The Triumphal Entry | Matthew 21:1–11 | Pastor Ian Crooks On Palm Sunday, we remember the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem—not as the conquering king people expected, but as the humble King we desperately need. In this sermon from Free Grace Vernon, Pastor Ian Crooks walks through Matthew 21:1–11 and unpacks the significance of the triumphal entry. The crowds shouted “Hosanna,” laying down palm branches and cloaks in celebration—but many misunderstood the kind of King Jesus truly is. Join us as we prepare our hearts for Easter and see the beauty of a King who saves. Free Grace Vernon (PCA) 1802 45th Avenue, Vernon, BC Sundays at 10:30am | freegracevernon.ca

Pastor Ian Crooks preaching on Matthew 20:29-34. March 22, 2026. When two blind men cry out to Jesus for mercy, the crowd tries to silence them—but they refuse to be quiet. In Matthew 20:29–34, we see a powerful picture of persistent faith, the compassion of Christ, and the kind of sight we all truly need. This sermon invites us to consider: are we crying out to Jesus with that same boldness—and do we recognize our need for Him to open our eyes? 📖 Passage: Matthew 20:29-34 📍 Free Grace Church – Vernon, BC If this message encouraged you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who needs this reminder.

Pastor Ian Crooks preaching on Matthew 20:17-28. March 15, 2026. In Matthew 20:17–28, Jesus turns the world’s idea of greatness upside down. As He prepares His disciples for His coming suffering and death, He teaches that true greatness in God’s kingdom isn’t found in power, status, or recognition—but in humble service. In this sermon we explore how Jesus, the King who came not to be served but to serve, calls His followers to the same radical way of life. What does it mean to follow a Savior who gave His life as a ransom for many? And how should that reshape the way we pursue influence, leadership, and significance? 📖 Passage: Matthew 20:17–28 📍 Free Grace Church – Vernon, BC If this message encouraged you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who needs the reminder that true greatness is found in serving like Jesus.

Pastor Ian Crooks preaching on Matthew 20:1-16. March 8, 2026. The parable of the workers in the vineyard confronts our instincts about fairness and reward. Jesus shows that the kingdom of God does not run on merit but on grace. Whether someone comes early or late, whether their story is long or short, the invitation of the gospel is the same: salvation is a gift from a generous God.

Pastor Ian Crooks preaching on Matthew 19:16-30. March 1, 2026. He had everything… except the one thing that mattered most. In Matthew 19:16–30, Jesus exposes the danger of a heart that wants eternal life — but on its own terms. The rich young ruler walks away sorrowful, not because Jesus wasn’t loving, but because Jesus was. Salvation isn’t earned. It isn’t negotiated. It’s received with empty hands. “What then will we have?” Peter asks. And Jesus answers with a promise far greater than anything we surrender.
