    Come Let Us Reason Together.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,607 views

    The failure of our efforts and the glory of Christ's work.

    COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10). It is all quite shocking: how dare he expose our comfortable, upright congregation to such strong language? After all, ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 3, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,040 views

    The obedience of Christ elicits, draws out, the obedience of Christians.

    A CONTEXT FOR THE HYMN. Philippians 2:1-13. The word “If” that opens this passage might better be translated as “Since” (Philippians 2:1). The sense is, “If there is any encouragement in Christ (and there is), if any consolation in love (and there is), if any fellowship (sharing) in the Spirit ...read more

     | 7,017 views

    A wake-up call to the Church.

    A COMMISSION OF COMPASSION. Matthew 9:35-10:8. The first thing we notice as we look at this introduction to what has been styled ‘The Little Commission’ (as distinct from the better known ‘Great Commission’ of Matthew 28:18-20) is that all true Christian mission is based in the teaching and ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 652 views

    'For the hardness of your heart he wrote this precept' (Mark 10:5).

    A NAUGHTY QUESTION. Mark 10:2-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was worse than mischievous in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MARK 10:2). I assert this on two ...read more

    Witnessing to Christ's great salvation.

    SOLIDARITY IN PRAISE. Isaiah 12:1-6. The motto of the City of Glasgow in Scotland is, ‘Let Glasgow flourish.’ Though rarely known in full, it continues, ‘by the preaching of the Word and the praising of His Name.’ So not only does the Word of the Lord pass from mouth to mouth, but also His ...read more

    Explores Jesus' zealous defense of God's holiness, emphasizing His role as the new temple and the active force of God's sovereignty in our lives.

    Good morning, beloved. It's a joy to gather together again in this sacred space, to be in the company of fellow believers, and to stand on the common ground of our shared faith. There's a certain comfort in knowing that we are all here seeking the same thing - a deeper understanding of God's word ...read more

     | 1,835 views

    Acknowledging woman as the complement of man.

    NOT GOOD TO BE ALONE. Genesis 2:18-24. Man is not just another animal. Both physically, and morally, ‘Man was made upright’ (Ecclesiastes 7:29). After all, man was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). God ‘breathed into his nostrils the breath of life’ (Genesis 2:7). (‘Breath’, ...read more

    A CONTEXT FOR THE CALL TO REJOICE.

    Who Do You Say That I Am? Revised.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,478 views

    Peter’s confession was not merely the recitation of a creed: it was an expression of an inner belief and conviction which had taken hold of his whole life.

    WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? Revised. Matthew 16:13-20. 1. Jesus asked, “WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I THE SON OF MAN AM?” (Matthew 16:13). Throughout the Gospels our Lord’s favourite name for Himself is: “the Son of man.” It is an expression which is found in Psalm 8:4. It is a title which ...read more

    O How I Love Your Word

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,902 views

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more

    A Song Of Loves

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,628 views

    Both Psalm 45:6-7 and Hebrews 1:8-9 address Jesus as God, yet distinguish Jesus from God.

    A SONG OF LOVES. Psalm 45:1-2; Psalm 45:6-9. The mysterious word in the title of this Psalm, ‘Shoshannim’, may refer to a six-stringed instrument, or to the scattering of roses or lilies around the nuptial bed: what we might call confetti today. The word ‘Maschil’ may be a musical reference, ...read more

    God keeps His promises to Israel as they at last enter the promised land.

    CROSSING JORDAN. Joshua 3:7-17. JOSHUA 3:7. Transition from one ministry to another is always challenging, but if the Lord’s people recognise the new incumbent as God’s man then they can agree under God to hearken to him (cf. Joshua 1:17).
