Easter weekend meant two services and two sermons at DSC, both of them worth hearing again or passing along to a friend.<\/p>\n
Here are links to audio, along with the sermon texts:<\/p>\n
Good Friday: “Three Criminals<\/a>”<\/p>\n One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But the other rebuked him, saying, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And he said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And he said to him, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Easter Sunday: “Raised with Christ<\/a>”<\/p>\n \nAnd you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience\u00e2\u20ac\u201damong whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ\u00e2\u20ac\u201dby grace you have been saved\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
