  • A Call To Faith.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 18, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,191 views

    What do we need to purchase the water of salvation? Nothing at all! It is a free gift of the true and living God.

    A CALL TO FAITH. Isaiah 55:1-5. ISAIAH 55:1. The Bible is full of wonderful gracious invitations. Isaiah 55 begins with a call to the thirsty to come to the waters. This is in order to quench, not a physical thirst, but a spiritual thirst. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who hunger and ...read more

    "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance." Romans 11:29.

    THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD. Romans 11:1-2a, Romans 11:29-32. What is causing Paul so much stress and distress is that Israel ‘have not all obeyed the gospel’ (cf. Romans 10:16). As we enter our present chapter, Paul is asking: Does this then mean that God has “cast away His people” (Romans ...read more

    The LORD will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Abridged. Genesis 22:1-14. Sometimes in our Christian lives we are challenged to surrender to God that which we hold most dear, that upon which we set our hopes, even that which God has given to us as a gift. God promised Abraham a son, but the patriarch’s wife ...read more

  • How Long?

     | 1,443 views

    A flow from pain through prayer to praise.

    HOW LONG? Psalm 13:1-6. This is a lament, a Psalm of complaint. This is evident from the outset, with the fourfold cry of pain, “How long?” (Psalm 13:1-2). The complaint is addressed first to the LORD (Psalm 13:1), but then seems to descend into something resembling self-pity (Psalm ...read more

  • The Sovereignty Of God And Human Responsibility. Abridged.

    The true Wisdom is revealed to the children of God.

    THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY. Abridged. Matthew 11:16-19, Matthew 11:25-30 I). Matthew 11:16-19. The children were out playing on the streets. ‘Let’s play weddings,’ suggested the girls: but the boys would not. ‘Let’s play funerals,’ countered the boys: but the girls ...read more

  • The Wilderness And The Cave.

    We are never alone.

    THE WILDERNESS AND THE CAVE. 1 Kings 19:1-15a. I. The Wilderness of Dissent (1 Kings 19:1-8). It is hard when we stand out in the crowd, but Christians are different. The Bible names us a ‘peculiar people’ - called out of darkness into His marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). Privileges carry ...read more

  • A Spacious Place.

    He does not allow our foot to slip.

    A SPACIOUS PLACE. Psalm 66:1-12. The superscription to this Psalm is addressed, “To the chief musician. A Song or Psalm.” Whether sung or spoken, it is a call to all nations to “Make a joyful noise” to God (Psalm 66:1). Which God? Well, compare Psalm 100:1, where YHWH, ‘the LORD’ is named. ...read more

  • Come Up Hither.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,330 views

    Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

    COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

  • Create In Me A Clean Heart.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,918 views

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

  • A Visitation By The Lord.

     | 1,583 views

    Hospitality, and a promise reiterated.

    A VISITATION BY THE LORD. Genesis 18:1-10a. This passage is described as an encounter in which “the LORD” (= YHWH, Hebrew) “appeared unto” Abraham when he was having his siesta “in the heat of the day.” When he lifted up his head, suddenly, there were three men standing by him. As if waking ...read more

  • An Indictment Against The Unscrupulous.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,275 views

    The LORD cares for the poor. So should we.

    AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS. Amos 8:4-7. You trample upon the needy and make the poor of the land fail (Amos 8:4; cf. Amos 5:11). Your religious observances are hypocritical, and you cheat your customers with false weights and measures (Amos 8:5). You enslave the poor and needy ...read more

  • Come Let Us Reason Together.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,893 views

    The failure of our efforts and the glory of Christ's work.

    COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10). It is all quite shocking: how dare he expose our comfortable, upright congregation to such strong language? After all, ...read more

  • You Forgave Me.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,640 views

    Unrepentant silence is detrimental to our spiritual well-being.

    YOU FORGAVE ME. Psalm 32:1-7. The beatitudes of Psalm 32:1-2 remind us of Psalm 1:1-2, which describes the righteous man and proclaims him blessed. Yet, since the fall of Adam, no mere man has been born with original righteousness. The second Psalm leads us to the place where we can find this ...read more

  • Covenant People In The Dock.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,489 views

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

    Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods?

    THE SONG OF MOSES AND MIRIAM. Exodus 15:1-11, Exodus 15:20-21. EXODUS 15:1.
