Episode 166: The Road To The Cross Part 2: Buried Alive

If you keep falling back into the same sins, habits, or struggles, you’re not alone—but there is a way out. Many people try to follow Jesus without fully letting go of their old life, which is why the cycle never breaks. The Bible teaches that real freedom doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from dying to the old you. This message explains why lasting change requires surrender, not just belief. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches what it truly means to follow Jesus by putting your old life to death and stepping into a completely new identity in Christ. In this sermon, you’ll learn: Why you keep going back to the same sin cycles Why believing in Jesus isn’t the same as surrendering to Him How your old identity keeps sabotaging your spiritual growth What water baptism really means (and why it matters) How to finally break free by fully letting your old self die You don’t need a better version of yourself—you need a new life. The moment you stop negotiating with God is the moment everything begins to change. What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is on the other side of letting go completely?
