Sunday Morning Live Services

Mar 29, 2026    Pastor Walt Sheppard

 This powerful sermon examines the profound sacrifice of Christ's crucifixion and challenges believers to respond with devotion and surrender. The pastor emphasizes that while we celebrate Palm Sunday and the resurrection, we must never forget the brutal reality of the cross—the scourging, mockery, and excruciating death Jesus endured. The sermon contrasts the ease of American Christianity with the radical sacrifice of early believers and missionaries, arguing that true appreciation of Christ's sacrifice should compel believers to offer their lives as a reward for His suffering. The central question posed is: "Is the Lord getting a reward from your life for His sacrifice?" The message calls for a deeper understanding of the cross that moves beyond mere acknowledgment to active, sacrificial service.
