Gospel Fluency: Good News, Bad News

Missio Church - Bismarck

Verses Used:

• Mark 10:17-31

Takeaways:

• The goal of gospel fluency is that we would give everyone around us an opportunity to experience Jesus through us.
• Jesus was the most gospel fluent person to ever live. Good news flowed from him.

Right to the Heart

• Jesus is in essence saying, your money has your heart. Will you give me your heart? (money, future, goals, and dreams).
• Our actions/decisions/lives are an overflow of our hearts and display what we love most.
• Jesus is not interested in sharing your heart with others. He is exclusive.
• Sometimes it feels painful to let Jesus expose our hearts.
• The reason we sometimes resist Jesus is because we buy into lies.

Lies We Believe

• God isn’t against people having things, he is against things having his people.
• Jesus did talk about the difficulty of those who are wealthy to find the kingdom.
• Our hearts run after other things because we believe it will make us happy. This is what happens to our hearts when we believe lies.

The Gospel of Grace

• What is impossible for man – our salvation, is possible for God.
• Gaining eternal life on our own is impossible, but through Jesus it is possible. Surrender to Jesus is the pathway to life, not keeping the law.

Discussion Questions:

• What do you think the young man in the story was hoping to hear from Jesus? What did he get?
• What lies have you believed would make you happy in this life?
• How did Jesus address unbelief in the rich young ruler?
• How did Jesus speak the good news of the gospel to his disciples?
