The Only 2 Responses To Jesus

We're blessed to hear from our Teaching & Creative Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a message from Luke 23:32-43 about an encounter between Jesus and a condemned criminal. In today's message, we find a notorious criminal whose late conversion to Christianity challenges our understanding of God's limitless mercy. This points us to this truth: true life is found in fearing and honoring Jesus. We're observing Luke's account of Jesus' crucifixion, taking special interest in the significance of His interactions with the criminals beside him. One criminal mocked Jesus, while the other, recognizing Jesus’ innocence and divinity, sought his mercy. This pivotal moment highlights the point that acknowledging Jesus as Lord - fearing him - is the pathway to eternal life. Our response to Jesus - whether doubt or dependence - determines our eternal destiny. "Life is found when Jesus is feared." - Pastor Brant Cole
