by Ray Pritchard

This beloved spiritual transports us back to the time of Christ’s death and burial. We are asked to relive those events as if we had been standing there watching Jesus die on the cross.

I believe this is the best local church video I’ve ever seen. I love it because it doesn’t start by talking the church. It starts with the gospel. Watch it and see for yourself. You may find yourself saying, “I’d love to be part of a church like this.”…
