  • Faith In The Midst Of Trials

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,599 views

    Addressing a present distress.

    FAITH IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS. 1 Peter 1:3-9. It is no mistake that the first letter of the Apostle Peter is prominent in liturgical calendars in the season immediately following Easter. Those churches and Christian communities who use the book as a kind of catechism for new converts certainly ...read more

  • Reverent Brethren, Redeemed Pilgrims

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,015 views

    This world is not our home. We are transients, travellers passing through to a better place.

    REVERENT BRETHREN, REDEEMED PILGRIMS. 1 Peter 1:17-23. Christians are like transient travellers passing through a foreign land. Abraham was a sojourner in Canaan, but was never a Canaanite. Israel dwelt in Egypt, but lived separately from the Egyptians. We are in the world, yet not of the world ...read more

  • Peculiar Pilgrims

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,048 views

    Even when we are not great orators, it is no bad thing to own the good news concerning Jesus Christ as a valid subject for conversation.

    PECULIAR PILGRIMS. 1 Peter 2:1-12. Jesus told His disciples, ‘You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth’ (Acts 1:8). When persecution broke out after the martyrdom of Stephen, the church was dispersed throughout Judea and Samaria, the ...read more

  • Milk For Adults

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,741 views

    We are a spiritual house and a holy priesthood, and we offer spiritual sacrifices to God.

    MILK FOR ADULTS. 1 Peter 2:2-10. Whether we are new in the faith or have been following Jesus for many years, we are encouraged to get back to basics, to return to our first love (Revelation 2:4-5), to long after sound Word-based teaching. Peter speaks of “the pure milk of the word” (1 Peter ...read more

  • Bearing Up

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,009 views

    The sufferings of Jesus were unique in that He suffered once for all, the just for the unjust. But we are still sometimes called to bear up and endure grief, suffering unjustly. Our model was laid down in the patient pattern of His sufferings.

    BEARING UP. 1 Peter 2:19-25. The Apostle Peter uses his address to domestic servants (1 Peter 2:18) to illustrate the calling of all Christians to share in the sufferings of Christ. “For this is grace,” he quite literally says (1 Peter 2:19): this is acceptable; this is thankworthy - if out of ...read more

  • The Victory Of The Suffering Of Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,923 views

    In His victory we are made victorious, even when we suffer unjustly, and for His cause.

    THE VICTORY OF CHRIST’S SUFFERING. 1 Peter 3:13-22. Who will harm us if we do that which is good (1 Peter 3:13)? The question is rhetorical. If God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? Yet even if we do seem to suffer for righteousness’ sake (1 Peter 3:14), we have the blessing of ...read more

  • Glory In The Midst Of Suffering

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,174 views

    Even our friends might let us down, but God never will.

    GLORY IN THE MIDST OF SUFFERING. 1 Peter 4:12-14; 1 Peter 5:6-11. I. Suffering, and the Christian’s response to suffering, has been a recurring theme throughout Peter’s first letter. This is in keeping with the whole tenor of Scripture: ranging from the trials of patriarch, prophet and Psalmist ...read more

  • Time For True Repentance

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,618 views

    Jesus' coming is delayed to give the greater number of people the greater opportunity to repent.

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

  • The Christian And Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,170 views

    So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. 1 John 3:1-10. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it was ‘while ...read more

  • God Is Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,480 views

    We may not see God in His own Person, but where there is love, there is the evidence that someone has been born of the Spirit of God.

    GOD IS LOVE. 1 John 4:7-21. Every Sunday as I was growing up in Scotland, I would hear the minister of our church repeat these words from the beginning of 1 John 4:7 - “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” This is one of the tests of true Christianity. We cannot claim to have ...read more

  • Who Stands In Awe Is Blessed

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 4, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,329 views

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112:1-10. Like its immediate predecessor, PSALM 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line. PSALM 112:1 can best be represented in English by: “Alleluia. Blessed is the man…” The ...read more

  • The Key To Righteous Living

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 15, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,410 views

    Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to keep and fulfill it. We also are required to be obedient to the law - not indeed as a means of salvation (which it could never be) - but as an expression of our love and service.

    THE KEY TO RIGHTEOUS LIVING. Matthew 5:17-20. 1. Jesus’ statement is emphatic:- “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). The righteousness of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the end of the law, the one to whom ...read more

  • But I Say Unto You

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 18, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,030 views

    Getting into the heart of the law with Jesus.

    BUT I SAY UNTO YOU... Matthew 5:21-26. I. In His recent wilderness struggles with the enemy, Jesus used the formula ‘It stands written’ in reply to each temptation (Matthew 4:4-10). The Word of God is its own authority against the wiles of the devil. Furthermore, when the devil quoted a passage ...read more

  • The Call To Perfect Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,591 views

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more

  • The Glory Of The Messiah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,437 views

    We sometimes need to step aside from the busyness of life for more intimate communion with God. The will of Jesus is that all those given to Him by the Father should behold His glory.

    THE GLORY OF THE MESSIAH. Matthew 17:1-9. The One who referred to Himself as the ‘Son of man’ had just been acknowledged as the Son of God (Matthew 16:16). Jesus demonstrated the necessity of the Cross, and looked forward to His Second Coming. The Lord also promised a preview of the coming of ...read more
