Summary
In this episode, pastor Suzy Silk continues our Lenten sermon series, examining Jesus' final words from the cross. Through Jesus' death, we find ultimate salvation. // 2019-03-24
"Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father,forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is God's Messiah, the Chosen One." The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself." There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews. One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!" But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."

| 0:08.6 | around the city and around the world. We really had a remarkable year in the history of our church |
| 0:15.1 | this year. We've seen more people come to Christ than ever. And God is drawing near to our church. And I just wanted to just say thanks |
| 0:24.0 | for being a part of our listening and online community. And to remind all of you that we are doing an |
| 0:30.3 | offering this year called Living the Liturgy. Every week in our church, we say a liturgy asking God |
| 0:35.5 | to form our hearts out of mammon, greed and overconsumption |
| 0:38.8 | into being people who live by faith, give generously and trust the Lord with our finances. |
| 0:44.9 | And I just wanted to invite those of you who are part of our online community to consider giving to that. |
| 0:50.6 | We are getting ready for another really amazing year here in New York and we are so grateful for |
| 0:57.7 | the encouragement, prayers and support that we hear from so many who listen into this. |
| 1:02.1 | So I would ask you just to consider praying and asking the Lord if he would have you be one |
| 1:07.6 | of our partners who help the mission of God continue through New York City. |
| 1:12.8 | We wish everybody who listened would come and move to New York and join us, but we realize |
| 1:17.2 | that's not everybody's call and it's not possible. But you can join us in prayer and support |
| 1:23.9 | and enable what happens here in the city to be a part of your ministry legacy |
