What if the most painful moment in history was also the most powerful act of love? In this Good Friday message, Pastor Chris Teien walks through Isaiah 53—written over 700 years before Jesus went to the cross—to show how every moment of Christ’s suffering was part of God’s plan to redeem and restore us. This isn’t just about remembering what Jesus did. It’s about learning how to live every day in the power of the cross. His story doesn’t end in death—and neither does yours. You can live boldly, forgiven, and free. This message will challenge you to see the cross with fresh eyes—and to live with a renewed sense of gratitude, purpose, and hope. Don’t just remember Good Friday. Let it reshape how you live every day.
