Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities.

Watch as this Good Friday service reminds us of sin, sacrifice, and salvation.

Remember Christ's Sacrifice for you.

    A Reflection on the Last Seven Words of Jesus (Greg Force - CEO Tindall)

We remember today, the pain and suffering of the cross, and all that Jesus was willing to endure, so we could be set free. He paid the price, such a great sacrifice, to offer us the gift of eternal life.

THE FIRST WORD

“Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34)

Most blessed Jesus, through your suffering, you paid for our sins. Give us a deep hatred of sin. Grant us a tender spirit toward sinners and help us to forgive those who have sinned against us.

THE SECOND WORD

“Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43)

Most blessed Lord Jesus, you forgave the thief on the cross. Look on us with mercy and compassion. Give us a strong faith in you, a humble remembrance of our sins, and the strength to confess you before others.

THE THIRD WORD

“Woman behold your Son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” (John 19:26–27)

O Holy Lord Jesus, you left us an example of holy love by leaving your mother in the care of the disciple. Purify our own feelings and pour out your blessings on our homes and relationships.

THE FOURTH WORD

“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46)

O blessed Lord Jesus, you bitterly suffered alone on the cross and experienced the anguish of separation. Come, and be with us in times of despair and loneliness and transform our sadness into fellowship with you.

THE FIFTH WORD

“I thirst” (John 19:28)

O most blessed Jesus, you who thirsted and experienced pain for us. Kindle in our hearts a thirst for you that we may love and serve you and lead others to find their rest in you.

THE SIXTH WORD

“It is finished” (John 19:30)

O most blessed Savior, you proclaimed the perfect fulfillment of your work and bowed your wounded head in completion. Work in us the grace of your salvation that we might live in union with you.

THE SEVENTH WORD

“Father into thy hands I commit my spirit!” (Luke 23:46)

O most blessed Savior, you gave up your precious life to atone for sin and conquer the powers of evil. Grant us the power to live in your name. Do not forsake us in our hour of need.

Thank you Father for sending your Son!
