Good Friday 2023

April 7, 2023

Good Friday marks the day that Jesus was unlawfully tried and brutally murdered on a cross outside Jerusalem, nearly 2,000 years ago. It can seem so far removed from our lives—historically and culturally—that we simply dismiss it as a mere footnote of history. But, it is not a footnote. Good Friday marks the culmination of the redemptive promises of God in the substitutionary death of Jesus, to rescue all who place their faith in him.

The Incomparable Glory of the Risen Jesus

March 31, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Revelation 1:9–20

On Good Friday we remembered Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In our passage today, we get a glimpse into real reality with the incomparable glory of the risen Jesus at the center. It reminds us that no matter what we face, or how bad things may look, the risen Jesus is at work in unimaginable ways.

Waiting For His Son Whom He Raised

April 9, 2023 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • 1 Thessalonians 1:2–10

On Good Friday we remembered Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate Jesus' climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he draws a line from Jesus' resurrection to his return. He argues that the reality of the former guarantees the reality of the latter. But, did Jesus rise? How do we know? Can we know?

Inexpressible Joy Filled With Glory

April 17, 2022 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • 1 Peter 1:3–9

On Good Friday, we gathered to remember Jesus’ death on the cross for the forgiveness of sin. Today, on Easter, we gather to rejoice in Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. To that end, we will sing, recite the Apostles Creed, read Scripture, and consider where deep, solid joy is found from 1 Peter 1:3-9. He is risen!
