164: Out with the Old and In with the New (Walking with Jesus Series, #027: Luke 5:12-39)
While dining at a feast with tax collectors and sinners, who were repenting in Israel, Jesus blasts the Pharisees for their pride, legalism, and unwillingness to repent. He announces that He did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Pastor Hollandsworth makes application to twenty-first century believers and churches.
162: Taking the Road Less Traveled (Walking with Jesus Series, #025: Matt. 7:13-14, 24-27)
Does the narrow way lead to Heaven and the broad way lead to Hell? Most seem to think so. Pastor Hollandsworth shows that this cannot be, given the context of the Sermon on the Mount. Rather, this is a sanctification text that poses a challenge for believers.
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.
149: Coming to the End of Yourself (Walking with Jesus Series #015: Luke 5:1-11)
Jesus called out to Simon and Andrew, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Our Lord continues to call believers to discipleship today. Pastor Hollandsworth points out why the first step in following Jesus requires the same attitude expressed by Peter: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
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.
