The Rich Young Ruler: Law, Gospel, and Salvation

Join Chris, and Dan as they dive into the story of the Rich Young Ruler from Mark 10:17-27.

From cultural context to theological depth, the speakers unpack what this encounter reveals about self-righteousness, grace, and the free offer of the gospel.
