If Jesus is reigning… why does life still feel so broken?

In this message from Hebrews 2:5–9, Pastor Virgil Walker explains what happened to the world, why suffering still exists, and how Jesus—the Last Adam—restores what was lost.

In this sermon, you’ll discover:

Why Adam lost dominion—and why it matters today
How Jesus reclaimed it through the cross
What His victory means for your suffering and your future
How to fix your eyes on Christ in a broken world

This message will help you stop looking at your circumstances—and start resting in the finished work of Christ.
