From "You Are the Christ" to "Get Behind Me, Satan!" – Peter’s Shocking Turn - Mark 8

You can be right about who Jesus is and still miss everything. Dive into the pivotal moment in the Gospel of Mark where Peter's great CONFESSION and his great CONFUSION appear back when Peter finally understands the first half of Mark but totally misses on the second half, which means he misses everything. In this in-depth expository sermon on Mark 8:27-34 (cross-referenced with Matthew 16:13-24 and Luke 9:18-23), discover why getting Jesus' identity right is only half the story—and why the path to glory through suffering is the heart of true discipleship.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. 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.
