Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when he compared himself to the Bronze Serpent in the book of Numbers? Nicodemus probably did. This was a good Friday service.
Just as the Serpent was lifted up The first time he had met Jesus it was in the dark, and there was just him and the master. We see him at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and then we hear him speak in defence of Jesus halfway through the story and then we don’t see him again until ...read more

Four Soldiers were at the foot of the cross, but they were not repenting, but gambling! Why? Because they were distracted by Duty, Desires, and Deception.
Intro: Easter is coming earlier this year and I have been thinking about the cross. This morning, I would like to look at four men whose names we are not given. They are the four soldiers that gambled for Jesus’ clothes. One of the mysteries of the crucifixion is that there were so many who ...read more

The cross is hideous. It’s not a pretty thing we hang on our walls. It’s not a fine piece of jewelry hanging from our neck. It is the most brutal instrument of death ever conceived by the cruel mind of man.
For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life on earth. With each of those events, we’ve seen a sense of urgency. Each week we have seen an example of urgency. But this morning is different. In this morning’s passage, our Lord shows a sense of ...read more

“No longer … but..Finally…” Sub title “Into thy Hands” Luke 23:46 Tradition teaches us these are his last two words he spoke. In honoring such, right here I must say “it is finished!” “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!” These are the last two utterances spoken here by Jesus the ...read more

A thorn of crowns He wore for you Matthew 27:29 “And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!” When they mocked Him with a crown of thorns it was one of the ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 27:29
A sermon that accompanies the Good Friday service, the way of the cross. It encourages us to see that the cross is necessary for our future and it is the way for all Christians.
Many people encounter difficulties in their life, but how many of us are prepared to constantly encounter difficulties so others can benefit, which might cost us something and where we might lose something? One day a fireman, attending a blaze heard that there was a little baby still in a blazing ...read more

Jesus was killed while Barabbas, the genuinely guilty, was set free. This is a picture of salvation in that Jesus died so we, the guilty, may be set free.
The Irony of Good Friday… I am sure that the irony that reveals itself in the fact that we refer to today as Good Friday does not escape our minds. From the perspective of all who bore eyewitness to the events that transpired during the 24 hours of that first Good Friday, it was anything ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 27:15-23
Our text takes place on the eve of the Israelites' liberation from Egypt. They are instructed to slaughter a lamb and prepare it for consumption with bitter herbs. They are also commanded to take the lamb's blood and use it to mark the outside door posts of their houses. This act of faith and obedience would signal their homes to be passed over during the final plague. This message explores the significance of this act and the powerful symbolism it holds for us today.
Today, we gather to reflect on the significance of the blood of Jesus Christ. Just as the Israelites applied the blood of a lamb to their doorposts for protection and deliverance, we too can find hope and transformation through the blood of Jesus. Let us explore how the blood of Jesus provides ...read more

Scripture: Luke 23:42-43
Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).
The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more
