Joy In Abandonment

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

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

Let's Call Him Samuel!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Aug 29, 2022

Our Bible text tells of a man searching for something. Matthew tells us he was a young man; Luke describes him as a ruler, or what we would call an aristocrat. And Matthew, Mark, & Luke all tell us he was rich. Today he’s often called the Rich Young Ruler.

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.

The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do. The urge to play golf overcame him. He called his ...read more

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.

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.
