    An Exhortation To Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 15, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,722 views

    An unjust judge, an importunate widow - and the patience of God.

    AN EXHORTATION TO IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Luke 18:1-8. The Pharisees demanded of Jesus when the kingdom of God should come. Jesus’ unexpected response was that it is here already (Luke 17:20-21)! Jesus then turned to His disciples to advise them concerning what He called ‘the days of the Son of ...read more

    A Pharisee And The Sinner

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 24, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,723 views

    Jesus contrasts two men, and two attitudes in prayer.

    A PHARISEE AND “THE” SINNER. Luke 18:9-14. Jesus had just told His disciples a parable to encourage them to importunity in prayer (Luke 18:1). Now He turned back to the Pharisees (cf. Luke 17:20-21) to warn them, and those like them, against despising others and approaching God in a ...read more

    A Sturdy Faith?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,006 views

    We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

    A STURDY FAITH? Psalm 125. Sometimes we speak of a person’s great faith, or their unwavering trust in the Lord, as if this was not attainable by any and each and all of us. ‘Oh,’ we say, ‘he has such faith’. Or, ‘she trusts so entirely upon the LORD’. But Jesus, whilst He gently rebukes His ...read more

    Not Far From The Kingdom Of God?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,752 views

    The greatest commandment.

    NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD? Mark 12:28-34. Long before the invention of the printing press, men called Scribes would work together to copy out the Scriptures for future generations. By doing this, we might suggest, they became well-versed in the Law of Moses (cf. Ezra 7:6). They were ...read more

    The Word Goes Forth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,289 views

    A metaphor from God's dealings in Creation to describe God's dealings with His Word.

    THE WORD GOES FORTH. Isaiah 55:10-13. I was in India, alone in my room, with the door shut. I read Isaiah 55:10-11. There God was saying, “My Word shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” What an encouragement, I ...read more

    The Call Of Abraham

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,713 views

    Staking a claim in the land of Canaan.

    THE CALL OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 12:1-9. Our history begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more

    The Lord Our Shield

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,036 views

    Abraham chose to believe God rather than his own doubts and fears.

    THE LORD OUR SHIELD. Genesis 15:1-6. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden realisation: I’ve just picked a fight with ...read more

    A Garland Of Righteousness

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,665 views

    I have finished the course, declares Paul to Timothy. You run your course as I have run mine. This applies not only to Timothy, but to every one of us.

    A GARLAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 2 Timothy 4:6-8; 2 Timothy 4:16-18. Against a background of false teachers, and hypocritical hearers who will not endure sound teaching, Paul exhorted Timothy to urgently preach the word (2 Timothy 4:2). The young minister was to do this both when it seemed ...read more

    His Plans Not Our Plans

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,623 views

    The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

    HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will (2 Samuel 7:1-4); 2. God’s presence cannot be contained in a ...read more

    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

    Bringing food to a hungry world.

    THE FEEDING OF THE 5000. Matthew 14:13-21. 1. The creativity of feeding over 5000 hungry mouths. The feeding of the 5000 is recorded in all four Gospels. Like the Creation, it is a significant historical event. Both events are a demonstration of the Divine prerogative. In the beginning, we ...read more

    The Storms Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,352 views

    Faith is renewed day by day in our experience of the storms of life.

    THE STORMS OF LIFE. Matthew 14:22-33. 1. The storms of life. Sometimes the storms of life seem to overtake us, even when we are being obedient. Jesus told the disciples to get into a ship and go to the other side of the lake (Matthew 14:22), but we see the ship in the midst of the sea tossed ...read more

    The Five Foolish Virgins Weren’t Ready To Meet Their Maker, Are You?

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,348 views

    We are used to living our lives according to deadlines, but are you prepared to meet the mother of all deadlines that Jesus describes in the Gospel here for us today; the parable of the wise and foolish virgins? Read on, and be surprised.

    Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25 Psalm 78:1-7 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Matthew 25:1-13 Prayer: In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, let these words speak for you, bless each and every one of us Father, in the name of Jesus, Amen. Summary: We are used to living our lives ...read more

    A View From The House Of The Potter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 7, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,327 views

    The surprise here is that the intention of God can be resisted, and if (we) turn He speaks of changing His mind.

    A VIEW FROM THE POTTER'S HOUSE. Jeremiah 18:1-11. On one occasion I was taken to a pottery museum, where one could purchase wares and also see them being made. I had made one or two small pottery items while at school (one of which remained on my mother’s back doorstep long after I had left ...read more

    O Magnify The Lord With Me

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 25, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 18,795 views

    We taste and see the goodness of the LORD when the words of the LORD have their rightful place in our lives.

    O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. Psalm 34:1-8. 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 this place, his ...read more
