Jesus Encounters â The Rich Young Ruler
Mark 10: 17-23 (NIV)
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. âGood teacher,â he asked, âwhat must I do to inherit eternal life?â 18 âWhy do you call me good?â Jesus answered. âNo one is goodâexcept God alone. 19 You know the commandments: âYou shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.â 20 âTeacher,â he declared, âall these I have kept since I was a boy.â 21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. âOne thing you lack,â he said. âGo, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.â 22 At this the manâs face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, âHow hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!â

What defines your SUCCESS?
Psalm 128:1-6 (NIV)
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. 2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4 Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord. 5 May the Lord bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 6 May you live to see your childrenâs childrenâ peace be on Israel.
