Good Friday 2026 | Seven Last Words by Hope Community Church, Willow Grove
One Last Word: He is Risen! Matthew 28:1-10During the Season of Lent, we focused on the seven last words of Christ. Today we'll look at the story of the first Easter and remember another important word of Jesus, that He would rise again!The Seven Last Words of JesusIf you had been a part of the crowd on the day Jesus died, you would have heard him make seven astounding statements. They are remarkable words, not only due to His distress, but because of the deep meaning they convey. For over a thousand years, Christians have turned to the seven last “words” or sayings of Jesus on the cross to guide them during the season of Lent. This year, we will join in that tradition and focus on the things Jesus uttered with his dying breath. We do so, hoping not only that we might find guidance for living as Jesus did, but also so that we might know Jesus more and understand the meaning of His death more in preparation for the celebration of His resurrection on Easter.

Pastor Colton preaches over Luke 23:44-49 on March 29th, 2026.
The so-called “Seven Last Words of Christ” refers to the last words (or, more literally, the seven last sentences or phrases) of Jesus Christ spoken from the Cross on Good Friday; these are recorded in the four Gospels of St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. John. Join Fr. Wade Menezes on this Holy Open Line Tuesday!
Have you ever felt like you've messed up so badly that there's no way back?
The Seventh Word: Into Your Hands Mark 11:1-11, Luke 23:46Palm Sunday was the one day the crowds embraced Jesus as the Messiah. Within a week, they'd call for His crucifixion, exposing our sinful and inconsistent human nature. With this word, Jesus experienced the peace of fully entrusting Himself to God. This was at the heart of His ministry: teaching us how to place our lives in God's hands. Yet, despite our best intentions, we struggle to do so, hindered by the same sinful and inconsistent nature as the crowd.The Seven Last Words of Jesus If you had been a part of the crowd on the day Jesus died, you would have heard him make seven astounding statements. They are remarkable words, not only due to His distress, but because of the deep meaning they convey. For over a thousand years, Christians have turned to the seven last “words” or sayings of Jesus on the cross to guide them during the season of Lent.

Send us Fan MailFind out more about this podcast at https://www.bookclues.com/Wisdom from the CrossHow Jesus' Seven Last Words Teach Us How to Live (and Die) WellHoly Week can feel familiar until you slow down and listen to what Jesus actually says while he's dying. Those final phrases from the cross, known as the Seven Last Words of Christ, are not random last breaths. They're a compressed guide to forgiveness, trust, love, and what a good life looks like when everything is stripped away.We sit down with writer and editor Casey Chalk, author of a short but densely packed book from Sophia Institute Press, to translate two thousand years of Christian reflection into modern language without flattening the mystery. We talk about why the Seven Last Words appear across all four Gospels, how thinkers like Aquinas, Bonaventure, and Augustine read them, and why these sayings can be a surprising entry point for Catholics, Protestants, and curious listeners who aren't sure what they believe.Along the way, we wrestle with the line that troubles nearly everyone: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Casey connects it to Psalm 22 and to the lived experience of the silence of God.

The Fifth Word: I Thirst John 19:28-29, Psalm 22:15, Psalm 69:21, Psalm 42:2, John 4:10, 7:37-38Gist: With this word, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of scripture as He expressed a desire for a drink to quench his physical thirst, but at the same time, He also pointed to a deeper need. In scripture, Jesus presented himself as “living water,” and here he reminds us of our own need for a savior and of the fact that we are all spiritually thirsty.The Seven Last Words of JesusIf you had been a part of the crowd on the day Jesus died, you would have heard him make seven astounding statements.

Good Friday arrives with some of the heaviest texts of the liturgical year — and Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders are here to help you preach them well.This episode covers all four lectionary readings for Good Friday (April 2, 2026): Isaiah 52:13–53:12, Psalm 22, Hebrews 10:16–25, and John 18–19. The hosts explore where preachers might "drop into" the long Johannine passion narrative, discuss Jesus' three last words in John ("I thirst," "Woman, here is your son," and "It is finished"), and reflect on what they reveal about Jesus' full humanity and divinity.The conversation also takes up Pilate's conflicted role as a study in the corrupting logic of power, René Girard's scapegoat theory as a lens on Jesus' innocence, the underrepresentation of lament in the lectionary (30 of 45 omitted psalms are lament psalms), and how Hebrews 10 speaks both to the meaning of the cross and to the life of the community gathered around it.Whether you're preaching a full sermon, leading a Seven Last Words service, or simply holding space for grief this Good Friday, this episode offers rich theological grounding and pastoral encouragement.
