Sin
174: The Unpardonable Sin (Walking with Jesus Series, #036: Matt. 12:22-45)
Jesus exorcises a demon from a man and heals the maladies the demon had caused. But the Pharisees, instead of rejoicing, accuse Jesus of doing this in the power of Satan. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the meaning of Christ’s rebuke to the Pharisees, answering the questions: What is the unpardonable sin? To whom does it apply? Can Christians commit this sin today?
173: The Debt of Love I Owe (Walking with Jesus Series, #035: Luke 7:36-50)
<
Jesus is invited to a Pharisee’s house for dinner. While there, a disreputable woman washes his feet with her tears and anoints them with fragrance. The Pharisee is incensed. Pastor Hollandsworth applies Christ’s lesson, that those who are forgiven much, love Him much. Those who perceive they have been forgiven little, love Him only a little.
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!”
139: A Bright Light in a Dark World, Isa. 8-9 (Christmas Message)
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. Pastor Hollandsworth gives the historical context for this OT prophecy, demonstrates how Jesus fulfills it in the NT, and makes application to believers in the present age.
125: Looking Unto Jesus (Hebrews Series #33: Heb. 12:1-3)
The Christian life is like a race – a long, grueling marathon. God wants us to lay aside the weights and sins that trip us up or cause us to stumble. We are to run the race with endurance, looking to Jesus. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the things that cause defeat and the way to find ultimate victory.
