Faith
111: A Mother of Great Faith (Mother’s Day Message)
The widow of Zarephath was unique in her idolatrous Phoenician culture, in that she responded to God and His prophet in complete faith. Pastor Hollandsworth points out that she is an example of how we should reject wicked culture, trust in the Lord amidst crises, and give generously, even when resources are limited.
110: Exercising Faith, Hope, and Love (Hebrews Series #19: Heb. 10:19-25)
The writer to the Hebrews now shifts gears and begins to focus on practical application of the truths shared in earlier chapters. He reviews the blessings we have in Christ and what we should do with them. Pastor Hollandsworth draws attention to the faith-hope-love triplet in the text which should characterize Christian living, emphasizing the importance of provoking to love and good works.
102: Anchor of the Soul (Hebrews Series #13: Heb. 6:10-20)
After warning Christians not to apostatize in the previous text, the writer encourages the believers with four positive admonitions. Pastor Hollandsworth defines hope, explains how it is connected with inheritance in Hebrews, and why it should drive our everyday living.
084: The Law of Christ (Greatness of God Series #10a: Our Responsibility to Love)
Church-age believers are not subject to the Mosaic law or any other self-imposed or church-imposed legal system. As children of God, we are subject to the law of Christ. Pastor Hollandsworth describes this law and explains why it is truly liberating, avoiding the extremes of license and legalism.
075: The Paradox of Far Yet Near (Greatness of God Series #03: His Nearness)
When we consider the vastness of the universe, God seems so far away. Yet when we ponder the intricacies of the microscopic realm, He seems near. Pastor Hollandsworth explores the paradox of God being far, yet near, from a dimensional standpoint, and he explains how mere humans can have fellowship with a God who transcends our dimensions.
