  • The Question Of The Authority Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 15, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,680 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
     | 11,415 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

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,989 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
     | 8,953 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

  • Implications Of The Ascension Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 5, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,526 views

    Seated in the heavenlies, head over all things, exercising dominion, filling all things for the church.

    IMPLICATIONS OF THE ASCENSION OF JESUS. Ephesians 1:15-23. This single-sentence prayer is a follow-up to the single-sentence praise of Ephesians 1:3-14. God has blessed Paul’s readers with faith (Ephesians 1:15), so the Apostle ceases not to give thanks for them, and continues to pray for them ...read more

  • Prophesying In The Camp

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 6, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,507 views

    The Sovereign Holy Spirit does not always operate where, when, how, with what, or with whom we may expect. Such things are not open to debate.

    PROPHESYING IN THE CAMP. Numbers 11:4-6, Numbers 11:10-16, Numbers 11:24-29. Chips (French Fries) for tea every day seemed a good idea for a Ship’s Company of 180 Cadets in their teens. But chips every day??? We rebelled - and our chips were replaced by some fluffy artificial instant mashed ...read more

  • A Good Wife And A Mean-Spirited Husband

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,221 views

    I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

    A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

  • The Letter And The Spirit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,314 views

    Having embraced the gospel ourselves, we are motivated to share it with others. How? Our sufficiency is in God.

    THE LETTER AND THE SPIRIT. "We are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves;" says Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:5, "but our sufficiency is of God." Paul then goes on to contrast the ministry of the New Testament with that of the Old; the glory that shone in ...read more

  • Sabbath Liberation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,104 views

    The folly of hedging the Sabbath with man-made rules

    SABBATH LIBERATION. Our attitudes to the Sabbath can tell a lot about our Christianity. In Luke 13:10-17, the president of the synagogue obviously felt it was more important to keep the Sabbath, even in the minutiae of man-made rules, than to look after his parishioners: "There are six days ...read more

  • Why I Love Ephesians

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,371 views

    The majesty and practicality of one of the most wonderful books in the Bible.

    WHY I LOVE EPHESIANS: A short outline. It begins with praise to God for all our blessings in Christ. It places the source of our salvation, even of our faith, squarely on the shoulders of God. It proclaims the mystery of salvation, the unsearchable riches of Christ. It reminds the Church ...read more

  • The Great Commission

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,817 views

    The actual going is subservient to the task: the preaching, teaching and baptising... If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). If Immanuel is with us, then we need have no fear. If the Holy Spirit is in us, then we are empowered...

    THE GREAT COMMISSION. Matthew 28:16-20. Jesus’ band of disciples now numbered eleven after the demise of Judas. They were obedient to an appointment to meet Jesus in Galilee (Matthew 28:16). This was where it had all begun: ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’ (Matthew 4:15). Now, back in Galilee, the ...read more

  • Basic Principles Of The Little Commission

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 26, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,548 views

    In the immediate context of this first mission of the disciples, Jesus laid out some basic principles.

    BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE LITTLE COMMISSION. Matthew 10:24-39. This is part of the Missionary Discourse of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-10:42) - the sending of the twelve disciples to seek out none other than ‘the lost sheep of the house of Israel’ (Matthew 10:6). Since the ‘Great Commission’ (Matthew ...read more

  • The Solemn Responsibility Of Christian Witness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,701 views

    The person who receives you, dear Christian, receives Jesus - and He says that “the one who receives Me receives the One who sent Me” (Matthew 10:40).

    THE SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY OF CHRISTIAN WITNESS. Matthew 10:40-42. This is the continuation of what I have called the ‘little commission’ - the Missionary Discourse of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-10:42). We turn now from the missionaries to those who receive them. a) The attitudes and actions indicated ...read more

  • The Attitude Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,647 views

    Following the example of Jesus.

    THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST. Philippians 2:5-11. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…” (Philippians 2:5). As we begin to evaluate this exhortation of the Apostle Paul, it is appropriate to ask some questions, not only of our text, but also of its context. Who is this Christ ...read more

  • The Regal Genealogy Of Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,719 views

    'Jesus, as to the flesh, of the house of David...' (Romans 1:3).

    THE REGAL GENEALOGY OF CHRIST. Matthew 1:1-17. Genealogies are perhaps one part of the sacred account that we are prone to pass over, but we must pause for a moment in the genealogy of Jesus as given in Matthew 1. We have heard of at least one person who, beginning to read the New Testament, was ...read more
