Lesson 2  Sunday, March 8, 2026

SIMPLE FAITH

BIBLE BASIS: MARK 10:17-31

BIBLE TRUTH: Jesus showed that faith in God makes it possible for people to sacrifice their all for the benefit of others.

MEMORY VERSE: “The Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me" (Mark 9:29).

LESSON AIM: By the end of the lesson we will: KNOW the facts of the rich young man's encounter with Jesus: CELEBRATE the direct link between making sacrifices and receiving God's salvation; and COMMIT to making greater sacrifices for others in the name of Jesus Christ.

BACKGROUND SCRIPTURES: Mark 10:17-31; Galatians 5:1-13- Read and incorporate the insights gained from the Background Scriptures into your study of the lesson.
