  • All Nations Shall Serve Him

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 6, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,704 views

    As surely as the ordinances of sun, moon and stars remain, there will be a king to sit upon the throne of David. That king is Jesus.

    ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM. Psalm 72:1-7; Psalm 72:10-14. The name of Solomon is associated with Psalm 72, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. Yet it is evident that there were limitations to Solomon’s reign, and the monarchy fell into ...read more

    Remember not the former things...

    BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING! Isaiah 43:18-25. The first point of application for the prophecies of Isaiah 1-35 is the contemporary Assyrian threat, which is finally resolved in the narrative of Isaiah 36-37. After King Hezekiah’s sickness in Isaiah 38 - and the miraculous turning back of the ...read more

  • The Unity Of Hope

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,415 views

    The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

    THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

  • The Holy Spirit, The Comforter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,557 views

    Another Comforter = another of the same - who re-presents Jesus. He is the One who stands beside us to strengthen and empower.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE COMFORTER. John 14:8-17; John 14:25-27. This reading is an excerpt from the ‘Upper Room Discourse’ (John 13:31-16:33). John 14 is one of the most well-known, and best loved, chapters in the Bible. It is our purpose here to concentrate on just one, or perhaps two, of the ...read more

  • The Inclusive Nature Of The Mission Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,137 views

    The inaugural sermon of Jesus, and the refusal of His own people to hear Him.

    THE INCLUSIVE NATURE OF GOD’S MISSION. Luke 4:21-30. In a synagogue in Nazareth, a young man is reading aloud from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He stops mid-sentence at “the acceptable year of the LORD” without mentioning “the day of vengeance of our God” (Isaiah 61:2). As He sits down to ...read more

  • The Word Goes Forth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,258 views

    A metaphor from God's dealings in Creation to describe God's dealings with His Word.

    THE WORD GOES FORTH. Isaiah 55:10-13. I was in India, alone in my room, with the door shut. I read Isaiah 55:10-11. There God was saying, “My Word shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” What an encouragement, I ...read more

  • Entering Rest And Finding Grace

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 27, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,783 views

    Our rest based in the finished work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us hold fast our profession and come boldly to the throne of grace.

    ENTERING REST AND FINDING GRACE. Hebrews 4:1-16. “Let us therefore fear” links this passage with the previous chapter. It has to do with the promise of “entering into His rest”, “lest any of you should seem to come short of it” (Hebrews 4:1). The promise of entering the promised land was ...read more

  • A View From The House Of The Potter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 7, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,275 views

    The surprise here is that the intention of God can be resisted, and if (we) turn He speaks of changing His mind.

    A VIEW FROM THE POTTER'S HOUSE. Jeremiah 18:1-11. On one occasion I was taken to a pottery museum, where one could purchase wares and also see them being made. I had made one or two small pottery items while at school (one of which remained on my mother’s back doorstep long after I had left ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,689 views

    An unjust judge, an importunate widow - and the patience of God.

    AN EXHORTATION TO IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Luke 18:1-8. The Pharisees demanded of Jesus when the kingdom of God should come. Jesus’ unexpected response was that it is here already (Luke 17:20-21)! Jesus then turned to His disciples to advise them concerning what He called ‘the days of the Son of ...read more

  • An Open Letter

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,248 views

    No longer a slave.

    AN OPEN LETTER. PHILEMON 1:1-21. Onesimus was a slave who had escaped from his Christian master, Philemon. Yet in a beautiful irony, having not ‘made it’ alone in the big city, he found himself at last brought under the direct personal influence of “Paul the prisoner” (Philemon 1:1). Many a ...read more

  • Ye Are Complete In Him

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,887 views

    An exhortation and three warnings frame what might be another Christ hymn.

    YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. Colossians 2:6-19. I. The Apostle Paul is concerned that the Colossians should not be “beguiled with enticing words” - or “deluded with beguiling speech” (Colossians 2:4). Our enemy is subtle as a serpent, and would lure away even ‘the very elect, if that were possible’ ...read more

    Importunity "UNTIL..."

    A CITY NOT FORSAKEN. Isaiah 62:6-12. I reside just outside the walls of a quaint old English city - so quaint, that there is still a civil servant who holds the office of City-crier.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,908 views

    The LORD is High for evermore. Psalm 92 verse 8.

    THE GREATNESS OF HIS WORKS. Psalm 92:1-15. This Psalm takes up a common Bible theme: the dichotomy between the “righteous” (Psalm 92:12) and the “wicked” (Psalm 92:7). However, first and foremost, taken as a whole, it is about the LORD. The LORD is mentioned seven times in this ‘Psalm or ...read more

     | 5,574 views

    If we are going to emulate anybody, we must emulate Jesus.

    FOLLOWERS ON THE JOURNEY HOME. Philippians 3:17-4:1. The Apostle Paul had been telling of the forward motion in his own Christian life (Philippians 3:13-14), and encouraged his readers to be like-minded with him (Philippians 3:15-16). The writer even went so far as to set himself up as an ...read more
