  • Nineveh

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 13 ratings
     | 7,653 views

    The LORD is merciful to those who repent.

    NINEVEH. Jonah 3. The LORD has a case against cities and nations which are full of wickedness (Jonah 1:2) It was not God who brought evil upon mankind, but man himself. No doubt man was created with free will, but he chose to disobey God. From that point on man's will remains free, but only ...read more

    For Proper 26 Year B. November 3, 2024. This is from the Old Testament reading from Ruth 1:1-18

    A Model Israelite Ruth 1:1–18 NKJV Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 14,565 views

    The Lord's criteria for service.

    ANOINTING A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. 1 Samuel 15:34-35; 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Israel had demanded a king, just so that they could be like the other nations. Samuel had protested, but the LORD allowed it. After all, they were not rejecting Samuel: they were rejecting the LORD (1 Samuel 8:4-7). ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,463 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
     | 6,459 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

  • Loosed! Stand Up And Praise God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 4, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,278 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

  • A Common Call

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,861 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

  • How Do You Resolve Sin In The Church; Jesus Knows.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 18, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,093 views

    Our goal is to live for one another; yet time and circumstances do not allow us that luxury and we fail. Most importantly we let God down, and when we do so, we feel bad; but Jesus knew that, and so, he tells us what to do, if we can only take his advice.

    Summary: Our goal is to live for one another; yet time and circumstances do not allow us that luxury and we fail. Most importantly we let God down, and when we do so, we feel bad; but Jesus knew that, and so, he tells us what to do, if we can only take his advice. Exodus 12:1-14 Psalm 149 Romans ...read more

  • A Wise Use Of Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,106 views

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

  • The Field Is The World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,901 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

  • Conveying The Message Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,744 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

  • No Other Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,935 views

    To add anything to the gospel of the grace of God is to deny the efficacy of the Cross of Jesus.

    NO OTHER GOSPEL. Galatians 1:1-12. From the outset, the tone of the Apostle Paul’s letter to “the churches of Galatia” (Galatians 1:2b) is one of disappointment. The opening signature “Paul, an apostle” is immediately followed by a negative assertion - “not from men nor through man”; and a ...read more

  • The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,385 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

  • O For A Day In Thy Courts.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,512 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

  • The Righteous Judgments Of The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,114 views

    Sing praises and testify.

    THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS OF THE LORD. Psalm 9:9-20. This Psalm opens as a song of praise and rejoicing in the LORD (Psalm 9:1-2). The Psalmist is particularly thankful for the LORD’s support in the face of wicked enemies (Psalm 9:3-5). The LORD ‘sits in the throne judging right’ (Psalm 9:4); ...read more
