Jesus Fails Evangelism? (4 of 4)
Series: Luke’s Gospel

Luke 18:18-30
We finish up a short summer series in Luke. Today we study one of the most famous conversations in history and certainly one of the more notable in Jesus' life - the famous story of the Rich Young Ruler. This is one of the few stories repeated in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
