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.
