  • O How I Love Your Word

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,116 views

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more

  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,439 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

  • The Procession Of The Church.

    The marriage feast of the Lamb.

    THE PROCESSION OF THE CHURCH. Psalm 45:10-17. Psalm 45:2-9 was addressed to the King. Now Psalm 45:10-16 is addressed to the queen. The queen stands for the Church (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:32; Revelation 21:2, Revelation 21:9). The Church is addressed as “daughter” (Psalm 45:10a). ...read more

  • A Solemn Feast Day

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,341 views

    A summons to resounding praise.

    A SOLEMN FEAST DAY. Psalm 81:1-7. This Psalm opens with a summons to resounding praise (Psalm 81:1-3), with reasons to do so attached (Psalm 81:4-7). It continues with an address by God, beginning with a commandment, with a promise attached (Psalm 81:8-10); and going on to upbraid the people ...read more

  • Israel As Vine

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,097 views

    A plea for grace: Turn us again, O God of hosts.

    ISRAEL AS VINE. Psalm 80:7-15. The Psalmist bemoans the plight of the divided tribes of Israel, and boldly expresses his perplexity at God’s dealings with them. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust. One expression of our confidence that the LORD is in control ...read more

  • Sing Forth His Glory.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,501 views

    The exodus of the children of Israel is a testimony to the works of the Lord, and points forward to our redemption in Christ.

    SING FORTH HIS GLORY. Psalm 66:1-9. The superscription to this Psalm is addressed, “To the chief musician. A Song or Psalm.” Whether sung or spoken, it is a call to all nations to “Make a joyful noise” to God (Psalm 66:1). Which God? Well, compare Psalm 100:1, where YHWH, ‘the LORD’ is ...read more

  • The Little Cantata

    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,617 views

    Victory in Jesus!

    THE LITTLE CANTATA. Psalm 98:1-9. The Psalmist is calling us to sing of the mighty acts of the LORD whereby He has gotten Himself the victory (Psalm 98:1), secured our salvation, and demonstrated His righteousness (Psalm 98:2). This reaches back to the Exodus, when Moses and Miriam celebrated ...read more

  • God Is My Helper.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 4, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,225 views

    Prayer starts with God, not us.

    GOD IS MY HELPER. Psalm 54:1-7. The superscription to this Psalm associates it with a particular act of betrayal. David was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 23:15); and his neighbours, members of his own tribe, reported his whereabouts to his pursuers (1 Samuel 23:19). However, in the ...read more

  • A Prayer Of David.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 11, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,983 views

    The LORD is a very present help in time of need.

    A PRAYER OF DAVID. Psalm 86:1-10, Psalm 86:16-17. PSALM 86:1. Whatever troubles the Psalmist was facing, he recognises two things: the greatness of the LORD (YHWH), and his own smallness. Such is his humility when he asks the LORD to “Bow down (His) ear” to such a one as is “poor and needy.” The ...read more

  • Marching To Zion.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 84 views

    'We're marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion. We're marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.'

    MARCHING TO ZION. Psalm 118:17-29. This Psalm is the last of the processional Psalms which were sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for the great Jewish feasts. There are echoes of the Passover, and anticipations of the death and resurrection of Jesus. A lone voice rises above them ...read more

  • An Open-Ended Prayer

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,032 views

    Waiting faith and expectant trust.

    AN OPEN-ENDED PRAYER. Psalm 123:1-4. This is a short, impassioned prayer: a plea for help in the face of adversaries. It begins with adoration, with an abrupt “Unto You…” (PSALM 123:1). This is a song of Ascents and its opening may be paralleled to another: ‘I to the hills will lift ...read more

  • An Everlasting Throne

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,235 views

    Nevertheless: The faithfulness of God.

    AN EVERLASTING THRONE Psalm 89:27-37. There is a tension in this Psalm, between the LORD’s promise of an everlasting dynasty for the line of David (Psalm 89:3-4; Psalm 89:28), and the complaint of the Psalmist (Psalm 89:38). However, the LORD’s “Nevertheless” (Psalm 89:33) trumps the ...read more

  • Worshiping From Our Lazy-Boys

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 12, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,142 views

    This sermon unpacks the physical expressions of our worship and the reasons we’re often so backward.

    - Worship is supposed to be spiritual (John 4:23-24), but that spiritual worship, if real, is undoubtedly going to express itself physically. Some people think that what we do or don’t do with our bodies during worship doesn’t really matter, but that’s just not true. - Ex. Your kid does ...read more

  • The Eternal God And The Brevity Of Life

     | 13,980 views

    A prayer of Moses the man of God.

    THE ETERNAL GOD AND THE BREVITY OF LIFE. Psalm 90. Psalm 90:1. It is remarkable that the children of Israel survived 400 years in Egypt, and for some of that time under unspeakable oppression. Yet despite their hard labour and sorrow, the LORD had been their dwelling place “from generation to ...read more

  • Let God Arise.

    The King ascends His throne.

    LET GOD ARISE. Psalm 68:1-10, Psalm 68:32-35 #. Psalm 68:1-3 could well serve as a prayer for revival, or even a prayer for the Second Advent of Jesus. PSALM 68:1. Whenever the ark of the LORD set forward, perhaps even as the priests lifted the ark onto their shoulders, Moses would say ‘Rise ...read more
