Outer Darkness
170: Outer Darkness Is Not Hell (Walking with Jesus Series, #032: Matt. 8:5-13)
Jesus uses the incredible faith of a Roman centurion to teach about the kingdom of heaven and who will be there, in contrast to those who will be relegated to outer darkness. Pastor Hollandsworth demonstrates from the Scriptures that outer darkness is not Hell and the kingdom of heaven is not Heaven.
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.
011: Saints in Outer Darkness
The term “outer darkness” is widely understood as a description of Hell for unbelievers. Pastor Hollandsworth looks at the three places the term is used in the New Testament, gives a biblical definition, and shows that it is NOT referring to Hell but, rather, to the realm of the kingdom where unfaithful believers will be consigned during the Millennium. He also distinguishes outer darkness from the erroneous doctrine of purgatory.
