As we continue in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is nearing His final entry into Jerusalem. From the end of chapter 8 through chapters 9 and 10, He focuses on teaching His disciples that His mission involves suffering and death, and that following Him means denying self and taking up the cross (Mark 8:34). However, the disciples repeatedly miss this truth, consumed by their own desires for greatness and status (Mark 9:34). Despite Jesus' clear warnings—such as the call to be “last of all and servant of all” (Mark 9:35)—they cling to their desire for greatness, even trying to stop others from serving in His name (Mark 9:38). In this Sunday's passage, Mark 10:13-16 (with context through verse 27), we see Jesus rebuke the disciples for hindering parents who bring their young children to Him for a blessing. The disciples, still chasing prominence, view these children as insignificant. Jesus, indignant, declares, “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14). He emphasizes that the kingdom must be received with the helpless dependence of a child—not through status, accomplishments, or self-reliance. This theme continues as Jesus contrasts the children's dependence with the rich young ruler, who will not let go of his wealth or status to follow Jesus (Mark 10:17-27). The children show us the right way to receive the kingdom—empty-handed, trusting fully in God's grace—while the rich man's reliance on his achievements leaves him sorrowful and outside the kingdom. Receiving Children as Jesus Does (Mark 10:13-14) Receiving the Kingdom as a Child (Mark 10:15-16)

Many of us love to be nice and clean but what about on the inside? How can we know inner cleansing and being at peace with God? What strategies don't work?

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Absolutely — let's build a complete definition of jealousy by pulling together the different angles from Scripture, psychology, and language:   Definition of Jealousy   1. General / Dictionary Sense   Jealousy is a feeling of resentment, bitterness, or insecurity that arises when we perceive a threat to something we value—such as a relationship, possession, status, or recognition.  It often involves fear of loss and resentment toward others who have what we desire.   2. Biblical Sense   The Bible uses jealousy in two distinct ways:   Sinful Human Jealousy (envy, rivalry):     * Wanting what someone else has.   * Resenting their success, blessings, or relationships.   * Leads to anger, strife, and destructive actions (James 3:16; Galatians 5:20).   Righteous Divine Jealousy (protective love):**      God's passionate commitment to His people and His own glory.    Not born out of insecurity, but out of covenant love and holiness (Exodus 34:14; 2 Corinthians 11:2).    Like a husband's rightful desire for his wife's faithfulness.   3. Psychological Understanding - or breaking it down in the brain   Jealousy is often a complex emotion made up of:     Fear (of being replaced, overlooked, or abandoned).   Anger/resentment (toward the one we feel threatened by).   Insecurity (about our own worth or position). Unlike envy (wanting what someone else has), jealousy often involves a triangular relationship: Me, the other person, and the rival/threat or appearance of what I lack.    4. Key Distinctions   Envy = “I want what you have.” Jealousy = “I'm afraid you'll take what I have” or “I resent you for threatening my place (i.e. I don't measure up to you).” God's Jealousy = “I will not allow you to give your love to idols because I love you and know what's best for you.”   Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. Jealousy keeps us from doing both. Rejoice? But I don't have that! Mourn? No they deserve to suffer, because I have had to suffer.   But here is what is weird… when we rejoice over those who are succeeding, being blessed, hitting goals, achieving greatness… when we rejoice with them in that we are planting seeds of their success into our lives.  If we truly reap what we sow… then when we rejoice with others we in turn have just planted seeds-IN FAITH- for the day people will rejoice over our success.  So here is the power thought for the day. We don't just sow money, time talents… we sow emotions. If the emotions we choose to sow are positive we will reap the benefits of that… but if they are negative towards people… well, I bet you can figure it out.    ---   ✅ **Complete Definition (Combined):** **Jealousy** is an intense emotional response that can be either sinful or righteous. In its sinful form, it is a self-centered resentment or hostility toward others because of their advantages, relationships, or blessings, often leading to strife and destruction. In its righteous form—used of God—it is His holy, protective zeal for the exclusive devotion of His people and the honor of His name, rooted not in insecurity but in perfect love and covenant faithfulness.   That's a really thoughtful question. The Bible treats **jealousy** as dangerous and destructive, but the reason why depends on how the word is used in Scripture. Let's break it down:   ---   1. Jealousy as a Sin (Human Jealousy)**   Most often, the Bible speaks of jealousy in the sense of **envy, rivalry, or coveting what others have**. This is why it's seen as evil:   It leads to division and strife.**   *“For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.”* (James 3:16)   Jealousy doesn't just stay internal—it spills out into conflict and chaos.   It comes from pride and insecurity.**   Jealousy says, “What God gave me is not enough; I deserve what you have.” That challenges God's wisdom and provision.   It destroys relationships.**   Cain killed Abel out of jealousy (Genesis 4:3–8). Saul tried to kill David because “Saul was very angry … ‘They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands'” (1 Samuel 18:7–9).   It is linked with the “works of the flesh.”**   Galatians 5:20–21 lists jealousy along with fits of anger, rivalries, and envy as things that keep people from inheriting the kingdom of God.   2. God's “Jealousy” (a Different Kind)**   At the same time, Scripture also describes God as *jealous* (Exodus 34:14; Deuteronomy 4:24). But this isn't the same as sinful human jealousy.   * God's jealousy is about **protective love**. He won't share His people with idols because He knows only He can satisfy them. * It's like a loving husband's jealousy for his wife's faithfulness—not rooted in insecurity, but in covenant love.   3. **Why Human Jealousy Is So Evil**   So the Bible condemns human jealousy because:   * It **springs from self-centeredness** rather than love. * It **questions God's goodness** and fairness. * It **tears communities apart** instead of building them up. * It is the **opposite of love**, which “does not envy” (1 Corinthians 13:4).   In short: **God's jealousy protects love, but our jealousy destroys it.**       Perfect — here are some of the clearest **biblical stories where jealousy led to disaster**:   ---   ### **1. Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:3–8)**   * **What happened:** God accepted Abel's offering but not Cain's. Cain became jealous and murdered his brother. * **Lesson:** Jealousy escalated into anger, bitterness, and ultimately the first murder in human history.   ---   ### **2. Joseph and His Brothers (Genesis 37:3–28)**   * **What happened:** Jacob favored Joseph, giving him the “coat of many colors.” His brothers became jealous of his dreams and sold him into slavery. * **Lesson:** Jealousy within a family destroyed trust and nearly killed Joseph.   ---   ### **3. Korah's Rebellion (Numbers 16:1–35)**   * **What happened:** Korah and his followers were jealous of Moses and Aaron's leadership. They challenged God's choice and were swallowed up by the earth. * **Lesson:** Jealousy against God's appointed leaders is ultimately rebellion against God Himself.   ---   ### **4. Saul and David (1 Samuel 18:6–16; 19:8–10)**   * **What happened:** After David killed Goliath, people praised him more than King Saul. Saul grew jealous and tried multiple times to kill David. * **Lesson:** Jealousy blinded Saul to David's loyalty and destroyed his kingship.   ---   ### **5. The Religious Leaders and Jesus (Mark 15:10; Matthew 27:18)**   * **What happened:** Pilate recognized that the religious leaders handed Jesus over to be crucified **out of envy/jealousy.** * **Lesson:** Jealousy of Jesus' influence and authority led to the ultimate injustice—His crucifixion.   ---   ### **6. The Pharisees and the Apostles (Acts 5:17; 13:45)**   * **What happened:** The high priest and Sadducees were jealous of the apostles' popularity and miracles, so they persecuted them. Later, the Jews in Antioch opposed Paul out of jealousy when Gentiles responded to the gospel. * **Lesson:** Jealousy can oppose the very work of God.   ---

"Trusting the Heart of Jesus” Mark 7:24-30Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

3 Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. 2 And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” 4 And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him. A Great Crowd Follows Jesus7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea 8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. 9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him, 10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known. The Twelve Apostles13 And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter); 17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. 21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house. 28 “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” Jesus' Mother and Brothers31 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.” 33 And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Mk 3:1–35.

[9] And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” [10] For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. [11] But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. [12] And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” [13] And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” [14] And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” [15] So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

2 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk'? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— 11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” 12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!” Jesus Calls Levi13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. 15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” A Question About Fasting18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.” Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.” The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Mk 2:1–28.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you would like to learn more about this project, click the link to discover more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 12:35-37: And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.”' David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?” And the great throng heard him gladly.  — Mark 12:35-37 After fielding a string of trick questions from religious leaders, Jesus turns the tables and asks a question of his own. At first glance, it sounds simple: “How can the Christ be David's son, if David calls him Lord?” But it's a loaded question. Because in Jewish tradition, a father always held greater honor than a son. And yet, David, the greatest king in Israel's history, refers to his own descendant as “Lord.” Jesus is forcing the spiritual elite to stop thinking in terms of physical hierarchy and start thinking in terms of divine authority. He's quoting Psalm 110, where David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, prophesies about a coming Messiah who would sit at God's right hand, a place of divine power. In short, Jesus is saying: “David wasn't just writing about his family tree. He was writing about me.” And if that's true, and it is, then the Messiah is not merely a political figure or a human descendant. He is the Lord, David's Lord, and our Lord. It's easy to develop a small view of Jesus. To admire him as a wise teacher. To respect him as a prophet. To even call him Savior, without surrendering to him as Lord. But Jesus is both the Son of David and the Lord of David. Both fully human and fully divine. The fulfillment of prophecy—and the author of it. Which is mind-blowing when you really think about it. Here's the point: Jesus won't always be the one answering questions. Sometimes he asks them of us. Not to check your theology, but to reveal your heart. So let's make it more personal: Who is Jesus to you? A historical figure—or your living King? A religious concept—or your ultimate authority? Because how you answer that question changes everything. How you think, feel, and act. #JesusIsLord, #Mark12, #SonAndSovereign ASK THIS: Why is David calling his descendant “Lord” such a big deal? What does this reveal about Jesus' divine authority? Where have you admired Jesus but failed to submit to him? What question is Jesus asking you today? DO THIS: Read Psalm 110. Let the weight of Jesus' identity as both Son and Sovereign shift how you speak to him and live for him today. PRAY THIS: Jesus, you are more than I realize. Help me see you clearly and surrender fully. Expand my thoughts, my desires, and my decisions to reflect who you truly are. Amen. PLAY THIS: “King of Kings”

Jesus calls us to more than belief—He calls us to surrender. This message unpacks what it means to pick up your cross, deny yourself, and follow Him. We'll explore the call to total allegiance, the death of earthly desires, and the truth that real self-denial leads not to loss, but to life in Christ.

Encounters with Jesus We are now on day 19 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! We have seen how Jesus is the ‘I AM’, and by doing so, equates himself with God! Today we look at how two particular individuals reacted when they each encountered this great ‘I AM’! A rich young ruler encounters Jesus! Our first one is found in 3 of the gospels, Matthew 19:16-26 and Luke 18:18-27, but we will look only at the passage in Mark 10v17: As Jesus started on his way; a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honour your father and mother.'" "Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy." Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" Matthew describes him as a young man (Matthew 19v16-26). Luke describes him as a wealthy ruler (Luke 18v18-27). In Mark’s account, he is simply a man (Mark 10v17-22). Put altogether that makes him a rich young ruler. He runs up to Jesus and falls on his knees before him. He wants eternal life, wants it now and so asks Jesus about it. When he calls Jesus a good teacher, Jesus responds “No one is good—except God alone.” What do you think you are asking? Now Jesus could have been correcting the young man, but more likely Jesus was asking: “Do you know what you are saying and how close to the truth about me you are?” This young man had fully kept the commandments listed by Jesus (Mark 10v19). However when Jesus said to the young ruler that in order to follow Him, he would have to give up all his wealth in order to have treasure in heaven and eternal life, the man left disconsolate. That was a step too far for this man. He wanted his riches and also eternal life but Jesus said he couldn’t have both. He remains the only man to have left Jesus’ presence sorrowful, and that due to putting his trust in his riches and wealth alone. Now riches are not necessarily wrong but they do make trusting fully in God very difficult (Mark 10v23). So what does trusting in Jesus look like? An Outcast Woman encounters Jesus! Now we look at somebody who was despised by the world and an outcast in her community! Reading from John 4v3-10, 23-26 So he left Judea and returned to Galilee. He had to go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” Then down to verse 23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus told her, “I Am the Messiah!” Now we come to see somebody who accepted Jesus for who he was. Jesus went via Samaria as it was the shortest route back to Galilee. It was hot. Jesus was thirsty and wanted a drink. His disciples had gone into town to get food. So he asks a Samaritan woman to fetch him some water from the well. That he asked a Samaritan would have been bad enough, but to also talk to a woman! The woman We don’t know the name of this woman. But by looking at this conversation between Jesus and her, we discover several things about her! That she was a Samaritan. There was equal animosity between Jews and Samaritans, hence the end of John 4v9: “(For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)” The Samaritans were a mixed race people of both Jewish and Assyrian descent from the time of the division of Israel into two parts and the annexation of the Northern kingdom by Assyria. She was an outcast, which is why she was fetching water at the hottest part of the day! This was probably due to her sexual immorality having had 5 husbands and currently in a 6th relationship (John 4v18). We do know for sure that she was waiting for the Messiah (John 4v25) to come! What does this encounter tell us about Jesus? We see Jesus' genuine humanity. He was tired, drained, hot, thirsty and hungry – normal human feeling and reactions. We know Jesus contravened tradition in that he spoke to a woman who was a Samaritan and a sinner. Respectable Jewish men never did that sort of thing! Hence the disciples reaction in John 4v27! That in asking for water, he was capable of great humility by asking for a drink of water; for by so doing, he was putting himself in her debt. Yet, he knew the woman’s life of sinfulness (John 4v17) and it tells us of his divinity, when he offered her the water of eternal life (John 4v14) would spiritually satisfy her (John 4v14)! He Loved the woman, and gave her the most revealing and explicit statement we have in the Gospels as to who he really was (John 4v26) when he said outright “I Am the Messiah!” Remember, he said that to an outcast and non-Jew! Amazing! When the disciples returned, the woman left her water jar, (quite probably one of her only possessions) and went back to the town to tell other people about this Jesus (John 4v29-30). In the remainder of John 4, we read of the many people coming to faith because of the Samaritan woman’s testimony. Jesus as the ‘I AM’, was ever-reaching out with an all-encompassing forgiveness and love to the poor or rich, learned or uneducated, male or female, wanted or unwanted, Jew, Gentile or Samaritan. Through his exclusive claims there is a great inclusiveness of all who are willing to submit only to Him, as both the rich young ruler and the Samaritan women found out – both with different outcomes – one left dejected and the other left celebrating!

In this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Ken Polk, father of Pastor Jason Polk, shares a moving message at Echo Church centered on the healing of the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5. Ken reflects on the themes of faith, persistence, and the courage to reach out to Jesus even in the midst of a crowd. Drawing on personal anecdotes, biblical teaching, and reflections on the nature of crowds and faith, he emphasizes how Jesus responds not just to casual contact but to sincere, faith-filled hearts. Ken encourages listeners to consider their own condition—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional—and challenges them to press through life's obstacles to make a personal connection with Christ. He reminds us that Jesus sees and responds to those who reach out in faith, offering healing, peace, and transformation. The message culminates in a call to honest confession, public faith, and the assurance that only Jesus can truly satisfy the deepest needs of our souls. No matter how overlooked or hopeless we feel, Jesus notices a heart of real faith. Step out of the crowd, reach for Him, and He will respond.

Text: Mark 10:17–31 Coleton taught from the story of the rich young ruler, highlighting how a man who seemed to have everything—morality, status, and wealth—still lacked the one thing that truly mattered: Jesus. His story shows us three important lessons we must learn if we want to experience eternal life and freedom. 1. Good Moral Behavior Cannot Earn Eternal Life The rich man did everything right—he kept the commandments, approached Jesus with humility, and even received Jesus' love—but he still lacked something. Jesus identified the issue: the man didn't want Jesus, he wanted eternal life on his own terms. Eternal life isn't a reward for good behavior; it's a relationship with Jesus. Jesus made this clear: “You still lack one thing… come, follow me.” (v. 21) Eternal life is not about what you've done; it's about who you're with. Jesus offers Himself, not a checklist. And many religious people today are in danger of missing Jesus because they substitute routines for relationship. “Eternal life is life with Jesus, not just doing things for Jesus.” 2. You Will Always Sacrifice for What You Worship Jesus asked the man to give up his wealth because it had become his god. But the man walked away sad. Why? Because even though he said no to Jesus, he still sacrificed something—his joy—for his idol. Coleton showed how everyone sacrifices for what they worship: money, power, approval, comfort—all demand sacrifice. The question isn't will you sacrifice? but for whom or what will you sacrifice? The promise of Jesus is that any sacrifice for Him is always worth it. He gives back more—both in this life and the one to come. 3. Many People Stay Trapped Because They Choose To The man recognized something was missing in his life. He came to Jesus looking for answers. Jesus gave him one—but the man chose to walk away sad. Like a monkey caught in a trap holding onto rice, the man wouldn't let go of what was trapping him. His imprisonment was a choice. Many of us are the same. Jesus offers freedom, joy, and life—but we reject it because we won't let go of control, sin, pride, or pain. Coleton challenged the listeners to stop choosing captivity when Jesus offers freedom. ⸻ Discussion Questions:     1.    In what ways are you tempted to treat eternal life like a reward instead of a relationship?     2.    Are there areas in your life where you're “doing the right things” but missing closeness with Jesus?     3.    What are you currently sacrificing for the thing you worship most? Is it worth the cost?     4.    Jesus promises more than what you sacrifice—do you trust Him to provide in the places you feel afraid to let go?     5.    Is there something you know Jesus is calling you to let go of—but you've been holding onto it? What's keeping you from releasing it?     6.    Have you ever felt like the rich man—sad, stuck, or spiritually dry—despite doing everything “right”? What do you think Jesus might be inviting you into instead? ⸻ Quoted Authors and Illustrations:     •    John Maxwell “A wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others' mistakes.”     •    David Foster Wallace (from his 2005 Kenyon College commencement address) “There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships… Worship money and you will never have enough… Worship your body and beauty and you will always feel ugly… Worship power and you will feel weak… Worship your intellect… you will end up feeling like a fraud.”     •    Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance “There's an old South Indian Monkey Trap… The only reason [the monkey] can't be free is because of his own choices.” ⸻ Key Takeaways:     •    Eternal life isn't earned—it's received through a relationship with Jesus.     •    Everyone sacrifices for what they worship. The only safe place to direct that sacrifice is Jesus.     •    Sometimes the reason we stay stuck is not because there's no way out—but because we won't let go of what's trapping us.  

What is eternal life?Jesus says it's not just living forever — it's knowing Him. In Mark 4, He shows us how the Word (like a seed) can bear fruit in our lives when received in surrendered hearts. Kingdom growth isn't about hype or striving, but the hidden, transforming work of His Word. Let's ask Him to break up what's hard, reveal what's shallow, and make us good soil — so our lives truly reflect Him.

What are the things we magnify in our lives? What do we revolve our lives around? What are we most known for? The triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, recorded in Mark 11, gives us three reasons why we should magnify Jesus in our hearts and lives.

John 14:12 states "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do." As believers, we should be doing greater works than Jesus Himself!

Most people want to relate to Jesus on their own terms, but a “fake Jesus” that we create to meet our needs can't really change or challenge us. If you want a Jesus that can actually transform you, you have to search for the real Jesus. In the earliest gospel account in existence, a writer named Mark introduces us to “The Real Jesus.”  #MoRealJesus
