“Cesar Millan has been called a Dr. Phil for dogs, and for good reason. Cesar's amazing rehabilitations of aggressive, scared, lazy, compulsive, and jealous dogs captured the national spotlight when his National Geographic Channel series Dog Whisperer premiered in September 2004. Regular viewers soon came to realize it wasn't the dogs but the quirky owners who needed Cesar's help the most.” (quote from his website) While Cesar may help us deal with our canine friends, who do we turn to for help with the daunting task of parenting? Kids do not come with owner's manuals and parents need help. For over 2000 years there has been a best selling parenting manual who many have ignored. The Bible has principles for every area of parenting and they work if only we will apply them.

Life. Money. Hope. Biblical advice in difficult times with special guest Dave Ramsey

In this passage, Jesus is assuring one of the criminals on the cross that when he died, he would be with Jesus in heaven. This was granted because even at the hour of his death, the criminal had expressed his faith in Jesus.

Why did God abandon Jesus on the cross? Why did this have to happen?

On the cross Jesus said these words “It is finished.” It was his victory cry. He had completely fulfilled the work that God had planned for him. While Jesus could say it is finished, we are a work in progress, we have unfinished business in our lives. That is good news, God is not finished with us yet!

Those who crucified Jesus were not aware of the full scope of what they were doing because they did not recognize Him as the Messiah.

What are you going to do with your life? You really only have three alternatives. You can spend your life. You can waste your life. Or you can invest your life. I want to suggest to you that the greatest use of your life is to invest it in something that outlasts it. That's called leaving a legacy.

This week in worship we talked about Philemon vs 8-16. We saw how the Apostle Paul was used by God to build bridges between two believers who had relational conflict.

We need to choose to be those people who focus their lives on encouraging others rather than tearing them down. Focusing on being an encourager is exactly what Paul did so come and learn how you can make that a common practice in your life.

Lessons from Paul, Philemon and Onesimus on how God can change our life for His purpose.
