Good Friday services aren’t really done in the independent Christian Churches very often. This year, I decided to do one. We really didn’t know what to expect, but all in all it went pretty well. One of the Elders said that at anything on a Friday night in the past would pull in maybe a dozen people. We had about 80 for the service tonight. We have been running in the 130’s the past several weeks, so I feel that was good response!
I tried to stay away from people after the service, because I didn’t want the empty platitudes, I wanted them to be meditating on what Jesus actually went through for them.
I stole the idea for the sermon from Terry Bowland at Ozark Christian College! He had said in class one day that “There they crucified Him” would make a great 4 point sermon, and sure enough it does!
- There – The most unholy place
- They – The most unholy people
- Crucified – The most unholy death
- Him – The most Holy Person!
I gave each person a carpenter’s nail as a reminder of the spikes that were driven into the hands and feet of Jesus to take on our sin.
I hope people encountered God!
