Life. Money. Hope. Biblical advice in difficult times with special guest Dave Ramsey

In this passage, Jesus is assuring one of the criminals on the cross that when he died, he would be with Jesus in heaven. This was granted because even at the hour of his death, the criminal had expressed his faith in Jesus.

Why did God abandon Jesus on the cross? Why did this have to happen?

On the cross Jesus said these words “It is finished.” It was his victory cry. He had completely fulfilled the work that God had planned for him. While Jesus could say it is finished, we are a work in progress, we have unfinished business in our lives. That is good news, God is not finished with us yet!

Those who crucified Jesus were not aware of the full scope of what they were doing because they did not recognize Him as the Messiah.

What are you going to do with your life? You really only have three alternatives. You can spend your life. You can waste your life. Or you can invest your life. I want to suggest to you that the greatest use of your life is to invest it in something that outlasts it. That's called leaving a legacy.

This week in worship we talked about Philemon vs 8-16. We saw how the Apostle Paul was used by God to build bridges between two believers who had relational conflict.

We need to choose to be those people who focus their lives on encouraging others rather than tearing them down. Focusing on being an encourager is exactly what Paul did so come and learn how you can make that a common practice in your life.

Lessons from Paul, Philemon and Onesimus on how God can change our life for His purpose.
