The Song Of The Vineyard

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2017

A best man's love song at a wedding turns out to be a dirge.

THE SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Isaiah 5:1-7. The first thing that we may notice about this passage, is Isaiah’s relationship with the LORD (Isaiah 5:1). The prophet is speaking for the remnant of Israel, and calls the LORD his Beloved. This echoes the language of Song of Solomon 2:16, where the ...read more

OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

Renewing Our Covenant With The Lord

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2018

Christians need to be constantly recalled to their first love, and churches to the rudiments (first principles) of the faith of a better generation.

RENEWING OUR COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Joshua 24:1-3; Joshua 24:14-25. The choice of Shechem as the site for the renewal of the covenant after the conquests under Joshua is significant.
