Call to Worship

Lord of light, we seek your face in the darkness.
Like children, we fear the dark. But you, Heavenly Father, meet us here.

Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night shines like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Teach us to look to Jesus.
He is the Light of the world who entered our darkness.

We look to Jesus.
He was plunged into darkness with us and for us.
We look to Jesus.
The darkness has not overcome Him.
The darkness will not overcome Him.

— Adapted from Psalm 139:12, John 1:5

Confession

Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Jesus came with no outward glory—no beauty that drew us in—and still, He came for us.

He was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;

we turned away from Him—and yet He did not turn away from us.

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;

yet we considered Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

But it was for us—

He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was placed upon Him,

and by His wounds we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

For our sake, He made Him to be sin who knew no sin—

So that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

(repeat together, slower)

So that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

–Isaiah 53:1-6, 2 Corinthians 5:21

Good Friday Sermon

Timothy Paul Jones

44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three, 45 because the sun’s light failed. The curtain of the sanctuary was split down the middle. 46 And Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” Saying this, he breathed his last.
