  • The Hall Of Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 27, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,275 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

  • Testimony Of Paul

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,901 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.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 14,113 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

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,835 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

    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,759 views

    Salvation hope: comfort from God.

    WAITING FOR THE NEWS. Isaiah 52:7-10. We live in an age when people love to hear news. Perhaps it gives us a sense of community in this rapidly shrinking ‘global village’. It is something of a cliché amongst those of the news-gathering professions that ‘bad news is good news’ - but most ...read more

    Jesus is Lord, and He is coming...

    TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA MINOR. Revelation 1:4-8. GREETINGS Revelation 1:4.

  • At The Feet Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 1, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,084 views

    When our work proceeds out of a devotion to Jesus, we will not be without our critics.

    AT THE FEET OF JESUS. John 12:1-8. It has been remarked as remarkable that on three occasions when we meet Mary of Bethany in the Scriptures, she is found at the feet of Jesus. In Luke 10:39 she is sitting at the feet of Jesus. In John 11:32 Mary is prostrated at His feet. In John 12:3 she is ...read more

    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.

  • 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

    The Day of the LORD may be fearsome to some people, but not to all people.

    AWAITING THE KING. Luke 21:25-36. This chapter contains Luke’s version of Jesus’ temple teaching about the future. The teaching consists of Jesus’ answer to a question posed by the disciples (Luke 21:7). The first part of His discourse (Luke 21:8-24) dealt with the fall of Jerusalem which would ...read more

  • A Remarkable Sign

    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,951 views

    A babe, lying in a manger.

    A REMARKABLE SIGN. Luke 2:1-20. It is interesting to be revisiting the Gospel of Luke, with Luke’s impeccable, almost classical Greek style. As we return to the all-too-familiar account of the birth of Jesus, it is humbling to discover that some of the imagery of earlier sermons has fallen short ...read more
