    An Ode To The Word Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,461 views

    This section has been called an inverted dirge, beginning with celebration, but ending in tears. This shows just how totally the Psalmist is engaged with his subject. In truth, it is a celebration of the Word of God, and of the God of the Word.

    AN ODE TO THE WORD OF GOD. Psalm 119:129-136. Psalm 119:129. Reason to keep God’s “testimonies”? Because they are wonderful. Indeed, the Word of God is a ‘wonderful’ thing, full as it is of an extraordinary supernatural wonder! The Psalmist engages not just his “soul” but his whole man to the ...read more

    The Grace Of Giving

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,720 views

    "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).

    THE GRACE OF GIVING. 2 Corinthians 8:7-15. 1. The example of the Macedonians (2 Corinthians 8:1-5). (v1) By the grace of God, the Macedonian churches (Philippi and Thessalonica) had been particularly forward in giving. (v2) Their gift was given out of poverty: like that of ...read more

    The Field Is The World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,917 views

    There is no separating out, until the harvest.

    THE FIELD IS THE WORLD. Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43. The interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24-30) should not be a matter of contention, as Jesus Himself gives the interpretation (Matthew 13:36-43). One modern preacher applies this passage to the heart ...read more

    Grace In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,775 views

    There is hope for the children of believers, if they will but put their trust in God.

    GRACE IN THE WILDERNESS. Jeremiah 32. The LORD speaks of Israel's time after her deliverance from Egypt as a “time of espousals,” when she was “holiness to the LORD” (Jeremiah 2:2-3). This may seem a little surprising, since we know that the forty years wandering in the wilderness were a ...read more

    The Bad And The Good Shepherd

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 29, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,454 views

    Contrasting irresponsible shepherds with Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

    THE BAD AND THE GOOD SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34. The teaching of Jesus and of the New Testament is that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who seeks out the lost sheep, and dies for His flock. This is in contrast to those who are not shepherds at all, but merely hired helps, who have no personal concern with ...read more

    The Return Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,389 views

    Comfort for the bereaved.

    THE RETURN OF JESUS. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Jesus taught that the “day and hour” of His return is known only to His Father (Mark 13:32). However, the new believers in Thessalonica seem to have got the impression that His Coming was imminent. As a result of this misunderstanding, a question ...read more

    The Nature Of Angel Food

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,399 views

    One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

    THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more

    Jesus Upon The Cross.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,811 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

    O For A Day In Thy Courts.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,522 views

    The prayer-answering God gives grace and glory in Jesus' Name.

    O FOR A DAY IN THY COURTS. Psalm 84:8-12. The Psalmist’s second “Selah” separates between two prayer petitions. The first is that the “LORD God of hosts… the God of Jacob” would “hear” his prayer, and “give ear” (Psalm 84:8). The Psalmist is in no doubt that our God is a prayer hearing, ...read more

    Anointing A Man After The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 14,585 views

    The Lord's criteria for service.

    ANOINTING A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. 1 Samuel 15:34-35; 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Israel had demanded a king, just so that they could be like the other nations. Samuel had protested, but the LORD allowed it. After all, they were not rejecting Samuel: they were rejecting the LORD (1 Samuel 8:4-7). ...read more

    A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,969 views

    Hannah was seeing beyond the circumstance of the birth of Samuel to something of its significance.

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child. Yet it is not only a personal response to one particular situation: it is a response which all of God’s people are ...read more

    No Other Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,956 views

    To add anything to the gospel of the grace of God is to deny the efficacy of the Cross of Jesus.

    NO OTHER GOSPEL. Galatians 1:1-12. From the outset, the tone of the Apostle Paul’s letter to “the churches of Galatia” (Galatians 1:2b) is one of disappointment. The opening signature “Paul, an apostle” is immediately followed by a negative assertion - “not from men nor through man”; and a ...read more

    A Wise Use Of Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,128 views

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    A Feast To Remember: Book Of Esther

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,314 views

    An intended genocide against the people of God is thwarted. Behind all the machinations of human deliverers, we see the quiet unassuming hand of providence. Praise the LORD!

    A FEAST TO REMEMBER. Esther 7:1-6; Esther 7:9-10; Esther 9:20-22. Esther is a book of feasts. First there was the extravagance of a six-month long drinking feast for the army and the princes of the 127 provinces (Esther 1:3-4). This was immediately followed by a seven day drinking feast for the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,132 views

    Sing praises and testify.

    THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS OF THE LORD. Psalm 9:9-20. This Psalm opens as a song of praise and rejoicing in the LORD (Psalm 9:1-2). The Psalmist is particularly thankful for the LORD’s support in the face of wicked enemies (Psalm 9:3-5). The LORD ‘sits in the throne judging right’ (Psalm 9:4); ...read more
