3 Lessons from 3 Crosses (Truth Bombs Midweek 5 - Pastor Timothy)

3 Lessons from 3 Crosses (Truth Bombs Midweek 5 - Pastor Timothy)

Author: 922 Ministries March 19, 2026 Duration: 28:45

In this powerful midweek message, we explore the profound meaning of sacrifice and the life-changing promises found at Calvary. Drawing from the heart-wrenching account of a Vietnam veteran at the 1986 Chicago Welcome Home Parade, we are reminded of the importance of never growing "dull" to the sacrifices made on our behalf,,.
Tracing the Three Crosses Using Luke 23:32-43 as our guide, we look at the three distinct crosses on the "hill of the skull" and the promises they represent,:
* The Cross of Absolute Tragedy: We examine the choice of the impenitent thief who, despite being inches away from the Savior, chose to leave this life in unbelief,. This serves as a sobering reminder of the reality of hell for those who reject God's grace.
* The Cross of Unbelievable Victory: We witness the "11th-hour rescue" of the penitent thief. In a moment of "buzzer-beating victory," this man recognized his own sin, acknowledged Jesus' holiness, and was promised a place in paradise through grace alone,,.
* The Cross of Finished Redemption: Finally, we fix our eyes on the middle cross, where Jesus Christ offered the greatest sacrifice of all. Here, He kept the promise of a finished redemption, ensuring that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life,.

Are you living a life of profound gratitude for the one who gave His life for you? This sermon challenges us to look closely at our own hearts and the hearts of those we love, urging us to "be the gospel and share the gospel" while there is still time,.
"I’ve been looking through the book, and legally it says you don’t have to go.". Through Christ’s sacrifice, heaven and forgiveness are yours.
