  • Follow My Leader

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 29, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,052 views

    Receive not the grace of God in vain.

    FOLLOW MY LEADER. 2 Corinthians 6:1-13. In his earlier letter, Paul had spoken of himself and others as ‘God’s fellow-workers’ (1 Corinthians 3:9). The word for “fellow-workers” gives us our English word, ‘synergy’, which speaks of a combined effort, a co-operation with God if you will. It ...read more

  • A Missionary To The Gentiles

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,188 views

    Anticipating the Gentile mission of Acts, Luke shows how it was first initiated by Jesus, through the unlikely figure of the man who came at Jesus from the tombs.

    A MISSIONARY TO THE GENTILES. Luke 8:26-39. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

  • The Attitude Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,530 views

    Following the example of Jesus.

    THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST. Philippians 2:5-11. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…” (Philippians 2:5). As we begin to evaluate this exhortation of the Apostle Paul, it is appropriate to ask some questions, not only of our text, but also of its context. Who is this Christ ...read more

  • Unity In Diversity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 9, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,869 views

    Unity, not uniformity. Family diversity. Growing up to maturity in Christ.

    UNITY IN DIVERSITY. Ephesians 4:1-16. Our unity is based in the unity of all three Persons of the Godhead (Ephesians 4:1-6) Those who are born again have but one God and Father, because we are all members of the same family. There is only one Lord (Jesus), so there is but one hope of our ...read more

  • The Song Of Zacharias

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,314 views

    The old priest opens his mouth for God, and prophesies.

    SONG OF ZACHARIAS. Luke 1:65-80. It is probable that Zacharias was elevated above purely personal petitions when he exercised his incense-burning office as priest in the Most Holy Place on the day that the angel Gabriel had appeared to him (Luke 1:9-11). The longings of the faithful remnant in ...read more

  • Choose Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,827 views

    "Choose life": an exhortation that belongs not only to the outset of the Christian life, but to all our choices in this life.

    CHOOSE LIFE. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. On more than one occasion I am sure, “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19) has been used, not inappropriately, as the text for an evangelistic sermon. The context, however, suggests that these words were not originally addressed to people who did not know the LORD ...read more

  • He Is Calling You By Name

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,081 views

    The call of God is what makes all the difference in our lives. We do not have to be on our death bed - or dying on a cross next to the Cross of Jesus - in order to hear His word of mercy.

    HE IS CALLING YOU BY NAME. 1 Samuel 3:1-10. The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1). There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of God ...read more

  • Continuing The Work Of Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,678 views

    The true worth of any ministry is discovered not in manufactured results, but in faithful service to the Lord.

    CONTINUING THE WORK OF CHRIST. Mark 6:1-13. The true worth of any ministry is discovered not in manufactured ‘results,’ but in faithful service to the Lord. Your quiet word to a friend in time of need or perplexity may be just as valuable - if not more so - as the clarion call of the gospel ...read more

  • For This I Came

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 12, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,312 views

    When Jesus said, To this end was I born, He was acknowledging His incarnation.

    FOR THIS I CAME. John 18:33-37. The interview between Pilate and Jesus paints a pathetic picture. The King of kings stood accused before the tribunal of an earthly governor. The prisoner appeared so unlike the usual kind of revolutionary that you could almost hear the scorn in the prefect’s ...read more

  • A. C. T. S. Of Solidarity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 9, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,489 views

    Prayer, thanksgiving, confession and praise as community activities. Pass it on.

    A. C. T. S. OF SOLIDARITY. Isaiah 12. When I was coming to rebirth as a newborn Christian, I remember our Pastor sharing a well-known acrostic as a guideline for prayer. Thus, A.C.T.S. spells out the words: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication. It is a familiar device which I even ...read more

  • A Call To Unlimited Forgiveness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 27, 2014
    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,173 views

    The full extent of the law, versus the full extent of grace.

    A CALL TO UNLIMITED FORGIVENESS. Matthew 18:21-35. Peter’s question, “How many times shall I forgive my brother?” (MATTHEW 18:21) arises out of the context of church discipline (cf. Matthew 18:15-20). Perhaps the original grievance was resolved, between one brother and another. The brother was ...read more

  • The Labourers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 30, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,015 views

    An illustration of God's new order of things.

    THE LABOURERS IN THE VINEYARD. Matthew 20:1-16. This parable is part of Jesus’ response to Peter’s question: ‘Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?’ (cf. Matthew 19:27). This challenging part of the reply is framed with a formula concerning the ‘first’ ...read more

  • If God Is So Good, Why Do I Hurt So Badly?

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2019
     | 8,668 views

    The God of the whirlwind took on human flesh and came to die on the cross. The mystery of suffering and sin should always take us to the Savior.

    If God is So Good, Why Do I Hurt So Badly? Rev. Brian Bill April 27-28, 2019 Play video called, Questions. We all have questions, don’t we? For the next four months, Lord willing, we’ll be addressing questions you’ve heard people ask. Sometimes inquiries are from those who don’t yet know ...read more

  • An Inside Job

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jul 18, 2011
    based on 7 ratings
     | 25,009 views

    At this point in the letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul turns from theology to ethics - from the description of what God has done for us to the question of what we should do for God. Given what God in Christ has done for us, how shall we lead our liv

    TITLE: AN INSIDE JOB SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 12:2 I want to thank Elder Marco Hansell for such a powerful message he bought two weeks ago and thank Pastor Bernie Kidd, in his absence, for the powerful message he delivered last week. These preachers really encouraged us as we have experienced the ...read more

  • Knowing Your Place Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 4, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,054 views

    Paul the Apostle knew who he was (and was not) and his job in the kingdom. It’s his passion for his job that led him to write to a group of people he’d never met, in order to introduce himself and the theology of grace to them. It encourages us to know ou

    I think it is great to study the book of Romans just after leaving Acts. Much of Acts is devoted to what Paul did—whereas in Romans we get to see how Paul thinks. Paul wrote the letter in about A.D. 57, which coincides with one of his visits to Corinth (Acts 20). Paul was looking ahead to the next ...read more
