164: Out with the Old and In with the New (Walking with Jesus Series, #027: Luke 5:12-39)

While dining at a feast with tax collectors and sinners, who were repenting in Israel, Jesus blasts the Pharisees for their pride, legalism, and unwillingness to repent. He announces that He did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Pastor Hollandsworth makes application to twenty-first century believers and churches.

136: Eaten Up with Zeal (Walking with Jesus Series #007: John 2:13-22)

Watching Jesus cast the money changers out of the temple must have been an astonishing sight, and it surely infuriated the religious leaders. Pastor Hollandsworth explains why Jesus takes this bold action immediately following His miracle of turning water to wine, describes the right response to anger, and makes application to disciples in the twenty-first century.

098: Approaching Your Priest (Hebrews Series #09: Heb. 4:14-16)

God commands His children to come boldly to His throne where they can obtain mercy and grace. We approach Him through our High Priest, Jesus Christ, who is seated at the right hand of the Father. Pastor Hollandsworth describes how New Testament era believers can fulfill their calling as holy priests by finding cleansing and enablement from their High Priest in the heavens.

022: Keeping the Good Wine for Last

Why would Jesus turn water to wine, and what kind of wine did He make? Besides affirming His deity, what message did this unusual phenomenon send to Israel? Pastor Hollandsworth elaborates on the deeper meaning of this sign miracle with respect to Israel’s future restoration and kingdom inheritance, making connections to Noah, Melchizedek, the OT prophets, and the Last Supper.
