Discipleship From the Heart | Evangelist Ryan Keel
In this powerful message, Evangelist Ryan Keel challenges believers to move beyond simply knowing the message of the gospel and begin applying it to their hearts and daily lives. Preaching from First Corinthians chapter 9, he emphasizes the Apostle Paul’s warning about becoming “a castaway”—someone who proclaims the truth but fails to allow God to transform what is inside.This sermon calls the church to true discipleship—where faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross produces real change in our hearts, relationships, attitudes, and actions. Evangelist Keel reminds us that Christianity is not about repeating doctrine, but about allowing the power of the cross to shape who we are from the inside out.Topics covered in this message include:The importance of applying the message of the cross to our personal livesGuarding the heart so we remain usable in God’s kingdomLearning to forgive, love others, and overcome offenses through ChristGrowing in spiritual maturity and unity within the churchBringing our weaknesses, struggles, and sins to God for transformationWith personal testimonies, biblical teaching, and heartfelt exhortation, this message encourages believers to pursue authentic discipleship and rely on the power of Christ to change them from within.Scripture References:First Corinthians 9:19–27Romans 5:1–2Matthew 5–7Hebrews 13:5–6If this message blessed you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe to support the spread of the gospel.

Resurrection Life From A Crucified Life | Pastor Stephen Theriot | Resurrection Sunday Sermon | Isaiah 53
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.

There Is A Fourth Man In The Fire | Daniel 3 | Pastor Isaac Hayes
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.

They Preferred the Pigs Over Jesus | Luke 8:35–39 |The Demoniac of Gadara | Isaac M Hayes | 3/22/26
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 All | Hebrews 10:1-14 | Pastor Isaac M Hayes
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.

Looks Can Be Deceiving | Bro. Isaac Hayes | Matthew 23:25-28
In this message, “Looks Can Be Deceiving,” Bro. Isaac Hayes explores Jesus’ powerful words in Matthew 23:25–28, where He confronts the danger of outward religion without inward transformation. While the Pharisees focused on maintaining a clean appearance, Jesus revealed that true righteousness begins in the heart. This message challenges us to move beyond surface-level spirituality and allow Christ to cleanse, renew, and transform us from the inside out.At Upper Room Fellowship Church, our focus is Christ and Him Crucified. We are a fellowship of believers dedicated to lifting up the name of Jesus and proclaiming the finished work of the Cross. Our mission is to equip the Body of Christ with the spiritual tools and biblical foundation needed to reach the lost and share the Good News of salvation.We believe that true transformation comes through the power of the Holy Spirit and the message of the Cross. Through worship, teaching, and outreach, we seek to strengthen the faith of believers and empower them to boldly witness to the world around them.Whether you are searching for a home church or simply seeking to grow deeper in your walk with Christ, we welcome you to join us at Upper Room Fellowship Church — where hearts are ignited, lives are changed, and Christ is exalted.
