Sermon: This sermon from Don Carson was very helpful for me as I was preparing for the Good Friday service at Karmel Covenant, and I hope it’ll be helpful for you to go into the week pondering the wonder of the cross of Christ.

Catechism: What is sin? What is idolatry?

Song: From Ephesians 5:14 - Wake up O Sleeper…the verses referenced by Paul here include this gem from Isaiah 26:19:

Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.

       You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

   For your dew is a dew of light,

       and the earth will give birth to the dead.

Also, Luke 1:78-79:

    because of the tender mercy of our God,

       whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high 

   to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

       to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
