  • Warnings And Promises For Evil Days

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 7, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,331 views

    Times and signs.

    WARNINGS & PROMISES FOR EVIL DAYS. Luke 21:5-19. Every so often we are confronted with all the uncertainty that arises from the dawn of what seem to be evil days. One hundred years ago people wondered if the fierce battles of World War One represented the Apocalyptic Armageddon. Then came ...read more

  • Grace For The Graceful

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 25, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,061 views

    The grace of God continues for those who are already demonstrating the fruits of grace in their life.

    GRACE FOR THE GRACEFUL. Acts 9:36-43. I am sometimes at pains to emphasise how God’s grace abounds for sinners (cf. Romans 5:20), but in the instance before us we see how God’s grace also continues to abound for a woman who is already a “disciple”. Doctor Luke, the author of Acts, is at ...read more

  • The Explanation Of Peter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 27, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,463 views

    Who was I that I could withstand God?

    PETER’S EXPLANATION. Acts 11:1-18. The turning point in Luke’s Gospel was when Jesus ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). The turning point of Luke’s second volume, the Book of Acts, is found in the breaking down of objections to the inclusion of Gentiles in the church, ...read more

  • The Encounter Of Openness And Truth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 28, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,368 views

    It is God who sets things in motion, and God who opens hearts to the Gospel.

    THE ENCOUNTER OF OPENNESS AND TRUTH. Acts 16:9-15. It is a bit of a cliché, but ‘when God closes one door, He opens another’. This was certainly the experience of Paul and his companions: Silas (cf. Acts 15:40), Timothy (cf. Acts 16:1-3), and Luke (cf. Acts 16:10). We are not told how, ...read more

  • Walking In The Spirit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 30, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,089 views

    Sowing to the flesh versus sowing to the Spirit.

    WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. Galatians 6:1-16. ‘If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit,’ said Paul towards the end of the previous chapter (Galatians 5:25). The Greek word translated here as ‘walk’ speaks of our deliberately ‘getting in line with’ the Holy Spirit’s leading in ...read more

  • Following Hard After God, Even In The Midst Of Trouble.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,408 views

    His right hand upholds us.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE. Psalm 63:1-11. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God. It was as if David was saying, ‘I know thee, but would know thee more.’ The Psalmist is not just on the fringes of faith, like the ...read more

  • A Place Of Security For The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,029 views

    Jesus speaks in no uncertain terms of the status of those who continue in unbelief, and the security of His own sheep.

    A PLACE OF SECURITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. John 10:22-30. Place is perhaps as important as time in this text. It was winter, and Jesus was walking under the shelter of Solomon’s Colonnade in the Temple (John 10:22-23). This was evidently a part of the original Temple which had remained ...read more

  • A Path From Babel To Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,262 views

    Babel speaks of "confusion", and is a byword for all that is wrong with the world. Only Pentecost could bring order.

    A PATH FROM BABEL TO PENTECOST. Genesis 11:1-9. The height of our tallest building does not necessarily impress God: He has to “come down” even to see it (Genesis 11:5). Babel - to the Babylonians - spoke of ‘the gateway to the gods’: and yet man was there found still aspiring to get where he ...read more

  • Amazing Faith Of A Centurion

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 10, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,105 views

    I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Luke 7:9).

    AMAZING FAITH OF A CENTURION. Luke 7:1-10. It is interesting to note that, in this busy little cameo, two of the main characters remain offstage throughout. In Luke’s record, the incident takes place immediately after the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). Jesus had said all He was going to say ...read more

  • Working And Eating

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,619 views

    If anyone does not wish to work, neither let him eat.

    WORKING AND EATING. 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13. Having expressed his trust in the Lord that they will already be doing the things with which he charges them (2 Thessalonians 3:4), the Apostle Paul now charges the brethren in Thessalonica - “in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ” - to withdraw ...read more

  • A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,366 views

    The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

    A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service. Perhaps Isaiah 61:1-2 was the reading of the day, but Jesus deliberately chose where to end the reading. Luke 4:18-19 stops short of ‘the ...read more

  • A Stirring In The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 11, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,931 views

    It is a mystery, but our unchangeable God wants us to understand that He is not without compassion.

    A STIRRING IN THE HEART OF GOD. Hosea 11:1-11. Through His speaking in the first person, and in what He says, this chapter offers us a unique view of the tenderness of the LORD toward His people (Hosea 11:1a). Moses reminded the people that the LORD ‘did not set His love upon’ them for any ...read more

  • Easter Evening.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 23, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,521 views

    Our wisdom is to receive by faith what we do not yet understand.

    EASTER EVENING. Luke 24:13-49. A man named Cleopas and his travelling companion were on their way back from Jerusalem, walking the seven miles to a village named Emmaus. Their conversation was very much taken up with concerns about the death of Jesus. A stranger drew near, and walked with ...read more

  • The Healing Of The Son Of A Nobleman.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,435 views

    The second significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    THE HEALING OF THE SON OF A NOBLEMAN. John 4:46-54. Returning to Cana, where Jesus had turned the water into wine, He was met by a royal official from Capernaum whose son was sick, even to the point of death. The man entreated Jesus to come down and heal his boy (JOHN 4:46-47). “Except ye see ...read more

  • Abram Steps Out In Faith.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 6, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,556 views

    Leaving all to follow Jesus.

    ABRAM STEPS OUT IN FAITH. Genesis 12:1-4. Our story begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more
