In this Sunday morning sermon, Pastor Joshua Sharp preaches the first part of a two part sermon out of the book of Mark. This sermon brings us to a problemed seeker of salvation. This man approaches Jesus and asks what he might do to be saved. When Jesus responds with what the man must do, he begins to realize that salvation is not attained through acts, but through faith in Jesus Christ.

This sermon focuses on the character of the man seeking salvation. He had many good qualities, but Jesus knew his heart, and knew the issue that was standing between him and God. As Christians, we should not shy away in those moments that God is dealing with our hearts and helping to point out the things in our lives that have come between us and our relationship with Him. In those moments, we should give those things to Him, so that we can continue to grow as Christians. If this man had given up his shallow ways, and done what Jesus had told him to, he would’ve been saved and rejoicing today.
