Darkness
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes, we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5
Dear Journey Family…
Darkness. A sign of God’s judgement for our sins as they were being paid in full.
Jesus took the weight of our sins on him. That was the biggest pain he endured. Our sins. Not the torturing, not the punching, whipping, bruising; not the thorns on his head, the cross on his back or the nails on his hands and feet. Not the humiliation, the mocking, the spitting. It was our sins. Every one of them. That was his biggest pain.
Pastor Justin reminded us of this important truth. As terrible as all that he suffered was, the moment when his Father turned his back on him because of all the sin upon him, that was the biggest pain. Something that happened once and will never repeat ever again. He was abandoned by God.
It was necessary for the forgiveness of our debt to our Creator. Jesus was willing to pay it.
Join us this Sunday morning at 10 for a time of worship and learning from God’s word as we look at another one of Jesus’ last famous phrases from the cross: “Thirsty”
Community Easter Egg Hunt
Thank you all for your enthusiasm participating in bringing eggs. We are close to our goal of 4,000 eggs. We can make it! Please keep bringing eggs. Our deadline is April 2nd.
But also don’t forget to invite people to the egg hunt, this is an outreach event so we would love to see tons of people coming to the event but also coming to Christ. We have invitations ready at the church building, so grab a couple and invite a friend or two. Please continue to pray for this event.
We are also in need of helpers for the day of the event and beforehand. If you are interested in helping, please sign up HERE.
The 2023 Community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 8th at 10am at Coffman Park in Dublin by the Dublin Rec Center, will be an event to remember.
Giving
We want to thank you for your continued support towards Journey Church, its ministries and the efforts to spread God’s message. Remember that you can give your donation in person on Sunday morning or at your convenience online in our Church Center website HERE.
Neighborhood Prayer Walk
Remember this March 25 to go out in your neighborhood and pray as you walk. Who knows how God can use this opportunity to make new connections with a new neighbor, and old neighbor you haven’t seen in a while or that elusive neighbor that you haven’t had a chance to talk to. Just remember more than anything, focus on prayer. Pray for your neighborhood to turn towards Christ.
That’s all we have for now -it’s your turn to let us know what your thoughts are.
If you have anything that we can help in prayer, please let us know.
We’d love to pray with you and for you.
