    A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,928 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

    The Field Is The World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,877 views

    There is no separating out, until the harvest.

    THE FIELD IS THE WORLD. Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43. The interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24-30) should not be a matter of contention, as Jesus Himself gives the interpretation (Matthew 13:36-43). One modern preacher applies this passage to the heart ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,719 views

    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

    The Bad And The Good Shepherd

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,342 views

    Contrasting irresponsible shepherds with Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

    THE BAD AND THE GOOD SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34. The teaching of Jesus and of the New Testament is that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who seeks out the lost sheep, and dies for His flock. This is in contrast to those who are not shepherds at all, but merely hired helps, who have no personal concern with ...read more

    A Common Call

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 9, 2016
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,833 views

    The LORD knew His plans for Jeremiah, and had a particular end in view (Jeremiah 29:11). The same is true for us: both as Christian individuals, and as Church.

    A COMMON CALL. Jeremiah 1:4-10. Throughout history both the Church in general, and churches in particular, have published books of Common Order, Common Worship, and Common Prayer; common lectionaries, common liturgies, and joint statements of faith and mission. This is not necessarily a bad ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,077 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 Perpetual Promise For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 21, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,443 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

    Refocusing Our Commitment To Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,436 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

    A Metaphor Of A Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,559 views

    You turn us, O LORD, You shine on us. Without You there is no salvation.

    A METAPHOR OF A VINE. Psalm 80:1-2; Psalm 80:8-19. There are two metaphors in this Psalm: that of God as Shepherd (Psalm 80:1-7), and that of Israel as a vine (Psalm 80:8-16). It is upon the second of these that I wish to concentrate our attention. But first we must remind ourselves of the ...read more

    Cutting a straight furrow with the Word of God and avoiding catastrophe.

    AN UNCHAINED GOSPEL. 2 Timothy 2:8-15. I. SALVATION WITH ETERNAL GLORY (2 Timothy 2:8-10). Paul asks Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead’ (2 Timothy 2:8).

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,629 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

    An Ode To The Word Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,417 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

    Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,776 views

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

     | 1,604 views

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    A TABLE SPREAD. John 6:1-14. “After these things” (John 6:1), Jesus and His disciples crossed the sea of Galilee. “And a great multitude followed Him because they saw His miracles which He did to them which were diseased" (John 6:2). Jesus and His disciples then withdrew from the ...read more

    O For A Day In Thy Courts.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,489 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
