Sunday Sermon: Seven Last Words: Why Have You Forsaken Me?

This morning, as we mark the midpoint of our Lenten journey, we will hear Jesus' cry from the cross captured in the Gospel of Matthew, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Our Lord will express his sense of abandonment by recalling the words of the psalmist found in Psalm 22. As we worship, we will reflect on both the agonizing nature of abandonment and the purpose of the words Jesus chooses to express his heartbreak. Sermon on Matthew 27:45-46, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on March 30th, 2025.
