“As he was going out on the road, one came running up and asked, 'Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?' Jesus asks why he calls him good, quotes the commandments, and tells him to sell all, give to the poor, take up the cross and follow him.”
Pastor encourages believers to respond to God's Word with simple, childlike agreement — “OK” — and to act in faith: give, touch Jesus for healing, persevere, and be willing to surrender possessions or relationships for the sake of the Kingdom. The service includes worship, announcements, testimony on healing, teaching about faith, obedience, sacrifice, communion, and a time of ministry for strength.
“The rich young man recites the commandments and Jesus tells him, “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor… then come, follow me,” and the man went away sad because he had great wealth.”
A house-church sermon that asks whether your spiritual 'fire' is burning bright or burning out. The speaker uses the altar-fire image from Scripture to identify three kinds of spiritual heat—flash-flame (brief emotional zeal), flickering flame (wavering under pressure), and hearth flame (steady, sustained devotion)—and gives practical steps to keep the fire burning: remove distractions, add daily spiritual fuel, and fan the flame through habits like Bible study, prayer, service, sharing faith, and journaling. The service also emphasizes fellowship, communion, stewardship, and mission engagement.
“The rich young ruler asks how to inherit eternal life and Jesus ultimately tells him, “Follow me.””
A Bible study on Mark 10 that defines eternal life not as escaping to a disembodied heaven but as the future restoration of creation—heaven coming to earth—breaking into the present through Jesus' ministry. Eternal life includes abundance (provision) and human rulership (image-bearing), which is redefined as self-giving service; following Jesus invites participation in that restoration now.
“Mark 10 (the rich young ruler): 'Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' and Jesus replies, 'Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone,' then tells him to give up everything.”
A packed Inland Empire Sunday service featuring worship, communion reflections on Job, teaching from Matthew and Genesis, baptisms/testimonies, mission and leadership announcements, and a central sermon on 'wrestling with God' (Genesis 32) calling believers to honest, transformative prayer and wholehearted discipleship.
