169: Hope of the Gentiles (Walking with Jesus Series, #031: Matt. 12:14-21)

Matthew quotes Isa. 42, which refers prophetically to Jesus, the obedient Servant of God who came to replace Israel, the disobedient servant. Pastor Hollandsworth points out that He did not merely come to bring salvation to the Gentiles but also the hope of kingdom inheritance and glorification for those Gentiles who take up His offer.

168: Lord of the Sabbath (Walking with Jesus Series, #030: Luke 6:1-11)

Jesus is blasted by the Pharisees for picking grain and eating it on the Sabbath and for healing a man with a withered hand, but Luke says these events happened on “the second Sabbath after the first.” Pastor Hollandsworth explains three layers of symbolism in that statement, which lead to glorious eschatological applications.

167: Give Me This Mountain! (45th Church Anniversary Message, Josh. 14:6-15)

After the Promised Land had been subdued, Caleb asked Joshua for the inheritance that Moses had promised for wholly following the Lord forty-five years earlier, at Kadesh-Barnea. Pastor Hollandsworth compares Caleb’s perseverance in faithfulness with the Christian’s call to persevere in hope, while anticipating reward.

166: A Primer on Eternal Life (Walking with Jesus Series, #029: John 5:16-47)

After healing a man on the Sabbath, the Pharisees are furious. Jesus takes the opportunity to give a lengthy discourse on eternal life. Pastor Hollandsworth shares the correct translation of the Greek word translated eternal and answers critical questions: Is eternal life an end itself, or the means to an end? What is the difference between the gift of eternal life and the reward of eternal life?
