In this message from the “Generosity” series at Leesburg Christian Church, Jon Welch explores Jesus’ encounter with the rich young man in Mark 10:17–31 and Luke 12:15–21, examining what often keeps people from truly following Christ—rival loyalties like wealth, comfort, or reputation. The sermon looks at the difference between moral respectability and wholehearted allegiance to Jesus, unpacks why salvation cannot be earned but is received by God’s grace, and discusses practical steps for confessing what holds us back and taking small acts of surrender. This teaching addresses discipleship, idolatry, grace, and what it means to be “rich toward God.”
