This Palm Sunday, we will witness one of the most surprising moments in all of Scripture: a dying criminal's cry for mercy and Jesus' stunning response: "Today you will be with me in Paradise."

Drawing from Luke 23:32–43, we will trace the biblical story of Paradise given, Paradise lost, and Paradise regained—from the Garden of Eden to the cross of Calvary. Along the way, we'll be confronted with an honest question: Are we more like the first criminal, trusting in our own self-sufficiency to get what we want out of life, or are we willing to see Jesus as he truly is—battered, crucified, and dying in our place?
