New Jerusalem
160: Remember Lot’s Wife (Mother’s Day Message)
Sarah and Lot’s wife were related and lived in the same geographic region, yet their lifestyles were worlds apart. Pastor Hollandsworth contrasts their life choices, demonstrating the glorious result of reward for embracing God’s promises vs. the devastating consequence of disinheritance for worldliness.
137: “Born Again” Is Not a Regeneration Term (Walking with Jesus Series #008: John 3:1-18)
Christ’s admonition to Nicodemus in John 3 – “You must be born again” – is traditionally assumed to be a salvation text. But was Jesus telling this ruler of Israel how to be regenerated or how to prepare for kingdom inheritance? Pastor Hollandsworth defines the terms “born again” and “eternal life” and describes what Nicodemus would have been thinking as a first century Israelite.
129: How to Serve God Acceptably Part 2 (Hebrews Series #37: Heb. 13:9-25)
In this final message in the Hebrews Series, Pastor Hollandsworth shares seven more behaviors from the text that God expects of His children who are living well-pleasing to Him. Topics include: living by grace, not legalism; bearing the reproach of Christ; seeking the heavenly Jerusalem; and what it means to submit to spiritual leaders.
127: Church of the Firstborn (Hebrews Series #35: Heb. 12:12-29)
Will you be included in the Church of the Firstborn in the heavenlies in the Millennium? Inclusion is not guaranteed for all children of God, but only granted to those believers whom Jesus rewards for living “good and faithful.” Pastor Hollandsworth describes the qualifications for inheriting a place in this glorious assembly in New Jerusalem.
124: Incredible Feats of Faith (Hebrews Series #32: Heb. 11:33-40)
The Old Testament heroes of faith endured all sorts of persecution, in order to “obtain a better resurrection.” Pastor Hollandsworth explains the meaning of this and makes spiritual applications to church age believers, emphasizing the importance of living by faith and sharing in the sufferings of Christ, which results in reward and inheritance.
