How Good Do I Have to Be to Go to Heaven?
Feb 22, 2026 • Jason Pennington
Last week we began our new sermon series, “What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?”—inspired by the question a rich young ruler asked Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 19:16.
This Sunday, the series continues with a powerful and personal message:
“How Good Do I Have to Be to Go to Heaven?” (Matthew 19:16–22)
In this timeless passage, a rich young ruler comes to Jesus genuinely seeking eternal life—and he asks the right Person. However, Jesus’ response reveals far more than the man expected. What does it reveal about his heart? What does it uncover about our own? And what does it teach us about eternal life?
Join us as we dive deeper into this life-changing exchange from God’s Word.
We’d love to see you in person this Sunday!
