132: Resisting the Devil (Walking with Jesus Series #003: Matt. 4:1-11)

The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. What was the purpose of this? Pastor Hollandsworth shares six truths demonstrated by Christ’s temptation, explains the nature of each temptation, and emphasizes the believer’s escape from temptation by following Christ’s example.


131: The Man Who Needed No Baptism (Walking with Jesus Series #002: Matt. 3:13-17)

Why did Jesus submit to John’s baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, seeing that Jesus was the Son of God and never sinned? Pastor Hollandsworth gives two answers to this question, which have application to the Christian life, and he also explains the three aspects of Holy Spirit power in our lives.


130: The Most Misinterpreted Verse of the Bible (Walking with Jesus Series #001: Matt. 3:1-12)

John the Baptist introduced the ministry of Jesus with a call for the nation to repent. Most evangelicals assume this is one of the requirements for salvation. However, Pastor Hollandsworth demonstrates clearly from the text that repentance is NOT a requirement for salvation, for John was preaching to believers, not unbelievers.


129: How to Serve God Acceptably Part 2 (Hebrews Series #37: Heb. 13:9-25)

In this final message in the Hebrews Series, Pastor Hollandsworth shares seven more behaviors from the text that God expects of His children who are living well-pleasing to Him. Topics include: living by grace, not legalism; bearing the reproach of Christ; seeking the heavenly Jerusalem; and what it means to submit to spiritual leaders.


128: How to Serve God Acceptably Part 1 (Hebrews Series #36: Heb. 13:1-8)

In the final chapter of Hebrews, the writer gives a list of behaviors that God expects of His children who are living well-pleasing to Him. Pastor Hollandsworth focuses on six of the behaviors in this first of two messages, and he also reviews the five warnings to believers found in the book of Hebrews.
