  • The Glory Of The Messiah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,367 views

    We sometimes need to step aside from the busyness of life for more intimate communion with God. The will of Jesus is that all those given to Him by the Father should behold His glory.

    THE GLORY OF THE MESSIAH. Matthew 17:1-9. The One who referred to Himself as the ‘Son of man’ had just been acknowledged as the Son of God (Matthew 16:16). Jesus demonstrated the necessity of the Cross, and looked forward to His Second Coming. The Lord also promised a preview of the coming of ...read more

  • The Testimony Of Judah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,681 views

    Judah finds both repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE TESTIMONY OF JUDAH. Genesis 44:18-34. I have often wondered why the account of Joseph’s plight in Egypt is interrupted by a chapter about his half-brother Judah (Genesis 38). However, this part of the narrative (Genesis 37-50) is headed ‘the generations of Jacob’ (Genesis 37:2). The whole of ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,373 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

  • Worship And Word

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,835 views

    Worship in context: words of warning

    SINGING PRAISE, AND LISTENING TO THE WORD. Psalm 95. In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote. So when the praise-leader sang “O Come let us sing unto the LORD” (Psalm 95:1), the congregation knew to join in the singing of ...read more

  • The Goodness And Severity Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 16, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,448 views

    If the LORD holds back from judgment, it is not because of any inability on His part. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD. Nahum 1:1-7. We live in an age when people feel uncomfortable with the idea of a jealous God (Nahum 1:2), who condemns the wicked. Even some Christians, and sadly some Christian teachers and preachers amongst them, seem to want to drive a wedge between the ...read more

  • An Unchained Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 24, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,848 views

    Cutting a straight furrow with the Word of God and avoiding catastrophe.

    AN UNCHAINED GOSPEL. 2 Timothy 2:8-15. I. SALVATION WITH ETERNAL GLORY (2 Timothy 2:8-10). Paul asks Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead’ (2 Timothy 2:8). Here in the Greek of 2 Timothy 2:8 the resurrection is mentioned BEFORE the Lord’s nativity into the house of David. ...read more

  • The Envoy

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,911 views

    The commission of John was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to seek honour for himself. The message of the gospel is not about us, it is about Jesus!

    THE ENVOY. John 1:6-8. “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.” John the Evangelist has introduced the Word of God ...read more

  • Light And Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,307 views

    Falling into line with the will of God in our lives.

    LIGHT AND FAITH. John 1:9-13. Here in the midst of paragraph two of John’s Gospel we are being given a revision lesson on the Light of the world, and catch our first glimpse of one of the Evangelist’s great themes. John has just made his first intimation of the testimony of his namesake, but ...read more

  • The Incarnation Of The Word.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,627 views

    When we recognise Jesus for who He is, we also see something of the glory of God.

    THE INCARNATION OF THE WORD. John 1:14-18. 1. THE WORD BECAME FLESH. Having established the connection between faith and being “born again” (John 1:12-13), the Apostle John now explains how that has been made possible. It took nothing less than the incarnation of God Himself (John 1:1). We can ...read more

  • Cowboys Versus Farmers?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,557 views

    It is our attitude, not our sacrifices, that reflects the nature of the man within.

    COWBOYS VERSUS FARMERS? Genesis 4:1-8. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that “almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission” (Hebrews ...read more

  • The Voice.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,673 views

    John the Baptist provides a prime example of a preacher's humility: pointing away from himself to Jesus: not seeking to add followers to His own fold, but to Christ, the Son of God.

    THE VOICE. John 1:19-28. The prologue to John’s Gospel gives an account of how Eternity broke into time (John 1:1; John 1:14): yet Time encroaches on the very timelessness of the account in the person of “a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). This John is not to be confused with ...read more

  • Behold The Lamb Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 12,395 views

    What might John the Baptist's hearers have understood by his declaration: "Behold the Lamb of God"?

    BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD. John 1:29-37. John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said to the crowds around him, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” The next day he repeated to two of his own disciples, “Behold the Lamb of God!” What did John the Baptist mean when he called ...read more

  • The Centrality Of Scripture

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,407 views

    What Scripture is, who is its Author, and what it is for.

    THE CENTRALITY OF SCRIPTURE. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 1. Three times Paul addresses Timothy with an emphatic “you therefore" (2 Timothy 2:1) or “but you” (2 Timothy 3:10; 2 Timothy 3:14). In the fist instance, this sets Timothy alongside those who refreshed Paul in his imprisonment (2 Timothy ...read more

  • The Appearing Of Our Saviour

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,228 views

    The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of the purpose of God for mankind from all eternity.

    THE “APPEARING” OF OUR SAVIOUR. 2 Timothy 1:8-11. The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of God’s purpose for mankind from all eternity. It is the manifestation of the salvation determined from, literally, “before the ages of time” (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; cf. Romans 16:25). No ...read more

  • A Christmas Bible Study

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,696 views

    An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

    A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more
