This Easter season, TBN invites viewers to experience one of the most ambitious faith-based theatrical productions ever staged: JESUS from Sight & Sound Theatres.
Filmed in front of a live audience and seen by more than one million people on stage since its 2018 debut, this state-of-the-art production brings the life and ministry of Christ to life through breathtaking set design, powerful storytelling, and immersive staging. Now, you can watch it from home on TBN and TBN+ Premium!
A Production That Transformed the Stage
JESUS originally debuted in 2018 and quickly became one of Sight & Sound's most celebrated productions. Known for its sweeping sets, original music, and theatrical scale, the company is recognized for recreating biblical accounts in an immersive way.
In this live performance, viewers follow Christ from the Sea of Galilee shores to the bustling streets of Jerusalem. Along the way, they witness:
- Fishermen called into discipleship
- Pharisees challenged with truth
- The sick healed and restored
- Storms calmed on raging waters
- The redemptive mission of the Light of the World
At its core, JESUS shows us the greatest rescue story of all time. It's a story centered on compassion, sovereignty, sacrifice, and love that saves.
A Meaningful Return to TBN
This production is an extra special addition to TBN because JESUS was the very first Sight & Sound program to air on TBN during Easter 2020, which was also its television debut. At a time when churches were closed and families were seeking hope at home, JESUS offered a powerful reminder of Christ's redemptive mission.
Now, it returns once again during Easter season, inviting both new viewers and longtime fans to experience it in a fresh way.
How to Watch JESUS by Sight & Sound Theatres
Here's how you can tune in:
On TBN (Broadcast Premiere):
Friday, April 3 at 8 p.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET

What Makes Sight & Sound Theater Different?
Sight & Sound's approach to biblical storytelling is one-of-a-kind. The production is filmed live before an audience, meaning that you get the immediacy and emotional intensity of a theatrical performance.
Viewers can expect:
- Expansive, multi-level sets that transform from sea to city
- Detailed period costumes
- Original music and orchestration
- Large-scale crowd scenes
- Intimate, character-focused moments
The storytelling highlights not only the miracles and dramatic events of the Gospels but also the compassion and personal encounters that reveal Christ's heart.
From fishermen who doubt and leaders who resist to the hurting who seek healing, the production presents Jesus as both sovereign and compassionate, fully divine and deeply personal.
An Easter Experience for the Whole Family
Because it's filmed live and produced with cinematic quality, JESUS is a meaningful experience for families, small groups, or individual reflection.
It provides an opportunity to:
- Revisit familiar Gospel accounts with fresh perspective
- Introduce children to the story of Christ through immersive storytelling
- Reflect on the redemptive arc from calling to crucifixion
- Prepare hearts for Easter with intentional viewing
For churches or families looking to supplement Holy Week with faith-based media, this production offers a visually engaging and biblically grounded option.
