Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 28th Sunday B Rich Young Man

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021

By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

Loved But Lost Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

This almost perfect moral young man appeared to be as spiritually healthy as one could possibly be, but Jesus saw something in him that called for radical surgery if he was to ever find eternal life.

This is the story of the rich young ruler who, unlike the rich old ruler, Nicodemus, did not come to Jesus by night, but came to Him publicly in the daytime. All three of the synoptic Gospels tell the story, and each add something extra to the total picture. Matthew tells us he was young. Luke ...read more

Surrender To Win Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Life has two kinds of battles. The kind where, when you surrender you lose, and the kind where, when you surrender you win.

There was only one general that threw fear into the mighty warriors of the Roman Army, and that man was Hannibal of Carthage. Carthage was in North Africa, and was the rival of Rome.

Go Thy Way-Jesus And The Rich Young Ruler Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 6, 2020

He had all the "right stuff", humanly speaking, but he knew something was wrong. He ran to Jesus, listened to Jesus, but walked away. "Go thy way" wasn't something he wanted to do.

Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Glasgow, MO, 2014 This is not an exact transcription Background: When an event in Scripture is recorded once, it’s clearly important. This event was mentioned in three of the four Gospels! This event took place shortly before the Lord Jesus ...read more

The Flesh Is Willing

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 21, 2019

Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! No, I am not trying ...read more

The Peril Of Having Too Much Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 28, 2021

The rich young ruler and his decision to walk away from the call of Jesus shattered the disciple's beliefs about riches being an exclusive sign of favor with God. Money and possessions tend to be a hindrance to faith in Him instead.

A young man whom the Scriptures refer to as a "rich young ruler" came before Jesus with a question on how to obtain eternal life. After using the Law as a means of examining his motives, Jesus instructed him to go and sell all his possessions in order to receive spiritual treasure and ...read more
