  • A Garland Of Righteousness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 12, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,622 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

    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
     | 10,844 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
     | 13,523 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
     | 11,349 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

     | 11,935 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
     | 6,395 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
     | 13,113 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
     | 8,250 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

  • The Gift Of The Love Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,092 views

    Jesus was lifted up in the crucifixion so that everyone who trusts in Him would have eternal life. This was, and is, the supreme act of God’s love.

    THE GIFT OF GOD’S LOVE. John 3:14-21. The LORD God made heaven and earth, and all that is in them. He gives morning and evening, seedtime and harvest. In Him we live, and move, and have our being. The LORD God says of Himself: ‘I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me’ ...read more

  • The Son Of The Nobleman

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,825 views

    Sometimes the capacity to receive answered prayer lies within our willingness to obey the clear-cut commands of Jesus.

    THE NOBLEMAN’S SON. John 4:43-54. After the wedding in Cana, Jesus visited Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and disciples; went up to Jerusalem for the Passover; cleansed the Temple; had His famous encounter with Nicodemus; and conducted an itinerant ministry with His disciples in Judaea ...read more

  • A Serpent On A Pole, And A Man On A Cross

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 18, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,376 views

    The symbolism of the serpent on the pole, and the awful reality of the Man upon the Cross.

    A SERPENT ON A POLE, AND A MAN ON A CROSS. Numbers 21:4-9. Much of the books of Exodus and Numbers tells the sad history of a people who for forty years - whilst being delivered, led, and provided for by God - made a profession of complaining. The turning point came when a pole was raised up in ...read more

  • His Plans Not Our Plans

     | 16,562 views

    The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

    HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will (2 Samuel 7:1-4); 2. God’s presence cannot be contained in a ...read more

  • Rebuilding Jericho

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,137 views

    The curse on Jericho, and the consequence of rebuilding.

    REBUILDING JERICHO. 1 Kings 16:34. In the recitation of the ten commandments we read that the LORD our God “visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.” It is important that we keep a balanced view of Scripture because the passage goes on, “but ...read more

    Passing on the mantle: issues of succession in the church.

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1. Elijah’s ascension was attended by horses and chariots. As Elisha and the sons of the prophets ...read more
