    Who Stands In Awe Is Blessed

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 4, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,335 views

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112:1-10. Like its immediate predecessor, PSALM 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line. PSALM 112:1 can best be represented in English by: “Alleluia. Blessed is the man…” The ...read more

    An Update On The Gerasene Demoniac; A Story Of Power.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jun 23, 2019
     | 4,510 views

    The Gerasene demoniac is a true story and not a parable. It has funny and strange features within; but it is a story that allays our fears and demonstrates the power of our Lord. It relieves our

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,744 views

    But - praise be to God - God has already come down in the Person of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    ACCESSIBILITY OF THE WORD OF GOD. Deuteronomy 30:9-14. The Book of Deuteronomy as a whole, and Deuteronomy 29-30 in particular, are written in terms reminiscent of Ancient Suzerainty treaties. Under certain terms and conditions outlined in the pronouncement of curses and blessings, a ...read more

    But Christ!

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,037 views

    The way into the Holiest.

    BUT CHRIST! Hebrews 9:1-14. We have been comparing and contrasting the new covenant with the old, the heavenly tabernacle with the earthly; the substance with its shadow (cf. Hebrews 8:1-13). Also the ministry of Jesus with that of Aaron (cf. Hebrews 5:1-10). In this passage we see ...read more

    A Final Personification Of Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 15, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,329 views

    Wisdom is compared to the virtuous woman in this closing poem of the book of Proverbs: the very personification of Christ, and of all that we all should be in Him.

    A FINAL PERSONIFICATION OF WISDOM. Proverbs 31:10-31. The book of Proverbs closes with an acrostic poem which commends the virtues of a certain (literally) “strong woman” (Proverbs 31:10). If we have been reading through the book up to this point, we will find that we have met her already. This ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 27, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,980 views

    Be alert to the wiles of the devil. Be ready to deny self, and follow Jesus.

    AN ANSWER TO THE TYRANNY OF SELF. Mark 8:27-38. The first half of the Gospel of Mark tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher who also happened to use healing (and exorcism) as a teaching device. In the second half the Lord started to prepare His inner circle of ...read more

    A Right Use Of Our Talents

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 15,068 views

    Our stewardship of what God has entrusted to us.

    A RIGHT USE OF OUR TALENTS. Matthew 25:14-30. A “talent” (Matthew 25:15) was a small gold coin valued at the equivalent of fifteen years national minimum wage. Whatever currency we translate that into, it is bound to be tens of thousands - and more. Five talents was enough to provide one of our ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,355 views

    Jesus is all our righteousness, and all our righteousness is in Him (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:30).

    A PRAYING POET’S APPEAL FOR THE LORD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS. Psalm 119:33-40. In the midst of this wonderful symphony about the Torah, the law of the LORD, there are also some petitions and prayers. This particular section uses several causative verbs, asking the LORD for things which He has promised ...read more

    An Overview Of The Book Of Joel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,348 views

    We cannot change the past: but in Christ, God restores to us what would have been had we not allowed sin an entrance (Joel 2:25).

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF JOEL. Joel 1-3. The name Joel means ‘Yahweh is God’ or perhaps ‘Whose God is the LORD’. There is no doubt that Joel's God is the LORD: not only on account of his given name, but also because of his courage in confronting Israel and the nations with a far-reaching ...read more

    Regaining The Straying Brother

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 25, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,508 views

    Church discipline is about regaining the brother (15). When our prayer is, truly, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven - our desire will be in agreement with what God has already determined in heaven.

    REGAINING THE STRAYING BROTHER. Matthew 18:15-20. ‘The Son of man is come to save that which was lost,’ declared Jesus (Matthew 18:11). The Lord illustrated this with a story of a man who left his ninety-nine sheep to seek out just one lost sheep (Matthew 18:12-13). Jesus affirmed, ‘Even so, it ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,737 views

    Faith sees beyond the perplexities and difficulties of the present situation.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 22:1-19. 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 Sarah was barren. So ...read more

     | 10,129 views

    Passing on the mantle: issues of succession in the church.

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1.

    A God's-eye view on the struggles of life.

    THE TRIALS OF JOB. Job 1:1; Job 2:1-10. Job was an upright man. There was none so righteous in the entire East. No doubt, like Lot, he vexed his righteous soul with the wickedness of those around him. He worried lest his sons might not follow him in his righteousness: lest perhaps they might ...read more

    The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former … and in this place will I give peace.

    GOD’S GLORY RETURNS TO THE TEMPLE. Haggai 2:1-9. The rebuilding of the Temple of God at Jerusalem about 537 BC met with early discouragements and setbacks. It is in this context that we first hear the prophet Haggai (Ezra 5:1). The whole of Haggai's short canonical book is designed to lift ...read more
