In Mark 10:23 to 27, our Lord shocks his men by telling them how hard it is for a wealthy man to enter the Kingdom of God, and then tells them how hard it is for every person to become a Christ-follower. How hard? Jesus actually says it is impossible. Thankfully, God can do the impossible. This will be an astonishing look at our salvation, and an examination of what wealth can do to our hearts, and the ecstatic joy we have in being his children.

In Mark 10:17 to 22, Jesus meets up with the rich young ruler. We began to look at this encounter last week, but it is this Sunday where this meeting will rock your world. Our Lord will show us how to correctly share the Gospel, how to reach those who think they are saved but are not, show us the ingredients of the true Gospel, and so much more.

Get ready to be blown away as Jesus meets up with the rich young ruler. So much of our understanding of the Gospel is wrong today. So many of our evangelism practices are off-center. So many of us don’t realize the difference between a religionist and a true born again believer. But it will all become clear as we open up verses 17 to 22.

This amazing passage shows us how much Christ cares for children. His love for them is overwhelming. He passionately welcomes them with affection in spite of the busyness around Him, and in spite of the weight of the coming cross. Children are actually given to us as an example to follow. And more than that, children are given a special place in God’s Kingdom.

The disciples have some burning questions as a result of the Lord’s dealings with the Pharisees' trap over the divorce and remarriage question. They are blown away by God’s design for marriage, and by His disdain for divorce. We will see what God says about the consequences of unbiblical divorce and who can actually be remarried. Plus there are some powerful lessons for singles, marrieds and those who have experienced divorce in the past.

First, Jesus clearly demonstrates how the Pharisees misinterpreted the Old Testament teaching of Moses on divorce and remarriage. Second, the Lord powerfully demonstrates from Genesis 1 and 2 His original blueprint for marriage, an amazingly beautiful portrait of oneness, which divorce violates in every way.

The exposition of Mark 10:1-12 will cover marriage, divorce and remarriage as we examine God’s Word on this controversial yet very helpful issue--do not miss a single one. God will not only strengthen marriages, but impact singles and minister to those who’ve experienced a divorce up close.
