    Stand Strong In Preaching (4:1,2) Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 9, 2021
     | 3,214 views

    The proper motive of preachers is a desire for faithfulness to God, not worldly fame.

    Tom Lowe 12/19/2020 Scripture:Introduction 2 Timothy 4:1, 2 (NIV) 1. I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2. preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, ...read more

    A Child-Like Humility

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,634 views

    If you want to be first, learn to be last!

    A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31). About this the disciples were, to say the least, slow on the uptake: ...read more

    The Correct Treatment Of The Poor.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 27, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,135 views

    Jesus said, You have the poor always with you. Matthew 26:11.

    THE CORRECT TREATMENT OF THE POOR. Proverbs 22:1-2, Proverbs 22:8-9, Proverbs 22:22-23. We have here three pairs of poetic couplets about attitudes to the poor. It is not that the Bible is against wealth itself, or even wealthy people. King Solomon, the writer of some of these Proverbs, was ...read more

    The Trial Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,238 views

    The speaking God makes His own case.

    THE TRIAL OF GOD. Isaiah 44:6-8. The LORD is deeply grieved by His people’s tendency towards idol worship. Again and again He asserts His superiority over the nations, whose ‘gods’ are nothing but dumb idols (1 Corinthians 12:2). Not only does the LORD put the false gods on trial, but He is ...read more

    Love Your Neighbour

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 18, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,160 views

    Agape love as the fulfillment of the law.

    LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR. Romans 13:8-10. The imperative, “To no one nothing owe you (all), but to love one another” (Romans 13:8a) follows on from the discussion of being subject to ‘the powers that be’ who - whether we voted for them or not - are ‘ordained of God’ (cf. Romans 13:1). This ...read more

    Who Trusts In Him Is Blessed.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,824 views

    Tasting the goodness of the LORD.

    WHO TRUSTS IN HIM IS BLESSED. Psalm 34:1-8; Psalm 34:19-22. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in ...read more

    Awakening To Worship.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,012 views

    Blessing the LORD for all His gracious benefits.

    AWAKENING TO WORSHIP. Psalm 103:1-8. Psalm 103:1. Sometimes we are sluggish about praising God, so we have to stir ourselves up, searching within ourselves whether there might be anything hindering us from the right worship of the LORD. Having awoken our “soul” to the task, we must delve ...read more

    Introduction To The Little Apocalypse.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,962 views

    This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    INTRODUCTION TO THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-8. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of ...read more

    When Israel Went Out Of Egypt.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,982 views

    A defiant celebration of God's sovereign power.

    WHEN ISRAEL WENT OUT OF EGYPT. Psalm 114:1-8. The exuberance of this Psalm is immediately evident. It is a recollection of Israel’s redemption story, beginning from when the descendants of Jacob made their exodus from Egypt. It is the prelude to the founding of what Stephen, the first Christian ...read more

    Praise To God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 193 views

    A call to worship the LORD.

    PRAISE TO GOD. Psalm 96:1-9. 1. Creation. The Psalmist exhorts the earth to sing a new song to the LORD (PSALM 96:1). What is that new song? It is an acknowledgement that ‘the LORD reigns’ (cf. Psalm 96:10). That acknowledgement is based retrospectively in the realities of the creation ...read more

    The Epitaph Of The Ungodly And The Testimony Of The Righteous.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,191 views

    Our confidence rests in the covenant mercy of God, revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

    THE EPITAPH OF THE UNGODLY AND THE TESTIMONY OF THE RIGHTEOUS. Psalm 52:1-9. The superscription of this Psalm associates it with the tittle-tattle tale-telling of a certain Edomite named Doeg, who was Saul’s chief shepherd (1 Samuel 21:7). This man - not wholly untruthfully, but certainly ...read more

    An Overview Of The Book Of Ruth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,272 views

    It all comes down to a moment at midnight on a particular threshing floor in the valley below Bethlehem.

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF RUTH. Ruth 1-4. The structure of the Book of Ruth is interesting. It begins in the time of the Judges, and ends with a genealogy that runs on to King David, thus justifying the book’s canonical position between Judges and 1 Samuel. The whole story pivots on a time ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,110 views

    The knitting together of kindred hearts in covenant love.

    THE DEW OF HERMON. Psalm 133:1-3. I like the Scottish Metrical version of this Psalm: “Behold, how good a thing it is, and how becoming well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell!” A good one to sing, perhaps, as we break bread together. “Behold” calls us to look carefully, ...read more
