Repentance is laying down my sin and trusting that God has something so much better for me. The fruit of faith is repentance. I see my sin, I grieve over it, I confess it. God I've sinned against you and you alone. And I'm going to turn from it. I'm going to put it to death, I hate it, the way you hate it God. And I want to live in the Rescue, the Redemption that you provide.

The Gospel is the remedy to the problem of the heart. The only remedy. Nothing else will ever solve it. These buckets will never ever satisfy. We're not the Rescuer! Jesus is the Rescuer and He Rescued us! That's why we have hope, that's why we have life today.

Rescue, won't be found in yourself, won't be found in others, the world can't provide it, and religion can't bring it. There's nothing in you that can bring rescue to you. Nothing that can satisfy that void inside of you. The good news is, there is something that can and that's what this series will answer.

Obedience to God brings joy. If you've never been baptized, let us encourage you to take the step of obedience and get baptized. It will be one of the most impactful things you'll ever do.

Jesus, with His last breath teaches us something vitally important - He displays the ultimate surrender to the will of God - some of us have been fighting this for a long time. For many of us we are here in this moment and we've fought against praying this out because we still want control, we want our own desires, we feel we aren't good enough, or we just simply can't believe that Jesus would die for us…but the truth is - JESUS DIED FOR EACH OF US…Paul tells us in Romans 10 that if we confess our sins with our mouths and declare He is the Lord of our lives by His death and resurrection on the cross, that we will be saved!

Over the last few weeks we've looked at the last words Jesus said on the cross. This week, what He says while completing what He set out to do truly impacts our lives. And, the best part of that is, it's GOOD NEWS!

Has there ever been a time in your life that you were really thirsty? The kind of thirst where all you can think about is getting a drink. I've been there in sports, playing in the yard as a kid on a hot summer day, or even something too spicy at a restaurant. In this week's message, we see that Jesus expresses His thirst and how this small phrase carries a big meaning.

As Jesus was hanging on the cross, He experienced ridicule, mocking, and insults. The people who were asking Him to get off the cross were the same ones he was staying on there for. That's you. That's us! And in that moment, Jesus says something that, if we're paying attention, means more than we might expect.

The Love of your children - when we see them going through pain and struggles - it's hard…but I think it can be equally as hard as the child seeing your parents go through those struggles too. Children, honor your mother and father…what does this mean for us in our lives? Even in death? This was part of Jesus' famous last words.

Have you ever thought about what your last words will be? As Christians, we're forced to wrestle with what our last words will be…will they reflect how we lived our lives or will there be a desperate plea for forgiveness or of regret?
