    The All-Encompassing Sovereignty Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,623 views

    I the LORD do all these things

    THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. Isaiah 45:1-7. This chapter opens with the astonishing reference to Cyrus, King of Persia, as the LORD’s “anointed” - literally, “messiah” (Isaiah 45:1). It is designed to shock us with the fact that the LORD not only uses Gentiles to fulfil His ...read more

    Justice And Righteousness Better Than Rituals

    The danger of worship without mercy.

    JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BETTER THAN RITUALS. Amos 5:18-24. Historically, Israel had split into two kingdoms shortly after the death of king David’s son, king Solomon. The ten tribes of the north rejected both the dynasty of David, and the worship of the Jerusalem temple, and set up their ...read more

    A Call To Silence

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 22, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,234 views

    The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

    A CALL TO SILENCE. Zephaniah 1:7; Zephaniah 1:12-18. Speaking during the reign of king Josiah of Judah, Zephaniah spends a lot of energy outlining a universal judgment against the whole earth (Zephaniah 1:1-3), INCLUDING Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:4-6). “Hold thy peace,” he cries, “for ...read more

    A City Of Habitation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 31, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,398 views

    From a trackless wilderness to a City to dwell in.

    A CITY OF HABITATION Psalm 107:1-7; Psalm 107:33-37. This Psalm is a call to thanksgiving to the LORD, “for He is good: for His mercy endures forever” (Psalm 107:1). The writer longs that those whom the LORD has redeemed, whom He has redeemed from the hand of enemy - out of the east, and ...read more

    The Dungeon Of Disobedience And The Mystery Of Mercy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 8, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,699 views

    God's gifts and calling are irrevocable.

    THE DUNGEON OF DISOBEDIENCE AND THE MYSTERY OF MERCY. Romans 11:1-32. The extended passage of Romans 9-11 may not with any justification be written off as nothing more than a parenthesis: as if it was a break in the flow of Paul’s argument. On the contrary, to omit or down-grade these chapters ...read more

    A Passion For The Ancient People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 5, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,791 views

    Setting the scene for the whole discussion of Romans 9-11, Paul finds himself astonished at his own people's failure to embrace Christ.

    A PASSION FOR GOD’S ANCIENT PEOPLE. Romans 9:1-5. From the dizzy heights of Romans 8:28-39, the Apostle Paul seems to suddenly hit an unprecedented low in Romans 9:1-5. The crescendo of the previous glorious chapter meets the jarring note of Paul’s passion for his own people - God’s ancient ...read more

    Genuine Love

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 7, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,755 views

    Another song of agape love.

    GENUINE LOVE. Romans 12:9-13. In Greek, the first clause of Romans 12:9 has no verb, so could literally be rendered “love without hypocrisy” or “love unfeigned”. From this, I have taken ‘Genuine Love’ as a title for this section. The second clause talks about evil and good, forming a kind of ...read more

    An Unspoken Providence

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,964 views

    The history of Joseph from Canaan to Egypt.

    AN UNSPOKEN PROVIDENCE. Genesis 37:1-4, Genesis 37:12-28. What are we to make of Joseph? A tell-tale teenager (Genesis 37:2)? A favourite son (Genesis 37:3)? A dreamer (Genesis 37:19)? Or perhaps a boaster (cf. Genesis 37:5-10)? Or even a prophet (cf. Genesis 37:11)? What is the ...read more

    A Vow To Praise

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,345 views

    David's Psalm of praise.

    A VOW TO PRAISE. Psalm 145:1-8. The Psalmist David, speaking on our behalf, makes a vow to bless the name of the LORD “forever and ever” (Psalm 145:1); “Every day” to bless Him; to praise His name “for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:2). This is the only Psalm in the book with the words “of ...read more

    Brothers Together

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,796 views

    Shades of opinion in the Christian church. We shall all appear before Christ.

    BROTHERS TOGETHER. Romans 14:1-12. This passage has much to say about receiving one another in the Lord. Paul defines “the weak in the faith” (Romans 14:1) as those who have scruples about what they eat (Romans 14:2). Do not “despise” them, warns Paul; but he also warns the weak not to ...read more

    Sour Grapes

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 29, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,750 views

    From blame to shame. A call to repentance.

    SOUR GRAPES. Ezekiel 18:1-4; Ezekiel 18:25-32. It seems to be very much a part of fallen human nature that we want to blame someone else for the things that go wrong in our lives. This all began in the garden of Eden, after the first couple ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam blamed both his ...read more

    Christian Reactions

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,605 views

    How to overcome evil with good.

    CHRISTIAN REACTIONS. Romans 12:14-21. Romans 12:14. The positive imperative is to “bless” those who persecute us. This is similar to the teaching of Jesus (Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27-28). The supreme example is that of Jesus Himself (1 Peter 2:21-23). This partly involved Jesus praying for His ...read more

     | 1,612 views

    That ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

    BREAD OF HEAVEN. Exodus 16:2-15. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey. The ten plagues, the first Passover, the deliverance out of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea all lay behind them. Yet now, here in the wilderness new fears and ...read more

    The Petulance Of Jonah.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,378 views

    God, for His part, cares for the whole of His creation.

    THE PETULANCE OF JONAH. Jonah 3:10, Jonah 4:1-11. The LORD is merciful to those who repent (JONAH 3:10; cf. Psalm 130:3-4). When Jonah at last arrived in Nineveh after his circuitous journey, his message was simple: ‘Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown’ (cf. Jonah 3:4). ...read more

    The Marvellous Wonders Of The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,128 views

    Walls of water in the sea, and streams and rivers of water in the wilderness. A cloud by day, and a light of fire by night.

    THE MARVELLOUS WONDERS OF THE LORD. Psalm 78:1-4, Psalm 78:12-16. Psalm 78 is entitled a “Maschil” of Asaph, thereby signifying an INSTRUCTION. It is one of the longest Psalms in the Book, not only outlining a history of Israel, but encouraging us to LEARN from this history (cf. Psalm 78:8). ...read more
