Insults and Paradise

2023 THEME: Victory!

Series: To and From the Cross

TITLE: Insults and Paradise

Scripture:  Luke 23:26-43

I.    SCENES THROUGH THE LENS OF SCRIPTURE                 


4 scenes full of meaning:

Scene #1- the weeping women
Scene #2- the heartless soldiers
Scene #3- the mocking bystanders

Scripture shows us (all is not lost). There is (hope), God is (still in charge), and we will still have reason to (praise Him).

Scene #4- the thief on the cross

 

II.   WORDS THROUGH THE LENS OF EXPERIENCE                 

                        

Three lessons we can learn:

1. No one is (ever too far gone) to become a Christ-follower.
2. All God wants from any individual is (simple faith).
3. Never doubt that He (accepts you).
