Creflo DollarHOST
And, uh, I think you're gonna see this very, very clearly.
Creflo DollarHOST
So the first person I wanna look at, uh, let's look at the rich young ruler.
Creflo DollarHOST
The rich young ruler.
Creflo DollarHOST
Uh, because we saw him, uh, convenience over, over embodied trust, or actually trusting that, uh, Jesus would, would be there to, to do what, you know, he thought only money could do.
Creflo DollarHOST
All right, so let's look at this scripture in Mark 10:17-22, the rich young ruler, how he chose convenience.
Creflo DollarHOST
Um, verse 17 he says, "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" He said-- "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, and that is God." See, God is good, right? All right, verse 19.
Creflo DollarHOST
"Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and thy mother." And this, this guy, he said, "And he answered and he said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth." Now, Jesus is getting ready to show him something just a little bit different.
Creflo DollarHOST
The man's identity and being willing to be secure in what Jesus can provide.
Francis HarryHOST
The general theme of this talk is the nature and character of our Carmelite vocation.
Francis HarryHOST
Deacon Baldwin uses the example of the rich young man in the Gospels, can be found in Mark chapter ten or Matthew chapter nineteen or Luke chapter eighteen, to examine our journey in Carmel through our formation and the temporary and definitive promises we make.
Francis HarryHOST
There are three core lessons in this Gospel story.
Francis HarryHOST
The first one is on detachment, which reminds a Carmelite about the teaching of St. John of the Cross on nada.
Francis HarryHOST
Deacon Baldwin uses this Gospel passage to illuminate how our journey in Carmel is developed in growing in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, and the corresponding evangelical counsels of obedience, poverty, and chastity.
Francis HarryHOST
He goes on to touch on the Beatitudes as well.
Francis HarryHOST
As a further reference, I suggest going to the masterpiece of St. Teresa of Avila in The Interior Castle and reading what she wrote about this rich young man in the third dwelling place or the third mansion.
Francis HarryHOST
She basically says he represents the well-regulated soul and warns how a soul at this stage may be too reasonable or calculated in their love for God.
Carl CrockerGUEST
Here's where I wanna get honest with you this morning.
Carl CrockerGUEST
I was at a conference [clears throat] a few weeks back, and this, this wasn't taught on, but this is the passage the Lord gave me, and I wanna touch on it, the rich young ruler.
Carl CrockerGUEST
It was a strange one for the Lord to give me, and He, He gave it to me to reflect on my own life.
Carl CrockerGUEST
Mark chapter 10.
Carl CrockerGUEST
"But he was sad at this word and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." Well, why is it a sad verse? Because he couldn't give up what truly mattered in his heart.
Carl CrockerGUEST
Yeah.
Carl CrockerGUEST
And I'm still battling, as it turns out, after conference a few weeks ago, with some of these things in my own life that make me more like the rich young ruler than I would like to admit.
Carl CrockerGUEST
I found myself sobbing at the end of a meeting, thinking to myself, "I'm doing pretty well.
Jesse DuplantisHOST
A very, very familiar, familiar story that is here.
Jesse DuplantisHOST
And it's about the rich young ruler.
Jesse DuplantisHOST
And at the close of this service, we're going to receive our tithe and offering.
Jesse DuplantisHOST
I want you to make you aware of that.
Chris FrankeHOST
I am the senior pastor here.
Chris FrankeHOST
And we're going to pick right up with the rich young ruler.
Chris FrankeHOST
Last week we started in on Matthew 19.
Chris FrankeHOST
We concluded in verse 20 with the first half of the rich young ruler.
Chris FrankeHOST
We saw the irony of him coming to Jesus and in a day and age where there was two schools of thought.
Chris FrankeHOST
In Judaism, there was the house of Hillel and the house of Shammai.
Chris FrankeHOST
They taught very differently in the interpretation of the Torah at that time.
Chris FrankeHOST
One was ironically more conservative, one was more progressive in how they applied those things.
ChristineHOST
There's one story that has always made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
ChristineHOST
It's the story when a young man that we know as the rich young ruler comes and asks Jesus, what more do I need to do to get eternal life? See, this young man knew that there was something missing in his life and he came to Jesus to ask for answers.
ChristineHOST
As the conversation goes on, we learn that this guy is a really good guy.
ChristineHOST
He loves God and he's doing everything he can to serve God well, to follow the law and to do the right thing.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
Amen.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
Today we heard Jesus talking to the rich young ruler.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
The rich young ruler came to see Jesus and asked him a question.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
He said, what more must I do to be saved? And we might ask that question.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
We might ask that question ourselves.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
But sometimes we feel there's something missing.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
There must be something more.
Daniel McInnesGUEST
And this rich young ruler apparently felt that way because he came to see Jesus.
Tullian TchividjianHOST
He was talking about examining things on the inside.
Tullian TchividjianHOST
This guy, this rich young ruler, lacked self-awareness.
Tullian TchividjianHOST
I mean, this guy thought he had kept all the Ten Commandments from the time he was young.
Tullian TchividjianHOST
He had no idea that he hadn't, and he had no ability to see the chains that wrapped around him.
SimeonHOST
I think that very well summarises, doesn't it, what has taken place in this passage of Scripture.
SimeonHOST
And hopefully you are familiar with this account in the Word of God where the rich young ruler comes to the Lord Jesus Christ.
SimeonHOST
He is a sincere seeker after the Lord Jesus Christ.
SimeonHOST
But the Lord Jesus Christ begins to deal with this man and to work down to the heart issue that is ultimately preventing him from true salvation.

SimeonHOST
When God gives out the rewards, he will do so according to his eternal and perfect wisdom.
SimeonHOST
And many that may seem to be first to us may actually be last and the last first.
SimeonHOST
And so we have this account of the rich young ruler and the lessons that we can learn from it.
SimeonHOST
But as we close this morning, what one thing stands between you and Christ? Are you saved? Do you know him as your saviour? What's holding you back from the Lord? And then as believers, are we living for now or for eternity? Maybe you've been deceived by the deceitfulness of riches and you need a priority adjustment today.
Joshua SelmanHOST
The Bible talks about a gentleman who came to Jesus, and when he was gone forth, the Bible says there came one running.
Joshua SelmanHOST
And when you read your Bible, the Bible calls that gentle man a rich young ruler.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Everybody say after me: Rich- Rich.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Young- Young.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Ruler.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Hmm.
Joshua SelmanHOST
So a gentleman who is simply identified as a rich young ruler.
Joshua SelmanHOST
