  • The Solemn Responsibility Of Christian Witness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,703 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

    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
     | 5,720 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

  • Truth And Mercy Meet In The Cross

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 9, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,998 views

    Help is at hand: the glory of the Lord is about to be revealed in the face of Jesus Christ.

    TRUTH AND MERCY MEET IN THE CROSS. “Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other” (Psalm 85:10). In Psalm 85 we have first a prayer (Psalm 85:1-7), then what has been termed “an answer of peace” (Psalm 85:8-13). The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, ...read more

  • Words Of Comfort

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 9, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,162 views

    With that superlative peace and such like promises, why should our hearts be troubled?

    WORDS OF COMFORT. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me” (John 14:1). These are precious words of comfort from the lips of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Cross was imminent, and no doubt a sense of foreboding had dampened the Passover celebrations of the little ...read more

     | 3,604 views

    Preaching AHEAD of Jesus' coming to a place and people.

    THE PURPOSE OF CHRISTIAN WITNESS AND MISSION. Matthew 11:1. Matthew 11:1 really belongs to the end of Matthew 10. In this verse we discover the whole purpose of Christian witness and mission. The places to which - and more importantly the people to whom - the Lord is sending His disciples are ...read more

  • The War Against Sin

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,786 views

    'Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin' (Hebrews 12:4).

    THE WAR AGAINST SIN. Matthew 15:10-20. The scribes and Pharisees brought an accusation to Jesus concerning His disciples (Matthew 15:2). Jesus exposed their hypocrisy with a counter-question (Matthew 15:3), a counter-argument (Matthew 15:4-6), and a counter accusation (Matthew 15:7-9). This ...read more

  • The Sovereignty Of God And Human Responsibility

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 18, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,412 views

    There is no pleasing some people. If they make up their minds not to put their trust in Jesus, any excuse will suffice to prevent commitment.

    THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY. Matthew 11:16-30. A) The children were out playing on the streets. ‘Let’s play weddings,’ suggested the girls: but the boys would not. ‘Let’s play funerals,’ countered the boys: but the girls would not. A preacher came, austere in his ...read more

  • The Sower, The Seed, And The Soil

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 21, 2014
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,403 views

    No matter how good the preaching, the Word of God only takes root in hearts prepared by the Holy Spirit.

    THE SOWER, THE SEED, AND THE SOIL. Matthew 13:1-9; Matthew 13:18-23. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. The Lord entered into a boat and sat and taught, whilst the crowds stood on the seashore. The boat served as a ...read more

  • The Trial Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,295 views

    The speaking God makes His own case.

    THE TRIAL OF GOD. Isaiah 44:6-8. The LORD is deeply grieved by His people’s tendency towards idol worship. Again and again He asserts His superiority over the nations, whose ‘gods’ are nothing but dumb idols (1 Corinthians 12:2). Not only does the LORD put the false gods on trial, but He is ...read more

  • Participating In The Triune God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 14, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,728 views

    Through the grace of Christ we encounter the love of God, and participate in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

    PARTICIPATING IN THE TRI-UNE GOD. 2 Corinthians 13:11-14. The final imperatives of this letter seem quite abrupt, almost staccato, but they sum up the situation which gave rise to the challenges of the previous four chapters. The closing benediction comes as a pleasant surprise, and something of ...read more

  • Making Our Complaint To The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 17, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,998 views

    Rather than moaning to one another, grumbling about our plight, we should go to the LORD, and lay it out before Him.

    MAKING OUR COMPLAINT TO THE LORD. Jeremiah 20:7-13. Jeremiah had been put in the stocks - by the church governor, no less - for having the audacity to speak the Word of the LORD in church (Jeremiah 20:1-2)! Even then, there was no stopping Jeremiah telling it as it is, speaking forth the words ...read more

  • Food For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,482 views

    When we 'feed' on the means of grace we are not only spiritually, but also physically, fortified for the journey.

    FOOD FOR THE JOURNEY. 1 Kings 19:4-8. The vengeful Queen Jezebel had the power and the authority to have the prophet Elijah executed, and let him know so (1 Kings 19:1-2). Hearing this, Elijah fled (1 Kings 19:3). There are times when flight is not so much cowardice as wisdom - and it is in ...read more

  • The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,320 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

  • All Is Well

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,997 views

    Our common faith was expressed so aptly in the words of Dame Julian of Norwich - but these words were anticipated and exceeded by far by another great woman in today's Scripture passage.

    ALL IS WELL. 2 Kings 4:18-26. In England’s original ‘second City’ - Norwich - there is a little church named after an all-but-forgotten Saint Julian, where worship is still conducted to this very day. Yet the church is not remembered for its patron, but for a certain 14th century recluse who ...read more
