The Test of Faith: Can You Handle Prosperity? Rich Young Ruler pt.3

Can money destroy your faith? In this exposition of Mark 10:17–27, we’ll hear Jesus deliver some of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture—warnings that directly confront wealth, greed, pride, and eternal destiny in surprising ways. In Part 3 of the Rich Young Ruler, Jesus explains why money is not neutral, why wealth increases spiritual pride, and why riches can quietly pull a heart away from God. This passage is not about a rare outlier—it is a warning meant for us. By the standards of Scripture and human history, we are rich, and that makes Jesus’ words especially urgent. Greed is one of the most devastating sins in the Bible—and yet one of the least confessed. Scripture equates it with idolatry and places it alongside the most serious spiritual dangers. Jesus repeatedly connects our relationship with money to our relationship with Him, making clear that no one can serve two masters. This sermon explores: • Why greed is spiritually deadly but socially invisible • How wealth fuels pride and self-sufficiency • Why money is an obstacle—not an advantage—to entering the kingdom • What Jesus meant by “sell everything” • How generosity functions as a test of the heart • How gratitude acts as a vaccine against forgetting God • Why prosperity is harder to handle than suffering • How money competes directly with Christ for your trust Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler forces a question every believer must face: Is Christ our treasure—or is He competing with something else?
