A wealthy young man walked up to Jesus and asked the ultimate question: "What must I do to get eternal life?" Jesus' answer left everyone stunned — including the disciples. It wasn't about keeping the rules. It was about who sits on the throne of your life. In this episode of the "Jesus the Mystery" series, Dave Scherrer unpacks Matthew 19:16-30 — the story of the rich young ruler. Jesus takes a passing conversation and turns it into an eternal life lesson about wealth, salvation, and the upside-down order of the Kingdom. The world says rich equals blessed. Jesus says the first will be last. And then He drops this: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." === CHAPTERS === 0:00 Introduction — The Mystery Continues 0:45 Jesus Turns Conversations Into Classrooms 1:30 The Rich Man's Question 3:00 "Only God Is Good" — What Jesus Really Meant 4:30 Sell Everything and Follow Me 6:00 Why This Is Still Hard Today 7:15 A Camel Through a Needle's Eye 8:30 With God All Things Are Possible 9:45 The First Will Be Last 10:30 Closing — Peace === CONNECT WITH US === Website: https://100foldministries.org Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://100foldministries.org/subscribe Email Dave: dave@100foldministries.org === SCRIPTURE REFERENCES === Matthew 19:16-30 — The Rich Young Ruler Matthew 19:26 — "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" === ABOUT THIS PODCAST === Kingdom Offerings is the podcast of 100 Fold Ministries, where Dave Scherrer unpacks the offerings of Scripture with a special emphasis on the Gospel of the Kingdom.
