Rich Ruler Pt.2 The Role Of The Law - Mark 10:17-27 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 14, 2024

In the message on the rich young ruler, there were some points I didn’t have time for that I’d like to cover. First, I want to explain a little further about the role of the law.

Introduction Why Perfection is Required If you want to be justified by the law, you have to keep it perfectly. Galatian 3:10-12 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the ...read more

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 15, 2024

You can’t overstate how dire the warnings about money are in Scripture—especially Jesus’ warnings. He always connected it to your eternal destiny. It’s a really, really big deal.

Learn from Jesus' approach to evangelism.

Evangelism Verse 23: Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is to get people into the kingdom. If only I had taken a different approach! I just blew it with that guy.

Separation Anxiety - Mark 10:17-27 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 20, 2024

Why did Jesus tell the rich young ruler the way to eternal life is to keep the law? And why was he the one guy who had to sell everything in order to be saved? And what does all that have to do with your daily life?

Mark 10:17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-- except God alone. 19 You know the ...read more

Three Ways We Sin

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on May 28, 2022

I was going door-to-door. I met a woman who said, “I have never sinned.” I knew this wasn’t true. It couldn’t be true; the Bible tells me this is not true.

None does good, no not one. Romans 3:12, Psalm 14:3 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 We are all like sheep; we’ve gone astray: everyone has turned to his own way. Isaiah 53:6 I’m reminded of the story of “The Rich Young Ruler,” recorded in Matthew 19:16-26, Mark ...read more

A Warning That Bears Repeating

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022

As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

The Rich Young Ruler Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 3, 2023

When the rich young ruler comes to Jesus, we have a living example before the eyes of the disciples of the contrast. Here is someone willing to pay the price of spiritual discipline, yet someone who could not with childlike faith give his all to Christ.

Rich Young Ruler Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 13, 2017
