Today we continue our series on the subject of Bible-based evangelism as we turn to the Gospel of Luke, chapter eighteen. We are going to see how the Lord Jesus Christ, the Master Evangelist, deals with the rich young ruler.
We find that the rich young ruler is typical of many people today - both people outside the church, and many church-goers as well. He thinks he understands who Jesus is, but he finds out that Jesus is Someone very different. He thinks he understands his own heart - he thinks he is a good, moral person - until Jesus shows him the true condition of his heart.
And so we invite you to open your Bible to Luke chapter eighteen. Let's see how the Lord Jesus, the Master Evangelist, gets to the very center of this young man's spiritual need.

Our place of citizenship as believers, and the constitution of our government, is in Heaven and not on this earth.
What is the key question that every person who claims to be a believer in Christ must ask himself constantly?
Spiritually speaking, Christians have been moved from one "country" to another. We have been separated from this present evil world, separated unto God. But God has not driven us into another land as conquered enemies. He has rescued us in love "from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son."
We live in a time when much of the Evangelical church seems to be concerned, above all, about the opinions of the unsaved.
How does this compare with the early history of the church as we find it in the book of Acts? Was the thinking and living of the early church earth-bound, or was it Heaven-bound? What challenges did God place before the early church to guide it and to test it? Is the church passing the test today?
Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our study of these crucial questions.

In Colossians chapter three, God through the Apostle Paul exhorts us to "seek those things which are above, where Christ is." "Set your mind on things above," he says, "not on things on the earth." How are we to do that? What are to be the keynotes of the preeminence of Christ in the life of the believer? And, is it possible for a believer to be so heavenly-minded that the believer is no earthly good? Stay tuned for the answers to these questions, as we continue our series titled Christ Preeminent in You from the book of Colossians.
How is it that wretched sinners can become "holy, and blameless, and above reproach" in the sight of God?
The Bible tells us that there are many wrong ways, but only one right way, to confront counterfeit revelation in the church. Why is one way right, and what makes the others wrong? Why are many of today's approaches to Christian apologetics seriously flawed? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our series in Colossians 2 titled "Truth Above All."
How should a Bible-believing Christian witness to a Mormon? How should you deal with Mormon missionaries who come to your door, or Mormons you encounter in your workplace, school, or neighborhood? Stay tuned for the answer in the final message of our series, "Christianity vs. Mormonism."
Scripture tells us that counterfeit worship never stands alone. Failure to obey God in the doctrine of worship is, very often, a key indicator of deeper and wider spiritual problems in a church. What are some of those problems? How can Christians recognize and avoid such traps? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our study of God's warning against worldly worship, in Colossians chapter two.
