  • Unbelieving Behaviour And The Grace Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,999 views

    The folly of living as if there is no God. A people made righteous by grace. Their persecution and deliverance.

    UNBELIEVING BEHAVIOUR AND THE GRACE OF GOD. Psalm 14. The first verse of this Psalm is well known as an argument against those who deny the very existence of God (Psalm 14:1). I am sure I have heard it preached in that way, I know I have read it so, and maybe have even mentioned it in such a ...read more

  • A Solemn Feast Day

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,273 views

    A summons to resounding praise.

    A SOLEMN FEAST DAY. Psalm 81:1-7. This Psalm opens with a summons to resounding praise (Psalm 81:1-3), with reasons to do so attached (Psalm 81:4-7). It continues with an address by God, beginning with a commandment, with a promise attached (Psalm 81:8-10); and going on to upbraid the people ...read more

  • Honey Out Of The Rock

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,295 views

    Even now, God is waiting to forgive.

    HONEY OUT OF THE ROCK. Psalm 81:8-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:8. “Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, ...read more

  • Reaching Out To Samaria

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,974 views

    The gospel is not only for Jerusalem and Judea, but also for Samaria, and all the nations.

    REACHING OUT TO SAMARIA. Acts 8:5-25. I. ORIGINS OF THE SAMARITANS 1. The schism (1 Kings 11:26-40; 1 Kings 12) 2. The city of Samaria (1 Kings 16:23-24) 3. The province of Samaria (2 Kings 17:5-41) People of the land unfriendly to returning Jews 1. Hindered building the Temple (Ezra ...read more

  • The Day Of Pentecost

    based on 6 ratings
     | 21,143 views

    This was the first great revival.

    THE DAY OF PENTECOST. Acts 2. The feast of Pentecost was held at the end of the wheat harvest, fifty days after the Passover. It was also used as a commemoration of the giving of the law, fifty days after the Exodus. As the disciples continued to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon ...read more

  • Who Stands In Awe Is Blessed

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 4, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,252 views

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112:1-10. Like its immediate predecessor, PSALM 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line. PSALM 112:1 can best be represented in English by: “Alleluia. Blessed is the man…” The ...read more

  • Wrestling In Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,754 views

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

  • The Glory Of God Returns To The Temple

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,317 views

    The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former … and in this place will I give peace.

    GOD’S GLORY RETURNS TO THE TEMPLE. Haggai 2:1-9. The rebuilding of the Temple of God at Jerusalem about 537 BC met with early discouragements and setbacks. It is in this context that we first hear the prophet Haggai (Ezra 5:1). The whole of Haggai's short canonical book is designed to lift ...read more

  • Awaiting The King

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,045 views

    The Day of the LORD may be fearsome to some people, but not to all people.

    AWAITING THE KING. Luke 21:25-36. This chapter contains Luke’s version of Jesus’ temple teaching about the future. The teaching consists of Jesus’ answer to a question posed by the disciples (Luke 21:7). The first part of His discourse (Luke 21:8-24) dealt with the fall of Jerusalem which would ...read more

  • A Remarkable Sign

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2015
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,915 views

    A babe, lying in a manger.

    A REMARKABLE SIGN. Luke 2:1-20. It is interesting to be revisiting the Gospel of Luke, with Luke’s impeccable, almost classical Greek style. As we return to the all-too-familiar account of the birth of Jesus, it is humbling to discover that some of the imagery of earlier sermons has fallen short ...read more

  • A Christmas Bible Study

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,705 views

    An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

    A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more

  • The Ascension Of Elijah.

    based on 7 ratings

    Passing on the mantle: issues of succession in the church.

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1. Elijah’s ascension was attended by horses and chariots. As Elisha and the sons of the prophets ...read more

  • A Hymn To The Mercy Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 4, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,894 views

    The correct response to the love of God, is to put our trust “under the shadow of His wings”.

    A HYMN TO GOD’S MERCY. Psalm 36:5-10. This beautiful meditation on the excellence of God’s loving-kindness, is encompassed within an oracle concerning the transgression of the wicked. Like a beautiful portrait set against a dark and gloomy background, the centrepiece is highlighted by the use of ...read more

  • Waiting For The News

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,724 views

    Salvation hope: comfort from God.

    WAITING FOR THE NEWS. Isaiah 52:7-10. We live in an age when people love to hear news. Perhaps it gives us a sense of community in this rapidly shrinking ‘global village’. It is something of a cliché amongst those of the news-gathering professions that ‘bad news is good news’ - but most ...read more

  • Choral Symphony No. 2

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 27, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,944 views

    At last, the tears are wiped away from our eyes.

    CHORAL SYMPHONY No. 2. Revelation 7:9-17. As in Revelation 5:11-14, the Lamb is the focus of the praises of the redeemed here in Revelation 7:9-10. We are presented with an innumerable number of worshippers, drawn from “every nation, tribes, peoples, and tongues” (Revelation 7:9). This ...read more
