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.

094: The Magi Backstory (Christmas Message)

Who were the magi? Why were Herod and the Judeans terrified of their arrival? What drove them to travel an incredibly long distance to worship the Christ-child? Pastor Hollandsworth tells the fascinating magi backstory, sharing the historical account of God’s preservation of the ten tribes of Israel and the formation of the Parthian empire.

093: Why Shepherds? (Christmas Message)

The angel announced the birth of Christ to the shepherds and gave them a sign where they could find the newborn Messiah. Why was such an important announcement given to the shepherds? Pastor Hollandsworth gives the critical backstory to the shepherds from the Old Testament, bringing greater meaning to the account in Luke 2.

092: The Coming of Messiah (Christmas Message)

Handel’s Messiah is a beautiful oratorio about the birth, life, and death of Christ, based entirely on Scripture, that is often performed during the Christmas season. Pastor Hollandsworth reviews the first eighteen movements, with a view to helping listeners understand this musical masterpiece more fully and thereby glory in the birth of Christ.
