Difficulty Entering the Kingdom

Bible Text: Mark 10:13-31 |

Series:

Jesus preached, "Repent and believe the gospel!" But what does that mean? What does it look like practically?

When a rich young man approached Jesus, Jesus calls him to repentance. What that looked like for this young man shocked the disciples and should shock us today.



Mark

The gospel of Mark tells us of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Under the inspiration of the Spirit, Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the suffering Servant sent to save his people. Mark stresses the authority of Jesus, his great sacrifice, and what it means to be his disciple. This book was given to make and encourage disciples of Jesus, and this sermon series seeks to do the same by proclaiming Mark's message for today's generation.
