    Sin is universal! When Jesus said, Father, forgive them... just what was He asking the Father to do...and is there any connection with us in the 21st century?

    Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. Luke 23:34 (NIV) Jesus answered him, I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43 (NIV) Menelik was the king of Ethiopia from 1899 to 1913. He heard about a new device that could be used ...read more

    Part VI in the series - 24. This is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the penitent thief on the cross. The preaching idea: Only by the innocence of Christ are the guilty set free.

    Introduction… My prayer is that over the past six weeks that those of you who have been present for this series of sermons have been moved by the stories that we have experienced. One of the great things about preaching – is that before the message ever gets to you I’ve spent hours and hours in ...read more

    Anyone could have hung as a thief next to Jesus - including one of us.

The status quo is present in the persons of the Pharisees and Sanhedrin. Every age of history has such people - religious or not. ...read more

    We can always learn lessons from a thief, usually it’s what not to do. But in this case this thief teaches us four lessons that are worth following if we want to hear those words someday for ourselves, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise."

Last week in the words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”, we saw the forgiveness of Christ as he forgave the very people who were ...read more
