God is not finished, even when life feels dark and final. Pastor Lee Jenkins walks through the events of Good Friday in Luke 23 to remind believers not to quit when circumstances seem overwhelming. What looks like the end is often the setup for resurrection, and temporary Fridays should never cause us to abandon permanent promises.

Verses: Luke 23:44–49, James 1:2, 1 John 4:4, Isaiah 54:17, Romans 10:9

Key Points/Topics Covered:

• Do Not Let Darkness Make You Doubt God
• Do Not Misread What God Is Doing Through Painful Circumstances
• Do Not Step Back So Far That You Stop Believing
• The Curtain Torn as a Symbol of Access to God
• Temporary Fridays Versus Permanent Promises
