    The Two Advents

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,408 views

    The uncompromising preaching of John. Bearing fruit that proves our repentance. Practical moral guidance. Redirecting Messianic expectations.

    THE TWO ADVENTS. Luke 3:7-18. In the fullness of the times (cf. Galatians 4:4), John came ‘preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins’ (Luke 3:1-3). Being 30 years old, you might expect him to be starting his priesthood in the Temple in Jerusalem (cf. Numbers 4:3), but God ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 174 views

    Desperation gives way to elation when we trust the LORD.

    PRAYER AND PRAISE. Psalm 28:1-9. There is only one God who hears and answers prayer. His name is YHWH: the One who ‘is, and was, and is to come’ (cf. Revelation 1:8); the maker of the heavens and the earth (cf. Psalm 121:2). He is ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Ephesians ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 121 views

    The church’s cause is the LORD’s own cause.

    A PLEA FOR RELIEF. Psalm 74:19-23. The Psalmist is addressing the LORD when he says, “O deliver not the soul of THY turtledove unto the multitude” (PSALM 74:19a). The soul of a believer is compared to a turtledove. Jesus addresses the Church as ‘MY dove’ in Song of Songs 2:14. Doves were kept ...read more

    Some Observations Of Solomon.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 128 views

    Words fitly spoken.

    SOME OBSERVATIONS OF SOLOMON. Proverbs 25:6-14. 1. “Come up hither” (Proverbs 25:6-7). This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (cf. Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 262 views

    The ratification of the Book of the Covenant: 'not without blood.'

    THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT. Exodus 24:4-8. This short passage informs us of the writing (EXODUS 24:4a) and ratification of the “Book of the Covenant” (EXODUS 24:7a). This book consists of the case laws and moral exhortations of Exodus chapters 21 to 23. Moses appears to have written these down ...read more

    A Prayer For Protection.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 311 views

    "Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man" (Psalm 140:1a).

    A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION. Psalm 140:1-9. This is a Psalm of David, no doubt from the time when he was pursued by his enemies in the wilderness. The Psalm switches between singular foes: pointing perhaps particularly to king Saul and his three thousand men at arms; and Doeg and the Ziphites, who ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 180 views

    “It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover” (Exodus 12:27).

    THE SACRIFICE OF THE LORD’S PASSOVER. Exodus 12:21-28. EXODUS 12:21. Moses gave specific instructions to “the elders of Israel,” the heads of families, to “choose out a lamb” and “kill the Passover.” EXODUS 12:22. The “blood” of the lamb was to be placed in a “basin,” and “a bunch of hyssop” ...read more

     | 628 views

    Comfort in the certainty of God's Word.

    COMFORT YE. Isaiah 40:1-9. We have before us a passage which may well be remarkably familiar to us: yet please do not allow its very familiarity to breed contempt. This is a little Gospel, a sort of proto-Gospel written by the prophet many years before the event. Our task is to ask Isaiah ...read more

    The Glories Of The Messiah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 13, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 529 views

    This is a song about love: but principally about the love of Christ and the Church (cf. Ephesians 5:32).

    THE GLORIES OF THE MESSIAH. Psalm 45:1-6. The Psalmist wrote of things beyond his natural knowledge. As a prophet, he sought diligently and inquired after the grace that was to come (1 Peter 1:10). Then he spoke and wrote as the Spirit of God led him (2 Peter 1:21). I). Psalm 45:1-2. ...read more

    A Matter Of Priorities.

     | 541 views

    The unfaithfulness of God's people.

    A MATTER OF PRIORITIES. Hosea 6:4-6. HOSEA 6:4. The two halves of this verse are two examples of parallelism. First, the LORD laments over the two kingdoms of Israel: “Ephraim” in the north, and “Judah” in the south. The loving Father asks each in turn, “What shall I do unto you?” And we can ...read more

    The Reign Of Messiah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 418 views

    The nature and extent of His dominion.

    THE REIGN OF MESSIAH. Psalm 72:1-8. The name of Solomon is associated with this Psalm, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. However, Christians recognise Jesus as the fullest fulfilment of the ideal king in this chapter. Psalm 72:1. As ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 643 views

    “Who is so great a God as our God?” (PSALM 77:13b).

    REMEMBERING THE WORKS OF THE LORD. Psalm 77:11-20. PSALM 77:11. “I will remember the works of the LORD.” This we must do, for ‘Hitherto hath the LORD helped us’ (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12). ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever’ (cf. Hebrews 13:8), so we let our yesterday inform our ...read more

     | 530 views

    The consequences of Adam's first sin.

    WHERE ART THOU? Genesis 3:9-19. Adam was the representative head of the human race, and when he partook of the forbidden fruit he brought disaster and death upon all of his descendants. Spiritual death, separation from God, was immediate. Suddenly man and his wife realised that they were ...read more

     | 575 views

    'Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil' (Ephesians 6:10).

    THE TRICKS AND DECEPTIONS OF THE DEVIL. Genesis 3:1-6. Perhaps our first parents did not know the history of the fall of Lucifer, the day star in Isaiah 14:12-21 and Ezekiel 28:11-19. But it did not take long for the cunning serpent to draw them into his pernicious scheme to undermine the LORD ...read more

     | 564 views

    Deliverance and Discontentment, Provision and Testing.

    QUAIL AND MANNA: TOKENS OF HIS PRESENCE. Exodus 16:2-7a. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey. The ten plagues, the first Passover, the deliverance out of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea all lay behind them. Yet now, here in the ...read more
