"From Isolation to Embrace" | Mark 15:33-39 + Psalm 22 | Tim Parlier
đź“– Mark 15:33-39 + Psalm 22
In Psalm 22, David cries out, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”...words that echo through a thousand years of history until they break from the lips of Jesus on the cross. In this week’s message, we explore the depths behind that cry and the breathtaking moment when the temple curtain tore from top to bottom.
Why would Jesus...who always prayed “My Father”...instead cry “My God”?
What does the darkness at the cross reveal about the cost of love?
And what does the torn curtain mean for your life, your failures, your fears, and the days you feel utterly alone?
This sermon walks through the agony, prophecy, and victory woven into Psalm 22 and fulfilled at Calvary. It’s a message for anyone who has ever felt abandoned, unseen, or unsure if God is still close.
The cross answers that question forever:
Jesus was forsaken so you never will be.
The barrier is torn.
You are not isolated...you are embraced.
Join us as we discover why the cries of the Cross are the final word over your life and why you can come boldly to the throne of grace.
FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:
When was the last time you felt like you were abandoned by God?
The sermon said “don’t listen to the lie, listen to the CRY.” What lies are you most tempted to believe about God’s heart toward you?
What does the torn curtain tell you personally about God’s desire to be close to you & at work in you?
If Jesus was forsaken so you could be embraced, what would it look like for you to live as fully accepted by God this week? What would change if you believed this every day?
What confession would you make about Jesus based on what you’ve learned about Him in these verses?
