Can rich people really get into Heaven? In this sermon, Jeff Piepho unpacks Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17–31—a man who thought he was good enough to earn eternal life but discovered he wasn’t as righteous as he believed.
Jesus’ shocking words about wealth aren’t just about money—they’re about the heart. This passage reveals how easily we trust in our own goodness, comfort, or possessions instead of relying fully on God’s mercy. Before we can receive grace, we must first admit our inability to follow God’s law perfectly.
Through this message, you’ll see why salvation is impossible through effort, why even the “best” people fall short, and how true hope comes only through Jesus. You’ll also learn how to guard your heart from pride, dependence on wealth, and misplaced confidence—and discover the freedom that comes from surrendering everything to God.
