  • A Heart For God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,667 views

    Psalm 19 has been called the most majestic of David’s Psalms. It falls into two main sections dealing respectively with Creation and Covenant, with an application to follow. These seemingly distinct parts form one unified, progressive whole.

    A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19. In July 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (formerly D/1993 F2) broke apart and collided with the far side of Jupiter. On that occasion I preached on “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1), and wondered at the perfection of God’s creation. God placed the earth ...read more

    Victory in Jesus!

    THE LITTLE CANTATA. Psalm 98:1-9. The Psalmist is calling us to sing of the mighty acts of the LORD whereby He has gotten Himself the victory (Psalm 98:1), secured our salvation, and demonstrated His righteousness (Psalm 98:2). This reaches back to the Exodus, when Moses and Miriam celebrated ...read more

    July 21, 2013 Making of an Apostle Jesus is walking through a town, when He sees that the townspeople are about to stone a woman. He asks, “Why are you going to stone her?” A voice comes from somewhere in the crowd that proclaims, “Because she is a sinner.” Jesus ...read more

  • The Shedding Abroad Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,348 views

    Acts 2 verses 33-35 are strangely, and sadly, not found anywhere in the weekly lectionary. I have sought to address them here, in their immediate context.

    THE "SHEDDING ABROAD" OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 2:32-36. This is a compact set of verses, brim-full of theological gems: i. The crucifixion of Jesus (Acts 2:36); ii. His resurrection (Acts 2:32); and iii. His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33). The passage is also ...read more

    Wanted: A Better David 2 Samuel 7:1-17 The meteoric rise to power of King David is the stuff of a Hollywood movie, an old Hollywood movie, anyway. It is a story of a humble shepherd boy who rose to be King of Israel. At was a life full of adventure, danger, and intrigue. David as a youth slays the ...read more

  • A Covenant For The Nations

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,007 views

    The covenant established with Abraham is not just about the land, or circumcision - but it is also about God's plan of redemption for the nations, via the cross of Jesus.

    A COVENANT FOR THE NATIONS. Genesis 17:1-7; Genesis 17:15-16. Abram was ninety-nine years old. Ishmael, his son by his wife’s slave girl Hagar, was thirteen. Now, after a long silence, the LORD spoke anew to Abram. When we try to work out God’s purposes on our own strength, as Abram and Sarai ...read more

    The LORD watches over His people.

    THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. Psalm 127. This is a “song of degrees,” sung upon the ascent to Jerusalem for worship. It is “for” - or about - Solomon. David had wanted to build a house for the LORD, but the LORD had replied that it was He who would build a “house” - that is, a family and a future ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,820 views

    Jesus goes walkabout into Galilee, seeking and saving that which was lost.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new disciples ...read more

    Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's church.

    OH THAT YOU WOULD REND THE HEAVENS! Isaiah 64:1-9. When we pray for the whole state of Christ’s church, as we must do given the Lord’s own example (John 17:9), we should encourage ourselves by recalling past mercies. In the context of this passage, Isaiah has been gradually building up through ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,727 views

    Every Christian has a part to play.

    THE CALL OF THE FIRST DISCIPLES. Mark 1:14-20. 1.

     | 8,752 views

    Philip preaches on Isaiah 53.

    THE ETHIOPIAN AMBASSADOR. Acts 8:26-40. Many centuries ago, long before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah foresaw the suffering of “the Servant of the LORD” in dramatic language which hid nothing of the horror and the power of the vision which was disclosed to him. This same prophecy has ...read more

  • A Model Of Ministry

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 9, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,407 views

    We must learn to become all things to all men, that we might indeed WIN/GAIN some for Christ to SAVE.

    A MODEL OF MINISTRY. 1 Corinthians 9:16-23. The Apostle Paul has argued that, as their minister, he had every right to expect a wage from the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 9:14). However, and somewhat surprisingly, he then turns the idea on its head: ‘Nevertheless, we have not used this ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,141 views

    When we believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, our faith also will be accounted as righteousness.

    NOT THROUGH LAW. Romans 4:13-25. The Apostle Paul has already established that Abraham was not justified (made righteous) by works, otherwise he would have grounds of boasting - and who can boast before God? (Romans 4:2). Neither was Abraham justified by circumcision, since that rite was not ...read more
