Gentiles
181: The Glorious Gospel of Hope (Rom. 16:25-27; Eph. 3:1-11; 1 Cor. 15:35-42; Col. 1:26-28; Phil. 3:18-21)
The apostle Paul preached two gospels: the gospel of the grace of God for unbelievers and the gospel of kingdom inheritance for believers. Pastor Hollandsworth explains how the latter gospel was formerly a mystery, but was revealed by Paul to the Church of Jesus Christ, offering reward, glorification, and co-ruling as sons to glory in the coming kingdom, for those who qualify.
180: Possessed Pigs (Walking with Jesus Series: #042: Mark 5:1-20)
Jesus exorcises multitudes of demons from two men who have superhuman strength and live as wild men among the tombs. But why does Jesus cast the demons into pigs? Pastor Hollandsworth explains the origin of demons and the remarkable significance of this miracle for national Israel and for us today.
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.
170: Outer Darkness Is Not Hell (Walking with Jesus Series, #032: Matt. 8:5-13)
Jesus uses the incredible faith of a Roman centurion to teach about the kingdom of heaven and who will be there, in contrast to those who will be relegated to outer darkness. Pastor Hollandsworth demonstrates from the Scriptures that outer darkness is not Hell and the kingdom of heaven is not Heaven.
169: Hope of the Gentiles (Walking with Jesus Series, #031: Matt. 12:14-21)
Matthew quotes Isa. 42, which refers prophetically to Jesus, the obedient Servant of God who came to replace Israel, the disobedient servant. Pastor Hollandsworth points out that He did not merely come to bring salvation to the Gentiles but also the hope of kingdom inheritance and glorification for those Gentiles who take up His offer.
