Matthew 19:16 - 19:22

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this message by Steve Gregg, he delves into the story of the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-22. Jesus challenges the man's view that riches are evidence of godliness, and emphasizes the importance of being focused on eternal matters rather than temporary gain. The man's lack of willingness to give up his possessions and follow Christ ultimately leads him to walk away in sorrow. This story serves as a reminder to prioritize our commitment to God over worldly possessions.
