Bought Back Ministries
by Bobby Ferguson
Welcome to the Bought Back Ministries Podcast, where we proclaim the redemption found in Jesus Christ for all who trust in Him for salvation. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23), making all human beings sinners in the sight of God. Redemption is available for all who will believe in Christ because He has redeemed us from the curse of sin with His death on the cross. Study the Word of God with us for encouragement and instruction as we look to Scripture for hope in these troubling times in which we live.

A Journey Only God Could Take - Crucified and Buried

A Journey Only God Could Take - Hated and Beaten
We reach the stage in Jesus' journey where He was viciously beaten by Roman soldiers. Rejected further by His own countrymen, He was turned over to Pontius Pilate and the Roman system of justice. Pilate found no guilt in Jesus, yet the Jews demanded that Barabbas, a known thief and murderer, be...
-
A Journey Only God Could Take - Rejected
Rejection is a hard pill to swallow for many people. No one wants to be rejected by anyone, especially close friends and loved ones. However, if we are devoted to Christ and are committed to sharing our faith with others, rejection is bound to happen. It hurts and is frustrating, but Jesus also...
-
A Journey Only God Could Take - Falsely Accused
As we continue our series, we see that Jesus is brought to the home of the high priest to appear before the Sanhedrin court. False witnesses were brought in by the court to testify falsely against Jesus for the purpose of convicting Him and sentencing Him to death. Join me to find out how Jesus...
-
A Journey Only God Could Take - Betrayed
The next phase of Jesus' journey involves His betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane by Judas Iscariot, one of His own disciples. Weariness had overcome Peter, James, and John and instead of praying with Jesus, they fell asleep three times. The moment of betrayal came, however, and Jesus was…

The New Covenant
How exciting it is to know that Jesus has paid the debt that our sins brought us under. In this episode, we take a look at the first communion service as Jesus explains the significance of the bread and cup. His Body would be broken and His Blood would be shed the very next day as He gave His…

A Tale of Two People
What kind of worshiper are you? Do you look around and just do what everyone else is doing, or do you worship Christ with everything you have? Do you consider Jesus to be most precious to you, or would you sell Him out at first opportunity? In this episode, we compare two different people and…
more -
The Shining of the Son - 3
Join me today for the final installment of the miniseries titled "The Shining of the Son." I discuss the fact of Christ's future return, not any man's theory. Jesus is returning to the earth, and He calls each one of us to be ready. Join me today as we conclude this exciting study before moving...
-
The Shining of the Son - 2
We continue our study of the return of Jesus Christ, as the King comes from heaven to earth to rescue His people and judge the nations.
-
The Shining of the Son - 1
Our series pivots to one of the most controversial subjects in the realm of theological studies, and that is the last days and the return of Christ. In Mark 13, Jesus teaches about what will happen in the end times. In this week's episode, Jesus warns about spiritual deception, world war, and...
-
What is Your Gift and Where Does It Come From?
Giving to the Lord is an important aspect of the Christian life. This is often understood in relation to monetary giving. However, God wants more than our money. He wants us as individuals. He wants people who love Him and are willing to trust Him with everything that they have. This episode…
more -
The Greatest Commandment
In their latest attempt to entrap Jesus in a verbal web of deceit and manipulation, a lawyer asked Jesus which of all of the commandments was the greatest. Jesus' answer may surprise some people, but it cuts to the heart of human actions and motives. Join us in this episode as I unpack Jesus'...
-
The God of the Living
In this episode, another group tries to entrap Jesus. This time, the Sadducees came to Jesus with a riddle that they though would expose Him as a false teacher. Jesus, however, masterfully refuted their presupposition that there is no resurrection. Listen in as we learn how Jesus unraveled the...
-
A Case Against Same-Sex Marriage - Part 2
The case against same-sex marriage continues as we look at a case example from Scripture that shows the destruction waiting for the nation that will accept and endorse homosexuality. The many excuses and demands for tolerance are dealt with as I make the final case and offer my closing arguments…
more -
A Case Against Same-Sex Marriage - Part 1
A very strong and compelling case can be made against same-sex marriage. In fact, the case against it is much stronger than the case for it. Please join me in the first part of my case as I look at the Biblical, political, and social arguments that show that same-sex marriage is a bad policy and...
-
The Erosion and Destruction of a Nation
Celebrating sins such as pride and homosexuality have a devastating impact on society. People often look at homosexuals with pity and encourage them to "just do you." Scripture is clear, however, that homosexuality is an egregious sin against a holy and righteous God. God does not and will not...
-
The Destruction of the Proud
It is the month of June, which means that "Pride Month" is here. The problem is that pride is a sin that is roundly condemned by God. The Lord hates human pride because we have nothing to boast about outside of Him. It is a sad state of affairs when the world celebrates its pride in sin,...
-
Whose Image is On You?
Have you ever considered who you belong to? Scripture teaches that since we are created in the image of God that we belong to God. The Pharisees and Herodians tried to entangle Jesus in an unholy word trap, but Jesus turned the tables on them and proved that we belong to the Lord and we should…

Man's Desperate Struggle for Power - 2
We continue the lesson from the previous episode as Jesus tells a parable that exposes the greed of man and the rebellion in the hearts of many who try desperately to take God's authority over their lives awa y from him. A power play against the Lord is an exercise in futility, and Jesus gives a...
-
Man's Desperate Struggle for Power
The struggle for power and authority is as old as humanity itself. We like to be in control of not only ourselves, but in some instances we even want to be in control of God. This struggle took place when Jesus was alive on earth as religious officials were angry that He drove out the money...
-
The End of an Era and the Beginning of the New
In this week's episode, Jesus curses a fig tree because it did not have any figs. The fig tree represented the nation of Israel, who was spiritually barren when Jesus came to her. Condemning the wicked men who used the temple as a hideout for their sinful practices, Jesus cleared the "robbers"…
more -
The Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ
It is a great thing to know that Jesus Christ defeated our worst enemy, which is sin. He rode into Jerusalem on an unbroken colt of a donkey, indicating peace. As the people celebrated Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, their expectations of Him were skewed. They wanted a messiah who would overthrow...
-
The Man Who Could Not Be Shut Up
Have you ever felt like people do not want you to outwardly praise and worship the Lord? Even in church, many times "religious folks" do not want any type of outward expressions of praise and worship. They even get upset if someone comes forward at the end of the service for salvation or healing....
-
No Room for Rivalries in the Church
Rivalries can be quite explosive. Two teams (or two fanbases) that oppose each other often or that live in close proximity to each other often become rivals because of their familiarity with each other. They want to beat each other badly. This can be fun and good natured, but it can also be...
-
Worldly Wealthy but Spiritually Bankrupt
Wealth is something that just about everyone would love to have. This may surprise you, but the Lord has no problem with us becoming wealthy. The issue is when our pursuit of wealth causes us to walk away from Jesus. In this episode, we learn from Jesus some important lessons on wealth and the...
-
Back From the Dead: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
The most important event in human history is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without the resurrection of Jesus there would be no salvation of souls. No forgiveness of sins. No redemption for fallen humanity. The truth of the resurrection has sustained many attacks over the years with many...
-
So Close, Yet So Far Away
Have you ever been so close to something you wanted, but still felt that it was beyond your reach? Sadly, that is exactly where many people find themselves in relation to the Lord. They are close to the truth, but when they find out what serving Chrost really means, they walk away sad. Sad…

Infant Salvation
Disclaimer: The subject matter of this episode contains material that is of a sensitive nature. In this episode, I deal with the issue of infant salvation. Do babies who die go to heaven? That is the question I deal with in this episode. If you have been affected by the death of a child, then...
-
Divorce and Adultery
One of Satan's biggest targets is the family. Satan tries to attack families every day through divorce as he seeks to leave a trail littered with broken marriages and destroyed families. When asked what He thought about divorce, Jesus made it known that God's standard for marriage is between one...
-
The Horror of Hell
The doctrine of hell is one of the most controversial and rejected teachings of the Bible. The warnings against going to hell are many, and Jesus calls us to get rid of the things that cause us to sin. Instead, of rejecting the doctrine of hell, it is important to understand it so we can...
-
Who Is the Greatest?
The role of a servant is not very prestigious in the world we live in. We are a highly competitive people who wants to be the king of the mountain. God, however, has a different perspective than we do. He wants us to serve one another, not beat each other. If we truly want to please the Lord, we...
-
Glory On the Mountain but Trouble in the Valley

John the Baptist and Elijah

The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ
In one of the most amazing events in the Bible, Jesus met with Moses and Elijah on a mountain to discuss His upcoming death and resurrection. Peter, James, and John were eyewitnesses of this event, and they were nearly knocked over after seeing the curtain pulled back that veiled His divine…

Are You Doing the Spiritual Hokey Pokey?
Commitment to Christ is essential for salvation and growth in the Lord Jesus. While no one is morally perfect, we can be forgiven of our sins if we will come to Christ in faith and repentance.

-
I Can See Clearly Now
Our spiritual vision is something that the Lord is very concerned with. The Holy Spirit is committed to teaching and guiding us so we can learn of Christ and follow Him. This week's episode takes a look at a man who was blind but healed. His healing did not come instantly, however, as Jesus…

Hardened Hearts, Blind Eyes, and Deaf Ears
Many people today want to see a sign from God that the claims of the Bible are true. This is not pleasing to the Lord, however, because He has already given us all the evidence and information that we need to believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. Scripture has been backed up by mounds of...
-
Feeding the Hungry
We all get hungry in this life. We all know about wanting to eat good food that is both tasty and satisfying. However, we go through times of spiritual hunger where we need to be fed by the Lord. The good news is that if you are hungry for the things of God, He is here to satisfy your hunger. In...

Let the Lord Clean Out Your Ears
Are you able to hear the Lord when He speaks to you? Many people cannot hear because they are not tuned in or are just not listening. They may be involved in so many things that they drown out the voice of God. If you cannot hear God speaking to you, it might be time to let him open your ears so...

Godly Mamas Can Knock the Devil Out of You
It is a real blessing to have a mother that prays for her family. Godly mothers are treasures to both her family and the church. Sometimes godly mothers are not strong physically, but they are mighty spiritually. This is because their faith is rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ, who works through...

Five Gifts Only God Can Give

-
Outward Piety is not Inward Purity
People often get caught up in outward appearances. They focus on their behavior instead of their holiness. They spend more time on their image than they do their heart. One of the ways they try to impress others is through religious tradition. However, religion itself will never make anyone right...

Stuck in Tradition
Traditions are a fun way to celebrate certain occasions and events. Families and friends love to get together and enjoy a variety of traditions. However, religious tradition that takes away from or overrides God's Word is not something we should participate in. This is exactly what the Pharisees…

Off Course, but Right On Target
If life seems topsy-turvy at times, it's because. Christians are not immune to the difficulties that life throws at us. We never have to wonder, however, if God is there for us or not. He sees us and knows how to handle every problem that we face. If you feel alone or struggle with understanding...

Against the Wind, Into His Presence
Sometimes it seems like we are rowing against the wind and make little to no headway. In those times, we can take comfort in knowing that we are never out of God's sight or out of His presence. He will show up in unexpected ways in unexpected times. As we walk with Christ, we go through very...
