Judgment Seat
146: All Things to All Men (1 Cor. 9:19-27)
Why did Paul choose to let go of his freedom in Christ and live like the Jews when with Jews, like the Gentiles when with Gentiles, and like the weak when with weaker brethren? Pastor Hollandsworth shows that Paul was motivated by “winning” other believers so that they could become partakers together with him in inheritance. To that end, Paul recognizes the need for all believers to run the race of the Christian life with diligence in order to be rewarded and not disqualified.
125: Looking Unto Jesus (Hebrews Series #33: Heb. 12:1-3)
The Christian life is like a race – a long, grueling marathon. God wants us to lay aside the weights and sins that trip us up or cause us to stumble. We are to run the race with endurance, looking to Jesus. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the things that cause defeat and the way to find ultimate victory.
112: No More Sacrifice for Sins (Hebrews Series #20: Heb. 10:26-39)
The book of Hebrews warns that believers who have been “illuminated,” yet continue in willful, defiant sinning, can reach the point where there is no more sacrifice for their sins. Pastor Hollandsworth demonstrates that this does not result in loss of salvation, but rather punishment and loss of Reward at the Bema.
106: A Better Sanctuary (Hebrews Series #17: Heb. 9:1-15)
The Old Testament tabernacle and later the temple, was a magnificent place of worship, full of symbolism that pointed to Christ. However, it was merely a shadow, representing the true and better tabernacle in heaven, which is New Jerusalem. Pastor Hollandsworth shows how believers can qualify to dwell there in the next age, which is the point of Christ’s instruction in John 14:1-6.
101: The Point of No Return (Hebrews Series #12: Heb. 6:4-9)
Those who are on the pathway of soul-salvation (sanctification) in anticipation of the Judgment Seat are spiritually mature. But the evil one targets them for apostasy. Pastor Hollandsworth investigates the third warning in Hebrews, warning believers to beware of falling back into spiritual immaturity and losing their inheritance in the kingdom.
