    The Testimony Of Judah

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,577 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

    Are We Following The Example Of Christ?

     | 4,992 views

    A very short sermon questioning our desire to e discipled. You can't be a follower if you are not following, eh.

    Worshipping Without Words

     | 7,957 views

    A Sinner worships Jesus without speaking a word, but her tears speak what is in her heart.

    TITLE: Worshipping Without Words TEXT: Luke 7:36-50 INTRO: Now, we look at another story that is recorded only in Luke. Sometimes this story gets confused with one in the other gospels, where Mary of Bethany anointed Jesus, but the two incidents take place at different times, in different places, ...read more

    The Song Of The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,774 views

    A best man's love song at a wedding turns out to be a dirge.

    THE SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Isaiah 5:1-7. The first thing that we may notice about this passage, is Isaiah’s relationship with the LORD (Isaiah 5:1). The prophet is speaking for the remnant of Israel, and calls the LORD his Beloved. This echoes the language of Song of Solomon 2:16, where the ...read more

    A Missionary To The Gentiles

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,095 views

    Anticipating the Gentile mission of Acts, Luke shows how it was first initiated by Jesus, through the unlikely figure of the man who came at Jesus from the tombs.

    A MISSIONARY TO THE GENTILES. Luke 8:26-39. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

    “It is impossible to live life having not been offended, but woe to the person through whom they do come! It would be better for him that a millstone be tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea, than to cause one of these ‘little ones’ to stumble.”

    Happy “Refuge” Saturday, Everyone! 4/30/16 Not every child who starts out in church stays in church; in fact, the number of kids and young adults walking away from the faith is ever increasing as time moves on.

    An Easter sermonette, one of eight that will delivered on Good Friday at Colombo Central Corps, Sri Lanka. Short for it is to be translated, in what is a three hour service.

    How many Fridays in a year? Yes but only one is good. Good because of God's goodness not mans. Later knowing that it was now completed, and so the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty,” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of ...read more

    Teaching Through Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 22, 2015
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,632 views

    To be amazed is not the same as being converted.

    TEACHING THROUGH HEALING. Mark 1:21-28. As we re-read Mark’s Gospel - as we must, from time to time - we find it to be a Gospel of two halves. The first half tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher (Mark 1:21-22), who also happened to use healing (or more ...read more

    The Call To Perfect Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,479 views

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,753 views

    Sometimes the capacity to receive answered prayer lies within our willingness to obey the clear-cut commands of Jesus.

    THE NOBLEMAN’S SON. John 4:43-54. After the wedding in Cana, Jesus visited Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and disciples; went up to Jerusalem for the Passover; cleansed the Temple; had His famous encounter with Nicodemus; and conducted an itinerant ministry with His disciples in Judaea ...read more
