Salvation of the Soul
104: Salvation All the Way (Hebrews Series #15: Heb. 7:11-28)
Jesus is “able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him.” Pastor Hollandsworth explains that, in the context of Hebrews, this “salvation” is not referring to initial salvation by believing Jesus for eternal life. Rather, it is ongoing salvation of the soul unto reward for those believers who draw close to God in fellowship through Jesus Christ.
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.
096: The Paradox of Rest (Hebrews Series #07: Heb. 4:1-11)
Hebrews warns believers not to follow the same example of unbelief and disobedience as Israel. Instead, they should obey, and enter God’s rest. Yet the passage says we should “be diligent (labor)” to enter that rest. Pastor Hollandsworth explains this paradox and encourages believers to yoke up with Christ, whose burden is light. In Him they will find rest for the soul that leads to millennial rest.
095: Don’t Apostatize! (Hebrews Series #06: Heb. 3:7-19)
OT Israel was a redeemed nation that chose not to believe God and enter the promised land. The writer to the Hebrews uses this OT type to warn NT believers not to apostatize. Pastor Hollandsworth talks about the dreadful prospect of becoming an “unbelieving believer” and thereby disinherited at the Judgment Seat. Instead, we must become partakers of Christ through perseverance.
091: Hold Fast Your Hope (Hebrews Series #05: Heb. 3:1-6)
Many Christians have no interest in Christ’s coming kingdom. They rarely think or talk about it, for it is not their focus, and they certainly are not preparing to give an account to Jesus for their life. Pastor Hollandsworth explains that only those believers who hold onto a confident expectation of reward, living accordingly, will be rewarded by Jesus and included in His “house.”
