Kingdom Inheritance
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.
145: A Quandary of Faith (Walking with Jesus Series #012: John 4:43-54)
The nobleman’s son will surely die unless Jesus goes to heal him. But Jesus refuses to go, rebuking the man (and all Israel) for requiring signs before they will believe. Jesus causes a quandary of faith by assuring the man his son has been healed. Will he accept this by faith? Pastor Hollandsworth explains why God often allows quandaries of faith in our lives, and he points out why Jesus heals this boy “after two days … on the third day.”
144: Fields Ready for Harvest (Walking with Jesus Series #011: John 4:19-42)
Jesus continues His conversation with the woman at the well, focusing on the new mode of worship. Pastor Hollandsworth explores the meaning of worshipping in spirit and in truth, and he also explains the sowing and reaping principle Christ shares with the disciples.
134: Pointing Others to the Lamb (Walking with Jesus Series #005: John 1:35-51)
John the Baptist directed his disciples to become followers of Jesus, thereby bringing John’s ministry to a close. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the priority of discipleship in the Great Commission and also explains why Jesus promised Nathanael kingdom inheritance.
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.
