  • A Clash Of Kingdoms

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 20, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,510 views

    The Kingdom of God goes head to head with the kingdoms of this world.

    A CLASH OF KINGDOMS. Mark 6:14-29. As a unit, Mark 6:14-29 begins and ends with people “having heard” something. Herod “heard” about Jesus and His disciples (Mark 6:14), and drew his own conclusions from it (Mark 6:16). John’s disciples “heard” about John’s death, and acted accordingly (Mark ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,438 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 20, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,139 views

    To say and to do not, versus the grace of humility.

    A CRITIQUE OF PHARISAIC HYPOCRISY. Matthew 23:1-12. Turning away from the Pharisees, Jesus addressed both the crowds and His own disciples (Matthew 23:1). From the outset, Jesus acknowledged the legitimacy of the Pharisees as a party within Judaism: they “sit in Moses’ seat” (Matthew 23:2). ...read more

     | 12,935 views

    Are we really ready to meet Him?

    A CALL TO ACTIVE WATCHFULNESS. Matthew 25:1-13. The parable of the ten virgins comes on the back of a call to watchfulness, which is illustrated by the faithfulness of a dutiful servant as opposed to the unfaithfulness of an evil servant (Matthew 24:42-51). The contrast is shifted into the ...read more

  • The Blind Man By The Roadside

    Importunity in the face of adversity.

    THE BLIND MAN BY THE ROADSIDE. Mark 10:46-52. Jesus came to Jericho, with His disciples and a great multitude (Mark 10:46). Some of the multitude may have come with the apostolic party from Galilee, but probably the majority had come out of Jericho to meet Him and continued with Him on ...read more

  • Great High Priest

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,919 views

    The superiority of Jesus' priesthood gives us boldness to approach the throne of grace.

    GREAT HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 4:14-16. The priesthood of Jesus is superior to that of Aaron. As a man like ourselves, Jesus is a merciful and faithful high priest: yet, unlike Aaron, He is capable of facing and overcoming temptation on our behalf (Hebrews 2:17-18; Hebrews 4:15). For though He is a ...read more

  • Jesus Calms The Storm

    Contributed by Russell Pettus on Jun 26, 2018
     | 30,716 views

    Jesus calming the storm is moving the disciples to a decision of who they think Jesus is. They know him as a rabbi and the Messiah but the only one who can calm the sea is God.

    Jesus Calms the Storm Mark 4:35-41 Lectionary B Proper 7. Introduction One of my favorite commercials of late has been the “Mayhem” commercials by Allstate. Mayhem is everywhere. It is the teenager texting, the storm blowing a tree on your house, the person in a hurry that doesn’t put out a grill ...read more

    Sowing to the flesh versus sowing to the Spirit.

    WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. Galatians 6:1-16. ‘If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit,’ said Paul towards the end of the previous chapter (Galatians 5:25). The Greek word translated here as ‘walk’ speaks of our deliberately ‘getting in line with’ the Holy Spirit’s leading in ...read more

  • A Stirring In The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,009 views

    It is a mystery, but our unchangeable God wants us to understand that He is not without compassion.

    A STIRRING IN THE HEART OF GOD. Hosea 11:1-11. Through His speaking in the first person, and in what He says, this chapter offers us a unique view of the tenderness of the LORD toward His people (Hosea 11:1a). Moses reminded the people that the LORD ‘did not set His love upon’ them for any ...read more

    An Easter Meditation.

    RESURRECTION, BAPTISM AND UNION WITH CHRIST. Romans 6:1-11. Towards the end of the previous chapter, the Apostle Paul declared, ‘where sin abounded, grace did super-abound’ (cf. Romans 5:20). Paul opens chapter 6 with an emphatic negation of a conclusion that people were presumptuously ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,698 views

    If anyone does not wish to work, neither let him eat.

    WORKING AND EATING. 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13. Having expressed his trust in the Lord that they will already be doing the things with which he charges them (2 Thessalonians 3:4), the Apostle Paul now charges the brethren in Thessalonica - “in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ” - to withdraw ...read more

    Times and signs.

    WARNINGS & PROMISES FOR EVIL DAYS. Luke 21:5-19. Every so often we are confronted with all the uncertainty that arises from the dawn of what seem to be evil days.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,469 views

    As an act of gratitude for God's mercy, we submit our bodies to Him as Living Sacrifices. This will involve Renewing our Minds.

    WHOLE LIFE WORSHIP. Romans 12:1-2. “I beseech you therefore, brethren” (Romans 12:1) begins the application of Paul’s letter to the Romans. These words introduce the practical building blocks laid upon the theological foundation of the previous 11 chapters: hence the “therefore”. This is an ...read more

    Righteousness by law versus righteousness by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    CHRIST THE END OF THE LAW. Romans 10:5-15. Jesus is the fulfilment of all that the law signified, and met all its righteous demands against ourselves.

  • Amazing Faith Of A Centurion

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,154 views

    I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Luke 7:9).

    AMAZING FAITH OF A CENTURION. Luke 7:1-10. It is interesting to note that, in this busy little cameo, two of the main characters remain offstage throughout. In Luke’s record, the incident takes place immediately after the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). Jesus had said all He was going to say ...read more
