    Isaac And Ishmael

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,164 views

    When faith fails, then flesh takes over.

    ISAAC AND ISHMAEL. Galatians 4:21-31. 1. The History. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD ...read more

    Our Part In The Refining Process

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,204 views

    This seemingly random selection of exhortations follows on from Hebrews 12:29, and represents our part in the refining process which God is working in our lives (cf. Ephesians 4:1).

    OUR PART IN THE REFINING PROCESS. Hebrews 13:1-8; Hebrews 13:15-16. I. PRACTICAL LOVE (Hebrews 13:1-3). 1. “Brotherly love” (Hebrews 13:1). Jesus is ‘not ashamed’ to call us brethren (Hebrews 2:11-12). The readers of Hebrews are viewed as ‘holy brethren’ (Hebrews 3:1). This section begins ...read more

    Walking In The Spirit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 30, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,164 views

    Sowing to the flesh versus sowing to the Spirit.

    WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. Galatians 6:1-16. ‘If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit,’ said Paul towards the end of the previous chapter (Galatians 5:25). The Greek word translated here as ‘walk’ speaks of our deliberately ‘getting in line with’ the Holy Spirit’s leading in ...read more

    A Stirring In The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,986 views

    It is a mystery, but our unchangeable God wants us to understand that He is not without compassion.

    A STIRRING IN THE HEART OF GOD. Hosea 11:1-11. Through His speaking in the first person, and in what He says, this chapter offers us a unique view of the tenderness of the LORD toward His people (Hosea 11:1a). Moses reminded the people that the LORD ‘did not set His love upon’ them for any ...read more

    The Plumb-Line Test.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,370 views

    Aligning ourselves with God, as opposed to going against His Word.

    THE PLUMB-LINE TEST. Amos 7:7-17. When I was at High School, we were building a garage. We were taught how to mix mortar, lay bricks, and to check everything was lined up straight with a plumb-line. The work had been begun by those of the Year above mine: but in mid-January 1968 ‘Hurricane ...read more

    Grace For The Graceful

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 25, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,181 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
     | 4,512 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
     | 3,387 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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,458 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

    Warnings And Promises For Evil Days

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,441 views

    Times and signs.

    WARNINGS & PROMISES FOR EVIL DAYS. Luke 21:5-19. Every so often we are confronted with all the uncertainty that arises from the dawn of what seem to be evil days. One hundred years ago people wondered if the fierce battles of World War One represented the Apocalyptic Armageddon. Then came ...read more

    Christ The End Of The Law

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,749 views

    Righteousness by law versus righteousness by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    CHRIST THE END OF THE LAW. Romans 10:5-15. Jesus is the fulfilment of all that the law signified, and met all its righteous demands against ourselves. He is the end of the law as a possible means of our becoming righteousness. In Romans 10:4, the Apostle Paul says (literally): ‘For the end of ...read more

    The Great Reversal

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 15, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,777 views

    Just when the tree of David seems to be left without hope, without offspring, this Branch emerges to establish justice and righteousness in the world: the LORD our Righteousness.

    THE GREAT REVERSAL. Jeremiah 33:14-16. In a double metaphor concerning gardening and building, the prophet Jeremiah was commissioned by the LORD not only ‘to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy and to throw down’ but also ‘to build and to plant’ (Jeremiah 1:10). There was certainly enough ...read more

    A Place Of Security For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,061 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
     | 11,291 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

    Amazing Faith Of A Centurion

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,138 views

    I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Luke 7:9).

    AMAZING FAITH OF A CENTURION. Luke 7:1-10. It is interesting to note that, in this busy little cameo, two of the main characters remain offstage throughout. In Luke’s record, the incident takes place immediately after the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). Jesus had said all He was going to say ...read more
