About This Message
Preaching from the account of the rich young ruler in Luke 18, Pastor Jonah Smith identifies two reasons people fail to answer God's call to salvation and growth. Some never recognize the call is for them because they trust their own goodness, like the ruler who claimed to have kept every commandment; others recognize it but find obeying too costly to what they already hold onto.
Key Takeaways
- The rich young ruler trusted his own goodness instead of seeing his need.
- Many miss God's call because they believe they are already good enough.
- Jesus asked him to give up what he trusted more than God.
