Good Friday 2011

This day, nearly 2000 years ago, was filled with the kind of emotional and physical pain that we can barely imagine. The eyes of a loving mother filled with the sight of her precious child being ridiculed and tortured to death. Surely a sword pierced her immaculate heart. The ears of a loving friend filled with the cries of his caring teacher as he stood by, the only disciple there. John was given Mary, to support and care for, until her time to take her throne in Heaven. She was given to all of us as well. That day the hearts of the hatefully violent overflowed with blood shed by their own twisted justice. They rolled dice for a dying mans clothes, each hoping it was their lucky day. We stand in awe of this sacrifice that was made for all, so that our sins could be forgiven. Divine justice was served by the only advocate who could ever stand in for us: The Son of Man, the Son of God, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

We believe that:

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.  -John 3:16

Sin and Salvation, the trials of life

The Gospel of Jesus, that cuts like a knife

To the core of your Soul

To the depths of your Heart

You want to know the way

But you don't know where to start

Brother, open the door

What are you waiting for?

I know you hear his voice

now it's time to make a choice...

Demons and Angels, and spiritual war

You can't get to Heaven by obeying the law

You need Faith in Jesus and his blood that was spilled

Now come to his supper, your cup will be filled

Children, open the door

What are you waiting for?

I know you hear his voice

now it's time to make a choice...

Justice and Mercy, our slain Lamb on the Throne

God's unblemished sacrifice, with not one broken bone

Abandoned and tortured, He died for our sin

Now kneel before him, that's where you begin

Sister, open the door

What are you waiting for?

You have the invitation

Now join the celebration...
