    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,952 views

    The vow of Ruth seals the promise, binding her forever not only with Naomi, but also with the LORD.

    YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD. Ruth 1:1-18. Ruth 1:1. “The days when the judges judged” was an age of anarchy (Judges 21:25). Cycles of godlessness were followed by trouble and invasion, the raising of ‘saviours’ and restoration - only for the people of the LORD to fall back again into ...read more

    The imperative to praise the LORD: the command to commend.

    THE LAST SNOWS OF SPRING. Psalm 147:12-20. There are two different Hebrew words which are both translated “Praise” in Psalm 147:12. The second is the more familiar verb for ‘to praise’ which is echoed within the ‘Hallelujah’ (‘Praise the LORD’) of Psalm 147:1 and Psalm 147:20. The first verb ...read more

    Our job is to reflect His light.

    ARISE, SHINE, YOUR LIGHT IS COME. Isaiah 60:1-6. Zion was enveloped in a thick spiritual darkness on account of her sins (Isaiah 59:9-12). It was a darkness like the deepest discouragements and depression of the human heart: a darkness that could be felt (Exodus 10:21). It was a darkness that ...read more

    THE BLESSINGS OF THE AGE TO COME. Isaiah 61:10-11; Isaiah 62:1-3. “The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me,” announces Isaiah (Isaiah 61:1).

  • All The World Is A Stage

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,663 views

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE. Matthew 6:1-6; Matthew 6:16-21. “All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare reminds us, “and all the men and women merely players.” “And one man,” continues the playwright, “in his time plays many parts…” Jesus’ teaching on almsgiving, prayer and fasting in the Sermon on ...read more

  • The Lord Walking On Water

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,775 views

    We at times seem like a boat tossing about on the waves of uncertainty and doubt...

    THE LORD WALKING ON WATER. John 6:16-21. The sea can be such a frightening, unpredictable element that even hardened sailors find themselves overwhelmed at times. If we enter the darkness without our Lord Jesus, this magnifies our terror. Yet when He draws near this also, inexplicably, gives ...read more

  • Universal Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,869 views

    We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

    UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

  • The Importance Of Giving Thanks

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Oct 4, 2019
     | 6,212 views

    What does it mean when only one in ten returns to give thanks?

    The Importance of Giving Thanks Luke 17:11-19 Leprosy was the worst form of excommunication. Many have criticized the use of excommunication as a means of discipline in the church to cast out members for some heresy or misconduct. But to be excommunicated simply because they caught a disease ...read more

  • Easter Evening.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 23, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,541 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 Giddy Heights Of Agape Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 9, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,752 views

    Some thoughts on 1 Corinthians 13.

    THE GIDDY HEIGHTS OF AGAPE LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. At the end of the previous chapter Paul encouraged the Corinthians (church) to be, literally, ‘zealous’ for the best gifts (‘charismata’). ‘And yet,’ he said, ‘I show unto you a more excellent way’ (1 Corinthians 12:31). What is that ...read more

  • With Wings Like Eagles

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,004 views

    There is a time to wait, and a time to move forward.

    WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES. Isaiah 40:21-31. When Isaiah was first commissioned (Isaiah 6:8-9), he saw the LORD ‘high and lifted up’ (Isaiah 6:1). Now at his second commissioning (Isaiah 40:6), he sees the LORD ‘sitting above the circle of the earth’ (Isaiah 40:22). I call this the ‘second ...read more

  • A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,420 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

  • Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021
     | 2,632 views

    The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

    A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more

    In the fullness of the time God sent forth His Son. Galatians 4.4.

    THE FULLNESS OF TIME. Galatians 4:4-7. In Galatians 4:4, Paul speaks of a fullness of time. In what sense was it the fullness of the time? There is a time for everything under the sun (Ecclesiastes 3:1). God has set limits to the times and boundaries of the nations from all eternity (Acts ...read more

  • The Healing Of The Son Of A Nobleman.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2022

    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.
