178: God’s Treasured Possessions (Walking with Jesus Series, #040: Matt. 13:44-52)
The parables of the hidden treasure, pearl of great price, and dragnet take the word of the kingdom out to the end of the age. Pastor Hollandsworth gives an interpretation for each parable, in light of context, demonstrating that one applies to Israel, one to the Church, and one shows the possible verdicts for believers at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
176: The Enemy Strikes Back (Walking with Jesus Series, #038: Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43)
In an effort to derail those who are on the pathway to becoming kingdom inheritors, Satan plants tares that represent believers who live lawlessly and teach erroneous views of the kingdom. Pastor Hollandsworth debunks the view that the tares are unbelievers who merely profess to be saved, and explains that the fire that burns the tares is a metaphor for the Judgment Seat fires.
163: Depart From Me! (Walking with Jesus Series, #026: Matt. 7:15-23)
Are we to inspect the “fruit” of professing believers to determine if they are truly saved? Pastor Hollandsworth discusses this frequently misunderstood concept, reveals the identity of wolves in sheep’s clothing, and describes who will hear the awful verdict, “Depart from Me!”
153: What Did Jesus Say About Hell? (Walking with Jesus Series #019: Matt. 5:21-30)
Many claim that Jesus spoke more about Hell than Heaven. Is that correct? Pastor Hollandsworth examines the two Greek words typically translated Hell in English Bible versions: Hades and Gehenna, explaining the correct meanings of those words. He also discusses why Jesus encouraged “radical amputation” in Matt. 5:21-30.
079: My Eyes Have Seen the King (Greatness of God Series #06: His Holiness)
Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up on His throne. The holiness of God gazed into his innermost core and caused him to fall apart. Then Isaiah admitted his sinfulness, and God cleansed him. Pastor Hollandsworth points out the urgency of seeing God’s holiness if we are to be used by Him to the fullest extent.
