Good Friday Service
We packed out Ebenezers last night.
I think we'll do two Good Friday services next year.
I talked about Colossians 2:14: "God canceled the record that contained the charges against us. He took it and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ's cross."
We set up a cross station and I encouraged people to write out a confession and then nail it to the cross. We had hammers and nails. I had no idea how long that would take for a couple hundred people :) But that is part of what made the experience so powerful.
The sound of hammering and the sight of hundreds of confessions nailed to the cross was such a powerful auditory and visual experience.
We ended by showing a video I picked up at www.worshiphousemedia.com. Here's a link to the video.

Pastor Mark, thanks for the Good Friday service...it's always my favorite service of the year and this year didn't disappoint.
Having two services next year is probably a good idea...as long as it doesn't wear you out!
I've got to say standing behind the cross was an honor. I got to see the look on every single person's face as they knelt in front of the cross (to get a nail) and looked up at it as they hammered ... the sound of these people hammering their confessions to the cross reminded of the sound of Jesus being hammered to the cross. Very, very powerful.
