    Compassion: The Healing Touch

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,610 views

    It is never a fruitless exercise when we bring others to Christ.

    COMPASSION: THE HEALING TOUCH. Mark 6:30-34; Mark 6:53-56. It was with some measure of excitement that the twelve apostles returned from their first outreach. They had fulfilled their commission, and were keen to report to Jesus on all that they had said and done (Mark 6:30). If ever there was a ...read more

    Breaking Down The Walls

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,557 views

    Church, in the final analysis, defines a people who are in the world but not of the world - ministering to the world.

    BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS. Ephesians 2:11-22. Church. A building or a people? Churches. Buildings constructed over supposed holy sites, in which various forms of worship take place. Some of these original citadels have disappeared, their walls removed to build alternative edifices. The problem ...read more

    Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,850 views

    A short appeal to persevere in prayer.

    IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Matthew 15:21-28. Sometimes in the round of life it seems that we are praying by rote - and sometimes not praying at all, but rather ‘saying prayers’. I was impressed with the importunity of the woman of Canaan who approached Jesus in Matthew 15:21-28. Yes folks, faith ...read more

    Ruth And The Restorer Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,365 views

    Boaz is the restorer of life, granting Naomi restoration and fullness. Thus does Jesus give life and hope to His own.

    RUTH AND THE RESTORER OF LIFE. Ruth 4. It is beautiful to see the way that the LORD restored the broken line of the clan of Ephrathah. Naomi, whose name means Lovely, renames herself Mara, Bitterness. However, her new name never caught on: she is always called Naomi, and in the end must lift ...read more

    The Knowledge We Have

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,227 views

    Paul's answer to Gnostic tendencies in the Church.

    THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE. Colossians 1:1-14. The Apostle Paul was in prison (Colossians 4:10; Colossians 4:18), probably in Rome. We can imagine that any bearer of news of the churches, and of the progress of the gospel, was a welcome visitor. Such was Epaphras a “fellow-servant, who is for you a ...read more

     | 2,256 views

    From Adam, where are you? to victory in Jesus.

    FROM ADAM TO CHRIST. Genesis 3:8-15. Adam was the representative head of the human race, and when he partook of the forbidden fruit, he brought disaster and death upon all of his descendants. Spiritual death, separation from God, was immediate. Suddenly man and his wife realised that they were ...read more

    The fatherly tears of David the king, and the compassion of God.

    WOULD GOD I HAD DIED FOR THEE! 2 Samuel 18:5-9; 2 Samuel 18:15; 2 Samuel 18:31-33. When I was still on the threshold between boyhood and manhood, I wrote two books of poems. The first I entitled, 'Going our own way.' I did not think of it at the time, but perhaps I was using the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,217 views

    A holy walk with God is best seen in our attitudes to others.

    JUSTICE AND THE LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR. Leviticus 19:1-2, Leviticus 19:15-18. In the midst of Jesus’ best-known ethical sermon, the Lord taught the foundational motive for right Christian living: ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect’ (Matthew 5:48). In ...read more

     | 4,191 views

    Setting ourselves up for a new infusion of Grace.

    SEEK THE LORD, AND YE SHALL LIVE. Amos 5:6-7; Amos 5:10-15. Amos is already lamenting the doom of the northern kingdom of Israel (Amos 5:1), bewailing the fact that she will ‘no more rise’ because ‘there is none to raise her up’ (Amos 5:2); but he immediately hints that there may yet be a ...read more

    Physical healings and spiritual realities.

    SIGNS OF MESSIAH AND THE AGE OF THE SPIRIT. Isaiah 35:4-7. For those who are afflicted, who have waited, who have prayed and longed for deliverance: take heart, God will avenge, God will recompense, God will save you (Isaiah 35:4).

     | 2,210 views

    Access to God through our great High Priest.

    THE BOLD APPROACH. Hebrews 4:12-16. So far in the epistle to the Hebrews, the author has made extensive use of the Scriptures. After his latest warning against falling into unbelief (Hebrews 4:11), he reminds the Hebrew Christians that “the word of God” is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12a). ...read more

    A Song For The Upright.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,336 views

    A joyous response of praise to the covenant love of the LORD.

    A SONG FOR THE UPRIGHT. Psalm 33:1-12. PSALM 33:1. We see first of all the exhortation: “Rejoice in the LORD” (cf. Philippians 4:4). Joy is a fruit of the Spirit (cf. Galatians 5:22-23). When we abide in Jesus the true vine, not only do we dwell in His love, but we also partake of His joy (cf. ...read more

    The Mystery Of The Resurrection.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 151 views

    What lies ahead.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51. When Paul speaks of a “mystery” he is not speaking of some secret to be kept, but rather of a hitherto hidden secret now being revealed (cf. Romans 16:25-27; Ephesians 3:3-5; Colossians 1:26). The Bible uses ‘sleep’ ...read more

    GOD’S COVENANT FOR ALL. 1 Kings 8:22-23, 1 Kings 8:41-43. Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of the people, and spread forth his hands toward heaven (1 KINGS 8:22).

    We are not called to be peacekeepers, but peacemakers. (#20 in The Christian Victor series)

    “…and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace…” The footwear of the Roman soldier was of special design. It was a sandal; more specifically, a thick leather sole that was held on by straps. It was also studded on the bottom so the Soldier could better keep his ...read more
