    Ruth And The Restorer Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,501 views

    Boaz is the restorer of life, granting Naomi restoration and fullness. Thus does Jesus give life and hope to His own.

    RUTH AND THE RESTORER OF LIFE. Ruth 4. It is beautiful to see the way that the LORD restored the broken line of the clan of Ephrathah. Naomi, whose name means Lovely, renames herself Mara, Bitterness. However, her new name never caught on: she is always called Naomi, and in the end must lift ...read more

    Hope In The Midst Of Trials

    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,527 views

    Facing up to the LORD from within an experience of darkness.

    HOPE IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS. Job 23:1-9; Job 23:16-17. “When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). An active faith may question suffering - but it will not abandon God. In fact, the example of Job demonstrates that the closer we are to God, the more audacious our ...read more

    The Norm Of Reciprocity Series

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Jul 26, 2016
     | 4,802 views

    This is part of a series of very brief messages that can be used in church newsletters for stewardship.

    25 ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your ...read more

    An Essential Article Of The Christian Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 6, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,014 views

    Death is not the end.

    AN ESSENTIAL ARTICLE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. Luke 20:27-38. The Sadducees, the ruling class in the Jerusalem Temple, flatly denied the resurrection of the body (Luke 20:27). They failed to find this teaching in their only authoritative Scriptures, the five books of Moses (Genesis to ...read more

    From Victim To Victor: The Widows Mite

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,926 views

    A contrast between acquisitive Scribes, and a gift given out of penury.

    FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR: THE WIDOW’S MITE. Mark 12:38-44. In our previous reading, Jesus pronounced one Scribe, ‘Not far from the kingdom of God’ (Mark 12:34). Yet Jesus’ opinion of the Scribes in general was not unlike His opinion of the Pharisees (cf. Luke 11:43). ‘The Scribes and the ...read more

    A Place Of No Water

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2016
    based on 16 ratings
     | 13,274 views

    We may well find, like Moses, that the answer is already to hand.

    A PLACE OF NO WATER. Exodus 17:1-7. Moses must have been pretty near the end of his tether (Exodus 17:4). After all, the LORD had already heard the cries of His people in their bondage (Exodus 3:7), and sent Moses to them: but it had been all Moses could do to convince them to accept ...read more

    A Safe Place

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 29, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,227 views

    A present trust in our ever-present LORD. He has been with us in all our yesterdays, and will be with us in all our tomorrows.

    A SAFE PLACE. Psalms 71:1-6. This short excerpt from Psalms 71 is a strong declaration of confidence in the LORD, based on long experience. Psalms 71:1a. A declaration of present, personal trust in the Personal God. “In You, O LORD, I put my trust.” We cannot trust in the impersonal. ...read more

    A Sequence Of Sayings

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,009 views

    A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

    A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

    God Sent Me Here

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,313 views

    When Joseph finally met his brothers again, he was able to say that, what THEY had meant for evil, God had meant for good.

    GOD SENT ME HERE. Genesis 45:1-15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf. Genesis 37:3), Joseph was sold by his brethren for twenty pieces of silver (Genesis 37:28). Favoured by His Father (Luke 3:22), Jesus ‘came unto His own, and His own ...read more

    Compassion: The Healing Touch

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,713 views

    It is never a fruitless exercise when we bring others to Christ.

    COMPASSION: THE HEALING TOUCH. Mark 6:30-34; Mark 6:53-56. It was with some measure of excitement that the twelve apostles returned from their first outreach. They had fulfilled their commission, and were keen to report to Jesus on all that they had said and done (Mark 6:30). If ever there was a ...read more

    Breaking Down The Walls

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,686 views

    Church, in the final analysis, defines a people who are in the world but not of the world - ministering to the world.

    BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS. Ephesians 2:11-22. Church. A building or a people? Churches. Buildings constructed over supposed holy sites, in which various forms of worship take place. Some of these original citadels have disappeared, their walls removed to build alternative edifices. The problem ...read more

    Making Our Complaint To The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 17, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,057 views

    Rather than moaning to one another, grumbling about our plight, we should go to the LORD, and lay it out before Him.

    MAKING OUR COMPLAINT TO THE LORD. Jeremiah 20:7-13. Jeremiah had been put in the stocks - by the church governor, no less - for having the audacity to speak the Word of the LORD in church (Jeremiah 20:1-2)! Even then, there was no stopping Jeremiah telling it as it is, speaking forth the words ...read more

    He Is Able Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 28, 2015
     | 12,007 views

    In the darkest times, God is prepared to accomplish great things to the praise of His glory. He is able.

    “I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.” [1] Unapologetically, the message today is meant for Christians—followers of Christ the Lord. This is appropriate since the text was ...read more

    Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,990 views

    A short appeal to persevere in prayer.

    IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Matthew 15:21-28. Sometimes in the round of life it seems that we are praying by rote - and sometimes not praying at all, but rather ‘saying prayers’. I was impressed with the importunity of the woman of Canaan who approached Jesus in Matthew 15:21-28. Yes folks, faith ...read more

    The Solemn Responsibility Of Christian Witness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,735 views

    The person who receives you, dear Christian, receives Jesus - and He says that “the one who receives Me receives the One who sent Me” (Matthew 10:40).

    THE SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY OF CHRISTIAN WITNESS. Matthew 10:40-42. This is the continuation of what I have called the ‘little commission’ - the Missionary Discourse of Jesus (Matthew 9:35-10:42). We turn now from the missionaries to those who receive them. a) The attitudes and actions indicated ...read more
