What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025

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).

All Things Good Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Mar 3, 2006

And in the process I ran across what seemed to me to be a pretty good sermon on the ...read more
