Rightly relating Law and Gospel is essential to pure doctrine, faithful preaching, and the comfort of believers. They serve different but complementary purposes in God's redemptive plan. Mixing or opposing them produces either legalism or antinomianism—the two extremes. Grab your Bible and join us as we learn about this important doctrine.

Why didn't Jesus just say, "Your will be done?" And what are we to make of the fact that God said "no" to his request, "Take this cup from me"? Or when God says no to our desperate requests? In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed one of the most astonishing prayers in the entire Bible: "Abba, Father, everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will" (Mark 14:36). But why did Jesus ask the Father to take the cup away if He already knew the cross was the reason He came into the world? Was His prayer simply an act of surrender? And if the purpose of prayer is merely to align our will with God's, why do we make requests at all?

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.
