Jesus First. The Cross Always.

What happens when the Cross becomes more than a symbol—and becomes the center of your life? In this powerful message from Galatians 2:19–21, Pastor Chris Schansberg leads us into a deeper understanding of why the Cross isn’t simply part of the Christian story—it is the Christian story. Drawing from the shocking reality of what crucifixion meant in the ancient world, we’re reminded that Jesus took the world’s ultimate symbol of defeat and turned it into the greatest victory Heaven has ever announced. Because of His death and resurrection, sin’s power is broken, our past is forgiven, and Christ Himself now lives in us. As Pastor Chris shows, the Cross is not a moment to admire—it’s a reality to live from. When Jesus is first and the Cross is always at the center, we discover a life marked by freedom, gratitude, and unshakable hope.This message will leave you in awe of God’s love—and ready to live from the victory Jesus already won for you.
