137: “Born Again” Is Not a Regeneration Term (Walking with Jesus Series #008: John 3:1-18)
Christ’s admonition to Nicodemus in John 3 – “You must be born again” – is traditionally assumed to be a salvation text. But was Jesus telling this ruler of Israel how to be regenerated or how to prepare for kingdom inheritance? Pastor Hollandsworth defines the terms “born again” and “eternal life” and describes what Nicodemus would have been thinking as a first century Israelite.
134: Pointing Others to the Lamb (Walking with Jesus Series #005: John 1:35-51)
John the Baptist directed his disciples to become followers of Jesus, thereby bringing John’s ministry to a close. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the priority of discipleship in the Great Commission and also explains why Jesus promised Nathanael kingdom inheritance.
133: Behold the Lamb! (Walking with Jesus Series #004: John 1:19-34)
John the Baptist proclaimed, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Pastor Hollandsworth details what the Jews of Jesus’ day were thinking when they heard this metaphor, and he explains why John is the quintessential example of confessing Christ and how we can learn from His humble testimony.
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!
099: From One Priesthood to Another (Hebrews Series #10: Heb. 5:1-10)
Jesus presently serves as High Priest in Heaven after the order of Aaron, but in the future, when He returns the second time, He will function as a High Priest-King on Earth after the order of Melchizedek. Pastor Hollandsworth uses Old Testament types to demonstrate the difference between these two orders and how each role impacts us.
