  • Plans Of Man And Purposes Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,457 views

    A man’s plans may be one thing (Proverbs 16:9), but it is God’s purposes that prevail (Proverbs 19:21).

    MAN’S PLANS AND GOD’S PURPOSES. Ruth 3:1-5; Ruth 4:13-17. The days of the judges (Ruth 1:1) were turbulent times. ‘There was no king in the land, and everybody did what was right in his own sight’ (Judges 21:25). Anarchy ruled, and God disciplined His people through cycles of invasion, ...read more

  • Knowing The Unknowable.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,758 views

    The Cross-shaped love of Christ.

    KNOWING THE UNKNOWABLE. Ephesians 3:14-21. The “For this reason” of Ephesians 3:14 echoes Ephesians 3:1, and picks up the thread of thought that was left there. This follows Paul’s contemplation of the reconciliation accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22). Jesus, by His own ...read more

  • Relationship Of The Lord To The Righteous

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,275 views

    The outworking of the good life.

    THE LORD’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE RIGHTEOUS. Psalm 34:15-22. Jesus adopts the general principle, “the measure you give will be the measure you get” (Mark 4:24). This is because, despite all appearances to the contrary, we are still living in a moral universe. Yet God does allow bad things to ...read more

  • Aiming Your Kids

    Contributed by Douglas Bryan on Jun 20, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,614 views

    A parent’s responsibility is to aim their kids in the direction they should go and then willingly release them when the proper time comes. However, parents must first have a proper relationship with God because they cannot share with their kids what they

    AIMING YOUR KIDS Psalm 127:1-5 INTRODUCTION: A. Have you ever considered shooting your kids? Maybe I should rephrase that! Have you ever considered that you as a parent have the responsibility to shoot your kids in the direction they should go–similar to a hunter shooting an arrow in the ...read more

  • Faith And Works

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,490 views

    The practical faith of Rahab stands in contrast to the platitudes of the person who sent the hungry empty away, and failed to clothe the naked.

    FAITH AND WORKS. James 2:14-26. A person is making what seems to be a credible claim to “faith” - but (as yet) there is no evidence in their lives of their allegiance to Jesus Christ. They seem to have all the right words, but (so far) “works” are lacking. James 2:14. What is the profit in the ...read more

    7th Sunday after Pentecost Proper 11 Mark 6: 30-34, 52-56 "Compassion" 30* The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. 31* And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no ...read more

  • Unwrapping Gems In Malachi

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,248 views

    The love of God is set to avert the curse.

    UNWRAPPING GEMS IN MALACHI The “burden” of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi is “I have loved you” (MALACHI 1:1-2). Why has the LORD set His love on His people? Well, according to Moses, He loves us because He loves us (Deuteronomy 7:7-8)! It is not our love to God that saves us, but ...read more

  • Making Much Of Little

  • The Sower, The Seed, And The Soil

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 21, 2014
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,403 views

    No matter how good the preaching, the Word of God only takes root in hearts prepared by the Holy Spirit.

    THE SOWER, THE SEED, AND THE SOIL. Matthew 13:1-9; Matthew 13:18-23. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. The Lord entered into a boat and sat and taught, whilst the crowds stood on the seashore. The boat served as a ...read more

  • The Good Deposit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,820 views

    1. "Keep the Committed Deposit" of the gospel; 2. In a verse which has become so familiar in translation that we almost forget to check the Greek language which lies behind it, we discover that only "He is able to Keep my Committed Deposit."

    THE GOOD DEPOSIT. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. At the end of his previous letter, Paul encouraged Timothy to ‘KEEP’ - or guard - the ‘COMMITTED DEPOSIT’ (1 Timothy 6:20). In the second letter, Paul reiterates this instruction in much the same words: “the good DEPOSIT COMMITTED … KEEP” (2 Timothy 1:14). ...read more

    The Apostle Paul encourages proper preparation for those who desire to receive the Lord’s Supper

    The man flew airplanes in the war against Viet Nam. He was a pilot for Delta for almost 30 years. A year and a half ago he flew a small plane into Tulsa to pick me up so that we could fly together to a District Mission Board meeting in Milwaukee. When his plane was refueled and we stowed my ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,438 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

  • Taste And See That The Lord Is Good (Complete)

    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,213 views

    A call to worship; living the life; deliverance.

    1. O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. Psalm 34:1-8. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, his ...read more

  • Great High Priest

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,915 views

    The superiority of Jesus' priesthood gives us boldness to approach the throne of grace.

    GREAT HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 4:14-16. The priesthood of Jesus is superior to that of Aaron. As a man like ourselves, Jesus is a merciful and faithful high priest: yet, unlike Aaron, He is capable of facing and overcoming temptation on our behalf (Hebrews 2:17-18; Hebrews 4:15). For though He is a ...read more
