Not For Ourselves: One Thing You Lack
from Redeemer Brooklyn Hosted by Redeemer Brooklyn
03.15.2026 | In this week’s sermon by David Lee, we explore the profound encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler found in the Gospel of Mark. This message challenges the cultural promise that achieving worldly success and security will lead to ultimate fulfillment. Key Points: The reality of inner emptiness persists even when external circumstances and moral life appear perfect. True Christianity is not a supplemental addition to a well-ordered life, but a radical transformation that requires total surrender to Jesus. Jesus identifies the central idols in our lives—the things we trust for significance—and calls us to let go of them to receive his grace. Understanding Jesus as the ultimate "rich" figure who gave up everything for us empowers us to surrender our own lives to him. Common Questions Answered: What must I do to inherit eternal life? Why do I still feel empty even when I have everything I wanted? Is following Jesus just about adding religious habits to my daily routine? How can I find true purpose and meaning in my life?
