  • The Praise Psalm Of David

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 7, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,217 views

    The LORD preserves all who love Him. This is the flip side of our own perseverance.

    DAVID’S PSALM OF PRAISE. Psalm 145:8-9; Psalm 145:14-21. Psalm 145:8. Proclamation. “The LORD is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and merciful” (Psalm 145:8). This is similar to the self-revelation of the LORD to Moses (Exodus 34:6). It is an integral part of Israel’s understanding of ...read more

  • Participating In The Triune God

    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,724 views

    Through the grace of Christ we encounter the love of God, and participate in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

    PARTICIPATING IN THE TRI-UNE GOD. 2 Corinthians 13:11-14. The final imperatives of this letter seem quite abrupt, almost staccato, but they sum up the situation which gave rise to the challenges of the previous four chapters. The closing benediction comes as a pleasant surprise, and something of ...read more

  • Making Our Complaint To The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 17, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,989 views

    Rather than moaning to one another, grumbling about our plight, we should go to the LORD, and lay it out before Him.

    MAKING OUR COMPLAINT TO THE LORD. Jeremiah 20:7-13. Jeremiah had been put in the stocks - by the church governor, no less - for having the audacity to speak the Word of the LORD in church (Jeremiah 20:1-2)! Even then, there was no stopping Jeremiah telling it as it is, speaking forth the words ...read more

  • Food For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,471 views

    When we 'feed' on the means of grace we are not only spiritually, but also physically, fortified for the journey.

    FOOD FOR THE JOURNEY. 1 Kings 19:4-8. The vengeful Queen Jezebel had the power and the authority to have the prophet Elijah executed, and let him know so (1 Kings 19:1-2). Hearing this, Elijah fled (1 Kings 19:3). There are times when flight is not so much cowardice as wisdom - and it is in ...read more

  • The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,313 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

  • All Is Well

    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,992 views

    Our common faith was expressed so aptly in the words of Dame Julian of Norwich - but these words were anticipated and exceeded by far by another great woman in today's Scripture passage.

    ALL IS WELL. 2 Kings 4:18-26. In England’s original ‘second City’ - Norwich - there is a little church named after an all-but-forgotten Saint Julian, where worship is still conducted to this very day. Yet the church is not remembered for its patron, but for a certain 14th century recluse who ...read more

  • Trouble At A Place Of Revelation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,664 views

    The enemy of our souls tries to snatch away the words of our confessions of faith while they are still in our mouths, robbing us of our newly received blessing.

    TROUBLE AT A PLACE OF REVELATION. Matthew 16:21-28. The place was Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13): a place of revelation, and a place of decision. Which of two realms will we choose? Which of two religions? Who is it that we are following? Jesus asked the disciples, ‘Whom say ye that I am?’ ...read more

  • Regaining The Straying Brother

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 26, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,502 views

    Church discipline is about regaining the brother (15). When our prayer is, truly, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven - our desire will be in agreement with what God has already determined in heaven.

    REGAINING THE STRAYING BROTHER. Matthew 18:15-20. ‘The Son of man is come to save that which was lost,’ declared Jesus (Matthew 18:11). The Lord illustrated this with a story of a man who left his ninety-nine sheep to seek out just one lost sheep (Matthew 18:12-13). Jesus affirmed, ‘Even so, it ...read more

  • A Call To Unlimited Forgiveness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 27, 2014
    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,218 views

    The full extent of the law, versus the full extent of grace.

    A CALL TO UNLIMITED FORGIVENESS. Matthew 18:21-35. Peter’s question, “How many times shall I forgive my brother?” (MATTHEW 18:21) arises out of the context of church discipline (cf. Matthew 18:15-20). Perhaps the original grievance was resolved, between one brother and another. The brother was ...read more

  • The Labourers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 30, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,120 views

    An illustration of God's new order of things.

    THE LABOURERS IN THE VINEYARD. Matthew 20:1-16. This parable is part of Jesus’ response to Peter’s question: ‘Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?’ (cf. Matthew 19:27). This challenging part of the reply is framed with a formula concerning the ‘first’ ...read more

  • Christian Baptism

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,539 views

    On the occasion of the administration of Christian Believers' Baptisms: River Krishna, India.

    CHRISTIAN BAPTISM. 1. THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS (Matthew 3:13): "Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptised by him." 2. THE GREAT COMMISSION (Matthew 28:18 -20): "And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ...read more

  • The Question Of The Authority Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 15, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,676 views

    Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to us? The difference between words and action. Time for true repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE QUESTION OF JESUS’ AUTHORITY. Matthew 21:23-32. This conversation follows hard on the heels of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple (Matthew 21:12-16), and the symbolic withering of the fig tree (Matthew 21:18-20). “Who gave you the right to do such things?” demanded the Temple authorities, and ...read more

  • Another Sad Song Of The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 24, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,413 views

    Are we about to reject the Rock of our salvation?

    ANOTHER SAD SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Matthew 21:33-46. The vineyard is a well-known motif for Israel (cf. Isaiah 5:7). We saw it in the parable of the labourers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), and in the example of the two sons whose father asked them to go and work in his vineyard (Matthew ...read more

  • A Marriage Feast For A Royal Son

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,988 views

    The balance between royal invitation, and choice.

    A MARRIAGE FEAST FOR A ROYAL SON. Matthew 22:1-14. Following the failure of the chief priests and Pharisees to lay malicious hands on Jesus (Matthew 21:45-46), Jesus “answered and spoke to them again by parables” (Matthew 22:1). He spoke of the kingdom of heaven being “like unto a king, who made ...read more

  • A Fine Balance: Fulfilling Our Obligations To Both God And The State

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,951 views

    Render to Caesar Caesar’s image, which is on the coin; and to God God’s image, which is on man.

    FULFILLING OBLIGATIONS TO GOD AND STATE. Matthew 22:15-22. 1. Wickedness finds strange bedfellows. The Pharisees denied the Emperor any right to demand tribute money - and whilst they no doubt used the common money for common purposes, they questioned the validity of the coinage (which ...read more
