Salvation
102: Anchor of the Soul (Hebrews Series #13: Heb. 6:10-20)
After warning Christians not to apostatize in the previous text, the writer encourages the believers with four positive admonitions. Pastor Hollandsworth defines hope, explains how it is connected with inheritance in Hebrews, and why it should drive our everyday living.
088: Coronation Day Is Coming (Hebrews Series #02: Heb. 1:6-14)
Like David, who was anointed king but waited for many years to be crowned while Saul continued on the throne, so Jesus has been anointed by God but presently awaits coronation day until Satan is defeated and removed from ruling. Pastor Hollandsworth demonstrates that Jesus is not presently ruling, not even in a spiritual sense and explains why understanding this is critical.
050: Fire and Brimstone
What is the lake of fire, and why is it described as burning with fire and brimstone? Is it literal or metaphorical? Pastor Hollandsworth attempts to answer these questions through the lens of an Old Testament type.
033: Great in the Kingdom
Jesus said that to enter the kingdom one must have righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees. Pastor Hollandsworth defines what it means to enter the kingdom, what characterizes the righteousness of the Pharisees, what is greater than pharisaical righteousness, and how we can fulfill the righteous of the law.
028: Near-Death Experience
In the synagogue at Nazareth, Jesus read from the Isaiah scroll, applying the text to Himself, by concluding with the statement, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the glorious nature of Christ’s ministry, as described in Luke 4:18-19, and explains why the people marveled at Him in the synagogue, yet moments later were eager to throw him off the rocky cliff at the edge of town.
