Todays message comes out of the book of Daniel 3. Daniel…Book of prophecy and people. An outline of the ages, views of the end times. The triumphal entry. The cross…the destruction of Jerusalem. The antichrist…the tribulation…end-time rulers. But it is also a book of people. Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The trials and triumphs of men of faith. Three men who are tried by fire. The great image. Bow or Burn. They refused to bow…but yet they did not burn …this is a passage of scripture the Holy Spirit has given me many times to use but seems always with a different angle…and that is the same this week… My prayer is you will be blessed.

These people aren’t always who you expect. We often think of people who are valuable are people  who are of high positions like a president, congressmen, banker, or even a famous person. Today our message come from Acts 4:12-14. The Priests and their evaluation of Peter and John they called them ignorant and unlearned. They would do more to change the world than all in Jerusalem. Thirteen men who changed the world. One doctor, one intellectual, and the rest unlettered. Look at a map of the world and see the impact of their lives. Today we will see why they were the most valuable men in town.

“The Word Of Assurance” todays message come to us from Luke 23:44-46. The seventh word from the cross, begins like the first: “Father”. The first on behalf of others, this one a personal word of His own.  Lessons from the Lord’s last word.We can all have a personal relationship with our heavenly Father. We come into this personal relationship through childlike faith. We can have absolute assurance about life after physical death. I invite you to come in faith to the One who died for you. Become a child of the heavenly Father and experience His peace in the most trying of life’s situations.

They Watched Him There. Today’s message comes out of Matthew 27: 36 “And sitting down they watched him there; We have studies in the passion and power of our Lord. The cross through Easter. This intense hour: Christ’s last words, last looks. Moving ever toward the cross. The Passover, the Lord’s table, betrayal. The mock trial. Pilate: “Behold the man”.  Account of the crucifixion (Matt. 27:27-36). The soldiers at the cross. They watched complacently in the hour of the crucifixion. They watched calmly in the hour of the world’s greatest crisis. The watched carelessly in the hour of God’s greatest example of caring.

Today’s message “Jesus Identified With Sinners” is found in Matthew 27:46. The first three words from the cross. “Father forgive them” Shows His pity for men. “Today, thou shall be with me.” This shows His power to save, and three “Woman behold thy son.” Shows His provision for those He loved. The difficult Word: “God forsaken of God, who can understand that?” This is the word that identifies Jesus with sinners. One Jesus Identifies With The Sinner’s Darkness (v.45) Two Jesus Identifies With The Sinner’s Uncertainty (v.46) Three Jesus Identifies With The Sinner’s Separation From God (v.46) It is not necessary for you to continue in darkness and uncertainty. The most important question you must ask yourself “Do I Identify with Him? If you turn from sin and turn to Christ and trust Him as your Savior, you in fact can have A Blessed Life!

Today’s message “Three Crosses on Calvary’s Hill” found in  Luke 23:33-43. I believe there are three great incentives to live for Christ. 1. The Holiness of our God (Isa. 6), 2. The return of Christ (1 Jn. 2:28), and The cross: The greatest demonstration of His holiness and love. But let us look to Calvary. Jesus dying there with two thieves: one on either side. One dying for sin. One dying in sin. One dying sin. We know two were completely guilty. One completely innocent. Two paying their debt to society. One paying OUR debt to sin. Our prayer is that today’s message will give you the hope and assurance the Jesus Loves You.
