  • I Love The Lord Because.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,430 views

    Returning to our rest in Him.

    I LOVE THE LORD BECAUSE. Psalm 116:1-9. If I was asked why I love the LORD, I might well answer: because He heard and answered my prayer (Psalm 116:1). Yet this may, at first glance, appear self-serving: what would I have to say for myself if my prayers had not been answered in the way that I ...read more

  • God Is My Helper.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,019 views

    Prayer starts with God, not us.

    GOD IS MY HELPER. Psalm 54:1-7. The superscription to this Psalm associates it with a particular act of betrayal. David was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 23:15); and his neighbours, members of his own tribe, reported his whereabouts to his pursuers (1 Samuel 23:19). However, in the ...read more

    Perhaps you have played the childhood game, Ring Around the Rosie.

    Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down Matthew 6: 1 - 6 Intro: Do you remember as a child singing “Ring Around The Rosie”? It is unknown what the earliest version of the rhyme was or when it began. The game has a group of children form a ring, dance in a circle around a person, and stoop or fall to the ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,380 views

    ALL who are in Christ Jesus are accepted by God. We have no right to refuse any whom God has received.

    THE INCLUSIVENESS OF THE CHURCH AGE. Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-8. The idea here seems to be that the community of God’s people should “preserve justice and do righteousness” (Isaiah 56:1). The reason is not far to seek: “for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed”. ...read more

  • Things Planned Long Ago

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,239 views

    The ultimate triumph of the gospel.

    THINGS PLANNED LONG AGO. Isaiah 25:1-9. This passage begins in song (Isaiah 25:1), and ends in song (Isaiah 25:9), with a feast in between (Isaiah 25:6-8). The first song is a solo, “You are my God” (Isaiah 25:1) and begins with praise to the LORD for “the wonderful things” that He has ...read more

    Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. Psalm 107 verse 28.

    THE STORM A CALM. Psalm 107:1-3. Psalm 107:1. This Psalm, from the outset, is a summons to thanksgiving. The LORD is good, and His mercy everlasting. We are perhaps quick enough to pray, to 'make our requests known unto God' (Philippians 4:6) when we are in trouble: but do we remember ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,798 views

    The outworking of the mercies and compassion of the LORD, in the context of chastening.

    HOPE AMID CHASTENING Lamentations 3:22-33 “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed” (Lamentations 3:22a). The Hebrew word translated “mercies” is “hesed”, and speaks of God’s steadfast love, His covenant mercy. The fact that “we are not consumed” is based in the ...read more

  • An Everlasting Throne

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 14, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,142 views

    Nevertheless: The faithfulness of God.

    AN EVERLASTING THRONE Psalm 89:27-37. There is a tension in this Psalm, between the LORD’s promise of an everlasting dynasty for the line of David (Psalm 89:3-4; Psalm 89:28), and the complaint of the Psalmist (Psalm 89:38). However, the LORD’s “Nevertheless” (Psalm 89:33) trumps the ...read more

     | 2,457 views

    The word of God is effectually working in you who believe.

    THE GOSPEL OF GOD. 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13. Paul is continuing to speak about the Thessalonian reception of the gospel message from the point of view of the messengers. 1 Thessalonians 2:9. Now, still addressing them as “brethren” (cf. 1 Thessalonians 2:1), he reminds them of what they ...read more

    The day of the Lord and the children of Light.

    WAKEFUL WATCHING. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. The Apostle has already spoken concerning the status of the Christian dead at the return of Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,807 views

    Having asked the LORD to “show me now thy way,” Moses next waxed bold to ask, “I beseech thee, show me thy glory.”

    THE PRESENCE AND GLORY OF THE LORD. Exodus 33:12-23. 1. Show Me Thy Way (Exodus 33:12-17). EXODUS 33:12.

    Speaking as a prophetess, Deborah gave Barak a directive from the LORD.

    A MODEL OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE. Judges 4:1-7. JUDGES 4:1-2. At the very outset of this short passage we discover that war MIGHT come against the LORD’s people as a direct result of their sin. This simple fact is echoed throughout the book of Judges: “And the children of Israel again did evil in ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 648 views

    Nobody should be required to work more than six days a week.

    THE SANCTITY OF THE SABBATH. Deuteronomy 5:12-15. The Sabbath is to be “kept” and “sanctified” (i.e. set apart for God) - as the LORD our God has commanded (DEUTERONOMY 5:12). It is to be ‘remembered’ (cf. Exodus 20:8) - which implies that it was already known about prior to the giving of the ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 28, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,498 views

    WE HAVE HEARD THE JOYFUL SOUND. Psalm 89:1-4, Psalm 89:15-18. The Psalmist Ethan twice applauds the LORD’s mercy and faithfulness (PSALM 89:1-2). This reassurance is rooted in the LORD’s covenant promise to David (PSALM 89:3). The “seed” whose throne is “for ever” (PSALM 89:4) ultimately ...read more
