  • Darkness And Light

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,180 views

    We must be careful whose image we reflect in our lives.

    DARKNESS AND LIGHT. 2 Corinthians 4:3-6. The Apostle Paul likens the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to a perfume, which to some people - “the saved” (2 Corinthians 2:15-16) - is a source of sweetness, light and life. To others - “the lost” (2 Corinthians 4:3) - it is the poignant poisonous ...read more

  • Waiting For God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,402 views

    We know from whence our help comes...

    WAITING FOR GOD. Psalm 40:1-11. “Waiting I waited” (Psalm 40:1) begins the Hebrew of this familiar and much loved Psalm. This gives rise to the Latin title, itself a dynamic equivalent, which translates “Expectantly I expected.” This appears to be not so much anxious hope, as some have ...read more

  • But I Say Unto You

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 18, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,017 views

    Getting into the heart of the law with Jesus.

    BUT I SAY UNTO YOU... Matthew 5:21-26. I. In His recent wilderness struggles with the enemy, Jesus used the formula ‘It stands written’ in reply to each temptation (Matthew 4:4-10). The Word of God is its own authority against the wiles of the devil. Furthermore, when the devil quoted a passage ...read more

  • The Call To Perfect Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,573 views

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more

  • New Wine With Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,267 views

    The passing of old things, and the ushering in of new.

    NEW WINE WITH JESUS. John 2:1-11. The Gospel of John provides us with an unashamedly theological overview of the person of Christ. We are introduced to our Lord under the Genesis motif “in the beginning” (John 1:1), and as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). Throughout the book, John’s preferred ...read more

  • A Cosmic Declaration

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,932 views

    The individual decisions of Psalm 1, brought up a notch to the corporate level in Psalm 2.

    A COSMIC DECLARATION. Psalm 2. At some point in history, Psalms 1 and 2 were lumped together as one single Psalm. This gives us a hint concerning the unity of the Book of Psalms. In fact, if we step back from disputes concerning human authorship, we will find the whole Bible to be the coherent ...read more

  • Galilee Of The Nations

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,239 views

    Jesus reaches out beyond the borders of life.

    GALILEE OF THE NATIONS. Matthew 4:12-23. In Egypt, Joseph Ben-David was instructed to take the holy family back to Israel, because Jesus had things to do there. Joseph took Jesus and Mary to Nazareth in Galilee. There they dwelt, and there Jesus grew up (Matthew 2:20-23). The years passed by, ...read more

  • Healing The Leprosy Of Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,519 views

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more

  • Faith As Trust

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 9, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,075 views

    Faith in the midst of adversity.

    FAITH AS TRUST. Psalm 62:5-12. 1. Context David asserts in Psalm 62:1, that, “Truly” his soul waits upon God, from whom comes his salvation. The Psalmist claims, in no uncertain terms, that his trust is grounded in God (Psalm 62:2). This is a statement of faith which he has reached through the ...read more

  • The Ministry Of Baptism

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,624 views

    The word of God did not come to the palaces of the great or the mighty in church or state, but to John, in the wilderness.

    THE MINISTRY OF BAPTISM. Luke 3:1-22. People may be impressed with names and titles, but God is not. As Peter told the household of Cornelius, God shows no partiality: “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). Tiberius was Emperor in Rome. Pontius Pilate was governor in Judea. Herod was ...read more

  • No Other Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,857 views

    To add anything to the gospel of the grace of God is to deny the efficacy of the Cross of Jesus.

    NO OTHER GOSPEL. Galatians 1:1-12. From the outset, the tone of the Apostle Paul’s letter to “the churches of Galatia” (Galatians 1:2b) is one of disappointment. The opening signature “Paul, an apostle” is immediately followed by a negative assertion - “not from men nor through man”; and a ...read more

  • Blessings And Woes In The Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 20, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,094 views

    Jesus pronounces His followers Blessed, and pronounces woes against those who are taking their ease in this world.

    BLESSINGS AND WOES IN THE GOSPEL. Luke 6:17-26. The context here teaches us that Jesus had spent a whole night alone on the mountain praying to God (Luke 6:12); then He called His disciples to draw near and from them He chose His twelve Apostles (Luke 6:13). Jesus came down with them all and ...read more

  • The God Kind Of Love

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,948 views

    God has given us His grace to aspire towards this high standard of AGAPE Love.

    THE GOD KIND OF LOVE. Luke 6:27-38. The Sermon on the Plain is directed towards those who ‘came to hear’ Jesus (Luke 6:17). It was ‘toward His disciples’ that Jesus first lifted up His eyes (Luke 6:20). That emphasis is repeated at the beginning of the present passage (Luke 6:27). These are ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,120 views

    Transfiguration: the power of the glory to come.

    THE FIRST TASTE OF THE GLORY. Mark 9:1-13. Jesus spoke of a time when He, ‘the Son of man’ would appear ‘in the glory of His Father with all the holy angels” (Mark 8:38). Then He made the surprising announcement, “That there be some that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they ...read more
