Discipleship
160: Remember Lot’s Wife (Mother’s Day Message)
Sarah and Lot’s wife were related and lived in the same geographic region, yet their lifestyles were worlds apart. Pastor Hollandsworth contrasts their life choices, demonstrating the glorious result of reward for embracing God’s promises vs. the devastating consequence of disinheritance for worldliness.
150: A Foretaste of Glory (Walking with Jesus Series #016: Matt. 5:1-12)
Is the Sermon on the Mount evangelistic, or related to matters of sanctification? Is it applicable to church-age believers, or was it merely for the first century Jews? Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the errors of interpretation in this great teaching of Jesus and explains the purpose of the Sermon. He also describes the Beatitudes and the promises of reward.
149: Coming to the End of Yourself (Walking with Jesus Series #015: Luke 5:1-11)
Jesus called out to Simon and Andrew, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Our Lord continues to call believers to discipleship today. Pastor Hollandsworth points out why the first step in following Jesus requires the same attitude expressed by Peter: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
138: A Friend of the Groom (Walking with Jesus Series #009: John 3:22-36)
As baptisms of Christ’s followers began to outpace those of John the Baptist, the religious leaders attempted to make John’s disciples envious. But John was overjoyed with Christ’s success and delighted in being a “friend of the groom.” Pastor Hollandsworth explains what this means and examines five humble statements made by John that should be the conviction of all believers.
134: Pointing Others to the Lamb (Walking with Jesus Series #005: John 1:35-51)
John the Baptist directed his disciples to become followers of Jesus, thereby bringing John’s ministry to a close. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the priority of discipleship in the Great Commission and also explains why Jesus promised Nathanael kingdom inheritance.
