Pastor Gary Combs concludes the “Simplify Life” series with this message from Matthew 20:25-28 where Jesus teaches the new and radical economy in the Kingdom of Heaven, where the first shall be last and the last shall be first. What is this new economy? Serving and giving. That’s what makes life really matter, living a life of contribution.

This world’s appraisal of greatness is based on outward things- good looks, possessions, and money. But the Kingdom will judge greatness by inner things. The Kingdom will turn us inside out and upside down. We may be in for a surprise as to who is first.

There is a weed that looks similar to wheat until maturity when it bears no fruit. Some will question whether the seed was good. Others will want to pull up the weeds. But the purity of the church is the Lord’s job. Ours is to grow and bear fruit.

October 10, 2010 | Matthew 19:16-26
Pastor Gary Combs begins a new sermon series entitled: “PERFECT.” This message is taken from the story of the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-26. Here, Jesus told the young man that if he wanted to be “perfect,” he would have to sell everything and follow Him. After hearing this the disciples worried that no one could be saved. But Jesus taught them that God made it possible. Jesus is the only way to please a perfect and holy God.
