The Rich and the Kingdom of God Mark 10:17-31 New Living TranslationThe Rich Man17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. 19 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.'” 20 “Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” 21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven't done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 At this the man's face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!”24 This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God. 25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” 26 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. 27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” 28 Then Peter began to speak up. “We've given up everything to follow you,” he said. 29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, 30 will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.31 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.”  What It This Scripture Really Saying? ✅ Simple Summary:This passage teaches that following Jesus requires wholehearted trust in God rather than in wealth, possessions, or status. True life in God's Kingdom comes through surrender, generosity, and faith.   Here is How I Have Lived With The Themes In This Scripture 1. It's About TrustWho do you trust for:Your futureYour identityYour security 2. Selflessness vs Self-CenterednessKingdom living means:GivingForgivingServing others  3. How We Handle Money Reveals Our HeartMoney tests:TrustControlFaith Healthy actions that I use to remind/help me to trust and release control:Bless others (tip generously, help people)GiveAvoid debtPlan and budgetSave wisely (no get rich quick schemes)  4. Kingdom Living Expands Your LifeLiving for God moves us from:Self-focused life vs Kingdom-sized life  5. Gratitude and StewardshipAppreciate what you've been given and use it to bless others.  

Whether it be expectations, prejudgments of others, or something we've worked so hard to achieve, we are often called to let them go to wholeheartedly follow Jesus.

What, exactly, is "the Gospel"? Zack argues that it depends on who you are talking to. And this story -- of the woman who gives everything to anoint Jesus -- is a great way to understand the Gospel for many today.

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)

Not all of Jesus' teachings are warm and fuzzy. Some are difficult to understand. Others are jagged little pills that are all too easy to understand but incredibly hard to swallow. Here are some of the hard teachings of Jesus from the Gospel of Mark in the Bible. #MoHardSayings

LITURGY FOR THE MOMENT A liturgy for a politically divided nation 10.27.24 A liturgy for a politically divided nation Father, in the midst of this political season, we turn our eyes to you. Though hatred and discord seem to surround us, Help us to be instruments of your love and vessels of your grace. We declare our primary allegiance to you and your kingdom. and ask for your wisdom as we navigate these complex decisions. As we face agreement and disagreement with others, May we never cease to honor the image of God in every person.We are grateful for the privilege to vote and practice religious freedom, And yet we align ourselves with the countercultural way of Jesus. We renounce the intoxicating allure of power and its false promises. and choose the way of the cross and sacrificial love. Let your kingdom come and your will be done, On earth, and in our country, as it is in heaven. Matthew 5:1-12 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Why is the church struggling to navigate this cultural moment? 1) Politics and political leaders are discipling our nation how to think and how to treat people 2) Many Christians and churches are peddling a false gospel that attempts to conflate our political affiliation with our kingdom allegiance 3) Many Christians have disengaged from trusted voices of the church and are being easily misled and deceived 4) Many Christians have abandoned the ways of Jesus and the “way of the lamb” for the way of power and dominance 5) Many Christians have lost their missional calling to embody the gospel and have resorted to defending or legislating the kingdom of God Mark 12:13-17 13Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. 14They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You arenʼt swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not? 15Should we pay or shouldnʼt we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.”16They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesarʼs,” they replied. 17Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesarʼs and to God what is Godʼs.” And they were amazed at him. We are to be involved in political matters but they are not our hope or identity because we are called to a great purpose. 1. I will pray for you and honor your position 2. I will support you where I can 3. I will defy you where I must The church is called to be a prophetic witness to the world regarding the ways of Jesus and the kingdom of God. The church must renew our commitment to our mission and calling: We must primarily identity as citizens of the kingdom of heaven We must fiercely hold to the life and teachings of Jesus We must stand above politics in order to be a prophetic voice of truth

Mark 10:13-16 (NASB) 13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He would touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Allow the children to come to Me; do not forbid them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” 16 And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them. Sermon Theme: Jesus' blessing of children teaches us important lessons about service, salvation, and our Savior.
