It is finished. (Good Friday 2025)

“It is finished.” That’s the big idea of Good Friday: It is finished.

What exactly did Jesus Christ fully and finally accomplish that first Good Friday? What is finished? We explore three answers to that question: What is finished?
1. The Father’s work
2. Our sin forgiven
3. God’s wrath removed.

Sermon

Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

There are really two types of belief. There is belief that is mere intellectual assent to the existence of something, and there is belief that is synonymous with trust. The Apostle John says that he wrote his Gospel so that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing we may have eternal life in his name, John wrote his Gospel so that we will trust in Jesus Christ and receive Jesus Christ like a bride receives her husband, staking our lives on his promises. And that brings us to the big idea not only of our passage and Easter Sunday. Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

1. Jesus really did rise (vv. 1-10)
2. Jesus’ resurrection changes everything for the better (vv. 11-23)
3. Jesus welcomes doubters (vv. 24-31).

Love One Another

Citylight Manayunk | November 27, 2022 from Citylight Church on Vimeo.

Our passage this morning is 1 John 4:7-12 and wastes no time getting to the Big Idea of the text which is:

Love One Another.

Why?
(1) God is Love (1 John 4:7-8)
(2) God manifests Love (1 John 4:9-10)
(3) God perfects love (1 John 4:11-12).

Citylight’s very own Nick Dastolfo starts right at the beginning and works our way through the text, verse by verse.
