What Is The Right Question?

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Oct 6, 2021

The rich young ruler ran up to Jesus and asked Him what he had to do to get eternal life. Jesus not only looked at his outward appearance but his inner being.

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

The Rich Man's Choice

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Oct 16, 2021

At some point we all have to make the same choice the Rich Man was faced with when he encountered Jesus in Mark 10:17-31. Will you be willing to give everything up to follow Him?

SPELUNKING How many here are familiar with the practice of exploring caves or spelunking? How many of you have ever gone spelunking? How many enjoy just saying the word spelunking? It’s like the sound water makes when it drops in a bucket… spelunking. It’s a fun word! And it’s an even more fun ...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 Conversation With A Rich Young Man

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022

Have you noticed that most of our conversations are with people that are in the same age bracket we are in?

There is an obvious reason for that, we generally talk to people our own age because we feel that we have something in common with them. For example, I can listen to young people talk and they are talking about singers, athletes and entertainers I never heard of. So naturally, if they want to ...read more

The Most Important Thing Of All

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022

We look everywhere else rather than to Jesus for the answers to life's problems. But Jesus has--and IS!--the answer to our most important questions. Therefore, we must find our answers in Jesus.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL Mark 10:17-31 What is wrong?—Looking elsewhere—rather than to Jesus—for answers. What is true?—Jesus has—and IS!—the answer to our most important questions.

Receiving Treasure In Heaven

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022

Our treasure on earth eclipses our desire for "treasure in heaven." Only God can give us a desire for "treasure in heaven." Therefore, we must forsake our treasure on earth and follow Jesus to receive "treasure in heaven."

You will notice how this passage begins. We are told that Jesus ‘was setting out on his journey’ (v. 17). And we know where that journey will lead. It will take Jesus to Jerusalem, where a cross awaits Him. He has already foretold His death twice in recent days, and He will speak of it again—in ...read more

How Will We Come To Jesus? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 31, 2014

Jesus never offered the easy way; he never gave us a quick-fix solution to life. However, He says is that He is WORTH it … and we have a choice to make, will we submit all that we are and come to Him - or choose to deny Him for our own selfish desires?

How will we come to Jesus? Mark 10:1-31 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” - Today we continue to see something very unique to Mark’s Gospel -- The glory of God is revealed; as is the Christian’s glory in Him -- In our service to God is where we ...read more
