  • Caring Prayer And Praying Care

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,347 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
     | 6,802 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

     | 6,866 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
     | 9,601 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

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,021 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
     | 8,054 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
     | 8,747 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
     | 6,010 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
     | 9,929 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

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,179 views

    Even our friends might let us down, but God never will.

    GLORY IN THE MIDST OF SUFFERING. 1 Peter 4:12-14; 1 Peter 5:6-11. I. Suffering, and the Christian’s response to suffering, has been a recurring theme throughout Peter’s first letter. This is in keeping with the whole tenor of Scripture: ranging from the trials of patriarch, prophet and Psalmist ...read more

  • Time For True Repentance

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,620 views

    Jesus' coming is delayed to give the greater number of people the greater opportunity to repent.

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

  • The Christian And Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,175 views

    So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. 1 John 3:1-10. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it was ‘while ...read more

  • God Is Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,483 views

    We may not see God in His own Person, but where there is love, there is the evidence that someone has been born of the Spirit of God.

    GOD IS LOVE. 1 John 4:7-21. Every Sunday as I was growing up in Scotland, I would hear the minister of our church repeat these words from the beginning of 1 John 4:7 - “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” This is one of the tests of true Christianity. We cannot claim to have ...read more

  • Who Stands In Awe Is Blessed

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 4, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,334 views

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112:1-10. Like its immediate predecessor, PSALM 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line. PSALM 112:1 can best be represented in English by: “Alleluia. Blessed is the man…” The ...read more

  • I Go A-Fishing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 19, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,545 views

    In the ordinary course of duty we may not always see great success, but when we let the Lord join the party then the extraordinary occurs.

    I GO A-FISHING. John 21:1-19. The miraculous draught of fishes which took place on the shores of Galilee after Jesus' resurrection was not the first instance of its kind. It had occurred similarly at the beginning of His ministry, when He first used Simon Peter's boat as a pulpit. After ...read more
