    An Ominous Note

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,679 views

    "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish!" Without the mercy and help of God, the cry goes forth a second time: "Cut it down!"

    AN OMINOUS NOTE. Luke 13:1-9. There has been an ominous note ringing in the Gospel of Luke ever since Jesus set His face like a flint, determined to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). This was the turning point of Luke’s Gospel, and has implications both for Jesus Himself (Luke 13:33), and for those ...read more

    Covenant People In The Dock.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,568 views

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

    Grace Amid Judgment

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 9, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,648 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

    Put On Humility

     | 4,819 views

    For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

    Apostle Paul in our main scripture text is cautioning every believer to be truthful(honest)as you evaluate yourself, not thinking of yourself or believing that you are better than you are. I categorize this phrase under "pride." When you think about pride, it is saying to yourself and ...read more

    Comfort in the certainty of God's Word.

    COMFORT YE… Isaiah 40:1-11. We have before us a passage which may well be very 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 concerning ...read more

     | 8,067 views

    A best man's love song at a wedding turns out to be a dirge.

    THE SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Isaiah 5:1-7. The first thing that we may notice about this passage, is Isaiah’s relationship with the LORD (Isaiah 5:1). The prophet is speaking for the remnant of Israel, and calls the LORD his Beloved. This echoes the language of Song of Solomon 2:16, where the ...read more

    Lessons For Modern-Day Sowers Of The Word

    Contributed by Ray Pritchard on Jul 3, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,722 views

    Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

    Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more
