Pastor Henry HansenSeries: Pocket Prayers: Five Prayers To Promote A Life Of Joy, Peace, and ContentmentLuke 23:34
Not all mourning is the same. Some sorrow leads to despair, while godly sorrow leads to repentance, comfort, and freedom. In this message, we examine the spiritual pattern of recognizing sin, mourning over it, turning to God, and experiencing transformation through His grace. No matter how far you feel from God, His comfort is available for the brokenhearted who are willing to come to Him honestly.

We consider the first words spoken by Jesus while hanging on the cross
Send us Fan MailA hard question sits at the center of this Good Friday message: when Jesus prays, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” who is the “them.” We follow a provocative reading that points not only to empire and executioners, but to religious leaders and believers who protect comfort, status, and institutional survival while an innocent man is murdered.From Luke 23:34 to 35, the line “the people stood by watching” becomes the hinge. We talk about the silence of the church as a real moral force, not a passive absence. The sermon draws straight lines from biblical history to Christian social justice today, arguing that churches can get lost in debates and performance while communities are crushed by policy, poverty, and violence. The result is a faith that sounds loud inside the sanctuary and goes quiet where pain is public.To widen the lens, we bring in Martin Luther King Jr. on the “appalling silence” of good people and Martin Niemoller's warning about what happens when you only speak up once harm reaches your doorstep. We also point to Janelle Monae's “Hell You Talmbout” as a cultural witness that turns grief into naming, and naming into action, especially amid conversations about Black Lives Matter, racial justice, and police violence.If you've ever wondered why younger generations distrust church talk that never becomes public courage, this is for you.

Luke 23:34, “Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.” Jesus didn't wait for them to get it right – he loved them while they were getting it wrong. He shows supreme mercy. Forgiveness disarmed the enemy's strategy. Now, he asks us to do the same. Matthew 5:44, “Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!” Disarm the enemy of his strategy against you with FORGIVENESS!

Father Forgive: Our Misplacement
11am Series: Words of the Cross (Easter 2026) Luke 23:24
In Week 1 of our “Last Words” series, we look at the first words Jesus spoke from the cross in Gospel of Luke 23:32–38: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”Pastor Tex begins with a personal story about his grandfather's final words. He reminds us that last words carry deep meaning and reveal what matters most. In the same way, the final words of Jesus reveal the very heart of God.At the cross we see two powerful truths:• The depth of human brokenness, humanity rejecting the very Savior sent to rescue us.• The depth of God's mercy, Jesus praying for forgiveness even while being crucified.This message explores how the cross exposes our need for forgiveness and shows that God's first response toward sinners is not judgment, but mercy. Through Jesus' sacrifice, the debt of our sin can be released and replaced with new life.Finally, we're challenged with a difficult but life-changing question: If Jesus has forgiven us, will we choose to forgive others?Forgiven people forgive. And learning to release the debts others owe us is part of following Jesus.

On the way to the place of crucifixion Simon of Cyrene was pulled from the crowd to carry the cross of Christ. What is your cross to bear? Join us for the message “Father, Forgive Them.”
Father Forgive ThemEphesians 4:31-32 “ Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."Speaker: Pastor Rachel John
In today's episode, Nate, Evan, and Courtney discuss the first of Jesus' phrases said from the cross--"Father, forgive them for they don't know what they are doing." Let's jump into this loaded statement.
Luke 23:26-34 The Crucifixion 26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,' and to the hills, ‘Cover us.' 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?” 32 Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Signs of the End of the Age 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray.5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray.6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.10 And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another.11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
