  • The Call Of Abraham

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,728 views

    Staking a claim in the land of Canaan.

    THE CALL OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 12:1-9. Our history begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more

  • The Lord Our Shield

     | 5,040 views

    Abraham chose to believe God rather than his own doubts and fears.

    THE LORD OUR SHIELD. Genesis 15:1-6. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden realisation: I’ve just picked a fight with ...read more

  • The Certainty Of The Promise

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,653 views

    God’s delays are not denials. God will not fail to fulfil that which He has promised.

    THE CERTAINTY OF THE PROMISE. Genesis 15:7-21. The priest-king Melchisedec knew God Most High, maker of heaven and earth (Genesis 14:18-19). This same God had led Abram out of his father’s house, and now identified Himself as “the LORD” - the One who was, and is, and continues to be (Genesis ...read more

  • The Faith Of Abraham

    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,762 views

    Faith sees beyond the perplexities and difficulties of the present situation.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 22:1-19. Sometimes in our Christian lives we are challenged to surrender to God that which we hold most dear, that upon which we set our hopes, even that which God has given to us as a gift. God promised Abraham a son, but the patriarch’s wife Sarah was barren. So ...read more

  • The Coming Of Shiloh

     | 4,970 views

    A meditation before communion.

    THE COMING OF SHILOH. Genesis 49:8-12. (A meditation before communion). In prophesying that Judah (whose name means Praise) would be the one whom his brethren would praise, the dying patriarch Jacob was foretelling the coming of Messiah. More than this, he foresaw the triumphal entry of Jesus ...read more

  • The Ten Commandments

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 12, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,898 views

    In the LORD's schoolroom, the pass-mark is 100% - so contemplating the Law of God, summarily comprehended in the Ten Commandments, should drive us to Christ as our only hope!

    THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Exodus 20:1-17. The first thing that we notice about the Ten Commandments is that they are the words of God (Exodus 20:1). Secondly we notice that the LORD is the God who has redeemed us (Exodus 20:2). It is not the keeping of the Ten Commandments which saves us: salvation ...read more

  • A Garland Of Righteousness

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,675 views

    I have finished the course, declares Paul to Timothy. You run your course as I have run mine. This applies not only to Timothy, but to every one of us.

    A GARLAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 2 Timothy 4:6-8; 2 Timothy 4:16-18. Against a background of false teachers, and hypocritical hearers who will not endure sound teaching, Paul exhorted Timothy to urgently preach the word (2 Timothy 4:2). The young minister was to do this both when it seemed ...read more

  • Present Provision And Past Deliverance

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,823 views

    The presentation of the first of the first-fruits as an occasion of Thanksgiving.

    PRESENT PROVISION AND PAST DELIVERANCE. Deuteronomy 26:1-11. 1. The One Whom We Worship. It was the LORD their God who was going to bring Israel into the land of their inheritance (Deuteronomy 26:1). It was the LORD their God, not the Canaanites’ Baal, who would give them bountiful harvests ...read more

  • Choose Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,909 views

    "Choose life": an exhortation that belongs not only to the outset of the Christian life, but to all our choices in this life.

    CHOOSE LIFE. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. On more than one occasion I am sure, “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19) has been used, not inappropriately, as the text for an evangelistic sermon. The context, however, suggests that these words were not originally addressed to people who did not know the LORD ...read more

  • Threshing In The Winepress

    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,605 views

    Those who go forth in the service of the LORD are empowered for the task He sets them. We commence our mission from the altar named, The LORD our Peace.

    THRESHING IN THE WINE-PRESS. Judges 6:11-24. God calls people everywhere, from all walks of life, to serve Him. The call of God comes to deliver us from our sins, and to set us upon the path of righteousness. This path involves duties, which will vary from person to person, but which make up the ...read more

  • An Overview Of The Book Of Ruth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,459 views

    It all comes down to a moment at midnight on a particular threshing floor in the valley below Bethlehem.

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF RUTH. Ruth 1-4. The structure of the Book of Ruth is interesting. It begins in the time of the Judges, and ends with a genealogy that runs on to King David, thus justifying the book’s canonical position between Judges and 1 Samuel. The whole story pivots on a time ...read more

  • Your God Shall Be My God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,995 views

    The vow of Ruth seals the promise, binding her forever not only with Naomi, but also with the LORD.

    YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD. Ruth 1:1-18. Ruth 1:1. “The days when the judges judged” was an age of anarchy (Judges 21:25). Cycles of godlessness were followed by trouble and invasion, the raising of ‘saviours’ and restoration - only for the people of the LORD to fall back again into ...read more

  • Ruth And The Restorer Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,462 views

    Boaz is the restorer of life, granting Naomi restoration and fullness. Thus does Jesus give life and hope to His own.

    RUTH AND THE RESTORER OF LIFE. Ruth 4. It is beautiful to see the way that the LORD restored the broken line of the clan of Ephrathah. Naomi, whose name means Lovely, renames herself Mara, Bitterness. However, her new name never caught on: she is always called Naomi, and in the end must lift ...read more

  • He Is Calling You By Name

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,209 views

    The call of God is what makes all the difference in our lives. We do not have to be on our death bed - or dying on a cross next to the Cross of Jesus - in order to hear His word of mercy.

    HE IS CALLING YOU BY NAME. 1 Samuel 3:1-10. The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1). There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of God ...read more

  • New Wine With Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,313 views

    The passing of old things, and the ushering in of new.

    NEW WINE WITH JESUS. John 2:1-11. The Gospel of John provides us with an unashamedly theological overview of the person of Christ. We are introduced to our Lord under the Genesis motif “in the beginning” (John 1:1), and as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). Throughout the book, John’s preferred ...read more
