Pastor Holladay is an exceptional, gifted teacher who is passionate about God's word and bringing it to the listener in a manor that anyone can follow. He is not afraid of preaching on the tough issues found in God's word. By preaching from book 1, chapter 1, verse by verse, through a chosen book in the Bible, the listener is able to learn what the author meant in context. Expository preaching is the best way to learn God's word and this is how Pastor Holladay approaches the text with each sermon. I would encourage anyone who is serious about learning scripture to subscribe to these pod casts.
Pastor Holladay has shepherded me for over 16 years now and I attribute most of my spiritual growth to him. God has used him to speak to me in so many ways and at so many times in my life and I am forever grateful to Pastor Holladay for his commitment to God's word and the seriousness in which he places on presenting it. Many Pastors could learn how to preach from him. Sadly, many churches today are more concerned with numbers or programs than they are about God's word and the presentation of it. A lot of sermons today are more like self-help lectures or humorous stories that have little or no relevance to scripture. His sermons are God focused and Christ centered. No matter what the passage, you will still hear about the good news of Jesus Christ and the message of salvation for all. And yet, each sermon is full of theological truths and Biblical fact. It is evident that Pastor Holladay spends hours & hours & hours studying and preparing for each lesson. In addition, he brings into focus the relevance of the passage and how it relates to us in these modern times. Furthermore, there is the application. How can you apply what was just taught to your life? Scriptural truths are mere academic fact unless they speak to your heart and move you to change. How? To become more like Christ.
If you truly desire to know God on a deeper, intimate level, I implore you to study God's word. We can know Him in this manner through His word. Pastor Holladay brings God's word to us each and every week with passion and conviction with the desire for each of us to know Him more & more. For us to know Him & love Him deeper than ever before. Subscribe to these pod casts and begin your journey to knowing His word through these teachings. I promise you, you will be blessed!
