Good Friday is a great day for spiritual growth. Jesus Christ suffered the wrath of sin for the salvation of all who believe. He did this out of love for His Father and love for the sinful world - including you and me.
The church I pastor is called Advance Community Church. We are not gathering for a Good Friday service this year. Instead, it is our desire for people to do these 3 things throughout the course of the day - individually or as a family.
Meditate
a) Reflect on the following Scriptures:
Isaiah 53:3-6, John 3:16-21, Romans 5:6-10, 1 Corinthians 1:18, Philippians 2:1-11
b) Spend at least 5 minutes in prayer asking God to reveal these passages to you in a fresh manner. (You may need to read them again!)
c) Ask God to forgive you for any part of Jesus' sacrifice you've taken for granted
d) Be thankful for the grace given to you through Jesus Christ

Listen to this playlist of worship.
Mention
Faith in Jesus Christ is not meant to be secret. The Apostle Paul described Christians as "ambassadors for Christ". Look at what he said for yourself - 2 Corinthians 5:16-21. Ask God for at least one opportunity this weekend to mention the good news of Jesus to someone you know (friend, neighbor, co-worker, etc.). Share, or re-share, your story of faith to people within your family - parents, siblings, and/or children.
May the peace and power of God shape our soul as we grow this weekend. ...all for the glory of Jesus Christ.
