WEEK 3 | JESUS: The Suffering Servant

Dec 8, 2024    Ryan Rice, Sr.

God’s Mysterious Ways: Why Jesus’ purpose was so much higher than we can understand.

The Rejected Servant: Despite performing miracles and signs, Jesus was despised and rejected by those He came to save.

Jesus, the Lamb of God: Why His sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate act of love and salvation for mankind.

A Servant Who Took Our Sin: Jesus bore our iniquities, suffered for our sins, and healed us through His wounds.

Victory Through Suffering: The suffering that seemed like a tragedy was actually the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan for the world.

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan reflects on the beautiful yet humbling truth that Jesus, though He was innocent, willingly suffered in our place so we could be reconciled to God. He came not as a king with outward splendor but as a humble servant, rejected, oppressed, and ultimately crucified for our sins. But, praise God, the story doesn’t end in death—Jesus rose in victory, conquering sin, death, and the grave!


This is the gospel of hope and redemption—no matter how far we’ve gone astray, we have peace with God through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.
