  • The Envoy

    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
     | 5,722 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.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,767 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

    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
     | 5,527 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
     | 4,320 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
     | 7,814 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

  • The Annunciation

    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,643 views

    The difference between honest questions and unbelief.

    THE ANNUNCIATION. Luke 1:5-38. There are a few people in the Bible whose births were announced prior to their conception. In the Old Testament we had Isaac, Samson, and Samuel. In the New Testament we have John the Baptist and, of course, Jesus. The Gospel of Luke commences with the end of 400 ...read more

  • The Song Of Elizabeth

    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,049 views

    Mary's encounter with Elizabeth. The blessedness of Jesus.

    THE SONG OF ELIZABETH. Luke 1:39-45. The angel Gabriel told the virgin Mary that her hitherto barren cousin Elizabeth was pregnant, because “with God, nothing is impossible” (Luke 1:37). Mary's reaction to this news was to leave Nazareth, and to go into the hill country to the city where her ...read more

    Mary magnifies the Lord.

    THE SONG OF MARY. Luke 1:46-55. I) CONTEXT A young woman, betrothed but not married, had a visitation from an angel and was pronounced “blessed amongst women” (Luke 1:28). In what way was Mary blessed? Well, she had “found favour with God” (Luke 1:30): Mary was going to be the mother of the ...read more

  • The Song Of Zacharias

    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,434 views

    The old priest opens his mouth for God, and prophesies.

    SONG OF ZACHARIAS. Luke 1:65-80. It is probable that Zacharias was elevated above purely personal petitions when he exercised his incense-burning office as priest in the Most Holy Place on the day that the angel Gabriel had appeared to him (Luke 1:9-11). The longings of the faithful remnant in ...read more

  • A Royal Nativity: The Inbreaking Of The Holy.

    The coming of the promised King.

    A ROYAL NATIVITY: THE IN-BREAKING OF THE HOLY. Luke 2:1-20. 1. A ROYAL NATIVITY (Luke 2:1-7). When Jacob blessed his sons, he prophesied that the sceptre would not pass from Judah “UNTIL He comes whose right it is” (Genesis 49:10). Even the hireling prophet Balaam recognised that a king was ...read more

  • Angels And Shepherds

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 7, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 16,471 views

    No person is an 'untouchable' to God: and the things revealed that first Christmas are such that 'angels desire to look into...'

    ANGELS AND SHEPHERDS. Luke 2:8-20. To be a shepherd was not necessarily considered to be one of the higher occupations in the Judean province. This is surprising, since some of Israel's great leaders had been shepherds. Abraham had his flocks, as had Isaac. Jacob kept the flocks of his ...read more
