Good Friday Video from Mars Hill Church
This video, from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, is incredible but not for the squeamish. Easter is a day for celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. But on Good Friday we remember and give thanks for the ultimate sacrifice he made in our place for our sins. This is what ...
