    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 24, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,044 views

    At first glance this Gospel reading is very uninspiring; and read over it quickly, but there is much more to this story than meets the eye; its message, the social skills and the tantrums hide some secrets that lay hidden. Read on and enjoy …

    Amos 8:1-12 Psalm 52 Colossians 1:15-28 Luke 10:38-42 Summary: At first glance this Gospel reading is very uninspiring; and read over it quickly, but there is much more to this story than meets the eye; its message, the social skills and the tantrums hide some secrets that lay hidden.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 20,951 views

    Some wrong answers, and the right answer, to the most important question of our life. Truths revealed by God versus a misplaced zeal.

    WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? Matthew 16:13-23. The most important question in the whole of our life concerns the Person of Christ. Who is He? What is He to us? Our answer to this question will determine what we believe, how we live, and where we will go when we die. 1. Jesus asked, “WHO DO MEN ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,054 views

    The lessons behind a less well-known miraculous feeding.

    A TWOFOLD STEWARDSHIP. 2 Kings 4:42-44. A certain man brought to Elisha a portion of the first-fruits of his land (2 Kings 4:42). It is not clear whether this was an offering over and above that required by the law (Leviticus 23:9-14), but either way this was a token of good stewardship on the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,678 views

    If you want to be first, learn to be last!

    A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31). About this the disciples were, to say the least, slow on the uptake: ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,425 views

    ‘Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures unto eternal life’ (John 6:27).

    CRAVING THE BREAD OF LIFE. Psalm 78:23-29. This Psalm, the second longest in the Book, demonstrates the cycle of (i) God’s provision for His people/ (ii) their ingratitude and rebellion/ (iii) God’s punishment of them/ (iv) followed by new offers of grace. The passage before us focuses ...read more

  • A Turning Point In The Ministry Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,011 views

    When we set out with Jesus, we can hardly begin to understand what paths He might lead us down to get to our destination. It is not always what we think, but we must implicitly trust Him.

    A TURNING POINT IN THE MINISTRY OF JESUS. Luke 9:51-62. “When the days were being fulfilled for the receiving up of Jesus, He set his face like a flint to go to Jerusalem” (LUKE 9:51). There is a sense of divine destiny about this statement, yet what does it mean? At first we are reminded of ...read more

  • Seventy Sent Forth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,400 views

    We are warned not to delight so much in our gifts and victories as to rejoice in the fact that our names are written in heaven.

    SEVENTY SENT FORTH. Luke 10:1-11; Luke 10:16-20. The first thing we might notice about the appointment of the seventy in this passage is that they were appointed by Jesus (Luke 10:1). It is hazardous for anybody to enter into ministry without the commissioning of Jesus (Romans 10:15). However, ...read more

  • Fire! Baptism! Discerning This Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,178 views

    Division: a declaration of how things will be, rather than an imperative of how they should be.

    FIRE! BAPTISM! DISCERNING THIS TIME. Luke 12:49-56. There is a measure of dissonance as this passage comes crashing through Jesus’ symphony of peace. “Fire!” begins the Greek of Luke 12:49. “Fire I came to cast into the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?” Fire speaks to us of ...read more

  • The Epitaph Of The Ungodly And The Testimony Of The Righteous.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,264 views

    Our confidence rests in the covenant mercy of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

    THE EPITAPH OF THE UNGODLY AND THE TESTIMONY OF THE RIGHTEOUS. Psalm 52:1-9. The superscription of this Psalm associates it with the tittle-tattle tale-telling of a certain Edomite named Doeg, who was Saul’s chief shepherd (1 Samuel 21:7). This man - not wholly untruthfully, but certainly ...read more

  • Awakening To Worship.

     | 2,046 views

    Blessing the LORD for all His gracious benefits.

    AWAKENING TO WORSHIP. Psalm 103:1-8. Psalm 103:1. Sometimes we are sluggish about praising God, so we have to stir ourselves up, searching within ourselves whether there might be anything hindering us from the right worship of the LORD. Having awoken our “soul” to the task, we must delve ...read more

    A promise of a full redemption and restoration.

    A PLEDGE FOR A SURE FUTURE. Jeremiah 32:1-3a, Jeremiah 32:6-15. The wonderful words of hope which are found in Jeremiah 30-33 were spoken whilst Jeremiah was shut up in the court of the prison in the king of Judah's house (Jeremiah 32:2). Jeremiah was accused of committing treason, no less, ...read more

    Faith cures fretting.

    TRUST IN THE LORD. Psalm 37:1-9. PSALM 37:1. Somebody is in trouble, fretting because of the unfairness of life: but the pastor’s responsibility is not to burden the poor soul with a ‘snap out of it’ sort of approach, which often only leads to further despair; but rather to present positive ...read more

    There is no true God in all the earth apart from the God of Israel.

    A LEPER HEALED. 2 Kings 5:1-3, 2 Kings 5:7-15c. Naaman, as commander of the Syrian army, was a “great” man (2 Kings 5:1), expecting “great” things (2 Kings 5:13). The king of Syria held him in high esteem, because “through him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria.” It is good that, so early ...read more

  • Is Not My Word Like As A Fire?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 1, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,084 views

    What is the chaff to the wheat, says the LORD.

    IS NOT MY WORD LIKE AS A FIRE? Jeremiah 23:23-29. Speaking for the LORD, Jeremiah complained that his heart was ‘broken’ within him because of false prophets (Jeremiah 23:9-12). It is one thing to see such ‘folly’ among the Baal worshipers in Samaria. But even the prophets of Jerusalem ...read more
