When we gather as a church, our focus is Jesus and our goal is to share Jesus with the world.

Jesus is always the answer and the antidote to every problem.

This message is for those who are stuck in a certain belief, thought process, habit or bondage.

Luke 23:32-43 - When we don’t like something about ourselves, we project that upon others.
We tend to unconsciously find someone that is worse than us in that area of weakness and judge him/her.
This is to deflect the problem and make us feel better about ourselves.
The two robbers on the cross couldn’t stop stealing until they were caught—it cost them their lives.
The unrepentant man knew he was a robber but he thought that Jesus was worse than him—Jesus was claiming to be God.
The repentant robber had great faith. He believed that the man suffering on the cross next to him was God who never committed a single sin.
The repentant robber died not as a robber, but as a forgiven man. He went to Paradise.
What did this man see in Jesus?
The two robbers on the cross were in so much pain. Usually when people are in pain, they can only think about their pain.
The only thing that can eclipse your pain is Jesus. He can captivate your heart.
God doesn’t just remember you—you are always on His mind.
God’s thoughts towards us are about how to prosper us, give us a future and a hope.
Jesus must have smiled through all that pain as he assured the robber that he wouldbe with Him in Paradise.

“There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!” But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭23:32-43‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Matthew 27:44 - Matthew’s account records that both robbers were mocking Jesus.
There is no contradiction with Luke’s account.
It just makes the story fuller. One of the robbers had a change of heart.

“The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭27:44‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Mark 15:32 - Mark’s account also says that both robbers were mocking Jesus.

“Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.” ‭‭(Mark‬ ‭15:32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The repentant robber started off insulting Jesus, but he had a sudden change of heart. What could have caused this transformation? As you see Jesus in His beauty, negative behavioral patterns in your life will be broken!

Seeing Jesus in His forgiveness changes your heart

​Luke 23:34 - Jesus had every right to be angry at the people who were crucifying Him, but instead, He prayed forgiveness over the people who were torturing Him.
Jesus apparently prayed this over and over again.
Could this be what the repentant robber heard and saw that began the change of his heart?

“While they were nailing Jesus to the cross, he prayed over and over, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.” The soldiers, after they crucified him, gambled over his clothing.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭23:34‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

There is no power in asking people to try harder to change themselves.

As persecutors were stoning Stephen (the first Christian martyr), he asked God not to charge that sin against them.
He was obviously impacted by Jesus’ prayer, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.”

People who came to see Jesus’ crucifixion for entertainment left beating their chests, knowing that what they did wasn’t right.

No one has ever died so majestically like Jesus. No one has ever died and rose again, and conquered Hell, sin and the grave like Him.

Romans 8:27 - The Holy Spirit is always praying for you. How wide, deep and amazing is God’s love for you!

“He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.” ‭‭(Romans‬ ‭8:27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Some testimonials of my writing:

"Great writer and theologian. I love your work. You are in tune with the Holy Spirit."

- Pastor Dave Hammond, Faith Baptist Church of Myra, USA

"Milton Goh my brother, your insight on Grace has set me free from 20 yrs of addiction. I was a 7 time felon but by the GRACE of God I am now an ordained minister. Here is some of my story: I was saved in Dec 2016 and started evangelizing in July of 2017 as soon as I was released. My ministry has led over 800 to Jesus. I go to jails, rehabs, homeless shelters plus numerous churches! Your notes and sermons allowed me to find rest in Jesus. I was getting tired trying to perform what I thought God needed from me. You have made me realize it's 100% the CROSS and now I go constantly for Jesus but never get tired. Thanks for your wisdom and love for Jesus. May God bless you and your family!"

- Evangelist Michael Clark from Cumberland, Kentucky, USA

"Milton Goh gives common sense insight on often confusing scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times."

- Mike Garrett, first Editor/ Publisher for Stephen King and Author of Christian Novel "Innocence Denied", from USA

* Please Take Note: These sermon notes are not official New Creation Church (NCC) or Pastor Joseph Prince sermon notes. These sermon notes are not affiliated with NCC or Pastor Prince.
I highly recommend purchasing Pastor Prince's sermons on his mobile app "Joseph Prince" on Apple App Store or Google Play Store even after you read these notes as I may have missed out something he shared and the overall experience is definitely different when you listen to him preaching directly!
​Use these notes as a revision guide instead of solely depending on them!

These sermon notes are independently-compiled by me, and I'm just a loyal and regular attendee of the the church's Sunday services, and I feel led to take detailed personal sermon notes of Pastor Prince's anointed messages to share them with the world, which desperately needs the true word of God and the original gospel of grace.

I feel blessed to be able to attend Pastor Joseph Prince's services in person, and would like to help everyone who isn't able to attend in person, to get hold of the messages as soon as it is preached!​​​
