Director of The Malachi Network Executive Pastor of Wesley Network Pastor of Avalon Beach Church "Rethinking Church, Releasing Leaders, Remaining Faithful"
This Good Friday will certainly be one to remember! So glad that you have joined with us through this video and Bible Study. Below you will find the link for the youtube video in which Wesley Network staff will share prayer, scriptures that give the seven last sayings of Christ from the cross, and a closing message.
Here are some questions that you can use for study or discussion with others:
Why was John the only disciple to stand at the cross with Jesus?
Why did Jesus say that God had forsaken Him?
Are you walking in the same way that Jesus did? Are you willing?
