    based on 6 ratings
     | 21,184 views

    This was the first great revival.

    THE DAY OF PENTECOST. Acts 2. The feast of Pentecost was held at the end of the wheat harvest, fifty days after the Passover. It was also used as a commemoration of the giving of the law, fifty days after the Exodus. As the disciples continued to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon ...read more

    Who Stands In Awe Is Blessed

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 4, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,298 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

    A Christmas Bible Study

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,745 views

    An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

    A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more

    The Ascension Of Elijah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,096 views

    Passing on the mantle: issues of succession in the church.

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1. Elijah’s ascension was attended by horses and chariots. As Elisha and the sons of the prophets ...read more

    A Hymn To The Mercy Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 4, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,961 views

    The correct response to the love of God, is to put our trust “under the shadow of His wings”.

    A HYMN TO GOD’S MERCY. Psalm 36:5-10. This beautiful meditation on the excellence of God’s loving-kindness, is encompassed within an oracle concerning the transgression of the wicked. Like a beautiful portrait set against a dark and gloomy background, the centrepiece is highlighted by the use of ...read more

    Wrestling In Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,830 views

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

    Good Beginnings, Midway Failures, Final Triumphs

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 21, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,940 views

    Looking beyond our failures, and stepping into the blessings.

    GOOD BEGINNINGS, MIDWAY FAILURES, FINAL TRIUMPHS. Hebrews 11:8-16. Sometimes when we look at our Christian walk and life all we can see are our failures. Healthy self-examination all too easily declines into unhealthy introspection. It is good to be reassured that God views us not as we see ...read more

    The Hall Of Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 27, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,274 views

    Running the race with the heroes of the faith, with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

    THE HALL OF FAITH. Hebrews 11:29-12:2. 1. In the earlier verses of Hebrews 11, the ‘Hall of Faith’ (as I have called it) spoke of faithful individuals, ranging from Abel through Abraham to Moses. Now we have a shift to the plural, emphasising the collective faith of all involved. “By faith THEY ...read more

    Fight The Good Fight Of The Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,838 views

    Flee, follow, fight, lay hold, and obey. The makings of the man of God.

    FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF THE FAITH. 1 Timothy 6:11-16. The title “man of God” (1 Timothy 6:11) is addressed to Timothy in contradistinction to ‘any man who teaches otherwise’ (1 Timothy 6:3). The expression is occasionally used of prophets in the Old Testament. In the New Testament it will come ...read more

    The Widow And The Prophet

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 15, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,108 views

    Grace can truly be said in the household that has received the LORD's grace, and the gift of faith, the gift of prayer, and the gift of answered prayer. All we have to do now is obey.

    THE WIDOW AND THE PROPHET. 1 Kings 17:8-24. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17). This may seem an audacious thing to pray for, but the ...read more

    Testimony Of Paul

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 24, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,900 views

    It is God who gifts us with faith, and who equips us for the ministry He has given us. Ignorance is no excuse. If the chief of sinners can be saved, then so can I, and so can you. To God be the glory.

    PAUL’S TESTIMONY. 1 Timothy 1:12-17. Paul is ‘an Apostle of Jesus Christ according to the command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope’ (1 Timothy 1:1). I. THANKSGIVING. The Apostle gives thanks to the One who strengthened Him for this service, Christ Jesus our Lord. ...read more

    God Shows His Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 30, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 14,114 views

    Our need of salvation met - in God's perfect time - in Jesus' death. Our reconciliation: cause for rejoicing.

    GOD SHOWS HIS LOVE. Romans 5:1-11. Romans 5:8 - “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Those who believe in Jesus and put their trust in Him are made right with God. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to them and they are ...read more

    Accessibility Of The Word Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 6, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,722 views

    But - praise be to God - God has already come down in the Person of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    ACCESSIBILITY OF THE WORD OF GOD. Deuteronomy 30:9-14. The Book of Deuteronomy as a whole, and Deuteronomy 29-30 in particular, are written in terms reminiscent of Ancient Suzerainty treaties. Under certain terms and conditions outlined in the pronouncement of curses and blessings, a ...read more

     | 1,417 views

    God spoke and it was done.

    THE FIRST DAY. Genesis 1:1-5. GENESIS 1:1. “In the beginning” is a temporal expression; it pertains to time. In fact, here it refers to the beginning of time itself; but also to the beginning of Creation. This is the beginning of everything. “In the beginning God.” Before time was, before ...read more

    Trouble At Philippi.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 22, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,713 views

    Diabolical opposition to the gospel.

    TROUBLE AT PHILIPPI. Acts 16:16-34. One of the hazards of church planting is a problem of space: where and when to gather for worship. Of course, small groups can meet in our homes: but the very beginning of gospel work might, in suitable climates, take place outdoors (cf. Acts 16:13). But ...read more
