Resurrection South Austin

Father Shawn McCain Tieres | November 23, 2025

The world's advice in tough times is always 'save yourself,' but Jesus did the opposite. On the cross, mocked and dying, he refused to save himself—and that's exactly how he became King. This sermon explores Christianity's most counterintuitive mystery: how a crucified God overthrows darkness not through power and self-preservation, but through forgiveness, solidarity, and sacrificial love. What would it look like to trust that Christ is king in the exact place where you're struggling right now?
