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

Right Minus Wrong = ?

Contributed by Joel Santos on Oct 2, 2004

We have all sinned. We’re all displeased by sin, and that disease is fatal. Perhaps these are some of the same things that drove this young ruler in the Bible to seek advice and counsel from Jesus Christ.

There’s a strong desire for an ideology that will give meaning to our existence. We have all sinned. ...read more

Do You Feel Insignificant? Series

It is the only place where we see Jesus presented for circumcision at the Temple, and the only gospel that ...read more

Looking at and answering the questions asked by Nicodemus (John 3: 1-21), the Rich Young Ruler (Luke 18:18 ) and Paul's jailer (Acts 16:30)) and that is 'What Must I Do To Be Saved?'
