Summary
What do you do when you’re free but still struggling?
In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Bishop T.D. Jakes connects the challenges Israel faced in the wilderness in Exodus 17 to our present-day hope in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
When pressure rises and resources run dry, frustration can take over. But even in your wilderness, God is already pointing to something greater — revealing how He brings life through Jesus, even in hard places.
No matter what feels hard, stuck, or immovable in your life, God is still able to bring breakthrough, roll the stone away, and call you into new life.
Message: “Sticks and Stones”
Scripture: Exodus 17:1-6 (KJV)

| 1:46.0 | But he heard the cry. |
