  • A Child Asked For

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 17, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,728 views

    As his name seems to suggest, Samuel was a child asked for. The destiny of the faithful was wrapped up in the birth of this child.

    A CHILD ASKED FOR. 1 Samuel 1:4-20. It was still the days of the judges, and still everyone did what they thought was right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). Yet the LORD was at work, shaping man’s destiny according to His plan. The ‘man according to His own heart’ (Acts 13:22) had not yet ...read more

  • An Essential Article Of The Christian Faith

    Death is not the end.

    AN ESSENTIAL ARTICLE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. Luke 20:27-38. The Sadducees, the ruling class in the Jerusalem Temple, flatly denied the resurrection of the body (Luke 20:27). They failed to find this teaching in their only authoritative Scriptures, the five books of Moses (Genesis to ...read more

  • Building On The Rock

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 8, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,303 views

    To build our lives on anything less than a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the very height of madness.

    BUILDING ON THE ROCK. Matthew 7:21-29. In the end, there will be those who PROFESS, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name have cast out demons, and in your name done many wonderful works?” to whom Jesus will PROFESS, “I never knew you: depart from me, you (all) ...read more

  • A Set Free Mindset

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,795 views

    God did what the law could not.

    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 whom? “To those in Christ ...read more

  • Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,848 views

    A short appeal to persevere in prayer.

    IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Matthew 15:21-28. Sometimes in the round of life it seems that we are praying by rote - and sometimes not praying at all, but rather ‘saying prayers’. I was impressed with the importunity of the woman of Canaan who approached Jesus in Matthew 15:21-28. Yes folks, faith ...read more

  • A Pleading

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,792 views

    We have left a God-shape hole in our lives and try to fill it with other things.

    A PLEADING. Jeremiah 2:4-13. In this passage the LORD yet again makes His complaint against the whole house of Israel (Jeremiah 2:4). As we read it, we begin to realise that this is also His indictment against the whole of mankind, and against the visible Church in particular. “What ...read more

  • The Tender Mercy Of A Jealous God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,570 views

    Let us pray for the whole state of the church of Christ.

    THE TENDER MERCY OF A JEALOUS GOD. Psalm 79:1-9. Despite what our first impression may have been, this is not a general lament about all the ills of the world but rather a particular lament about something afflicting the people of God. And even then, it is not just about ‘us’ but more so ...read more

  • The Years That The Locust Has Eaten

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 31, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,100 views

    A promise of restoration to the repentant. A prophecy of the outpouring of the Spirit. A warning of the judgment to come.

    THE YEARS THAT THE LOCUST HAS EATEN. Joel 2:23-32. A very old elder once said to me that his only regret was “the years that the locust has eaten” (Joel 2:25). However, there is no point in bemoaning what may have been, but rather our eyes should be on the here and now, and in the prospects ...read more

  • A Hymn To The Redeemer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 10, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,224 views

    Worship is not only a duty for the congregation, but also of the individual Christian.

    A HYMN TO THE REDEEMER. Psalm 149:1-9. PSALM 149:1. The exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” is especially addressed to “saints” = those loved by God with His covenant love. All of God’s people are saints, and we are envisaged as met together in congregation, singing His praise. It is only those ...read more

  • The Bold Approach.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,210 views

    Access to God through our great High Priest.

    THE BOLD APPROACH. Hebrews 4:12-16. So far in the epistle to the Hebrews, the author has made extensive use of the Scriptures. After his latest warning against falling into unbelief (Hebrews 4:11), he reminds the Hebrew Christians that “the word of God” is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12a). ...read more

  • Seek The Lord, And Ye Shall Live.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 4, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,187 views

    Setting ourselves up for a new infusion of Grace.

    SEEK THE LORD, AND YE SHALL LIVE. Amos 5:6-7; Amos 5:10-15. Amos is already lamenting the doom of the northern kingdom of Israel (Amos 5:1), bewailing the fact that she will ‘no more rise’ because ‘there is none to raise her up’ (Amos 5:2); but he immediately hints that there may yet be a ...read more

  • Signs Of Messiah And The Age Of The Spirit.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,583 views

    Physical healings and spiritual realities.

    SIGNS OF MESSIAH AND THE AGE OF THE SPIRIT. Isaiah 35:4-7. For those who are afflicted, who have waited, who have prayed and longed for deliverance: take heart, God will avenge, God will recompense, God will save you (Isaiah 35:4). The restoration of sight and hearing (Isaiah 35:5) is Messiah’s ...read more

  • New Heavens And A New Earth.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 25, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,308 views

    The marks of the new Jerusalem will be rejoicing, longevity, security, satisfying work, fellowship with God, and peace.

    NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH. Isaiah 65:17-25. “Behold,” says the LORD, “I create new heavens and a new earth” (Isaiah 65:17). The word for “create” is the same as in Genesis 1-2. But this is something “new,” which stands in contrast to “the former” things which “shall not be remembered nor ...read more

  • The Power Of Praise.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,564 views

    As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it for ever. Psalm 48:8.

    THE POWER OF PRAISE. Psalm 48:1-14. 1. The God of the City. Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus. This ...read more

  • Worshiping God With Our Bodies 1 Tim. 2:8-10

    Contributed by Luke Vasicek on Mar 14, 2024
     | 492 views

    We worship God with our holy hands ( 1 Tim. 2:8), our modest dress (1 Tim. 2:9-10), and through controlling our tongue (James 3:9-10)

    Worshiping God With Our Bodies 1. Lift up Holy Hands in Worship (1 Tim. 2:8; Psalm 134:2). A. Worship without _anger_ (1 Tim. 2:8). I. Sometimes there is a fine line between _anger_ and _determination_. Determination and excitement often give way to anger. Most people are aware of circadian ...read more
