Part 6-7 Greed: The Rich Young Ruler's Dilemma

Matthew 19:16–25

Ps Laurence Lee

Greed hides in the heart—even behind good intentions. In this message, we explore the story of the rich young ruler who sought eternal life but walked away sorrowful when challenged to surrender his riches. This sermon uncovers how greed can blind us to true treasure. Learn how Jesus exposes the grip of materialism and invites us to wholehearted devotion, trust, and joy in following Him.

About this series

A sin is not just a mistake - it is destructive and leads to death. 

Throughout history, Christians have recognised the seriousness of sin and sought to categorise its most dangerous forms. The most well-known of these is The Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. While this list is not explicitly found in the Bible, it serves as a helpful tool to recognise sin in our lives.

In this series, we will explore each of the seven through biblical narratives - examining how they manifest, their consequences and ways to overcome them.

I. Lust: Joseph's seduction
II. Pride: Nebuchadnezzar's humbling
III. Wrath: Esau's fury
IV. Gluttony: Adam's temptation
V. Sloth: The Sluggard
VI. Greed: The rich young ruler's dilemma
VII. Envy: Ahab's obsession

Sin leads to death, but there is hope. Jesus offers us life! Through Him, we can overcome temptation and walk in victory, because He has already conquered sin and death!
