What if we’re on the way to Heaven – and we have to take a detour? A trip to Hell. Some think the Bible says Jesus went to Hell during the time between His death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day – what we now know as Easter. So why not us?

And they all tell it pretty much the same way. All three leave us with questions. Why did the healed man have to go see a Jewish priest? Why was that necessary? And to make it even more odd, Jesus told the man not to tell anyone how he was healed! What’s going on?

The Problem of Being Selfish. Yes, most of us know being selfish isn’t good. And we’re really good at recognizing when other people are selfish. But do we know when we are being selfish? Furthermore, for Christians, do we even realize the full extent of our selfishness? Not to mention, how we should react when other Christians are selfish? It may not be what you think.

Who were the other two men on the crosses with Jesus? They were us. You and me. They were everyone who has ever heard the name of Jesus. It’s a simple story. Quite short. Twelve verses. In Luke’s Gospel. And yet, it tells the story of every one of us. Let’s see why it’s so important that we know their story. And through them, our story.

Does going to church make you feel good? Going to church and feeling like we just had a good cup of coffee really shouldn’t make us feel the same way. Either we’re way too focused in on coffee, or we’re really not that into going to church!
