The Rich Young Ruler

16 1And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain 2eternal life?"
17 And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but 3if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

How to Get Eternal Life Part 1c - Rethinking God
How to Get Eternal Life Part 1c - Rethinking God
Pastor Mike Fabarez

Many in our world carry with them through life a me-centered mentality. It’s easy for us to think the world revolves around us. Now take that into the spiritual realm, and all too many think the point of salvation is us as well. In reality God, is the center of the Gospel. Pastor Mike Fabarez will draw that out from Matthew nineteen today on Focal Point. And in the passage before us Jesus spends some time talking about eternal life with a rich young ruler. It’s important to notice that Jesus has this young man ponder God’s perfection to start off with. That’s the place for us to start as well.

How to Get Eternal Life Part 1b - Rethinking God
Pastor Mike Fabarez

How do we get to heaven? Ask the average Joe on the street and they’re likely to say there are a lot of ways to get there. Currently on Focal Point we’re turning to the only opinion that really matters - and that’s God’s! In Matthew nineteen Jesus had a conversation with a rich young ruler, and this very question came up. It’s interesting that Jesus starts His reply by having the young man rethink God. And perhaps that’s exactly what you need to do?

How to Get Eternal Life Part 1a - Rethinking God
Pastor Mike Fabarez

Young, wealthy, a leader, sharp and smart... some would say he had it all. But he lacked the greatest thing of all. Sadly his story didn’t end well. We’ll take a look at the Rich Young Ruler’s conversation with Jesus today on Focal Point as we introduce a new series. How do I get eternal life? It’s a question we’ve got to come to grips with. For the next few weeks we’ll embark on a quest to answer that question from the Scriptures.
