Kingdom Inheritance
171: Hijacking the Kingdom (Walking with Jesus Series, #033: Luke 7:11-35)
Satan manipulated the religious leadership of Israel to hijack Christ’s offer of kingdom inheritance by teaching the Jews were automatic inheritors by way of their heritage in Abraham. They literally kept multitudes out of the kingdom. Pastor Hollandsworth shows how the same is happening today throughout evangelical Christianity.
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.
152: Great in the Kingdom (Walking with Jesus Series #018: Matt. 5:17-20)
Jesus said that to enter the kingdom one must have righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees. Pastor Hollandsworth defines what it means to enter the kingdom, what characterizes the righteousness of the Pharisees, what is greater than pharisaical righteousness, and how we can fulfill the righteous of the law.
150: A Foretaste of Glory (Walking with Jesus Series #016: Matt. 5:1-12)
Is the Sermon on the Mount evangelistic, or related to matters of sanctification? Is it applicable to church-age believers, or was it merely for the first century Jews? Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the errors of interpretation in this great teaching of Jesus and explains the purpose of the Sermon. He also describes the Beatitudes and the promises of reward.
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.
