Why It’s Hard for Jesus to Save Rich People

Pastor Sam Rainer preaches through every verse of Matthew’s gospel. This sermon covers Matthew 19:16-30 and why it’s hard for Jesus to save rich people. The text is about the rich, young ruler and why he struggled to come to faith in Christ. Who is rich? What makes a person rich? You can’t buy your way into heaven. You can’t work your way into heaven. Salvation never comes on human terms, but salvation is available to everyone on God’s terms.
