  • Waiting For God

    We know from whence our help comes...

    WAITING FOR GOD. Psalm 40:1-11. “Waiting I waited” (Psalm 40:1) begins the Hebrew of this familiar and much loved Psalm. This gives rise to the Latin title, itself a dynamic equivalent, which translates “Expectantly I expected.” This appears to be not so much anxious hope, as some have ...read more

    It is amazing how much the Bible has to say about the Poor.

    PURE RELIGION: DOING GOD’S WORD. James 1:22; James 1:27. A. James 1:22 - “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” 1. Be careful how you hear. Jesus says: ‘Who hath ears to hear, let him hear’ (Matthew 13:9). 2. But it is not enough only to hear. The ...read more

  • Rich And Poor In The Church Of Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013

     | 7,630 views

    There are no 'untouchables' with God!

    RICH AND POOR IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. James 2:1-17. James 2:1. The Greek of this section of the letter of James begins somewhat abruptly: “My brethren, not with partialities!” The impact of the whole sentence is: “Do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons.” ...read more

  • Faith And Works

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,488 views

    The practical faith of Rahab stands in contrast to the platitudes of the person who sent the hungry empty away, and failed to clothe the naked.

    FAITH AND WORKS. James 2:14-26. A person is making what seems to be a credible claim to “faith” - but (as yet) there is no evidence in their lives of their allegiance to Jesus Christ. They seem to have all the right words, but (so far) “works” are lacking. James 2:14. What is the profit in the ...read more

  • Bridling The Tongue

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,966 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more

    Worldly wisdom versus the 'wisdom from on high.'

    CHRISTIAN WISDOM. James 3:13-4:3; James 4:7-8. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:5) James has used an illustration of two sources in his discussion of the divisiveness of the tongue (James 3:10-12). Now he wants to get to the heart of the matter. It is not, after all, ...read more

  • Caring Prayer And Praying Care

     | 7,345 views

    Holistic Healing within the Church.

    CARING PRAYER AND PRAYING CARE. James 5:13-20. In the previous verses (James 5:7-12), James exhorted us to patience. The writer mentioned the sufferings of the prophets as an example of endurance (James 5:10). However, patience need not be passive: it will also see us engaged in prayer. AN ...read more

  • Use Of The Word Precious By Peter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,799 views

    What does the Bible teach about faith? What makes the Blood so special? The Church is built upon this Rock, and the Scriptures furnish us with many promises.

    PETER’S USE OF THE WORD “PRECIOUS”. The word "precious" conveys: something of great value; something greatly loved or treasured by someone. PRECIOUS FAITH. 1 Peter 1:7; 2 Peter 1:1. The Apostle Peter speaks of “precious faith” (1 Peter 1:7; 2 Peter 1:1). What does the Bible teach ...read more

  • Resurrection Hope

     | 6,863 views

    It is into this lively living hope that Christians are begotten again.

    RESURRECTION HOPE. 1 Peter 1:3. What significance has what happened in Jerusalem nearly 2,000 years ago got for us today? We feel the reverberations of current world events as reported by the media, but the impact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ reaches not only across the miles, but ...read more

  • Faith In The Midst Of Trials

    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,600 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

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,017 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
     | 8,050 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

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,742 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
     | 9,924 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
