Good Friday 2025
April 18 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
On the darkest day in history, as Jesus breathed His last, a Roman centurion—one who had likely witnessed countless crucifixions—stood in awe. Looking at the way Jesus died, he uttered the words that echo through the ages: “Surely this was the Son of God.” This statement, spoken by an unlikely witness, reminds us that the cross demands a response. The events of Good Friday are not distant history—they are the defining moment of our faith. As we gather in Broadway Chapel, we will reflect on the weight of the cross, the sacrifice of Jesus, and the power of recognition—what it means to see Jesus for who He truly is.
At this special Good Friday service, we will:
- Reflect on the final moments of Jesus’ life.
- Look at the centurion’s response and consider what it means to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God.
- Worship in solemn reflection, letting the weight of the cross prepare our hearts for Easter Sunday.
- Share a meal together after the service, gathering as a community.
The cross still speaks. Jesus’ suffering was not an accident—it was the culmination of God’s plan to redeem the world. The questions we must all wrestle with are: Have I truly seen Jesus for who He is? Am I standing at the foot of the cross in awe or indifference? How will I respond to His sacrifice?
Good Friday is not the end of the story. But without the cross, there is no resurrection.
Come. See. Remember. Behold the Lamb of God.
