  • The Gentile Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 30, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,976 views

    The ways of the Holy Spirit are not always exactly the same.

    THE GENTILE PENTECOST. Acts 10:44-48. On one occasion, king David inquired of the LORD, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines?’ To which the LORD replied, ‘Go up,’ and David defeated the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:19). Threatened again by the same enemy, the same David asked the same LORD the same ...read more

  • An Open-Ended Prayer

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,928 views

    Waiting faith and expectant trust.

    AN OPEN-ENDED PRAYER. Psalm 123:1-4. This is a short, impassioned prayer: a plea for help in the face of adversaries. It begins with adoration, with an abrupt “Unto You…” (PSALM 123:1). This is a song of Ascents and its opening may be paralleled to another: ‘I to the hills will lift ...read more

  • Paradigms Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,347 views

    We pray for the glory of God. We consider that it is He who we have sinned against. We pray in solidarity with those for whom we pray. We don't try to restrict God.

    PARADIGMS OF PRAYER. 1. Solidarity with those for whom we pray (Exodus 32:30-32) Moses presents us with an example of true, thoroughgoing, intercessory prayer. This is Moses’ prayer after the infamous ‘Golden Calf’ incident, when the people had committed idolatry at the foot of Mount Sinai ...read more

  • The Envoy

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,894 views

    The commission of John was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to seek honour for himself. The message of the gospel is not about us, it is about Jesus!

    THE ENVOY. John 1:6-8. “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.” John the Evangelist has introduced the Word of God ...read more

  • The Incarnation Of The Word.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 26, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,624 views

    When we recognise Jesus for who He is, we also see something of the glory of God.

    THE INCARNATION OF THE WORD. John 1:14-18. 1. THE WORD BECAME FLESH. Having established the connection between faith and being “born again” (John 1:12-13), the Apostle John now explains how that has been made possible. It took nothing less than the incarnation of God Himself (John 1:1). We can ...read more

  • The Voice.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,667 views

    John the Baptist provides a prime example of a preacher's humility: pointing away from himself to Jesus: not seeking to add followers to His own fold, but to Christ, the Son of God.

    THE VOICE. John 1:19-28. The prologue to John’s Gospel gives an account of how Eternity broke into time (John 1:1; John 1:14): yet Time encroaches on the very timelessness of the account in the person of “a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). This John is not to be confused with ...read more

  • A Peaceful Triumph

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,681 views

    Every step of the way replete with Messianic undertones, the King enters His capital with meekness and humility.

    A PEACEFUL TRIUMPH. Mark 11:1-11. Another group of pilgrims was arriving in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, and those already there were shouting the traditional welcome: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord” (Mark 11:9). The words are from Psalm 118:26 – a Psalm which is often ...read more

  • Anointing A Man After The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 14,416 views

    The Lord's criteria for service.

    ANOINTING A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. 1 Samuel 15:34-35; 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Israel had demanded a king, just so that they could be like the other nations. Samuel had protested, but the LORD allowed it. After all, they were not rejecting Samuel: they were rejecting the LORD (1 Samuel 8:4-7). ...read more

  • Grace Sufficient

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 14, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,955 views

    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

  • A Wise Use Of Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,894 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

  • They Are Not Of This World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,075 views

    Kept through the Name.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part 2. John 17:11-19. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father” (John 17:11). This epithet is unique, but understandable. Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (John 17:17). John 17:11. He prays that they will be “kept ...read more

  • An Ephesian Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,744 views

    Pentecost has a way of catching up with people.

    AN EPHESIAN PENTECOST. Acts 19:1-7. 1. APOLLOS. Apollos was well taught in the Scriptures, and he was “accurately” teaching the things concerning the Lord - but Apollos knew only the baptism of John. When Aquila and Priscilla perceived the deficiency in his teaching in Ephesus, they drew him ...read more

  • A Complete Way Of Life.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,831 views

    Being a Christian is not defined by what we do, or what we do not do; but by who we are, and Whose we are.

    A COMPLETE WAY OF LIFE. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24. Many people labour under the misapprehension that Christianity is negative, emphasising the prohibitions of the Ten Commandments. Yet even the Decalogue has positive commands: “Remember the Sabbath day”; “Honour your father and mother” - along ...read more

  • Time For True Repentance

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,550 views

    Jesus' coming is delayed to give the greater number of people the greater opportunity to repent.

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

  • Healing The Leprosy Of Sin

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,474 views

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more
