You Must Be POOR to Be Saved: The Mark Series pt 37 (

- Jesus' interaction with the rich, young ruler has been used by some to promote socialism and others have approached it looking for an explanation of justification like what we find in Romans. After spending some time on this passage and in the Gospel of Mark as a whole I think both of these approaches are wrong. This will be a careful, vs by vs study of Jesus' interaction with the rich man in Mark 10. We'll look at some controversy about this passage but our main concern will be to hear Jesus' radical call to come to Him for salvation, which is impossible for us to obtain without Him, and to come fully invested in His kingdom. What Jesus teaches through this encounter gives us not only an offer of salvation but a call to discipleship, where Jesus is not only a source of forgiveness, He is the very purpose of our live's and choosing Him means choosing His kingdom over our own or the kingdom of this age. It's that last part that I think people overlook when teaching on the rich man and I hope that this study helps you to understand it well.

Yo before commenting actually watch the teaching.....
The thing He asked me to give up most recently was smoking weed. While I have never felt convicted that smoking was a sin, this message showed me that I had put weed on an equal if not more important footing with God. When I felt the conviction to quit, I gathered all my weed and stuff that went with it, and threw it away. I have not looked back. I have faith that because I have been obedient to His will in this matter, much fruit will be produced in me through Him. That is the first desire of my heart anymore. To produce righteous fruit in Him. Love you Mike thanks for another great message.
Coming with nothing. I can relate to that. It was when I was suicidal and at the bottom that I reached out to Jesus.
What a relief that we can't and don't have to earn our salvation. We wouldn't ever be able. Plus, knowing that no effort of mine could ever achieve perfection is a relief. Its comforting. Thank you Lord Jesus for your sacrifice for me 🙏🏾
Thanks Mike. Feeding a brother in portland oregon. Im using this series to prep myself for a bible study with my brother, who is on the fringe. Love the content. So wonderful to see someone committed and interested in Gods word. Encourages me to dig in.
Nothing is impossible for God!
I think one of my greatest problems is not confronting my coworkers about the bible and the gospel, just bc I want to avoid the arguments and the confrontation.
Choosing between God and food. Choosing God 100%. He’s much better. Still know I’m gonna struggle and fall. But He’s worth it.
This was such a great teaching. So many “ahhh”. Coming to Christ with nothing but fully being committed to Him. Amen. Thank you Mike!
When Jesus comes back and says why do you call me good, I think he’s teaching that we should see him as God and the savior not just as a teacher. What good is it if we learn from him but do not believe in him.
Great teaching.
Pastor Mike! I just saw American Gospel Christ Crucified. I totally was not expecting to see you and caught me off guard. What a pleasant surprise. 🤩 I throughly enjoyed the movie.
I've always looooved Apostle Paul but I don't really have a 100 reasons why. Now that you've touched on the fact that his weaknesses was coveting/lust (which I didn't know) gives me one more reason to love him. I'm thinking, from struggling with lust to completely being single! That's a powerful WOW!!! I know mostly love him because he freed me from ever feeling the pressure to have a husband and then family cz the stigma attached to single ladies here in South Africa is insane. But when one knows what the apostle Paul taught, one gets forever transformed mentally. I'm very grateful for that teaching in particular with reference to thee apostle Paul. Nothing has freed me more apart from Christ's salvation. God is awesome and I'm privileged to be a born again Christian. 😁
We all will have to leave our riches behind when and if we are still alive when the persecution comes. They will take everything from us as we will not be able to sell or buy. We must be ready to leave it all behind and follow Christ.
@mike winger just wanted to say thank you for continuing to do the Mark series for us, some people wouldn’t be willing to repeat a teaching twice in one week but it’s really appreciated that you are still doing the series for us online as well thank you 😊
Mike, thank you for this beautiful message; I’m incredibly encouraged by it! And thank you for the entire Mark series! I’ve been listening to each one in succession and cannot even begin to describe how blessed I’ve been by each one of these messages. May the Lord bless you greatly as you continue to use your gifts for His Kingdom!!
"The purpose of the law is to show you your sin" - That perfectly frames the context for this encounter and why He gave him the law up front. Excellent!
I always learn from your teaching. Thank you for dispelling the camel myth. I bought into that one hook, line, and sinker.
What we understand from this is that If one cannot leave his love for wealth and lust, he is not accepted to follow Jesus.
This is so good! The whole passage is against earning salvation! I needed this. WoF taught me the needle gate analogy as well as the idea that the disciples astonishment was because they expected believers to be wealthy.
