172: Reject Truth at Your Own Peril (Walking with Jesus Series, #034: Matt. 11:20-30)
Jesus blasts the cities of northern Galilee for refusing to repent, though they had been given so much more truth than any other region of the nation. He said it would be more tolerable for Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom in the day of judgment than for them. Pastor Hollandsworth explains this unusual statement and shows the application for modern day believers.
160: Remember Lot’s Wife (Mother’s Day Message)
Sarah and Lot’s wife were related and lived in the same geographic region, yet their lifestyles were worlds apart. Pastor Hollandsworth contrasts their life choices, demonstrating the glorious result of reward for embracing God’s promises vs. the devastating consequence of disinheritance for worldliness.
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.
