131: The Man Who Needed No Baptism (Walking with Jesus Series #002: Matt. 3:13-17)
Why did Jesus submit to John’s baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, seeing that Jesus was the Son of God and never sinned? Pastor Hollandsworth gives two answers to this question, which have application to the Christian life, and he also explains the three aspects of Holy Spirit power in our lives.
123: Faith-Filled Speech (Hebrews Series #31: Heb. 11:32-34)
God “let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.” Nothing he said was trite or trivial. His words were weighty and impactful. Pastor Hollandsworth shares eight things Samuel said that have direct application to the Christian life, and he emphasizes the importance of believers having faith-filled speech.
121: Valiant Fighters (Hebrews Series #29: Heb. 11:32-34)
Gideon was a humble man who did not view himself as a fighter. Nevertheless, he believed God and was enabled to win a miraculous victory over the enemy with only 300 soldiers. Pastor Hollandsworth emphasizes the growth of Gideon’s faith that led to obedience and great courage from the Lord to do His will. “Little is much when God is in it” is the theme of this message.
097: Dividing Soul and Spirit (Hebrews Series #08: Heb. 4:12-13)
God can divide soul and spirit and even joints and marrow. What purpose does this serve? Pastor Hollandsworth explains this Judgment Seat text and God’s purpose for dividing.
056: Promises for Firstborn Sons (Romans Series #19: Rom. 8:26-39)
The end of Rom. 8 is often understood as unconditional promises for believers, following a description of “the process of salvation” in vs. 29-30, from God’s perspective. However, Pastor Hollandsworth points out that vs. 29-30 are a description of sanctification unto reward from God’s perspective. Thus, the promises in the broader text are conditional promises, for those who are on the pathway of becoming firstborn sons to glory.
