    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,088 views

    Jesus 'seeking and saving' the Lost.

    A CAMEL THAT PASSED THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE. Luke 19:1-10. We recently read Jesus’ parable of a rich man who was only interested in hoarding his wealth, had no present compassion for the poor, and was living as if there was no God (Luke 12:16-21). God’s verdict on this man was that he was a ...read more

    Kept by the grace of God in the midst of afflictions.

    GRACE SUFFICIENT. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10. In the process of composing an argument against some proud boasters who measured themselves by nothing more than one another (2 Corinthians 10:12), Paul allowed himself to engage in some rhetorical boasting which confronted his foes on their own ground (2 ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,896 views

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,029 views

    An intended genocide against the people of God is thwarted. Behind all the machinations of human deliverers, we see the quiet unassuming hand of providence. Praise the LORD!

    A FEAST TO REMEMBER. Esther 7:1-6; Esther 7:9-10; Esther 9:20-22. Esther is a book of feasts. First there was the extravagance of a six-month long drinking feast for the army and the princes of the 127 provinces (Esther 1:3-4). This was immediately followed by a seven day drinking feast for the ...read more

  • A Celebration Of God-Given Opportunity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 24, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,822 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

  • A New Covenant

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,277 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

    "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

  • A Common Call

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 9, 2016
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,733 views

    The LORD knew His plans for Jeremiah, and had a particular end in view (Jeremiah 29:11). The same is true for us: both as Christian individuals, and as Church.

    A COMMON CALL. Jeremiah 1:4-10. Throughout history both the Church in general, and churches in particular, have published books of Common Order, Common Worship, and Common Prayer; common lectionaries, common liturgies, and joint statements of faith and mission. This is not necessarily a bad ...read more

  • The Fall Of Man

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,482 views

    The Fall of man, and the purpose of the Cross.

    THE FALL OF MAN. Genesis 3. It is part of the proof of the common ancestry of man that wherever we go in the world there are stories of a flood from which but a small number of people were saved, and prior to that a struggle between God and man involving a serpent or (in island communities) a ...read more

    Cutting a straight furrow with the Word of God and avoiding catastrophe.

    AN UNCHAINED GOSPEL. 2 Timothy 2:8-15. I. SALVATION WITH ETERNAL GLORY (2 Timothy 2:8-10). Paul asks Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead’ (2 Timothy 2:8).

  • The Centrality Of Scripture

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,394 views

    What Scripture is, who is its Author, and what it is for.

    THE CENTRALITY OF SCRIPTURE. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 1. Three times Paul addresses Timothy with an emphatic “you therefore" (2 Timothy 2:1) or “but you” (2 Timothy 3:10; 2 Timothy 3:14). In the fist instance, this sets Timothy alongside those who refreshed Paul in his imprisonment (2 Timothy ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,781 views

    There is no separating out, until the harvest.

    THE FIELD IS THE WORLD. Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43. The interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24-30) should not be a matter of contention, as Jesus Himself gives the interpretation (Matthew 13:36-43). One modern preacher applies this passage to the heart ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,541 views

    There is hope for the children of believers, if they will but put their trust in God.

    GRACE IN THE WILDERNESS. Jeremiah 32. The LORD speaks of Israel's time after her deliverance from Egypt as a “time of espousals,” when she was “holiness to the LORD” (Jeremiah 2:2-3). This may seem a little surprising, since we know that the forty years wandering in the wilderness were a ...read more

  • The Bad And The Good Shepherd

    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,994 views

    Contrasting irresponsible shepherds with Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

    THE BAD AND THE GOOD SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34. The teaching of Jesus and of the New Testament is that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who seeks out the lost sheep, and dies for His flock.
