Persevere
167: Give Me This Mountain! (45th Church Anniversary Message, Josh. 14:6-15)
After the Promised Land had been subdued, Caleb asked Joshua for the inheritance that Moses had promised for wholly following the Lord forty-five years earlier, at Kadesh-Barnea. Pastor Hollandsworth compares Caleb’s perseverance in faithfulness with the Christian’s call to persevere in hope, while anticipating reward.
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.
095: Don’t Apostatize! (Hebrews Series #06: Heb. 3:7-19)
OT Israel was a redeemed nation that chose not to believe God and enter the promised land. The writer to the Hebrews uses this OT type to warn NT believers not to apostatize. Pastor Hollandsworth talks about the dreadful prospect of becoming an “unbelieving believer” and thereby disinherited at the Judgment Seat. Instead, we must become partakers of Christ through perseverance.
091: Hold Fast Your Hope (Hebrews Series #05: Heb. 3:1-6)
Many Christians have no interest in Christ’s coming kingdom. They rarely think or talk about it, for it is not their focus, and they certainly are not preparing to give an account to Jesus for their life. Pastor Hollandsworth explains that only those believers who hold onto a confident expectation of reward, living accordingly, will be rewarded by Jesus and included in His “house.”
087: Jesus Exalted as Firstborn Son (Hebrews Series #01: Heb. 1:1-5)
Jesus has been appointed heir of all things. What does that mean? And why does the Bible say that Jesus was “begotten?” Pastor Hollandsworth answers these interesting questions and gives the interpretive key to unlocking Hebrews, sharing two errors that must be avoided.
