What is our greatest need?

This past Sunday night I preached from Mark 10:46-52 "This One Thing." Jesus asked Bartimaeus a question in response to his persistent cries "What do you want Me to do for you?" If Jesus was to ask us that question, what would be our response? What is our greatest need?

At the close I gave these seven principles in determining what is "the one thing" we would want from God.

How do you know what is your desperate need?

1. This need is known by you as a deep, desperate need.
2. The need is persistent over time.
3. The need is determined by whom can answer the need. Who do you go to?
4. The need causes you to cry out.
5. The need is such a magnitude that other people can’t stop you from pursuing it.
6. The meeting of the need produces a willingness to give up something for it.
7. The need causes you to respond quickly when there is the right opportunity for the need to be met.
