117: Prophetic Blessings by Faith (Hebrews Series #25: Heb. 11:20)
How could God say that Isaac blessed both Jacob and Esau by faith if Isaac was deceived? Pastor Hollandsworth delves into this fascinating text, demonstrating that Isaac awakened to his error and blessed both sons according to God’s will. Esau is a type of national Israel and those church-age believers who throw their inheritance to the wind. God warns His children not to follow the path of Esau.
113: Faith That Accomplishes (Hebrews Series #21: Heb. 11:1-3)
The just shall live by faith. Pastor Hollandsworth clarifies from Heb. 11, that this quote from the Old Testament is not a soteriological (salvation) statement, as Reformation theology claims. Rather, it is a matter of sanctification, which Hebrews refers to as the “saving of the soul.” Those who live righteously, by faith, will be rewarded by God, like those named in the great faith chapter.
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.
097: Dividing Soul and Spirit (Hebrews Series #08: Heb. 4:12-13)
God can divide soul and spirit and even joints and marrow. What purpose does this serve? Pastor Hollandsworth explains this Judgment Seat text and God’s purpose for dividing.
096: The Paradox of Rest (Hebrews Series #07: Heb. 4:1-11)
Hebrews warns believers not to follow the same example of unbelief and disobedience as Israel. Instead, they should obey, and enter God’s rest. Yet the passage says we should “be diligent (labor)” to enter that rest. Pastor Hollandsworth explains this paradox and encourages believers to yoke up with Christ, whose burden is light. In Him they will find rest for the soul that leads to millennial rest.
