Sermon Text: Luke 23: 39-49
39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” 44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. 49 And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.
Theme: “Trust in Jesus Overwhelms Doubt and Worry”

➢ Where is the proof that you can trust the promises that Jesus makes:
➢ Why does Jesus have the right to say to the criminal on the right “today you will be with Me in Paradise”
➢ What are some of the ways that you deal with “worry” in your life:
➢ How do you deal with “doubt” in your life:
➢ Consider Jesus and what He promises to you and has done for you and how that blesses you:
