Forsaken - Good Friday Service 2014
Psalm 22:1-31; Ephesians 3:17-19
Skip Heitzig
Psalm 22 (NKJV™) | |
1 | To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Deer of the Dawn.' A Psalm of David. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning? |
2 | O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent. |
3 | But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. |
4 | Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. |
5 | They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed. |
6 | But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people. |
7 | All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, |
8 | "He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!" |
9 | But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother's breasts. |
10 | I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother's womb You have been My God. |
11 | Be not far from Me, For trouble is near; For there is none to help. |
12 | Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. |
13 | They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion. |
14 | I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me. |
15 | My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. |
16 | For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; |
17 | I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. |
18 | They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots. |
19 | But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! |
20 | Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. |
21 | Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me. |
22 | I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. |
23 | You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel! |
24 | For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard. |
25 | My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him. |
26 | The poor shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! |
27 | All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You. |
28 | For the kingdom is the LORD'S, And He rules over the nations. |
29 | All the prosperous of the earth Shall eat and worship; All those who go down to the dust Shall bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep himself alive. |
30 | A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, |
31 | They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this. |
Ephesians 3 (NKJV™) | |
17 | that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, |
18 | may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- |
19 | to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. |

In Psalm 22, we read an account of death and suffering like no other, but that was exactly what Christ endured on the cross for us, experiencing the separation from God that we should have. The cross points to God's great love for us, and in it we see the depth of our sin, the height of God's love, the width of our salvation, and the length God will go to bring us to Himself.
These Good Friday messages focus on the overarching truth of the old covenant—"without shedding of blood there is no remission" of sins (Hebrews 9:22)—as well as how Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross ushered in a new covenant between mankind and God.

Info Message Summary What does Good Friday mean to you? Is it just another Friday? Is it just a day off from school or work? For the Christian, Good Friday is the day we pause in remembrance that Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb of God, was slain for the sins of humanity. It is the time when we remember that Jesus was rejected by man and selected for sacrifice, and that He suffered unimaginable pain and torture as He was scourged and crucified. It is the day we remember that the One who was without sin became sin for each one of us. Let this Good Friday be like no other Friday in your year as you remember the price He paid for you. |

Good Friday Service 2010 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Sometimes bad news is good news. There's one story, for example, of a woman whose alarm failed to go off, she overslept and was late to work; bad news, right? Until you hear the rest of the story. This woman worked at the World Trade Center, and the date was September 11, 2001. Suddenly, what seemed like misfortune is recognized as a wonderful blessing. Have you ever considered what makes Good Friday so good? Let's remember the death of Jesus, and consider the new life available through His sacrifice. |

I Dare You to Love - Good Friday Service 2013 John 15:9-14 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The greatest demonstration of love—true love—is Jesus, who left heaven, came to earth, went to the cross, and paid the ultimate penalty. He was buried and He rose again from the dead. He had been vulnerable—He had picked guys for His team whom He knew would deny Him, betray Him, and fail Him. Yet He loved them to the end and poured out His love anyway. As we consider what Jesus did, we learn that sacrificial love is essential in any relationship. |

Dead Air - Good Friday Service 2016 Luke 23:44-46 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Dead air is a period of silence in radio or television in which the broadcast signal is interrupted and there's no transmission. Throughout history, God has broadcast His truth to humanity through His world and His Word—including through the person of Jesus. But when Jesus died on the cross, there was dead air. Would God ever speak again? In this message, we look at how the dead air of Good Friday would be shattered by a living Savior on Sunday morning. |
