Scattered Worship | Good Friday, April 10 (Exodus 10:21-12:32)
Welcome!
We’re no less the church when we’re scattered than we are when we’re gathered. While there’s nothing good in and of disease itself, we want The Village Church to embrace the interruptions and inconveniences that come along with the coronavirus as a sacred disruption in our personal discipleship. The Father longs for his people to worship him, not merely in a certain city, on a certain mountaintop, or in a certain building, but everywhere in spirit and in truth (John 4:21-24). May we demonstrate that in our homes and wherever we can (or can’t!) go over the coming weeks.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
- Hebrews 10:23-25
What you’ll find below is by no means a replacement for the body being together in the flesh. However, we do hope to stir you up to love and good works for one another and your neighbors, that in this season you might be spurred to confess Christ as your hope all the more in the midst of sickness and uncertainty.
The family and the mission go on - through your family and your mission as disciples each day.

Call the darkness good.

Reflect | Repent | Respond
Do you recognize the weight of your own sin and what God’s justice brings against it?
Have you turned to the Blood of Jesus, the only thing that can spare you from Death?
If you have, even while you wait in darkness until he comes again, can you rejoice knowing that Christ’s death is for our good?
