  • A Celebration Of The Presence Of The Creator In Creation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,829 views

    The Creating Spirit is still at large. Our life is in His hands.

    A CELEBRATION OF THE CREATOR’S PRESENCE IN CREATION. Psalm 104:24-35. Psalm 104 is not only a celebration of the LORD having created all things in the past, but also a celebration of how He is involved in Creation as it is today. This is why the Psalm as a whole does not just slavishly follow ...read more

  • An Indoor-Outdoor Spiritual Barbeque

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 14, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,059 views

    A damning indictment against stubborn unbelief, and a shocking redefining of 'family'...

    AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR SPIRITUAL BARBEQUE. Mark 3:20-35. Belief crowds in towards Jesus, oblivious of walls (oblivious of the roof on one occasion), in the hope of a healing touch (Mark 3:20). Unbelief stands outside, questioning Jesus’ sanity. Some well-meaning acquaintances of Jesus wanted to ...read more

  • A Riot Of Colour And Beauty

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 19, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,222 views

    The mysterious workings of God's grace in the believer.

    A RIOT OF COLOUR AND BEAUTY. Mark 4:26-34. One year I dug a border outside my living room window. I bought some packets of seeds, dug small troughs, and scattered the seeds randomly in the little troughs before covering them over with light soil (cf. Mark 4:26). Job done. For a while, nothing ...read more

  • A Suffering Servant Sermon In The Porch Of Solomon

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 5, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,002 views

    Tap into the resurrection power which is yours in Christ Jesus.

    A ‘SUFFERING SERVANT’ SERMON, IN SOLOMON’S PORCH. Acts 3:12-19. The occasion of this Sermon was after the healing of a crippled man who used to sit begging below a gate called ‘Beautiful’ – a huge brass gate which, according to Josephus, far outshone all the silver and gold in the Temple. When ...read more

  • A Shepherd Oracle

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,900 views

    Bad shepherds versus the Righteous Branch.

    A SHEPHERD ORACLE. Jeremiah 23:1-6. Peter writes to the elders of the church, ‘Shepherd the flock of God, exercising oversight… not as exercising lordship over them, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd has been manifested, you shall receive the unfading crown of glory’ ...read more

  • A State Of Being Which Gives Rise To Activity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 18, 2016
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,660 views

    A Christian perspective on Torah.

    A STATE OF BEING WHICH GIVES RISE TO ACTIVITY. Psalm 119:1-8. We begin our study of the selected passage with the observation that the word for “blessed” is not a verb, but a noun. It is a state of being, not an activity. We are “blessed” not because “we walk in the law of the LORD”; but rather ...read more

  • A Beatific Epiphany Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 22, 2016
    based on 16 ratings
     | 7,038 views

    There are some things in life which we must do alone.

    A BEATIFIC EPIPHANY OF GOD. Exodus 24:12-18. Seventy-four people were called by the LORD to ‘come up’ and ‘worship afar off’ (Exodus 24:1). Each one had a part to play, but not all the same part (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:12; 1 Corinthians 12:28). The seventy elders, for example, were permitted a ...read more

  • Jesus, The Man Of Sorrows

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 20, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,211 views

    Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus (Acts 8:35).

    JESUS, THE MAN OF SORROWS. Isaiah 52:13-53:12 – Fourth Servant Song. 1. The introduction to this prophecy of the Passion of Jesus begins not with His humiliation, but with His exaltation (Isaiah 52:13). The letter to the Hebrews speaks of Jesus, ‘who for the joy that was set before Him endured ...read more

  • A Pentecostal Happening In Jerusalem

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 13, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,421 views

    Graduation day for the New Testament Church.

    A PENTECOSTAL HAPPENING IN JERUSALEM. Acts 2:1-21. There is a time and a place for everything - or so the old folks used to say. There was a time for Christmas, and a time for Easter. There was a time for Ascension - and now, a time for Pentecost. The Greek reads, “in the filling-in of the Day ...read more

  • A Hard Calling

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,148 views

    It is hard preaching to hard heads and hard hearts.

    A HARD CALLING. Ezekiel 2:1-5. In times gone by, and in certain places and professions still, it was taken for granted that children would follow in the trade of their fathers. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, would have known from an early age that they were going to be fishermen. ...read more

  • The Garden

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,793 views

    Man in the image of God, man in the Garden.

    THE GARDEN. Genesis 2:4-25. In Genesis 1 we saw Creation from the cosmological viewpoint of God. The expression “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth” in Genesis 2:4 links the seeming remoteness of God in the earlier account with the intimacy of the Garden, viewing Creation ...read more

  • The Ministry Of Reconciliation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,300 views

    The need for reconciliation arises because of our estrangement from God on account of our sin. The mediator of reconciliation is God. The cost of reconciliation is the death of Christ. The result of reconciliation is a new relationship with God.

    THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION. 2 Corinthians 5:16-21. This passage directly confronts us with the subject of reconciliation. It requires spiritual thinking: no longer regarding people from a worldly point of view - “according to the flesh” - and certainly not regarding Christ from a worldly ...read more

  • Bridling The Tongue

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,984 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more

  • The Victory Of The Suffering Of Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,939 views

    In His victory we are made victorious, even when we suffer unjustly, and for His cause.

    THE VICTORY OF CHRIST’S SUFFERING. 1 Peter 3:13-22. Who will harm us if we do that which is good (1 Peter 3:13)? The question is rhetorical. If God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? Yet even if we do seem to suffer for righteousness’ sake (1 Peter 3:14), we have the blessing of ...read more

  • A King Born

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 13, 2015
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,138 views

    Seek, worship and rejoice in Jesus.

    A KING BORN. Matthew 2:1-12. It is unusual for somebody to be born already possessing the title of “King” – but this was the case with Jesus. Matthew’s report simply states that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1): but he quotes the identity of Jesus as “born King” from the lips of the ...read more
