32-"One Thing Money Can't Buy"

Aug 3, 2025    Pastor Christopher Thompson

In this sermon on Mark 10:13–22, Pastor Chris explores two striking Kingdom moments:


First, Jesus rebukes His disciples for turning away children—instead of treating them as second-class citizens, He compares them to worthy heirs of the Kingdom. He emphatically declares, “whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”


Then, Jesus meets a wealthy young ruler who approaches Him in genuine faith—but can’t surrender his riches. Jesus answers plainly: true treasure is found not in wealth, but in obedience and total surrender.


Join us as we wrestle with:

- How cultural assumptions blinded the disciples to the true value of children

- Why spiritual greatness in the Kingdom looks like humility and childlike dependence

- What Jesus really requires when He says, “Sell all…and follow Me.”


Are you ready to place Jesus above your idols?
