Ten More Minutes on Holy Week

Palm branches and cheering crowds are only the beginning. The middle of Holy Week holds some of the clearest, most challenging snapshots of Jesus’s heart and mission, and we slow down to walk through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with fresh eyes as we head toward Good Friday and Easter.

We start with Monday’s temple cleansing and the uncomfortable question it raises: what happens when worship turns transactional? Jesus flips tables, confronts corruption, and calls God’s house back to prayer and reverence, then we connect that moment to the New Testament claim that believers are now God’s temple through the Holy Spirit. From there we move to Tuesday, where Jesus spends his final days teaching, answering traps, and then privately preparing his disciples in the Olivet Discourse with a simple message that still lands today: judgment is coming, so be ready.

Silent Wednesday brings a surprising theme: stillness as a measure of trust. We talk about waiting quietly for God, what we do when God feels silent, and how Judas’s betrayal shows the danger of filling quiet with our own plans. Thursday is packed with meaning: Jesus washes feet, shares the Last Supper, gives a new command to love as he loves, and then heads to Gethsemane where the arrest sets the cross in motion.

Monday And The Temple Cleansing

SPEAKER_03 0:08

Welcome to Ten More Minutes. Uh, this is the podcast we've gone after for now three or four weeks, and every single week has been about following up Sunday's message, spending a little bit of extra time and sitting with the application just a little bit longer. Well, this week was about Palm Sunday, the entrance into Holy Week. It was about seeing Jesus arrive at his destination as he's journeying to Jerusalem. And so we thought we'd do something a little different today. We've got Michael Buffalo, we've got Ross Strickland with us, David and Ryan back with you again. And today we want to tell you about all the other days of Holy Week. Uh, we talked about Palm Sunday this past Sunday. On Good Friday, we're gonna get into the weekend of what Jesus did on the cross for us. Of course, on Easter, we're gonna celebrate his resurrection. But there were four other days that week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and Jesus did some incredible things just looking toward that journeying uh to the cross. And so I want us to maybe spend just a little bit of time, each of us, and uh, we'll each take one day, and uh, and we're gonna just maybe share some thoughts about what scripture tells us about Holy Week. And so uh as we prepare our hearts uh to celebrate Easter, this is just gonna be a part of that uh that week and that process. And let's learn a little bit about what Jesus did for Holy Week. So, David, I'm gonna turn it over to you. You've got Monday. Why don't you get us started? All right. Well, here we go.

SPEAKER_04 1:28

Uh, you know, I I was thinking about, you know, as we were kind of planning to do this, you know, about how Holy Week is is one of the it's one of the richest parts of the Christian calendar. You know, it's uh it's that week where a lot is happening, you know, for the for the believer thinking about Jesus and preparing for uh for Easter Sunday, and and uh it's it's a really it's a really interesting time, but it's more than just uh a calendar of events. Uh, you know, when we look in scripture, we begin to see that it begins with with Jesus arriving into Jerusalem, right? So he's coming in and and uh at that moment you have all the people that are shouting Hosanna, and there's a great celebration, and then by the time you get to the end of the week, it's a lot different story, right? That's right. But um, but we begin to see this that the Holy Week is more than just a timeline, it's really uh a part of the journey. We've been journeying to Jerusalem in this series that we're walking through. And so it's uh it's a journey to the cross, and uh, and so it really shouldn't really surprise us uh that it it turns the way it does, but but it does. But uh each day of the week carries a deep spiritual meaning. And so uh starting off here today, talking about Monday, uh, you know, and and if you if you walk through uh Monday uh in the Holy Week, uh Monday feels very unexpected. Uh it presents to us something that is uh is not at all what we expect from Jesus, you know. We have to wrestle with it in in some ways. And so um to just give you a little bit of background, so Sunday Jesus rides into Jerusalem, he's hearing the cheers and the celebrations, he's experiencing that. People are waving palm branches, which we talked about yes, you know, on Sunday. Yeah. And um, and so there's a lot of celebration that goes on, but then Monday comes and we see Jesus do something really interesting. He steps into the temple, right? And so as he goes in there, uh what he begins to do is turn tables. And that's what catches us off guard a little bit. You know, he he goes into the temple, and there's the the cleansing of the temple is what we call it. But he's he's literally overturning tables. Let me let me just read this text here this morning. So Matthew 21, uh verse 12 through 17, it says this it says, And Jesus entered the temple, and he drove out all who had sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers, and the blind and the lame come to him in the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the scribes they saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant, and they said to him, Do you hear what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes, have you ever have you never read out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies, you have prepared praise. And then leaving them he went out into the city. And so I think it's really interesting uh because we read this passage and it's honestly it's probably one of the most startling scenes. It's it's this kind of scene that catches us off guard because we've seen so many beautiful things with Jesus and the healing and the the um the miracles that he's doing and and just the popularity that he's gained, you know, the people love him, right? And then suddenly you see this part of Jesus, you know. And and the temple was a place of uh uh it was the center of Jewish life. It was a it was a really a place where people came and gathered and worshiped and prayed. And but by the time Jesus arrives, something has gone astray, right? Something has gone awry, something's gone wrong. And uh this space that was intended for worship has suddenly become a corrupt marketplace. And uh Jesus refers to it as a den of robbers, and so uh there's something really taking place here. And what we begin to see as we read this passage is that worship has uh has been overshadowed by prophet. Uh people are more concerned about the money they're putting in their pockets rather than worshiping God, and reverence has been replaced with uh with routine, and and Jesus just doesn't stand for it, he doesn't put up with it. And so he walks into this and he begins flipping the tables and driving people out, and he declares, My house should be called a house of prayer. Um, but this isn't just anger, this is righteous, this is righteousness, you know. Uh it's purposeful, uh, it's revealing, it tells us a lot of things. I love what R. C. Uh Sprolls once said. He says, Jesus isn't just upset, he's acting with authority. The cleansing of the temple is a picture of divine judgment. And so uh it's it's something that is happening here that I think we certainly need to learn, you know, something we need to understand. Um, and and so what Jesus is doing here on that Monday is not just simply cleaning up a building, he's exposing a deeper issue, he's exposing a heart issue. And so um the the problem with uh wasn't what was just happening in the temple, it's what it's what had changed in the hearts of people. And so he's bringing attention to that. Worship had become transactional, you know, it had become external, it had become profitable. It was it wasn't something that people were really uh approaching the temple for what it was to be used for, and that is to worship God and to, you know, sing his praises. And so um, you know, Jesus cares about what's happening where we gather and uh how we gather and when we gather. You know, he he cares about the heart of the believer and the fact that we should be uh thinking about God and celebrating what God's doing in our life and not these other things. It's interesting in the New Testament. We read this, it says, uh we're told that we are now the temple, right? Wow. And so we see that uh in 1 Corinthians 3 16, it says, Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells within you? And so we see this sort of transition where Jesus is really pointing to the heart of the individual and the fact that the Holy Spirit dwells within us, right? Yeah, and so uh I love that, uh, this this sort of redirection. It's not a building, it's the heart, right? Uh in 1 Corinthians 6 19, he says, Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? And so he even identifies our body as the place in which the Holy Spirit resides, and our body being the temple. And then 1 Peter 2.5, uh, you yourselves, like living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy uh priesthood. And I love that that that we uh as living stones are being built up uh as a spiritual house, the place of God, you know, God coming and worshiping with us. And so our lives uh are where God dwells, right? And and I think this is something that maybe Jesus was trying to point out. And so that's why, you know, you you have something like uh Monday during Holy Week, and it it sort of directs our attention to a passage like this, and and it's something where we need to uh be reminded, you know, that worship matters to Jesus, yeah, you know, and authentic worship, you know, and and not to let the distractions of of or or or anything corrupt to enter into our our place of worship, yeah. You know, but to worship God. So I love the fact that it kind of begins there with this sort of um unexpected uh reaction from Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 9:20

Yeah. He quotes Psalm 8 and he talks about the the mouths of b children and infants singing praise. And our children were up singing this past Sunday, they're singing Psalm 8. They sang that exact passage and modeled for us what genuine and true worship looks like, even when maybe we don't understand every ounce of of what God's doctrine is about, but children just have an authentic love for Jesus that we can mirror, and so that's really neat. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

Well, I guess Michael's got Tuesday, right? And so we're gonna focus over there, throw it over to him. Yeah.

Tuesday Teaching And Tricky Questions

SPEAKER_01 9:52

So let's do it. So Tuesday, um, you know, if you had to put a name to it, which uh we were talking about, there's not really a name for Tuesday, but I think I would call it Teaching Tuesday. That's really what um Tuesday is all about. You think about the day before, you know, Jesus has clean cleaned out the temple, so to speak, right? And so now he's spent um uh a good portion of the day preaching in the temple. Um, but as he's doing this, people are coming at him, you know, these these um religious leaders, they've got all these questions and they're trying to trap him. And and of course, uh Jesus is the OG, you know, so he's shooting down all of these arguments and all these questions that are intended to trap him. And um, and then he sort of moves, he actually leaves the temple and moves away and um goes out into the, you know, up onto Mount uh uh the Mount of Olives and and um he he he leaves this public proclamation that's happening and then he sort of transitions to this um private preaching to just his disciples. And so it's a really uh beautiful picture. Uh it's oftentimes called the um Olivet Discourse, um, or as my daughter Gillian calls it, the Oliver's Discourse. Uh Oliver. She uh she saw my notes when I was uh working on it the other day, and uh I had typed out Olive It, but it auto-corrected to Oliver, and so she said, Daddy, what is Oliver's Discourse? And um, but no, it's uh it's a really um, you know, this is a passage that's pretty common. A lot of people know it, but it seems like uh people either overcomplicate this passage or they just ignore it altogether because it's you know it and it's pretty heavy stuff. Like Jesus, he starts off, he's sharing with his disciples about uh war that is to come and about persecution and about the destruction of the temple and even about his return. You know, he he's he's having all these uh all these huge revelations to his disciples. And sometimes people have argued about the meaning of these passages for you know for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. And uh, you know, but what's interesting, and he he Jesus is not trying to confuse his disciples, he is really trying to bring clarity, he's he's basically bringing them in and say, and saying, let me show you where all of this is going, you know, what this is all uh gonna be about at the end. And and ultimately he kind of sums it up into one statement like, judgment is coming, so be ready. That's that's if you had to sum up, you know, the Olive discourse into one phrase. And uh, you know, I I love that as he does this, he he offers three sort of warnings uh, you know, in this process. The the first thing he says is don't be deceived. You know, he he he he lets the disciples know that there are going to be people, false teachers that come and false doctrine that comes up, and uh just because it's spiritual doesn't make it true, you know. And and man, do we not see that today? It's so many things that are spiritual in nature, but not of any sort of divine cloth, or at least not the cloth that Christ is cut from. And uh the second thing that he um he encourages his disciples with is don't be alarmed. You know, he's he he tells them there's gonna be war and there's gonna be persecution and you know there's gonna be strife. And again, we see that so often, you know, uh in our world today. But he tells us, he says, if you see these things, he says, that means the end is coming, but it's not here yet. You know, and so don't be alarmed, don't live your life running from one catastrophe to the next, full of anxiety, full of worry, full of concern, um, because he says in the end everything's gonna be okay. And if it's not okay, it's not the end. And so, and then finally he leaves us with this um thought of don't be unprepared, you know, to he challenges his disciples to be vigilant, to be faithful, you know, to um to to stay on top of things and just to continue to trust him and and you know, and and then he goes into uh even after this, he shares these um three parables the parable of the ten maidens, the parable of the um the sheep and the goats, and also uh what's amazing about these parables, we don't have time to go into all of them, but basically all three talk about uh they they basically all three give the same exact message, which is what you do now matters later. You know, when he's talking about the parable of the talents, you know, what you do now, what how you use your talent now, it matters to God and it matters in in eternity. And so, um, and so it's a it's a fantastic message. And probably the most amazing thing to me about this um that that Jesus is spending all this time with his disciples is this, that he is days away from the cross, right? He's just just a few hours, really, in a sense, away from the cross. And his focus is not on his suffering that's coming, his focus is not on the pain that he's about to endure or the or the separation from his father in heaven. His focus is on preparing us, right? And making sure that we have what we need to be able to go forward and prepare the way. And it's just such a beautiful picture. And to me, when you see that, you have to ask yourself the question like, so what do we do with that? Like, you know, if if that is his focus, that's his desire, you know, is not to focus on his suffering, but to focus on preparing us, then we should be prepared. You know, that I think uh it's the it's that's to me is what is the picture of living a life that's worthy of the gospel, you know. And uh so the question I think we have to ask ourselves when we see and think about what happened on Tuesday of the holy week is, you know, how am I living my life? Am I am I prepared for his coming? I am I prepared for his judgment, am I am I living a life that's worthy of the gospel? You know, am I doing uh as God, am I staying vigilant and staying faithful in everything that God has called me to do? And so it's a really uh just awesome thing to think about. It's been a great devotional thought for me. So good well, I love it too.

Silent Wednesday Trust In Stillness

SPEAKER_03 15:44

The the if you think of his relationship with his disciples as a model for our discipleship, yeah, you know, he finishes the the the mission. That's right. He he's all the way up to the end saying there's still more that I want to teach you. That's right. And they're about to take over, you know, and they're about to have the spirit indwell them, and they're about to help build the foundation of the church on the gospel of Jesus Christ. And he's got some things that he still wants to teach. And so that's pretty cool doing holy week. He knows the cross is ahead of him, but he's still working on these men. Yeah, so good. He's still working on us. Yeah. Well, I got Wednesday. Go with it. Let's do it. And uh, you know, there's a lot of drama and excitement that takes place on Sunday, and Monday you see some unique things take place, and Tuesday we've got all of this great teaching. And you might think, well, what's in store for Wednesday? Nothing. They call it Silent Wednesday. And uh in scripture, we don't know that there's any record of what Jesus may have done on Wednesday, but they call it Silent Wednesday. And and you know, silence sometimes can be unnerving for us. It can feel uh unsure. Um, I'm in a house that has a ton of kids in it and a ton of noise in it. And I asked my kids one time, you know, just as a parenting uh kind of check on myself, hey guys, what's the most important thing that you think is to me? Like what do you think is the most important thing to me? And it was supposed to be this test of like the things that I talk about most often at home or the things that I'm discussing with my kids most often. And they said the number one thing was silence. That's what I talk about all the time. Can we just be quiet, right? But uh, but still I think silence has this um you know overtone to it, that when we get to that place, we feel some uncertainty. We feel like we should be filling the void with something. But I think scripture teaches us that there's a there's a lesson in stillness and in silence. Absolutely. And actually the lesson has a little bit to do with the quality of our faith and the the quality of our trust in the Lord. Lamentations three, this is a very familiar passage. It says, The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, and these verses are a great promise to us, and ones that we celebrate and have lots of praise and worship songs that we sing about them. But keep reading a little bit, because it says this. It says, The Lord is my portion, says the soul. Therefore I will hope in him. The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good to the one who waits quietly for the salvation of the Lord. And so silence is a great revelation to the depth of our trust in the Lord. All the noise of the Passion Week from Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday, we see this absolute quietness in Jesus' life, and the horrors of what's about to take place in his life are there. They're ever present. He knows that they're coming, but there's a trust on Wednesday that says, I'm putting my hands in, I'm putting my life in the hands of the Father, and uh I'm I'm gonna trust him completely for what's ahead. Uh Isaiah has a great prophecy in in 53, and it says this he was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was like a lamb led to the slaughter, as sheep is silent before the shears. He did not open his mouth. And so sometimes our lack of trust in silence is evident. And and you know, the other thing that happens on silent Wednesday is the betrayal. Sometimes we, instead of trusting in silence and modeling the silence of Jesus, we fill the silence with our own plans, with our own ways, with our own thoughts. And we see Judas doing just that in Matthew 26. It says, Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priest and asked, What are you willing to give me if I deliver him, that's Jesus, over to you? And so they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver, and from then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. You see, where Judas didn't agree with God's plans, right? He didn't understand what was going on. And you can see, I think, where the silence of Wednesday was weighing heavy on Judas, and then he falls in temptation to sin. We we also know that this act of selfishness was a part of God's plan.

unknown 20:18

That's right.

Maundy Thursday - What is it?

SPEAKER_03 20:18

And it was used of God for the redemption of all men. And so we can still trust God in the silence. We can still trust him to know that his hand is working even when we don't see what is going on. Absolutely. And so, you know, just a couple of questions of reflection to think about Silent Wednesday. You know, how quiet is your soul before the Lord? Do we truly believe that the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases? Do we rest quietly and knowing that his mercies never come to an end? Does our soul have a confidence to wait quietly with absolute hope that the Lord will bring good in seasons of silence? You know? And so I think I think that's what we see in Jesus on Wednesday is a soul that was resting quietly, confidently, and patiently before the Lord, knowing that his plans are always sure and good. And uh, I'm glad that Jesus modeled that for us on Silent Wednesday. Right. But Silent Wednesday moves on to Thursday. Ross, you got Thursday?

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Yeah, yeah, and we see the continuation of the Judas story later on on Thursday evening. And Thursday, there's a there's not a lot that happens during the day, but that evening is full. And uh that's if you're familiar with that Thursday, that's where we see the Lord's Supper uh takes place, and they're gathered in the upper room, and then after the supper, we see they go to the Garden of Gethsemane, and that's where Judas comes in with the chief priests that he's talked to before on Wednesday, and now he brings them to Jesus, gives them a kiss on the cheek to identify who Jesus is, and that's when they arrest him. And so we see all that take place on Thursday evening. But Thursday is often called something funny. It's called Monday Thursday. Not Monday Thursday, but Monday. Anybody uh y'all know what Mondi is?

SPEAKER_03 22:01

You're gonna have to explain to me what that means.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

So Mondi is basically just a Latin form of uh mandate. Uh it's a mandate because there's a new mandate that Jesus gives. So y'all know what the mandate is? I do.

SPEAKER_03 22:13

Insert cricket sound here.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

All right, we'll come back to it in just a minute. Okay, leave some suspense out there uh for what it means. But on that day, uh we see Jesus gather with his disciples and they head to the upper room, and when they get there, we see Jesus do something very interesting. He pulls out of uh uh basically a bowl of water, some some towels and some linens, and he says he's gonna wash the disciples' feet. And so today I brought a bowl of water and I'm gonna wash y'all's feet. Just kidding. I'm not doing that. But no, we see this scene happen, and all the disciples are like, no, you can't do this. When we think about it, we're like, no, nobody's gonna ever touch my feet. And obviously, we we've all heard about this passage and and see that in this time everybody wore sandals, and it was a customary thing for someone to wash people's feet when they walked in. Whether it was you wash your own feet, get them stanky things out, or they had a slave or somebody of the lower status come and do that. I was reading that D.A. Carson said, out of all the things he's studied, he hasn't seen at a single time where anyone in the authority or superiority or some kind of leader in the Greco-Roman time ever washed someone's feet. And so the fact that we see this is what Jesus did, the the savior of the world, the king of the universe, the messiah, all of a sudden he lowers himself. And it's not just uh a beautiful picture, it's like the most grand picture of the servant king, the one who came to serve his people. And so we see this instituted here, and we see this time where he comes and does that for them. And then it says he washed their feet, they get back ready, and they go and have dinner. And this is where we see the last supper. And this last supper, some call it the farewell discourse because it's the last few things that Jesus is going to teach. Some call it the upper room discourse because they're in an upper room taking this Lord's Supper. And it's really just a time around the table. How many of y'all love sitting around a table with friends? Like we all love that, right? How many of y'all have ever sat in a moment with a friend or with someone who's a mentor to you? And at that dinner, at that lunch is where they just like lay on you what they want to talk to you about, right? Yeah. And uh it's a time where we can open up, we we gather around. Usually when I got to have a serious conversation with somebody, I'm not like, hey, just meet me and we'll talk about it. Hey, you want to go to get lunch? You want to go get dinner, and then we can have this serious time. And I think that's what Jesus is doing. He's relaxing everyone because what he lays on them is all kinds of final kind of ways to tell them who he is, that he is the Messiah. He is the Son of God. And he and the Father are one. He talks about being the true vine and he talks about the Holy Spirit coming. And I know for them, they're probably just kind of all these things that Jesus has been talking about for the last few years is coming to a culmination, but they don't see that the reason he's telling them is because he's coming to his death. He's coming to be departed from them in just a few in just a few hours. And so we we get to this part where we see there's this mandate. Now I asked y'all what the mandate was. Do y'all have y'all y'all know what it is yet? You want to guess?

SPEAKER_01 25:03

Something like love one another, right? Look at you. Okay.

Outro and Invitation

SPEAKER_00 25:06

So we already know Jesus has has given the greatest commandment, which is love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. And then he gets to John 13. Uh John 13, all the way through 17, is all in red. So if you want to go read that, check it out. That's all of this discourse. But he gives this greatest commandment in the verse 34. He says, A new commandment I give to you that you love one another, just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. We've all heard that. We all say that. Love one another. We tell that to our kids, we tell that to our students, we tell that to our the people in our church. Hey, we're called to love one another. But Jesus, he says this because he's about to radically transform that that thought, right? And he's not just going to show them what it means to love somebody by just washing their feet, by just, hey, hey, I love you, right? No, he's gonna lay his life down. He's gonna surrender everything he has. And that's what the new commandment is. That's what this mandate is. This new mandate is to love one another so much that you lay your lives down. And so then he goes through, he institutes the Lord's Supper, he tells them about how this is gonna be a remembrance of what he's gonna do. And now they're sitting there thinking, what is he actually gonna do? Right? What is what is this what is this broken body? What is this blood that's spilt? And and so the cool thing is we stand on this side of history, we get to look back and see, man, Jesus was preparing the way, he was foreshadowing everything, he was teaching them all these things for a reason. And so I think the biggest things we can think about this day um is one, to remember, right? Remember, that's what the Lord's Supper is for. We do this in remembrance of me. And remembering is not just like, oh yeah, I I remembered I was supposed to take the laundry out, take the laundry out of the dryer, right? Uh no, remembering is kind of dwelling on something, taking a moment to reflect on what it means, and then ultimately to respond to it, to respond, now what does that change? What are we supposed to do now? And I think what Jesus is calling them to is he's saying, Hey, I'm about to lay my life down for you, for your sin, for your for your iniquities. And I want you to do the same for others for my sake. And so he wants us to lay our lives down for his glory and his good. And so Thursday ends in a solemn way because Thursday, there's all this wonderful, encouraging, challenging speaking, uh, this teaching. And then he goes to the garden, he's agonizing over what's about to happen in the next day, and then we see the arrest of Jesus. And that's where Thursday ends, is as his he's arrested, uh, he's taken into custody, and then we know what's going to happen on Good Friday. But it's a it's a moment of clarity when we see that. Like, oh wow, this is why he gave this last and final speech, this final teaching of, hey, remember and respond to what I'm telling you. It's so good.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

That's good.

SPEAKER_03 27:48

Well, thanks, guys.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:50

This was really good. It was good. A good walk through uh the the week of Holy Week, maybe the days that don't often get talked about quite as much. And uh just a great um reminder to each of us of what worship really is about, right? You know, uh of what the teaching of the future can do for us to be ready, you know, and and and to have our lives ready and prepared for the coming of Christ, to be still and know that he is God, you know, and then just to love and serve one another just as Jesus did. Uh these are the models that he gave, even even in his final days uh leading up to the cross. Um but the story continues, right? Right. And we've got Good Friday coming up, and so we want to invite you guys to come be a part of Good Friday service with us here at Cross Point Church, 5 30. And then, of course, Easter Sunday morning, 8 o'clock, 9.15, and 11, just to celebrate the goodness of God, what he's done for us, and the great miracle of resurrection, which is central to our faith in Jesus. And so we hope that you have a great holy week in celebrating, praying, and loving the family and the ones around you. We hope that you join us Good Friday, 5 30. We'll see you then.
