Fairbanks Lutheran Church, Alaska

The Holy Triduum continues with Good Friday. In this powerful and moving sermon, Healed by His Wounds, the Rev. Ollie Bergh invites us to contemplate the crucified Christ—not as a symbol of defeat, but as the very source of our healing and humanity. With humor, honesty, and deep theological reflection, Pastor Ollie explores what it truly means that “by his wounds we are healed,” drawing from Isaiah, John, and Hebrews to illuminate how Christ’s pierced side opens for us a new and living way into God’s presence. This is a message for the wounded, the weary, and those longing to be made whole by the One who suffered out of love.
