  • The Testimony Of Judah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,771 views

    Judah finds both repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE TESTIMONY OF JUDAH. Genesis 44:18-34. I have often wondered why the account of Joseph’s plight in Egypt is interrupted by a chapter about his half-brother Judah (Genesis 38). However, this part of the narrative (Genesis 37-50) is headed ‘the generations of Jacob’ (Genesis 37:2). The whole of ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,435 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

  • Worship And Word

    Worship in context: words of warning

    SINGING PRAISE, AND LISTENING TO THE WORD. Psalm 95. In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote. So when the praise-leader sang “O Come let us sing unto the LORD” (Psalm 95:1), the congregation knew to join in the singing of ...read more

  • A Critique Of Pharisaic Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 20, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,129 views

    To say and to do not, versus the grace of humility.

    A CRITIQUE OF PHARISAIC HYPOCRISY. Matthew 23:1-12. Turning away from the Pharisees, Jesus addressed both the crowds and His own disciples (Matthew 23:1). From the outset, Jesus acknowledged the legitimacy of the Pharisees as a party within Judaism: they “sit in Moses’ seat” (Matthew 23:2). ...read more

  • A Call To Active Watchfulness

     | 12,930 views

    Are we really ready to meet Him?

    A CALL TO ACTIVE WATCHFULNESS. Matthew 25:1-13. The parable of the ten virgins comes on the back of a call to watchfulness, which is illustrated by the faithfulness of a dutiful servant as opposed to the unfaithfulness of an evil servant (Matthew 24:42-51). The contrast is shifted into the ...read more

  • A Right Use Of Our Talents

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 15,062 views

    Our stewardship of what God has entrusted to us.

    A RIGHT USE OF OUR TALENTS. Matthew 25:14-30. A “talent” (Matthew 25:15) was a small gold coin valued at the equivalent of fifteen years national minimum wage. Whatever currency we translate that into, it is bound to be tens of thousands - and more. Five talents was enough to provide one of our ...read more

  • Accountability Before Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 2, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,813 views

    The Great Assize.

    ACCOUNTABILITY BEFORE JESUS. Matthew 25:31-46. This passage speaks to us of our final accountability before Jesus. Many people will acknowledge our accountability before God, whatever that may mean to them: but there is no reckoning with God without Jesus (John 14:9). This is not just for those ...read more

  • A Psalm Of Proclamation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 12, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,384 views

    Light dawns for the righteous, and joy is sown for the upright in heart (Psalm 97:11).

    A PSALM OF PROCLAMATION. Psalm 97:1-12. I. This Psalm is not just another enthronement Psalm: but a declaration of the One whose kingdom has been - and is being, and will yet be - revealed in creation, providence, and redemption. “The LORD reigns” (Psalm 97:1) - not because I say so, or because ...read more

  • A Perfect Saviour

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,334 views

    Whether viewed as the babe in a manger, or as the man upon the Cross; as the risen Lord, or as the King upon the throne - Jesus is well able to identify with us in the midst of our own perplexities in this life.

    A PERFECT SAVIOUR. Hebrews 2:10-18. I. The Father deemed it an appropriate method to secure our salvation by sending His Son into this world to be one with us (Hebrews 2:10-11). This was determined from all eternity, and was not some kind of afterthought (John 3:16). Jesus came willingly, ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,524 views

    Importunity "UNTIL..."

    A CITY NOT FORSAKEN. Isaiah 62:6-12. I reside just outside the walls of a quaint old English city - so quaint, that there is still a civil servant who holds the office of City-crier. This is a man with a bell and a loud booming bellowing voice, who makes public announcements in public places. ...read more

  • Faith As Trust

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 9, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,103 views

    Faith in the midst of adversity.

    FAITH AS TRUST. Psalm 62:5-12. 1. Context David asserts in Psalm 62:1, that, “Truly” his soul waits upon God, from whom comes his salvation. The Psalmist claims, in no uncertain terms, that his trust is grounded in God (Psalm 62:2). This is a statement of faith which he has reached through the ...read more

  • A Prophet Like Moses

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,118 views

    Jesus is the Prophet like unto Moses, and all His words are truth.

    JESUS: A PROPHET LIKE MOSES. Deuteronomy 18:15-20. 1. A Prophet raised up by God (Deuteronomy 18:15). John the Baptist was asked, ‘Are you that Prophet?’ (John 1:21). His answer was an emphatic, ‘No!’ So people began to wonder if it was Jesus (John 6:14). 2. From your own people (Deuteronomy ...read more

    A Communion for the New Year.

    THE FELLOWSHIP OF PARTICIPATION. 1 Corinthians 10:16-21. 1. We have fellowship in the cup, which is a sharing in the benefits of the blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16); 2. We have fellowship in the breaking of bread, which represents His broken body (1 Corinthians 10:16). 3. We who ...read more

  • Wrestling In Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,872 views

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

  • The Apostleship Of Paul

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,146 views

    Paul had a personal encounter with the resurrected Lord, and was chosen, called, commissioned and sent by Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Apostleship of Paul. Galatians 1:11-18. Paul's testimony is that he is “the least of the apostles,” but he still saw the risen Lord and is a witness to the resurrection “as one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:8-9). Paul asserted his apostleship by saying, “Am I not an apostle? ...read more
