    A warning to those who wander from the path of the LORD.

    THE STRANGE HISTORY OF THE MAN OF GOD 1 Kings 13:1-32 ‘There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death’ (Proverbs 14:12; Proverbs 16:25). This strange episode, in the midst of the Jeroboam cycle in the books of Kings, demonstrates the interplay ...read more

     | 10,221 views

    Prevarication is not an option!

    THE CONTEST ON MOUNT CARMEL. 1 Kings 18:20-39. The prophet Elijah is nothing if not bold in his confrontation with King Ahab. The king accused Elijah of being “he that troubles Israel” (1 Kings 18:17). The prophet’s retort was rather to accuse Ahab and his family of troubling Israel, as they had ...read more

  • Stillness And The Power Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,190 views

    Swimming against the religious tide is a lonely business. Doubts may follow, but the LORD recalls us to duty.

    STILLNESS AND THE POWER OF GOD. 1 Kings 19:1-19. A. THE WILDERNESS OF DISSENT (1 Kings 19:1-8). It is hard when we stand out in the crowd, but Christians are different. The Bible names us a ‘peculiar people’ - called out of darkness into His marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). Privileges carry ...read more

  • The Theft Of A Vineyard

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,363 views

    One man's brave stand against those who would rob him of his inheritance.

    THE THEFT OF A VINEYARD. 1 Kings 21:1-21. Some of us have had the privilege of living in a land where, on paper at least, there was no trespass law. Whether this was because ‘the land belongs to the LORD’ is doubtful - surely no land can share today in the special status of ancient Israel? Yet ...read more

  • Living The Life Of Christ

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,901 views

    Four imperatives for Christian living.

    LIVING THE LIFE OF CHRIST. Colossians 3:1-11. The doctrinal basis for the imperatives of this section is found in the fact that the ‘saints and faithful brethren’ (Colossians 1:2) have been “raised” with Christ. This connects with the symbols of baptism and new life in the previous chapter ...read more

  • The Woman At The Well

     | 22,836 views

    How one woman's encounter with Jesus changed her whole community.

    THE WOMAN AT THE WELL. John 4:1-42. 1. THE OCCASION (John 4:1-4). Jesus had been preaching in Judea, and His ministry was proving to be even more successful than John the Baptist’s. The religious authorities were somewhat disturbed at the number of converts that the disciples of Jesus were ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,183 views

    Using the Word of God to defeat the devil.

    THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS. Matthew 4:1-11. The wilderness (Matthew 4:1). When God created man, He placed him in a garden (Genesis 2:15). The world when it was created resembled something more like a garden than it does today. God created all things ‘very good‘ (Genesis 1:31), but man’s collective ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,394 views

    A Sermon for Proper 11, Series B preached 7/22/2012 as a guest speaker at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Estherville, Iowa. Redeemer was in the midst of a pastoral vacancy at the time I preached this sermon.

    I found it rather interesting that out of all the Sundays I could have come to visit your congregation and share a message from God’s Word with you, it had to be this one. In the readings you just heard that were appointed for today, we are given word pictures of sheep and shepherds. I just ...read more

    Series B, Proper 13 Preached in the McConnellsburg Lutheran Parish 8/5/2012

    I have to admit, every time I read through this part of the book of Exodus, I am just amazed at the behavior of the Israelites. If there was ever a group of people who should know from first hand experience that when God promises to do something, He will do it, it should be the Israelites. ...read more

    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).

  • The Envoy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,017 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

    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
     | 5,717 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
     | 4,630 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
     | 7,765 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
