Beginning

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 15, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,134 views

    The preexistence of God and the plurality of His Persons. The order of Creation, and the presence of God's wisdom.

    THE BEGINNING. Genesis 1:1-31, Genesis 2:1-4a. "In the beginning God" implies that God existed before the beginning of time. No mere thing existed before the beginning, but only God. There is no duality, no struggle between equal forces of good and evil: just God. Yet we see God in ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 15, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,685 views

    Jesus as the Word, co-eternal with God, active in Creation...

    THE ETERNAL WORD. John 1:1-3. “In the beginning” (John 1:1) takes us back to a point before the creation of the heavens and the earth. The New English Bible goes some way towards capturing this dynamic with the expression: “When all things began, the Word already was.” When we studied Genesis ...read more

    Jesus as the source of life and light.

    LIFE AND LIGHT. John 1:4-5. “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” We have here four propositions: 1. The Word of God is the source of all life. 2. His life illuminates all men. 3. The light appears ...read more
