Holy Thursday • It's like Lent is over. But the worst is yet to come. Good Friday, the darkest day, is sandwiched between the beautiful moment of Holy Thursday and the even greater moment of Easter Sunday. God gives us the beautiful moments so that we trust Him in the difficult moments. God can give us any challenge because He will face it with us. But we often run away because we don't have confidence in God's faithfulness. Can your faith survive Good Friday?

Going Deeper Read and reflect on the Footprints in the Sand poem in light of Good Friday. How does the Cross look different if God the Father was carrying His Son Jesus through the Passion? How has God carried you?
Thank you Tom and Sue for the Holy Thursday donation and warm wishes. And thank you to our newest partners Gary and Sally and the friend who introduced them to the preaching podcast. Real friends share the preaching podcast.
