    Grace, Repentance, And Forgiveness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,524 views

    The bitterness that we feel when we first realise what we have done is compared to the bitterness of losing an only son. Perhaps in this we begin to understand what it cost the LORD God to secure the free gift of our salvation.

    GRACE, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS. Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 13:1. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ loved us before we loved Him (1 John 4:19). God ‘so loved’ us that He sent His Son Jesus into this world to die for our sins (John 3:16). Christ died and rose again, and ever intercedes ...read more

    Prophesying In The Camp

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 6, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,543 views

    The Sovereign Holy Spirit does not always operate where, when, how, with what, or with whom we may expect. Such things are not open to debate.

    PROPHESYING IN THE CAMP. Numbers 11:4-6, Numbers 11:10-16, Numbers 11:24-29. Chips (French Fries) for tea every day seemed a good idea for a Ship’s Company of 180 Cadets in their teens. But chips every day??? We rebelled - and our chips were replaced by some fluffy artificial instant mashed ...read more

    Fight The Good Fight Of The Faith

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,979 views

    Flee, follow, fight, lay hold, and obey. The makings of the man of God.

    FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF THE FAITH. 1 Timothy 6:11-16. The title “man of God” (1 Timothy 6:11) is addressed to Timothy in contradistinction to ‘any man who teaches otherwise’ (1 Timothy 6:3). The expression is occasionally used of prophets in the Old Testament. In the New Testament it will come ...read more

    Bringing People And Churches Together Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2019
     | 3,093 views

    In this day of conflict and disunion, we need to recover this sense that we are all one family of God, to dedicate ourselves to peaceful resolution of conflicts.

    Tuesday of the 16th Week in Course 2019 St. Liborius I suppose like many Baby Boomers one of the most memorable films of my lifetime was the Cecile B DeMille epic The Ten Commandments. It was his second stab at commemorating the Exodus, and his only one both with sound and color. Who could forget ...read more

    All of us — every single one of us — is inwardly corrupt. How do we heal the corruption? [Watch video: https://youtu.be/TdZjy3sBoW4]

    Scripture Reading: Mark 7:14-23 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” After he had left the crowd and entered the house, ...read more

     | 6,515 views

    A sermon for the start of Lent 2021

    I think this is the point where I am supposed to talk about Lent being a penitential time, and time for giving things up, but that seems patent nonsense in 2021. In the last eleven months we have given up more than we ever wished for longer than we would have wished. And we have lost some people ...read more

    At The Right Hand Of God Series

    Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Feb 21, 2021
     | 2,132 views

    We all profess that Jesus sits at the right hand of God in heaven. Well, what’s he doing there? [Watch video: https://youtu.be/76wXEd7zvhA]

    Scripture Reading: Mark 16:13-19 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said ...read more

    Jesus Never Missed An Opportunity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 21, 2019
     | 2,476 views

    Jesus never missed an opportunity to use daily events as a way to reach the hearts of His listeners.

    Tuesday of the 25th Week in Course This short Gospel given to us by St. Luke has parallel stories in the other Synoptics, and the amount of ink that has been spilled over the years by interpreters must run to the thousands of liters. I have had experience of anti-Catholic acquaintances throwing ...read more

    Judge Not

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 22, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,784 views

    Some thoughts on judgment and prayer, and the Golden Rule.

    JUDGE NOT. Matthew 7:1-12. When Jesus says, “Judge not” (Matthew 7:1), He is not bidding us suspend our faculty of discernment. If that was the case, then He would not have gone on to describe certain people as “dogs” or “swine” (Matthew 7:6)! How could we make that identification without ...read more

     | 1,478 views

    There are four main ways people approach Revelation. We need to get our initial orientation right. The start of the process to bring in Jesus' kingdom - the court sits.

    When I was in my twenties I worked as an engineer on power station construction projects. On one occasion a colleague was overseeing the construction of a concrete foundation for a very large fan. The foundation was many metres long and approximately rectangular.

    This is the 14th sermon in the series.

    HOLY HATRED PSALM 119:113-120 INTRODUCTION A. If the title Holy Hatred did not grate against your Christian sensibilities, it probably should have (Matt 5:43-45). B. Was David’s declaration of his hatred for the double-minded a prophetic utterance? Was it a weakness of the flesh at which God ...read more

    'Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world' (1 John:4:4).

    TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE. 2 Kings 6:14-23. The king of Syria suspected that he might have a spy in his camp, because the king of Israel somehow kept evading his ambushes. But no, informed one his servants, it was not one of us, but Elisha the prophet who kept telling the king of Israel ‘the words ...read more

    “The voice of the LORD.”

    THE SONG OF THE THUNDERSTORM. Psalm 29:1-11. 1. The thunderstorm. Storm clouds gather over the Mediterranean. The thunder rolls inland over the cedars of Lebanon, and lightning strikes strip the cedars bare. Even the mountains of the North seem to be shaken to their very foundations. The storm ...read more

    Speaking with authority in the face of opposition.

    WITNESSING IN THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY. Luke 12:1-12. LUKE 12:1. Crowds of people were thronging Jesus, so much so that they trampled upon one another. But Jesus’ priority was to speak “to His disciples first.” He began to say, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” LUKE ...read more
