    God uses us, even in our desire to have and to take, to turn around and give life more abundantly to those who have been hurt, even by the church.

    The dying thief teaches us how to respond to Christ

    ENCOUNTERS WITH CHRIST: THE DYING THIEF TEXT: LUKE 23:39-43 We can say several things about how Jesus met people. He always approached the human soul the same way. His purpose was to elicit faith in his personhood. As to his methods, Jesus never approach two human souls the same way. Jesus ...read more

    Matthew shows 2 thieves taunting Christ. Luke records 1 thief taunting and the 2nd thief repenting. Surveying the words of Christ on the cross and how they may have impacted the repentant thief.

    Matt 27:35-44 (key = v. 44) Even the robbers [plural, both robbers] who were crucified with Him reviled Him … Luke 23:35-43 I. QUESTION – RECONCILING THE TWO ACCOUNTS A. Matthew 27 (Both Criminals Mocking); Luke 23 (One Criminal Mocking) B. At First, Both Mocked, Then ...read more

    The Other Thief

    Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on May 8, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,669 views

    The other thief shifts our focus from the more familiar thief. We know the one that ask Christ for a memorial. But what about the "the other thief" who died insulting the Lord?

    The text teaches many lessons. Let’s consider the following thoughts: I. There are Only Two Types of People in the World: believers and unbelievers. II. There is no Salvation in Physical Closeness to Jesus. (The other thief hung next to Christ without accepting Him) He hung next to the "bread of ...read more

    The story of the dying thief is a perfect example of Christ’s power to save and of His generous willingness to receive all who come to Him, regardless of how good or bad they are. The saving of the dying thief is much more similar to our salvation experie

    The Thief That Believed “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, "To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”-Luke 23:42-43. PORTION OF SCRIPTURE READ BEFORE ...read more

    To catch a thief you have to think like a thief. What has the thief taken stolen from you? How can you stop him?

    It Takes A Thief I. Introduction ?The stars were Matt Johnston (who actually lived in Weatherford, OK for a period) and Jon Rainey. Both burglarized homes and businesses, including a police station and stealing Corvettes from a Miss America Pageant, as young men. In 2005, Discovery Channel ...read more

    And It Was Night

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,689 views

    Metaphorically speaking, the clock is ticking away in the background. The countdown has begun. Gethsemane lies ahead: as does our Lord’s betrayal, trial and death.

    AND IT WAS NIGHT. John 13:21-32. As the Lord’s ‘hour’ drew near that He should depart out of this world, He turned His attention more and more to ‘His own’ (John 13:1). After the foot-washing and the teaching which immediately followed it, Jesus “was troubled in spirit” (John 13:21). ...read more

    We are in a time of spiritual darkness. We can not be silent. We need to make sure our King is not sleeping in our life. That night-the night of destruction-the King came for the deliverance of His people.

    Esther 6:1-6 1 During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king. 2 It was found written what Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that ...read more

     | 6,164 views

    The coming of Jesus will be like a thief in the night – unannounced and without prior warning. Our call as Christians is to be watchful, not by trying to guess an unrevealed time and season, but by living as those who ate in the light.

    You can listen to the full sermon here:- http://nec.org.au/strong-and-ready/ Message 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Surprised But Not Napping Why is it that there are so many modern Christians who seem to think that we are somehow smarter than the first century Christians.

    Night Calls - A Call To Serve Series

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 24, 2010
    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,403 views

    God often deals with us at night. In the deepest night God brings Israel out of Egypt. At night God wrestles with Jacob. At midnight God looses Peter’s chains. At night Paul hears the Macedonian call. In the middle of the night God calls Samuel to serve.

    Night Calls – Part One: “A Call to Serve” 1 Samuel 3:1-21 Introduction: God’s word declares that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” As such we often equate times of trouble, of difficulty, of spiritual lows with the night. We speak of the thief coming in the night; of death stalking at ...read more

    Snakes And Thieves – Those Who Love The Dark Of Night! Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,765 views

    Snakes - sly, cunning, creatures of the night - these are considered and then we look at what snakes do well - thieves! We examine 7 passages of the New Testament to see the verses about "thief". We must also eradicate the opportunities given to the thief.

    SNAKES AND THIEVES – THOSE WHO LOVE THE DARK OF NIGHT! Years ago I used to keep some finches. In fact I had a lot of them. I loved those birds and looked after them well. They used to breed, and birds only do that when they are happy. My species were mainly Australian finches but about four or ...read more

    If we can’t show the fruits of God’s investment at the end of our lives, just what good have we done ourselves, our God or our neighbor?

    Thirty-third Sunday in Course 2020 “Suddenly, Like a Thief in the Night” Most of us have probably noticed over the last two or three decades that TV comedies, and even some dramas, most often have a brilliant and comely female lead and a bumbling, even stupid male co-star.
