  • A Perpetual Memorial

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 16, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,008 views

    Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.

    A PERPETUAL MEMORIAL. Exodus 12:1-14. The first time that we are told that the LORD spoke to Moses specifically ‘in Egypt’ was when He commissioned him to confront Pharaoh (Exodus 6:28). The second was here in Exodus 12:1, when Moses and Aaron were given the LORD’s instructions for the perpetual ...read more

  • A Safe Place

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 29, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,204 views

    A present trust in our ever-present LORD. He has been with us in all our yesterdays, and will be with us in all our tomorrows.

    A SAFE PLACE. Psalms 71:1-6. This short excerpt from Psalms 71 is a strong declaration of confidence in the LORD, based on long experience. Psalms 71:1a. A declaration of present, personal trust in the Personal God. “In You, O LORD, I put my trust.” We cannot trust in the impersonal. ...read more

  • Compassion: The Healing Touch

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,696 views

    It is never a fruitless exercise when we bring others to Christ.

    COMPASSION: THE HEALING TOUCH. Mark 6:30-34; Mark 6:53-56. It was with some measure of excitement that the twelve apostles returned from their first outreach. They had fulfilled their commission, and were keen to report to Jesus on all that they had said and done (Mark 6:30). If ever there was a ...read more

  • The Knowledge We Have

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,319 views

    Paul's answer to Gnostic tendencies in the Church.

    THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE. Colossians 1:1-14. The Apostle Paul was in prison (Colossians 4:10; Colossians 4:18), probably in Rome. We can imagine that any bearer of news of the churches, and of the progress of the gospel, was a welcome visitor. Such was Epaphras a “fellow-servant, who is for you a ...read more

  • Importunity In Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,970 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

  • Ruth And The Restorer Of Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,476 views

    Boaz is the restorer of life, granting Naomi restoration and fullness. Thus does Jesus give life and hope to His own.

    RUTH AND THE RESTORER OF LIFE. Ruth 4. It is beautiful to see the way that the LORD restored the broken line of the clan of Ephrathah. Naomi, whose name means Lovely, renames herself Mara, Bitterness. However, her new name never caught on: she is always called Naomi, and in the end must lift ...read more

  • Hope In The Midst Of Trials

    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,505 views

    Facing up to the LORD from within an experience of darkness.

    HOPE IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS. Job 23:1-9; Job 23:16-17. “When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). An active faith may question suffering - but it will not abandon God. In fact, the example of Job demonstrates that the closer we are to God, the more audacious our ...read more

  • Appearances Of Christ, In Heaven And Earth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 1, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,147 views

    Jesus appeared in the earth in the incarnation. Jesus "now appears" in heaven on our behalf. He will come again to the earth to gather to Himself those who are eagerly awaiting Him.

    APPEARANCES OF CHRIST, IN HEAVEN AND EARTH. Hebrews 9:24-28. The ‘worldly sanctuary’ (Hebrews 9:1) served for a time, in both tent and Temple, but now the ‘reformation’ has been accomplished (Hebrews 9:10). The endless round of sacrifices would never suffice for the remission of sins (Hebrews ...read more

  • A Place Of No Water

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2016
    based on 16 ratings
     | 13,247 views

    We may well find, like Moses, that the answer is already to hand.

    A PLACE OF NO WATER. Exodus 17:1-7. Moses must have been pretty near the end of his tether (Exodus 17:4). After all, the LORD had already heard the cries of His people in their bondage (Exodus 3:7), and sent Moses to them: but it had been all Moses could do to convince them to accept ...read more

  • The Tender Mercy Of A Jealous God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,698 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
     | 11,304 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

  • God Sent Me Here

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,286 views

    When Joseph finally met his brothers again, he was able to say that, what THEY had meant for evil, God had meant for good.

    GOD SENT ME HERE. Genesis 45:1-15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf. Genesis 37:3), Joseph was sold by his brethren for twenty pieces of silver (Genesis 37:28). Favoured by His Father (Luke 3:22), Jesus ‘came unto His own, and His own ...read more

  • A Sequence Of Sayings

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,988 views

    A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

    A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

  • Justice And The Love Of Neighbour.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 7, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,318 views

    A holy walk with God is best seen in our attitudes to others.

    JUSTICE AND THE LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR. Leviticus 19:1-2, Leviticus 19:15-18. In the midst of Jesus’ best-known ethical sermon, the Lord taught the foundational motive for right Christian living: ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect’ (Matthew 5:48). In ...read more

  • The Power Of Praise.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,685 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
