     | 1,906 views

    doubting leads from fear to strengthening faith

    John 20:19-31 Welcome to ‘Low Sunday,’ the first Sunday of the fifty days of Eastertide. After all the jubilation, misery, and rejoicing of last week, nothing can hold a candle to Holy Week. If you take a few seconds, you can figure out why it is called ‘Low Sunday.’ This Sunday is also called ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,030 views

    Seek, worship and rejoice in Jesus.

    A KING BORN. Matthew 2:1-12. It is unusual for somebody to be born already possessing the title of “King” – but this was the case with Jesus. Matthew’s report simply states that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1): but he quotes the identity of Jesus as “born King” from the lips of the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,174 views

    Make me an offer I can't refuse!

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1). The hewing out of Lady Wisdom’s “seven pillars” speaks of completeness (unlike the ‘folly’ in Edinburgh which was never completed), spaciousness, and endurance. ‘I go to prepare a ...read more

    Bad shepherds versus the Righteous Branch.

    A SHEPHERD ORACLE. Jeremiah 23:1-6. Peter writes to the elders of the church, ‘Shepherd the flock of God, exercising oversight… not as exercising lordship over them, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd has been manifested, you shall receive the unfading crown of glory’ ...read more

  • A Beatific Epiphany Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 22, 2016
    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,996 views

    There are some things in life which we must do alone.

    A BEATIFIC EPIPHANY OF GOD. Exodus 24:12-18. Seventy-four people were called by the LORD to ‘come up’ and ‘worship afar off’ (Exodus 24:1). Each one had a part to play, but not all the same part (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:12; 1 Corinthians 12:28). The seventy elders, for example, were permitted a ...read more

    A new exodus: the voice of joy.

    A SONG OF CONSOLATION. Jeremiah 31:7-14. Jeremiah envisages a time of rebuilding for all Israel (Jeremiah 31:4).

  • Confess And Believe

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 21, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,985 views

    Made righteous through the righteousness of Jesus, which we receive by faith in Him. Whoever believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed. Whoever calls upon His name will be saved. Sincere faith leads to public confession of Christ.

    CONFESS AND BELIEVE. Romans 10:9. According to a Roman historian, the Emperor Claudius ordered all the Jews to leave Rome after public disorders caused by the preaching of the claims of Jesus Christ in the synagogues. This fact is echoed in the Scriptures, where we find the Jewish Christian ...read more

  • Pursuing The Mark

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,369 views

    Paul the persecutor was turned into Paul the pursuer. The Christian life is not static, but vigorously active.

    PURSUING THE MARK. Philippians 3:4-14. The starter’s line for this passage is the Apostle Paul’s polemic against false teachers, whose confidence lies in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-4). “The flesh” here represents self-help religion, which stands contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,781 views

    The Creating Spirit is still at large. Our life is in His hands.

    A CELEBRATION OF THE CREATOR’S PRESENCE IN CREATION. Psalm 104:24-35. Psalm 104 is not only a celebration of the LORD having created all things in the past, but also a celebration of how He is involved in Creation as it is today. This is why the Psalm as a whole does not just slavishly follow ...read more

  • A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken

    The contrast between Mount Sinai and Mount Zion: its inferences and implications in our life.

    A KINGDOM THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN. Hebrews 12:18-29. I. A BOOK OF CONTRASTS. The letter to the Hebrews is full of contrasts - too many to innumerate in a short space.

    Prioritising commitments, bearing the Cross, and counting the cost of discipleship.

    PUTTING JESUS FIRST. Luke 14:25-33. I. Prioritising commitments. Jesus, it has to be admitted, is a great orator. Seeing the crowds following Him, He turned (Luke 14:25), and spoke words that were designed to shock, and even offend His hearers. In a masterstroke of hyperbole, He took their ...read more

    Graduation day for the New Testament Church.

    A PENTECOSTAL HAPPENING IN JERUSALEM. Acts 2:1-21. There is a time and a place for everything - or so the old folks used to say. There was a time for Christmas, and a time for Easter. There was a time for Ascension - and now, a time for Pentecost. The Greek reads, “in the filling-in of the Day ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 9, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,552 views

    Grace cannot be silenced, even in the face of judgment.

    GRACE AMID JUDGMENT. Hosea 1:2-10. This is ‘the word of the LORD that came to Hosea, son of Beeri’ (Hosea 1:1). The name Hosea, like Hoshea, Joshua, Jeshua and Jesus is derived from the verb ‘to save’. Hosea, like his contemporary Amos, prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel during the ...read more
