Rich Young Ruler Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 13, 2017

The Lord Jesus was on His way to the Cross. If this man followed Jesus, it would lead him to the foot of the cross. Something, however was keeping him from going after the Lord. His riches were his stumbling block.

The Man Who Only Had Two Things: Everything & Nothing Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018

Jesus designs a different solution for each person. If you have a competing god ruling your life, Jesus will give you a unique word to replace that god with the true and Living God.

INTRODUCTION Have you ever left home and had a funny feeling you have forgotten something? You don’t know what it was, but you just had this nagging feeling.

Can You Thread A Needle With Your Camel? Series

Contributed by Kendall Hicks on Apr 11, 2016

In this message we discover that Jesus is not against us having money; but when money has us it's a whole different issue. Greed costs us more than we'll ever get from being greedy.

Intro: The African hunters have an interesting strategy when it comes to catching monkeys. The hunter will take a hollow gourd, cut a hole in it just large enough for the monkey to fit its hand through, but too small for the monkey to pull its closed fist out, bait the trap with peanuts, rice, or ...read more

Contributed by Steve Ely on May 19, 2016

Hometown. Comfortable confines. Known streets. Familiar sights. Our people. Our mission field? Our challenge? Our assignment?

Hometown Pt. 3 - Playing Keep Away Introduction Apathy. It is the target of our attack. It is the epidemic of our day. We are swamped with the "I don't cares!" We don't want to be bothered or interrupted with concern. We walk through life avoiding involvement by using every excuse/loophole we can ...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. What to do—We must find our answers in Jesus. How?—By coming to understand three things: I The Most ...read more

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

JESUS loves and responds to interruptions

Nothing Is Impossible Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

The word “impossible” means nothing to God! The birth of a baby born to a virgin was a miracle! The Lord can also miraculously bring light to a dark situation. “Never doubt in the dark, what God spoke while you were in the light.”

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Nothing Is Impossible,” as we briefly touch on the account of how baby Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary. I would like to begin with some inspirational quotes and illustrations; and I’ll start by sharing one entitled “Impossible Takes Longer.” Charles F. ...read more

Privilege Or Service?

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Feb 8, 2022

Do we make demands of Jesus to do what we want or follow the path Jesus sets for us?

I want to set the stage before we examine the scripture: Jesus had been traveling, preaching, and teaching for three years with these twelve disciples. Everything he had done was in preparation for them continuing his ministry – and time and time again, it was evident that they were “not getting” ...read more

Contributed by Jamie Bogaard on Apr 15, 2019

The Rich young ruler was a good guy looking for the finishing touches on his life to secure eternal life. When he couldn't find this on his own he turns to Jesus for an answer.

On the Road with Jesus: The Rich Young Ruler Luke 18:18-27 March 24, 2019 As we get closer to Easter, Jesus begins to get a little closer to Jerusalem.

Realistic Expectations Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Feb 6, 2019

The RYR approached Jesus with some expectations. Jesus also had expectations of him. The application for us is that we have expectations from God (some realistic and some unrealistic) and He has expectations of us which he will not alter.

1. Obsession There was a preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he got, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was his obsession. One Sunday was a picture-perfect day for golf. The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do. The urge to play golf overcame him. He called his ...read more
