Who is the Holy Spirit? Is He a force, an influence, or a person? In this first message of our series “The Holy Spirit,” we begin exploring what the Bible teaches about the third Person of the Godhead.In John 16, Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure and promises that the Comforter, Helper, and Teacher will come. In this sermon, we look at who the Holy Spirit truly is, His role in creation, how He worked in the Old Testament, and the promise that God would one day pour out His Spirit on all believers.Understanding the Holy Spirit is essential for every Christian because He is the One who guides, teaches, strengthens, and empowers us to live for Christ.In this message we cover:• Who the Holy Spirit is• The Holy Spirit as part of the Godhead• Why the Holy Spirit is a person, not a force• The work of the Holy Spirit in creation• The role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament• God’s promise to pour out His Spirit on His peopleIf you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit lives within you.

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.

In this powerful message from the book of Daniel, Pastor Isaac Hayes reminds us that standing for God’s truth will often put us in difficult situations. Just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, believers today face pressure from culture, society, and even within religious circles to compromise their faith.But the story of the fiery furnace shows us an incredible truth: when we refuse to bow to the idols of this world and stand firmly on the Word of God, we are never alone.Even in the fire, God is with us.This sermon explores the courage of the three Hebrew men, their unwavering faith in the face of death, and the miraculous moment when a fourth man appeared in the flames. Their faith not only delivered them but also revealed the power of God to a wicked king.If you are facing trials, opposition, or pressure to compromise your faith, this message will encourage you to keep standing strong—because there is always a Fourth Man in the fire.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe so more people can hear the Word of God.At Upper Room Fellowship Church, our focus is Christ and Him Crucified.

In Luke 8:35–39, Jesus performs one of the most powerful miracles recorded in the Gospels. A man who had been possessed by a legion of demons, living among the tombs and bound in torment for years, is completely delivered by the power of Jesus Christ.But instead of celebrating the miracle, the people of the region made a shocking decision.They asked Jesus to leave.Why would people reject the Savior after witnessing such a powerful act of deliverance?Because they lost their herd of pigs.In this sermon, “They Preferred the Pigs,” we examine one of the saddest moments in the ministry of Jesus. The people of Gadara chose their comfort, their possessions, and their sinful lifestyle over the presence of Christ.This message explores:• The story of the demon possessed man in Gadara• Jesus’ power over demons and the spiritual world• Why the people rejected Jesus after a miracle• The danger of choosing sin and comfort over Christ• How believers today can become witnesses of God's deliveranceThis passage reminds us that many people still make the same choice today. They hear the Gospel, they see lives transformed, but they refuse to surrender the “pigs” in their lives.The good news is that Jesus still delivers the broken, restores the lost, and gives new life to those who come to Him.Just like the man who was delivered, we are called to tell others what great things the Lord has done for us.Scripture: Luke 8:35–39Sermon Title: They Preferred the PigsTopic: Deliverance, Spiritual Warfare, Salvation, and the GospelIf this message encouraged you:Like the videoLeave a comment or prayer requestSubscribe for more Bible preaching, Gospel messages, and verse-by-verse teachingShare this sermon with someone who needs to hear that Jesus still sets people free today.At Upper Room Fellowship Church, our focus is Christ and Him Crucified.

Put Your Hand On The Sacrifice: Once For AllHebrews 10:1–14In this final message from the series “Put Your Hand On The Sacrifice,” Pastor Isaac Hayes explains how the Old Testament sacrificial system pointed forward to Jesus Christ and how His sacrifice on the cross fulfilled it once and for all.For weeks we have studied the five offerings found in the book of Leviticus:• Burnt Offering• Meat (Grain) Offering• Peace Offering• Sin Offering• Trespass OfferingEach of these sacrifices foreshadowed the coming of the perfect Lamb of God. In Hebrews 10, the Bible teaches that the blood of bulls and goats could never truly take away sin. Those sacrifices only covered sin temporarily, pointing forward to the day when Christ would come and offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice.Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the full price for sin once for all.This message will encourage believers to keep their faith firmly placed in the finished work of Christ and remind us that everything we need for salvation is found in His sacrifice.Upper Room Fellowship Church1910 S College RdSunday Service – 10:00 AMIf you are in the area, we would love for you to come worship with us.At Upper Room Fellowship Church, our focus is Christ and Him Crucified.

In this powerful message, Paris Ragan (Crossfire Youth Ministry / Jimmy Swaggart Ministries) teaches on the importance of the renewing of the believer’s mind and how true transformation happens through the work of the Holy Spirit.Using Titus 3, this sermon explores the reality of the born-again experience, the washing of regeneration, and the daily renewal that God performs in the life of every believer. While salvation brings a new heart and new life, believers must continually allow their minds to be renewed through faith in Jesus Christ and what He accomplished at the Cross.Paris Ragan challenges the church to move beyond simply knowing the truth and instead become vessels useful in God’s hands, devoted to good works and shaped into the image of Christ.This message addresses:The washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy SpiritWhy believers must continually renew their mindsThe difference between living under grace and living like sin still reignsThe importance of forgiveness, humility, and spiritual growthHow faith in Christ and the Cross gives believers victory over sinScripture Text: Titus 3:7Speaker: Paris RaganMinistry: Crossfire Youth Ministry | Jimmy Swaggart MinistriesMessage Title: A Mind Being Made NewIf this message blessed you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share so others can hear the Gospel and grow in their walk with Christ.At Upper Room Fellowship Church, our focus is Christ and Him Crucified.

In Part 5 of our series Put Your Hand On The Sacrifice, Pastor Isaac Hayes teaches on the fifth offering found in Leviticus — the Trespass Offering (also known as the Guilt Offering) from Leviticus 5:14–6:8.What is the difference between the Sin Offering and the Trespass Offering? Why did God require restitution in addition to sacrifice? What does it mean to trespass against God — or against a neighbor? And how does this Old Testament offering point directly to Jesus Christ?In this message, we explore:The difference between sin and trespassSins against God’s holy thingsSins committed in ignoranceSins against a neighbor and the necessity of restitutionWhy repentance involves confession and making things rightHow Jesus became our ultimate Trespass OfferingThough written thousands of years ago, this offering reveals powerful truth about guilt, repentance, forgiveness, and the finished work of Christ at the cross.Jesus not only forgives our sin — He paid our debt.
