  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,924 views

    Hannah was seeing beyond the circumstance of the birth of Samuel to something of its significance.

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child. Yet it is not only a personal response to one particular situation: it is a response which all of God’s people are ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,749 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

    The post-Pentecost manifestation of God in the hearts of His people.

    A SPIRITUAL ABIDING OF THE FATHER AND THE SON. John 14:23-29. Today’s short excerpt comes by way of response to the question of Judas (not Iscariot), “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” (John 14:22). Typical of the disciples and many of their ...read more

    You turn us, O LORD, You shine on us. Without You there is no salvation.

    A METAPHOR OF A VINE. Psalm 80:1-2; Psalm 80:8-19. There are two metaphors in this Psalm: that of God as Shepherd (Psalm 80:1-7), and that of Israel as a vine (Psalm 80:8-16). It is upon the second of these that I wish to concentrate our attention. But first we must remind ourselves of the ...read more

  • A Call To Rejoice

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,214 views

    This song of rejoicing is not only one in which the people of the LORD are exhorted to raise their voices, but also one in which the LORD Himself participates.

    A CALL TO REJOICE. Zephaniah 3:14-20. Eight out of the nine oracles in the little book of Zephaniah announce God’s just judgment of all the earth (Zephaniah 1:2-3; Zephaniah 3:8); and the just judgment of the LORD their covenant God against Judah and Jerusalem in particular (Zephaniah 1:4). ...read more

  • A Messianic Agenda

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,379 views

    The Spirit anointed the speaker "to announce glad tidings: to heal the broken in heart; to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and the recovery of sight to the blind; to send forth the crushed in deliverance; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

    A MESSIANIC AGENDA. Luke 4:14-21. Always a methodical writer (Luke 1:3), Luke has grouped together reports of three manifestations of the Spirit’s work in Jesus’ life. The first is the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus at His baptism, that wonderful moment of Trinitarian confirmation of ...read more

  • Refocusing Our Commitment To Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,428 views

    The Guest is more important than the hospitality.

    REFOCUSING OUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS. Luke 10:38-42. Luke has arranged his material thematically (Luke 1:3), and it is interesting here to notice that this little but highly significant domestic incident immediately follows the parable of ‘the neighbourly kindness of the hated Samaritan’ (as I ...read more

  • Beware Of Covetousness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 22, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,570 views

    Hoarding wealth versus Rich toward God.

    BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS. Luke 12:13-21. Sometimes people used to approach a Rabbi to settle disputes, so the petitioner in this account may not have realized he was doing anything wrong when he approached Jesus with a request concerning the inheritance left by his father (Luke 12:13). We are not ...read more

  • The Master Who Serves

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 31, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,650 views

    Living for the kingdom. Waiting, listening, watching for Jesus' return.

    THE MASTER WHO SERVES. Luke 12:32-40. Jesus has reassured His disciples that they are of more value to God than many sparrows, and that the very hairs of their head are numbered (Luke 12:6-7). He has also taught us, through the parable of the rich fool, to value the things of God more than the ...read more

  • Loosed! Stand Up And Praise God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 4, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,249 views

    For eighteen long years this woman had struggled with her infirmity. What better day to heal her than the Sabbath?

    LOOSED! STAND UP AND PRAISE GOD. Luke 13:10-17. In this remarkable little incident we find Jesus teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath (Luke 13:10). Perhaps one of the first things we notice is just how obedient the Lord was to the laws and customs of His time. Should not we also be ...read more

  • The Grace Of Giving

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,660 views

    "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).

    THE GRACE OF GIVING. 2 Corinthians 8:7-15. 1. The example of the Macedonians (2 Corinthians 8:1-5). (v1) By the grace of God, the Macedonian churches (Philippi and Thessalonica) had been particularly forward in giving. (v2) Their gift was given out of poverty: like that of ...read more

  • From Epiphany To Transfiguration

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 29, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,796 views

    An epiphany is a sudden and unexpected revelation. Transfiguration is seeing Jesus in all His glory. It is His righteousness which prepares us to face God.

    FROM EPIPHANY TO TRANSFIGURATION. Psalm 50:1-6. An epiphany is a wonderful, unpredictable thing. It is defined as a sudden and unexpected revelation. It is not something that we come to expect, or can hunt down. Not something that we can earn through works, or prayers, or religious rites. Or ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,396 views

    No longer is God's law written upon tables of stone, but upon human hearts.

    A NEW COVENANT. Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1. “Behold the Days are Coming” This is a recurring motif in Jeremiah. There is a certainty about it, because it is a declaration of the LORD. It occurs in Jeremiah 23:5 - ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch ...read more

     | 9,725 views

    Scripture proofs for the superiority of Jesus.

    A NAME MORE EXCELLENT. Hebrews 1:1-14. The high Christology of Hebrews 1 bears comparison with that of John 1:1-14. We are first reminded of the many and various ways that God spoke through the prophets in times past (Hebrews 1:1). Then we are informed that the final word of God has now come to ...read more
