Maundy Thursday Devotional Episode 2023
A daily devotional for each day of Holy Week with Pastor Gary Smith of the Valentine, Nebraska Presbyterian Church.
I'd like to share this poem by S.M. Lockridge who preached from 1953 to 1993. The name of the poem is entitled: "It's Friday but Sunday is Coming". This is a powerful message and to me, provides a very strong motivation for being in Church on Easter Sunday to celebrate God's victory over sin and our give of salvation.
Each day during Holy Week, I will post a short message and devotional.
