God created humanity with a purpose: to rule over His creation as His image-bearers. But sin shattered that calling. Instead of living in glory and dominion, humanity now lives under the shadow of suffering and death.

In this sermon Pastor James O'Dell, using Hebrews 2:5–9, reminds us that while we do not yet see humanity ruling as God intended, but Jesus came to to earth to conquer death and place humans back in their proper order. This is not being realized fully right now, it will when Jesus returns.

The story of the gospel is the story of dominion lost… and dominion restored in Christ.
