Glory
078: Appearing With Him in Glory (Greatness of God Series #05a: Our Responsibility)
What is to be the Christian’s response to God’s glorious attributes? We are to glorify Him in every aspect of our lives. Pastor Hollandsworth points out that those believers who live in this manner will be glorified when they meet Jesus. All other believers will be naked and ashamed.
077: To Him Be Glory Now and Forever (Greatness of God Series #05: His Glory)
God’s glory and majesty are manifestations of His attributes, evidenced in the form of intense brightness and shining. Pastor Hollandsworth talks about where we can see God’s glory today and emphasizes the importance of glorifying God in all we do.
074: Perfect Ends and Perfect Means (Greatness of God Series #02: His Wisdom)
God is omniscient and all-wise, planning the redemption and future glorification of mankind before the foundation of the world. Pastor Hollandsworth explains five things God does in wisdom and encourages believers to seek His wisdom by believing Him for it.
066: Metamorphosis Culminating in Glory (Romans Series #26: Rom. 12:1-2)
Paul has transitioned to the practical application section of his epistle, and he challenges believers to offer themselves as a living sacrifice to God. Pastor Hollandsworth explains how we can stay on the altar, by not being conformed to the spirit of the age and experiencing metamorphosis (inner spiritual transformation) through mind renewal. Those believers who yield themselves to this inward change now will be outwardly revealed in full glory when they meet Jesus at the Judgment Seat.
061: Vessels of Mercy Prepared for Glory (Romans Series #22: Rom. 9:14-33)
Pharaoh, who hardened his heart toward God and Israel, was a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction (ruin). In contrast, Moses and Israel were vessels of mercy. But now the tables are turned. Pastor Hollandsworth talks about how Israel is presently a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction, due to her unbelief, as God is showing mercy to the Gentiles, who were “prepared beforehand for glory.” However, national Israel will one day repent and will be appointed to rule over the nations. These truths should prompt us to confess Christ.
