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.
089: How Shall We Escape? (Hebrews Series #03: Heb. 2:1-10)
The first of five warnings is given, urging believers not to neglect “so great a salvation,” lest they experience negative reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Pastor Hollandsworth distinguishes between past, present, and future salvation, and emphasizes the critical importance of preparing for the “great salvation” yet to come.
087: Jesus Exalted as Firstborn Son (Hebrews Series #01: Heb. 1:1-5)
Jesus has been appointed heir of all things. What does that mean? And why does the Bible say that Jesus was “begotten?” Pastor Hollandsworth answers these interesting questions and gives the interpretive key to unlocking Hebrews, sharing two errors that must be avoided.
057: Killing the King
The crowds cheered Jesus on Palm Sunday as Messiah as He entered Jerusalem, shouting out, “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” Yet only days later the Jewish leadership chanted, “Crucify Him!” Pastor Hollandsworth focuses on the four stages of Christ’s suffering: 1) Scourging, 2) Mocking, 3) Via Dolorosa, and 4) Actual Crucifixion. A highly appropriate message to hear on Good Friday.
