Sermon - March 12, 2017 - Repent: Turn to Jesus! He Holds the Key to Heaven

The sermon for The Second Sunday in Lent, March 12, 2017. The sermon text is based on Luke 23:35-43.

 

Today's Focus: Repent: Turn to Jesus; He Holds the Key to Heaven. God is very clear in His Word: to get into heaven on your own, you need to be perfect. To have done more good than bad, or to simply try really hard to do right, or to do some amount of moral or social good won't cut it. Be perfect, and heaven is yours. Of course, that is bad news for us all. God's Word tells us what we already know: all have sinned and fall short of this perfection. The solution? Look to Jesus. He lived perfectly for us, died for our sins, and rose from the dead to freely give us what we could never earn: heaven. He is thekey. He is the way. Turn to him.
