What if the thing you're most proud of is the exact thing standing between you and real life?

A successful, "good" young man comes to Jesus with a resume most of us would envy — wealthy, respected, morally upright. He's kept every commandment. He's checked every box. So why does he walk away from Jesus sad?

Pastor Aaron McRae walks through Matthew 19:16-26, where Jesus meets a man who wanted eternal life to be one more thing he could earn — and exposes what was actually running his life the whole time. It's not really a story about money. It's a story about identity, control, and what we quietly trust to make us whole.

This week, we're asking: what are you holding onto that you'd say no to Jesus over? And what does it actually look like to follow him instead of just admiring him?

In this message:
-Why "good behavior" was never the point
-What Jesus meant by "impossible with man, possible with God"
-The difference between admiring Jesus and following him
-What it costs — and what it's worth

📖 Matthew 19:16-26
