    Applying the Word of God to our own lives.

    CONVEYING THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL. Matthew 13:44-58. 1. THE DISCOVERY OF TREASURE (Matthew 13:44-46). Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is like a man discovering treasure in a field, and selling all that he has to buy that field; or like a merchant man who discovers a pearl of great ...read more

  • Grace Sufficient

    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,121 views

    Kept by the grace of God in the midst of afflictions.

    GRACE SUFFICIENT. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10. In the process of composing an argument against some proud boasters who measured themselves by nothing more than one another (2 Corinthians 10:12), Paul allowed himself to engage in some rhetorical boasting which confronted his foes on their own ground (2 ...read more

  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,970 views

    Hannah was seeing beyond the circumstance of the birth of Samuel to something of its significance.

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child. Yet it is not only a personal response to one particular situation: it is a response which all of God’s people are ...read more

  • Loosed! Stand Up And Praise God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 4, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,301 views

    For eighteen long years this woman had struggled with her infirmity. What better day to heal her than the Sabbath?

    LOOSED! STAND UP AND PRAISE GOD. Luke 13:10-17. In this remarkable little incident we find Jesus teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath (Luke 13:10). Perhaps one of the first things we notice is just how obedient the Lord was to the laws and customs of His time. Should not we also be ...read more

  • An Ode To The Word Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,464 views

    This section has been called an inverted dirge, beginning with celebration, but ending in tears. This shows just how totally the Psalmist is engaged with his subject. In truth, it is a celebration of the Word of God, and of the God of the Word.

    AN ODE TO THE WORD OF GOD. Psalm 119:129-136. Psalm 119:129. Reason to keep God’s “testimonies”? Because they are wonderful. Indeed, the Word of God is a ‘wonderful’ thing, full as it is of an extraordinary supernatural wonder! The Psalmist engages not just his “soul” but his whole man to the ...read more

  • Refocusing Our Commitment To Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,480 views

    The Guest is more important than the hospitality.

    REFOCUSING OUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS. Luke 10:38-42. Luke has arranged his material thematically (Luke 1:3), and it is interesting here to notice that this little but highly significant domestic incident immediately follows the parable of ‘the neighbourly kindness of the hated Samaritan’ (as I ...read more

  • The Fall Of Man

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,687 views

    The Fall of man, and the purpose of the Cross.

    THE FALL OF MAN. Genesis 3. It is part of the proof of the common ancestry of man that wherever we go in the world there are stories of a flood from which but a small number of people were saved, and prior to that a struggle between God and man involving a serpent or (in island communities) a ...read more

  • A Perpetual Promise For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 21, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,471 views

    A Five Point Sermon.

    A PERPETUAL PROMISE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. John 6:36-37. Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst’ (John 6:35). The reaction to this statement was one of antagonism. Jesus’ listeners ‘then murmured at Him, because ...read more

  • A New Covenant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,453 views

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

  • O For A Day In Thy Courts.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,523 views

    The prayer-answering God gives grace and glory in Jesus' Name.

    O FOR A DAY IN THY COURTS. Psalm 84:8-12. The Psalmist’s second “Selah” separates between two prayer petitions. The first is that the “LORD God of hosts… the God of Jacob” would “hear” his prayer, and “give ear” (Psalm 84:8). The Psalmist is in no doubt that our God is a prayer hearing, ...read more

  • Chiseling Away At God

    Contributed by Chris Talton on Jan 18, 2002
    based on 165 ratings
     | 11,999 views

    For most people, their image of God is too small. A proper view of God controls your obedience, your faith and your peace.

    June 4, 2000 Exodus 20:4-6 “Chiseling away at God” INTRODUCTION Every time that I go into Wal-Mart, I am reminded that there is a major group of American soldiers that does not yet have a memorial in Washington, DC. This group is composed of the men and women who served our country so ...read more

  • Stewards Series

    Contributed by Dennis Lawrence on Mar 2, 2001
    based on 65 ratings
     | 7,500 views

    Everything we have came from God- even our personalities- and we need to exercise proper stewardship within this reality.

    Stewards March 3, 2001 We don’t have stewards in most areas of our lives anymore, but in a bygone day, stewards were tremendously important. In fact, the efficient operation of a household depended on the faithfulness and diligence of the steward. The steward was the official who controlled the ...read more

  • A Pharisee And The Sinner

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 24, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,834 views

    Jesus contrasts two men, and two attitudes in prayer.

    A PHARISEE AND “THE” SINNER. Luke 18:9-14. Jesus had just told His disciples a parable to encourage them to importunity in prayer (Luke 18:1). Now He turned back to the Pharisees (cf. Luke 17:20-21) to warn them, and those like them, against despising others and approaching God in a ...read more

  • A Healthy Appetite Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 27, 2006
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,480 views

    The proper response to mourning over the reality of suffering and evil in the world, and the key to meekness, is not conquering desire, but learning to desire the right things.

    Are you one of the people who have been following the state of the Bronco cornerbacks’ hamstrings? Both Bailey and Alexander suffered injuries that kept them out of the Jacksonville game and snapped Bailey’s 99 consecutive-game streak, which is the longest in the NFL for a cornerback. However, ...read more

  • Patterns, Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Dillon Burroughs on Mar 10, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,941 views

    An investigation into the human patterns that keep us from passionately following Christ along with Paul’s biblical instruction for pursuing the proper perspective.

    Dillon Burroughs 9.14.08 “…take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.” –Philippians 3:17 Last week we discussed Philippians 3:4-14, noting the human patterns we follow versus the Christ-like pattern we are called to follow. This week, we continue to discover what it ...read more
