  • A Critique Of Pharisaic Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 20, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,134 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

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 27, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 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
     | 15,064 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
     | 12,816 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
     | 10,388 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

  • The Glory Of The Messiah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,439 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

  • The Testimony Of Judah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,775 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
     | 11,438 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

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,896 views

    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

  • The Goodness And Severity Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 16, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,585 views

    If the LORD holds back from judgment, it is not because of any inability on His part. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD. Nahum 1:1-7. We live in an age when people feel uncomfortable with the idea of a jealous God (Nahum 1:2), who condemns the wicked. Even some Christians, and sadly some Christian teachers and preachers amongst them, seem to want to drive a wedge between the ...read more

  • Can These Bones Live?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 22, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,599 views

    How long-dead sun-bleached bones revived, and become an exceeding great army.

    THE RESURRECTION OF THE DRY BONES. Ezekiel 37:1-14. When confronted with insurmountable difficulties we often ask: “Can these bones live?” Yet the question originates with God, and is addressed to man. The LORD thereby challenges us within our seemingly impossible situation - whatever it may ...read more

  • God In The City

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 23, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,556 views

    A word picture of the justice and mercy of God, set against the dark backdrop of a rebellious people.

    GOD IN THE CITY. Zephaniah 3:1-5. A Christian applied for a job which would involve helping some of those on the margins of society. ‘Why would you want to work in this God-forsaken place,’ asked the interviewer. ‘Because it is not God-forsaken,’ replied the candidate. This short passage of ...read more

  • The Four Craftsmen

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,650 views

    Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6).

    THE FOUR CRAFTSMEN. Zechariah 1:18-21. The four horns (Zechariah 1:18) in this vision represent the nations which have scattered Israel (Zechariah 1:19; Zechariah 1:21). Horns are also used in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. Animals use horns to thrust and to overpower. The four craftsmen ...read more

  • Lessons In The Temptation Of Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Beard on Mar 4, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,036 views

    A study of the temptation of Jesus Christ, and lessons in perseverance that we can apply in our daily Christian walks.

    I’ll admit it. I was this close to titling this article “The Temptation of Jesus, and Why We’re All Wussies”. Luckily, cordiality and meekness won out, and so we have been left with the current title of this piece. Still, the main point stands. In comparison to Christ, we ...read more

  • The Flight Into Egypt

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 4, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,316 views

    After our exile in the dark places of Egypt we are summoned to return to the place we came from, chastened and up-built by the experience which we have been through, and equipped for whatever may lay ahead.

    THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. Matthew 2:13-15; Matthew 2:19-23. We have already established that Joseph Ben-David was a dreamer (Matthew 1:20). Although his angelic visitations took place in dreams, in visions of the night (Job 20:8), they were not nebulous apparitions. A real, tangible, substantial ...read more
