On this special Gospel Sunday at FBC Glen Este, Pastor Snook digs deep into the profound story of the rich young ruler from Mark 10:17-22, a Bible story that challenges us to examine our own hearts and priorities. This encounter between Jesus and a wealthy seeker of eternal life illuminates the core of what it means to truly follow Christ.
We're reminded that outward morality and material success, while admirable, aren't enough to inherit the Kingdom of God. The young man's inability to let go of his possessions serves as a mirror for our own attachments that may be hindering our spiritual growth.
Are we, like him, holding onto something that's keeping us from fully embracing Jesus? This narrative compels us to consider what we value most and whether we're willing to surrender it all for the incomparable treasure of knowing Christ. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: What is our 'one thing' that Jesus is asking us to give up? Pastor's sermon challenges us to move beyond mere religious observance to a transformative relationship with God, one that requires complete trust and surrender.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
