What kind of king chooses suffering over splendor—a Roman cross over a royal throne? The road to our redemption was lonely and pitted with pain, but through it all, Jesus overcame every temptation and learned obedience to the Father through what He suffered. In Suffering King, join us as we journey with Jesus to Calvary and dive deeper into what it means to truly follow Him!
In this special Easter sermon from Pastor Lee Cummings, hear how Jesus’ decisive victory on the third day paved a way for our future. He is Jesus, our Christus Victor!
Sermon Highlights
Colossians 2:13-15 (ESV)
“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.”
If Good Friday asked the question “Who is this man?” then Easter morning answered the question… He is Jesus, our Christus Victor
What occurred on the morning of resurrection that made Friday “so good”?
Jesus’ decisive victory on the third day means that your history ended at the cross and your future began with the resurrection
