  • Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,859 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

    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
     | 10,420 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
     | 8,436 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

  • Can These Bones Live?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 22, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,548 views

    How long-dead sun-bleached bones revived, and become an exceeding great army.

    THE RESURRECTION OF THE DRY BONES. Ezekiel 37:1-14. When confronted with insurmountable difficulties we often ask: “Can these bones live?” Yet the question originates with God, and is addressed to man. The LORD thereby challenges us within our seemingly impossible situation - whatever it may ...read more

  • God In The City

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 23, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,495 views

    A word picture of the justice and mercy of God, set against the dark backdrop of a rebellious people.

    GOD IN THE CITY. Zephaniah 3:1-5. A Christian applied for a job which would involve helping some of those on the margins of society. ‘Why would you want to work in this God-forsaken place,’ asked the interviewer. ‘Because it is not God-forsaken,’ replied the candidate. This short passage of ...read more

  • The Four Craftsmen

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,530 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
     | 9,964 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
     | 9,170 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
     | 7,417 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
     | 10,480 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
     | 12,687 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

  • The Key To Righteous Living

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 15, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,331 views

    Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to keep and fulfill it. We also are required to be obedient to the law - not indeed as a means of salvation (which it could never be) - but as an expression of our love and service.

    THE KEY TO RIGHTEOUS LIVING. Matthew 5:17-20. 1. Jesus’ statement is emphatic:- “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). The righteousness of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the end of the law, the one to whom ...read more

  • But I Say Unto You

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 18, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,974 views

    Getting into the heart of the law with Jesus.

    BUT I SAY UNTO YOU... Matthew 5:21-26. I. In His recent wilderness struggles with the enemy, Jesus used the formula ‘It stands written’ in reply to each temptation (Matthew 4:4-10). The Word of God is its own authority against the wiles of the devil. Furthermore, when the devil quoted a passage ...read more

  • The Call To Perfect Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,540 views

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more
