Moses
119: Choosing to Separate (Hebrews Series #27: Heb. 11:23-29)
Being raised in Egypt in the house of Pharaoh, Moses had everything the world could offer. Yet he rejected it all to identify with Jehovah and His people. Pastor Hollandsworth points out the obvious applications to NT Christians. We must make deliberate decisions to separate from the world and live by faith!
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.”
077: To Him Be Glory Now and Forever (Greatness of God Series #05: His Glory)
God’s glory and majesty are manifestations of His attributes, evidenced in the form of intense brightness and shining. Pastor Hollandsworth talks about where we can see God’s glory today and emphasizes the importance of glorifying God in all we do.
061: Vessels of Mercy Prepared for Glory (Romans Series #22: Rom. 9:14-33)
Pharaoh, who hardened his heart toward God and Israel, was a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction (ruin). In contrast, Moses and Israel were vessels of mercy. But now the tables are turned. Pastor Hollandsworth talks about how Israel is presently a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction, due to her unbelief, as God is showing mercy to the Gentiles, who were “prepared beforehand for glory.” However, national Israel will one day repent and will be appointed to rule over the nations. These truths should prompt us to confess Christ.
059: Yearning for Israel’s Salvation (Romans Series #20: Rom. 9:1-3)
Martin Luther was heavily antisemitic, and his beliefs about Israel led to replacement theology. In contrast, Paul wishes himself to be accursed so that Israel will be saved and fulfill the prophecies. What is this “salvation,” and what does it mean to be “accursed?” Pastor Hollandsworth answers these questions, demonstrating that Israel’s salvation is critical to the salvation of all humanity.
