You Can't Redeem Yourself — But He Can

Mar 29, 2026

We all know something is broken — and the self-help industry, social media highlight reels, and hustle culture are all trying to fix it. But what if the problem runs deeper than any of those solutions can reach? This Palm Sunday, Brett Ferguson opens Luke 19 and asks a question that cuts right to the heart: who — or what — are you trusting to redeem you?


Walking through Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Brett unpacks three reasons only King Jesus can redeem: he has unique authority over all things, he is the long-promised Son of David, and he is moved by deep compassion for broken people. The sermon lands with a challenge that leaves no comfortable middle ground — crown him or kill him, but don't just like him.


Here's a couple key takeaways

• Jesus has authority over every area of your life — not just your circumstances, but your heart, your habits, and your affections.

• Jesus is not a self-help guru or life coach — he came to be King, and he's asking for full surrender, not casual admiration.

• Whatever shame or brokenness you carry, there is no path in your life that King Jesus cannot redeem.
