A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day (actually an amazing week)
- Preached at Okeechobee CC today on the power of the cross.
- Today's topic; the Thief on the Cross points to our assurance of salvation.
- The one who deserved Hell received Heaven. The truth of the matter is we all deserved Hell, yet we received Heaven because of Christ's work on the cross.
- The thief was saved from Hell, saved to Heaven and saved by Grace.
- There were two thieves crucified with Jesus that day; what made one of them ask for forgiveness while the other continued to hurl insults at the messiah? Simple, one watched how Jesus hung on the cross and that made all the difference in the this life and in the life to come!
- Tonight was the home concert from our New Creation tour at FCC. We really do have a talented group of students, but what is more amazing is their character.
- Well selection Sunday has come and gone - got your bracket done yet?
- My son graduates in less than 8 weeks!
- I celebrated 2 years of employment at FCC this past week, boy has my life changed since 2011 (but that is another post)
- Something to chew on; From today's message - If you were to die tonight, and God asked you “Why should you be allowed to enter my heaven?” what would you say? I would not say it is because I grew up in the church, I would not say it is because I preached the gospel every week for the last 32 years, or that I loved my wife and was kind to my kids. I would say, God I am a sinner, and nothing in my hand I bring, but to the cross I cling.
