161: Measuring with the Golden Rule (Walking with Jesus Series #024: Matt. 7:1-12)
Few believers live by the Golden Rule, yet it is one of the qualifications for kingdom inheritance. Pastor Hollandsworth gives the meaning of the rule and four ways we can keep it.
105: A Better Covenant (Hebrews Series #16: Heb. 8)
Although the New Covenant is for Israel and has not yet been launched, believers in Christ are already beneficiaries of New Covenant promises. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses Israel’s prophetic timeline – the 70 “weeks” of Dan. 9 – and the timing of the coming New Covenant, also emphasizing that it is so much better than the Old.
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.
070: Every Knee Shall Bow (Romans Series #30: Rom. 14)
The Jewish believers in the church at Rome were finding it difficult to let go of their Jewish identifiers – dietary restrictions and observance of sabbaths and feast days. Paul refers to them as “weaker” brethren. The Gentile believers, on the other hand, were not bound in this manner, but were free in Christ, so Paul refers to them as “stronger” brethren. Pastor Hollandsworth explains that they were to accommodate one another, in light of the coming Judgment Seat and the ultimate salvation of all mankind.
062: The Word of Faith Is Near You (Romans Series #23: Rom. 10)
The Romans Road method of witnessing typically culminates in Rom. 10:9, 13, with a plea to be saved by confessing the Lord Jesus and calling upon the name of the Lord. However, this is not how “salvation” is used in the book of Romans. Pastor Hollandsworth explains that salvation for national Israel is deliverance from God’s wrath and consequent destruction. For individual children of God – both Jews and Gentiles – it is deliverance from sinning and self-destruction. He also points out the meaning of “the word of faith” and in what sense it is “near you.”
