Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Isaiah 55:1-5 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

Scripture: Mark 10:40-41 Jesus did not say ‘no’ to James and John when they tried to gain advantage, He asked if they were willing to pay the price! They answered ‘yes’ and Jesus said, ‘you will’. “And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.” Here is where

Scripture: Mark 10:35-39 Jesus chose real people, dysfunctional people to walk with. In this passage James and John were apparently trying to build their own Kingdoms and to advance beyond Peter.
