Last night our church worshiped together on Good Friday and focused on the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The service was built around the “Seven Last Words of Jesus.” Each “word” from the cross had a companion Scripture as we meditated on Jesus’ last moments on the cross. The Scriptures that we used are listed below and I’ve included a couple of videos of songs that we sang last night. If you missed our time together, take some time to worship at home, meditating on the cross of Jesus.
