Sons to Glory
127: Church of the Firstborn (Hebrews Series #35: Heb. 12:12-29)
Will you be included in the Church of the Firstborn in the heavenlies in the Millennium? Inclusion is not guaranteed for all children of God, but only granted to those believers whom Jesus rewards for living “good and faithful.” Pastor Hollandsworth describes the qualifications for inheriting a place in this glorious assembly in New Jerusalem.
126: Enduring God’s Boot Camp (Hebrews Series #34: Heb. 12:4-11)
God’s chastening is not mere punishment, but the entire process of child-rearing. Pastor Hollandsworth points out that God does not chasten all of His children, but only who cooperate with Him in the sanctification process. His purpose is to bring us to maturity by applying customized trials and sufferings, so we can become “sons to glory” in the coming kingdom.
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.
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.”
090: Leading Many Sons to Glory (Hebrews Series #04: Heb. 2:9-18)
One day Jesus will ascend to the throne as King over Earth. Just as the first Adam needed a bride and completer for ruling, so the second Adam is seeking a bride — otherwise known as the sons to glory — to complete Himself. They are the mature, firstborn inheritors, who will be glorified to reign with Jesus as co-regents. Only those believers who are enduring suffering in a spirit of Christlikeness will be chosen.
