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

Big, Big Family - Mark 10:28-31 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 20, 2024

I Want To See - Mark 10:46-52 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2024

As Jesus was leaving the city with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have ...read more

Call Him - Mark 10:49 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2024

Do you need more motivation to share your faith beyond just feeling compassion for the lost? This brief message will help.
