  • Our Citizenship In Heaven.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 868 views

    If we have been made conformable to Jesus' death, then we will be made conformable also to His resurrection (PHILIPPIANS 3:21).

    OUR CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN. Philippians 3:17-21. The Apostle Paul had been telling of the forward motion in his own Christian life (cf. Philippians 3:13-14), and encouraged his readers to be like-minded with him (cf. Philippians 3:15-16). The writer even went so far as to set himself up as an ...read more

  • Thanksgiving And Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 790 views

    We do not lack knowledge, but need rather to tap into that which we already have.

    THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER. Colossians 1:3-12. After introducing themselves, and acknowledging that those to whom they are writing are true Christians [i.e. 'saints and faithful brethren in Christ' (Colossians 1:1-2)], Paul and Timothy next “give thanks… praying always for you” (COLOSSIANS ...read more

    The second significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    THE HEALING OF THE SON OF A NOBLEMAN. John 4:46-54. Returning to Cana, where Jesus had turned the water into wine, He was met by a royal official from Capernaum whose son was sick, even to the point of death. The man entreated Jesus to come down and heal his boy (JOHN 4:46-47). “Except ye see ...read more

  • Easter Evening.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,556 views

    Our wisdom is to receive by faith what we do not yet understand.

    EASTER EVENING. Luke 24:13-49. A man named Cleopas and his travelling companion were on their way back from Jerusalem, walking the seven miles to a village named Emmaus. Their conversation was very much taken up with concerns about the death of Jesus. A stranger drew near, and walked with ...read more

  • A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,447 views

    The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

    A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service. Perhaps Isaiah 61:1-2 was the reading of the day, but Jesus deliberately chose where to end the reading. Luke 4:18-19 stops short of ‘the ...read more

  • Abram Steps Out In Faith.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,622 views

    Leaving all to follow Jesus.

    ABRAM STEPS OUT IN FAITH. Genesis 12:1-4. Our story begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more

  • A Place Of Security For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,087 views

    Jesus speaks in no uncertain terms of the status of those who continue in unbelief, and the security of His own sheep.

    A PLACE OF SECURITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. John 10:22-30. Place is perhaps as important as time in this text. It was winter, and Jesus was walking under the shelter of Solomon’s Colonnade in the Temple (John 10:22-23). This was evidently a part of the original Temple which had remained ...read more

  • A Path From Babel To Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,320 views

    Babel speaks of "confusion", and is a byword for all that is wrong with the world. Only Pentecost could bring order.

    A PATH FROM BABEL TO PENTECOST. Genesis 11:1-9. The height of our tallest building does not necessarily impress God: He has to “come down” even to see it (Genesis 11:5). Babel - to the Babylonians - spoke of ‘the gateway to the gods’: and yet man was there found still aspiring to get where he ...read more

  • Grace For The Graceful

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 25, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,276 views

    The grace of God continues for those who are already demonstrating the fruits of grace in their life.

    GRACE FOR THE GRACEFUL. Acts 9:36-43. I am sometimes at pains to emphasise how God’s grace abounds for sinners (cf. Romans 5:20), but in the instance before us we see how God’s grace also continues to abound for a woman who is already a “disciple”. Doctor Luke, the author of Acts, is at ...read more

  • The Explanation Of Peter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,564 views

    Who was I that I could withstand God?

    PETER’S EXPLANATION. Acts 11:1-18. The turning point in Luke’s Gospel was when Jesus ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). The turning point of Luke’s second volume, the Book of Acts, is found in the breaking down of objections to the inclusion of Gentiles in the church, ...read more

  • The Encounter Of Openness And Truth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,410 views

    It is God who sets things in motion, and God who opens hearts to the Gospel.

    THE ENCOUNTER OF OPENNESS AND TRUTH. Acts 16:9-15. It is a bit of a cliché, but ‘when God closes one door, He opens another’. This was certainly the experience of Paul and his companions: Silas (cf. Acts 15:40), Timothy (cf. Acts 16:1-3), and Luke (cf. Acts 16:10). We are not told how, ...read more

  • Following Hard After God, Even In The Midst Of Trouble.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,499 views

    His right hand upholds us.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE. Psalm 63:1-11. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God. It was as if David was saying, ‘I know thee, but would know thee more.’ The Psalmist is not just on the fringes of faith, like the ...read more

  • Born Again By The Word Of Truth.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 855 views

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

  • The Great Nevertheless.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 381 views

    The testimony of the returning backslider.

    THE GREAT NEVERTHELESS. Psalm 73:23-28. The Psalmist Asaph’s opening proposition is ‘Truly God is good to Israel’ (cf. Psalm 73:1). But then he goes on to admit that he had lost sight of this by allowing himself to become envious at the prosperity of the wicked, contrasting their apparent ...read more

  • Intoxicated Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 15, 2015
     | 5,742 views

    1) The Prohibition (Ephesians 5:18a), 2) The Product (Ephesians 5:18b), 3) The Principle (Ephesians 5:18c)

    A common summer event is the music festival. Located on large public venue's, they are a mixture of music, food and crowds. Naturally festivals differ one from another, but some of the more extreme bear little difference from ancient pagan rites. Drugs, psychedelic lighting, ear–pounding ...read more
