Danger of a Divided Heart

A Bible Study on Priorities, Surrender, and Following Jesus

Scripture: Mark 10:17–27

What happens when the things we hold on to become the very things keeping us from following Jesus?

In Mark 10:17–27, a wealthy young man approaches Jesus with an important question about eternal life. Although he has lived a religious and morally upright life, Jesus reveals that something is standing between him and wholehearted devotion to God.

Danger of a Divided Heart explores the struggle between what we value and what Jesus calls us to surrender. Through this powerful encounter, we'll discover that following Christ is about more than outward obedience—it's about trusting Him with every part of our lives.
