In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor Stephen Theriot teaches that before we can truly experience the power of resurrection life, we must first embrace a crucified life. Preaching from Isaiah 53, he walks through the prophecy of Christ’s suffering and reminds us of the incredible price Jesus paid for our redemption.This sermon takes a sobering and heartfelt look at the reality of the cross—what Jesus endured physically, spiritually, and emotionally out of love for humanity. Pastor Stephen explains how Christ was “wounded for our transgressions” and “bruised for our iniquities,” emphasizing that the resurrection is only meaningful because of the sacrifice that came before it.Through scripture, personal testimony, and a vivid description of the crucifixion, this message calls believers to anchor their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ and to live lives surrendered to Him. It’s a reminder that the path to true freedom, healing, and resurrection power begins at the cross.If this message blesses you, please like, share, and subscribe so more people can hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.At Upper Room Fellowship Church, our focus is Christ and Him Crucified.
