Mark 11:1-11

In this message, we examine the well-known story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Sadly, this story is really more of a tragedy, as the people fail to recognize the true nature of their Redeemer and five days later call for His crucifixion.

2 Samuel 19:9-40

David, returning from civil war, encounters people expressing their regrets: one for actions done in the past, another who was slandered, and a third who refuses a kind offer by the king. David once again points us to our Lord’s kindness to us and His restoring power.

2 Samuel 18-19:8

A reminder that the news we hear so often is a mixture of good and bad, that even in the best of circumstances joy is mixed with sorrow. The death of David’s son Absalom ends the strife of civil war, but grief overtakes gladness. Nevertheless, we have reason for a confident joy as we trust in the Man of Sorrows who is our reigning King.

Mark 10:17-31,46-52

In this sermon, Pastor Ferguson compares and contrasts two well-known stories – the rich young ruler and the healing of blind Bartimaeus. Both claimed to have faith, but in the end their faiths were revealed to have different perspectives and confidence in different people. This passage challenges us to consider the authenticity of our faith and to cry out to God once again, “Help my unbelief!”

2 Samuel 16:15 - 17:23

David’s prayer for Ahithophel’s counsel to Absalom to be turned to foolishness is answered. 2 Samuel 16:15-17:23 shows the tragic ends of those who reject God’s counsel and that the Ahithophels of the world cannot vanquish the armies of God.
