In this last week of 2021, we are sharing our top five episodes from the first 300: these are the episodes that were most downloaded, working backwards from five to one. We end the week with an episode first broadcast on November 27, 2020 – an episode called “It’s Friday, but Sunday’s Coming.” It was Part 4 in a 10-part series, “10 Ways to Thrive in Hard Times.” When Jesus was hung on a tree on a Friday 2000 years ago, his disciples were dispirited, his family was heartbroken, even nature seemed to grieve. But Friday was not the end of the story. As bleak and dark as Friday was, Sunday was magnificently bright and glorious. Friday was necessary to get to Sunday, but it was only a pathway. We need not lose hope in the Fridays that we face. Sunday is coming. Scriptures referenced include Mark 9:31 and John 16:33.
