9 Jesus Thrown to the Humans - Mark 9:30-32

What should you do when people with power over you are hurting you? That can be the worst fates in life. But when it happens, you can have hope because of what this passage teaches "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise."

Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.
