Matthew 19:23-26

Listen to Matthew 19:23-26
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

How to Get Eternal Life Part 3c - Things That Stand in the Way
How to Get Eternal Life Part 3c - Things That Stand in the Way
Pastor Mike Fabarez

The Gospel is clearly portrayed for us in the Scriptures, but in our day this message is not being conveyed. Some are distorting the message, or taking away from it, and some attempt to add to it. Today on Focal Point we’re pleased to uphold and proclaim the biblical Gospel message, as part of our “How to Get Eternal Life” series. Pastor Mike Fabarez is having us consider the story of the Rich Young Ruler.

Pastor Mike Fabarez

Think for a moment of the scores of people that will arrive on Judgment Day before the Lord, thinking they have eternal life, but are stunned by the news that they really don’t. Could it get any worse than that? Sadly that will be the case for a large number of people, but we want to make sure we don’t fall into that camp! There just may be some things or people standing in the way between you and eternal life as we’ll soon see. Let's set out to identify those idols.

How to Get Eternal Life Part 3a - Things That Stand in the Way
Pastor Mike Fabarez

Imagine someone coming up to you saying, “Sell all you have, give it to the poor, and then come and follow me!” You’d either say yes, and go all in, or you’d walk away from the deal! That’s exactly what Jesus said to the Rich Young Ruler. He went away sad. Now each of us faces this crossroad: Are we going to do what Jesus says, or what we want?? Today on Focal Point Pastor Mike Fabarez encourages us to count the costs of being a Christian. As we launch part three of the series, Mike addresses a number of things that stand in the way of getting eternal life.
