    The All-Encompassing Sovereignty Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,364 views

    I the LORD do all these things

    THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. Isaiah 45:1-7. This chapter opens with the astonishing reference to Cyrus, King of Persia, as the LORD’s “anointed” - literally, “messiah” (Isaiah 45:1). It is designed to shock us with the fact that the LORD not only uses Gentiles to fulfil His ...read more

    The danger of worship without mercy.

    JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BETTER THAN RITUALS. Amos 5:18-24. Historically, Israel had split into two kingdoms shortly after the death of king David’s son, king Solomon. The ten tribes of the north rejected both the dynasty of David, and the worship of the Jerusalem temple, and set up their ...read more

    A Call To Silence

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 22, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,981 views

    The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

    A CALL TO SILENCE. Zephaniah 1:7; Zephaniah 1:12-18. Speaking during the reign of king Josiah of Judah, Zephaniah spends a lot of energy outlining a universal judgment against the whole earth (Zephaniah 1:1-3), INCLUDING Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:4-6). “Hold thy peace,” he cries, “for ...read more

    A Note Of Praise

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 21, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,266 views

    An apt overture to the crescendo of Praise with which the Psalter ends!

    A NOTE OF PRAISE. Psalm 145:1-5; Psalm 145:17-21. A lone voice opens the Psalm: “I” will extol thee; “I” will bless (Psalm 145:1); “I” will bless; “I” will praise (Psalm 145:2). ‘Generations’ shall praise and declare (Psalm 145:4); “I” will speak and declare (Psalm 145:5-6). The word ‘men’ ...read more

    Genuine Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 7, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,502 views

    Another song of agape love.

    GENUINE LOVE. Romans 12:9-13. In Greek, the first clause of Romans 12:9 has no verb, so could literally be rendered “love without hypocrisy” or “love unfeigned”. From this, I have taken ‘Genuine Love’ as a title for this section. The second clause talks about evil and good, forming a kind of ...read more

     | 2,789 views

    The history of Joseph from Canaan to Egypt.

    AN UNSPOKEN PROVIDENCE. Genesis 37:1-4, Genesis 37:12-28. What are we to make of Joseph? A tell-tale teenager (Genesis 37:2)? A favourite son (Genesis 37:3)? A dreamer (Genesis 37:19)? Or perhaps a boaster (cf. Genesis 37:5-10)? Or even a prophet (cf. Genesis 37:11)? What is the ...read more

    A Vow To Praise

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,040 views

    David's Psalm of praise.

    A VOW TO PRAISE. Psalm 145:1-8. The Psalmist David, speaking on our behalf, makes a vow to bless the name of the LORD “forever and ever” (Psalm 145:1); “Every day” to bless Him; to praise His name “for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:2). This is the only Psalm in the book with the words “of ...read more

    Brothers Together

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,610 views

    Shades of opinion in the Christian church. We shall all appear before Christ.

    BROTHERS TOGETHER. Romans 14:1-12. This passage has much to say about receiving one another in the Lord. Paul defines “the weak in the faith” (Romans 14:1) as those who have scruples about what they eat (Romans 14:2). Do not “despise” them, warns Paul; but he also warns the weak not to ...read more

    Sour Grapes

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 29, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,513 views

    From blame to shame. A call to repentance.

    SOUR GRAPES. Ezekiel 18:1-4; Ezekiel 18:25-32. It seems to be very much a part of fallen human nature that we want to blame someone else for the things that go wrong in our lives. This all began in the garden of Eden, after the first couple ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam blamed both his ...read more

    A Trial Of Contradictory Prophesies.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,242 views

    A showdown in the Temple, between a true and a false prophet.

    A TRIAL OF CONTRADICTORY PROPHECIES. Jeremiah 28:5-9. One of the false prophets, Hananiah, prophesied that the exile would only last two years (cf. Jeremiah 28:1-4). This was a lie of the devil (cf. Jeremiah 28:15). Somewhat ironically, Hananiah’s name means, ‘the grace of the LORD.’ ...read more

    The Problem Of Indwelling Sin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,648 views

    Sin uses the law against us; but our victory lies not in ourselves but in the risen Lord Jesus.

    THE PROBLEM OF INDWELLING SIN. Romans 7:15-25a. In the first half of Romans 7:14, Paul speaks in the second person plural: ‘For WE know that the law is spiritual.’ Then, from the second half of the verse, Paul changes to the first person singular, ‘I’ – ‘but I am carnal, sold under (or a ...read more

    A Wife For Isaac.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,663 views

    When we walk in God's way, He orders our steps.

    A WIFE FOR ISAAC. Genesis 24:34-38, Genesis 24:42-49, Genesis 24:58-67. The 24th chapter of the Book of Genesis is a beautifully written and well-crafted telling and retelling of the history of the mission of Abraham’s servant to find a wife for Isaac. The whole passage moves along at a ...read more

    Mindsets.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,956 views

    God did what the law could not. The present state of the believer is one of hope.

    MINDSETS. Romans 8:1-11. I. A SET FREE MINDSET. Romans 8:1-5. “Then-now-no” begins the Greek of this wonderful chapter of God’s Book. This firm negation placed right at the beginning of the sentence serves to emphasise the absolute impossibility of there ever being any “condemnation” - to ...read more

     | 1,088 views

    Teach me thy way O LORD.

    A PRAYER FOR THE CONTINUATION OF GOD’S GRACE. Psalm 86:11-17. There is a chorus which connects Psalm 86:10 to the beginning of Psalm 86:11. “For thou art great, and doest wondrous things; thou art God alone. Teach me thy way O LORD.” PSALM 86:11. The prayer “Teach me thy way” is followed ...read more

    We need to engage in proper biblical prayer

    Matthew 6:9-13 Introduction: Illustration “Teach us what to say in prayer” I. Worship (v.9) A. What is worship of God? 1. Recognizing who is of the highest worth. 2. Recognizing we are not it. 3. In worship we are submitting to God in a fresh way every time we do it. 4. Recognizing the Holiness ...read more
