The Rich Man and Lazarus - Luke 16:19-31
Sermon June 15 - The Rich Man and Lazarus: Luke 16:19-31 by Sunnybrook Christian Church
This week's parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16) is uncomfortable! A harsh condemnation, complete with angels, hellfire and "a great gulf fixed" between the two. Are the wealthy really doomed to a fate of torment? Should I be worried about my own selfish tendencies? Another disorienting week of Lent 2025... join us in the underworld, if you dare!
This week we read Luke 16:19-31, the story of the rich man and Lazarus. What a rich and evocative story about wealth, and suffering, and isolation – about excess and need and compassion. What blocks the flow of compassion in the different scenarios of this story, and in our own world – when is it a chasm, and when is it just a gate? What is the difference between having been told something, and knowing it – and how do we cross THAT chasm? What happens when we build a life that insulates us from all suffering – our own, and that of others?

It is a quality of life, derived from a relationship with God. Having eternal life is being in relationship with the Father, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom the Father sent. Romans 10:9-10 Jesus Speaks on Eternal Life - John 10:27-30 Wealth/Possession/Money Matthew 6:19-21 Luke 12:32-34 Matthew 6:24 Luke 16:13 Jesus Message about wealth/money (1) * Invest your wealth/money/possession, don't just spend it, don't worship it, * Send your wealth/money to heaven by giving more while on earth * ‘Parable' or account of the shrewd manager Luke 16 * Sandwich -Jesus identified lovers of money –the most religious people in the first century * ‘Parable' or account of the rich man and Lazarus Luke 16 * Wealth/money is a good tool and a terrible master * Don't make acquiring wealth your pursuit * Don't spend your time and life chasing it Impossibilities Luke 1:34-37 Matthew 19: 26 Mark 10:27 Luke 18:27 Jesus' life was filled with miracles and doing the impossible for ordinary people Expect Jesus' intervention in your life and impossible circumstances Don't limit God to your experience or that of others Get to know Jesus better Make listening to Jesus' words a daily routine We have 4 Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, John for a reason How about a personal project to listen to one gospel a week or a month In a year you would have gone through the 4 gospels 12 times or 3 times and will be more familiar with Jesus Christ –his words, acts Jesus Answers The Rich Young Ruler & His Disciples' Questions Mark 10:17-27; Luke 18:18-29; Matthew 19:18-Matthew 20:1-15 Rich Young Ruler Ran and knelt before Jesus and asked Good Teacher, what good thing must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone If you would enter life, keep the commandments Jesus Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and murder, Do not defraud, Love your neighbour as yourself Rich Young Ruler All these I have kept, What do I still lack? Jesus One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven and come and follow me Rich Young Ruler's Reaction Became very sad, for he was extremely rich Went away sorrowful for he had great possession Jesus How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God Jesus Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of heaven! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God Jesus With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God. Luke 10:26-37
The Parable of the Unjust Steward is one of Jesus' most enigmatic messages. In Jesus' other parables there are usually virtuous characters depicting righteous qualities for us to learn from. For example, in the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7), we have the good shepherd going after the poor sheep that was lost. In the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32), we has the good father representing God receiving back his lost son representing a repentant sinner. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) we have righteous Abraham comforting the poor man Lazarus after his death. However, in the parable of the unjust steward, we have a story filled with unscrupulous characters, yet somehow Jesus still has a profound message for us in it.How can Jesus take the actions of a shrewd conniving scoundrel and turn them into a message that challenges His disciples to greater depths of service and devotion? Through this parable, Jesus demonstrates Himself as The Master Teacher. He shows us how the interests of unrighteous persons in the world can mirror the qualities He's looking for in His followers. He reveals how the way the world sees and uses money can be a lesson to us regarding how we should be managing our resources. Beyond this, He shows us how the investments we're making now will have eternal ramifications.Listen as we consider what it means to invest shrewdly in the Kingdom of God.

GAL RICH MAN and LAZARUS Luke 16:19-31 "You only live once", is a phrase that encourages people to: Make the most of their lives, Embrace new experiences, And take risks. It suggests that life is short and finite, so it's important to live fully, be adventurous, and not let opportunities pass by. Some interpret "You only live once" as a call to act impulsively or indulge in pleasures without considering long-term consequences, while others see it as a reminder to live with purpose, mindfulness, and intention. The phrase invites reflection on how we prioritize our time, decisions, and relationships, knowing that we only have one life to live. Hebrews 9:27 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

Join us as we unravel the profound teachings of Jesus and explore their relevance to our lives today.Episode Notes:Introduction:We live in a world filled with warning labels, from cigarette packs to take-away cups. Yet, amidst the abundance of cautionary messages, there's one warning that often goes unheeded—the perils of loving money.Setting the Stage:Jesus' teachings on money are met with ridicule by the Pharisees, who harbour a deep affection for wealth. The Pharisees' response underscores the prevalent attitude of equating material prosperity with divine favour.Unpacking the Passage:The Rebuke of the Pharisees (Luke 16:14-15):The Pharisees' love for money leads them to sneer at Jesus' teachings.Jesus confronts their misguided values, emphasizing that what humans value highly is detestable in God's sight.The Fulfilment of the Law (Luke 16:16-17):Jesus highlights the transition from the era of the law and the prophets to the proclamation of the Kingdom of God. He underscores the enduring validity of the law, but its fulfilment is found in Him, challenging the Pharisees' superficial understanding of scripture.The Warning Against Divorce (Luke 16:18):Jesus addresses the Pharisees' lax attitude towards divorce, exposing their misinterpretation of scripture. His assertion on divorce underscores the importance of honouring the sanctity of marriage and the profound impact of scriptural interpretation on societal norms.Understanding the Context:Jesus' strict stance on divorce reflects the prevailing attitudes and practices of his time, aimed at restoring the sanctity of marriage and family life. While his words may seem absolute, other passages offer nuanced considerations, emphasizing the complexities of marital relationships.Conclusion:Jesus' teachings on money and wealth challenge us to examine our priorities and values, recognizing the dangers of loving money above God.As stewards of God's resources, we are called to use wealth wisely and compassionately, prioritizing spiritual truths over material gain.Join us as we delve deeper into the profound warnings issued by Jesus, navigating the complexities of money, marriage, and eternal destinies in a world dominated by materialism.Thank you for tuning in to "A Warning to Lovers of Money - Part One" Podcast.

Living the way God wants us to, does not mean we must live in poverty. But it does mean we should be willing to use our wealth to honor Him and help others. We must never let money become a god that we serve Show Notes: Episode257 Subscribe: My DailyBriefing
This episode dives into MEDITATIVE prayer, which takes a little more focus, discipline, and time than vocal prayer. Meditative prayer is beautiful for growing our virtues of patience and helping us develop more intimacy with Jesus! You can meditate on all kinds of things, including: scripture, prayers, pictures, nature, or even just a word. By training our bodies to slow down and focus, we can go much deeper into a portion of the Bible or into a truth that God wants to reveal to us. Since we are physical people, don't skimp on preparing your body to meditate. Remove all distractions, get comfortable, and take some slow breaths before trying to dive into meditation. And remember that we are seeking a deep relationship with Jesus, not just the good feelings that may come from prayer. Feelings come and feelings go, and we'll talk about that more in a couple of episodes! Some resources to look into for meditation are: The Rosary Lectio Divina Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales Ignatian Audio Meditations Try to take some time this week to meditate! I recommend taking a gospel story that you know well. Read the story a few times and try to picture the elements involved. Then, after asking the Holy Spirit to help you, try to "dive into" the story. Either picturing yourself as a character or "watching" it as a movie. Take the story SLOWLY and linger on any elements that stand out to you. Afterwards, journal about anything that stood out to you or surprised you from your meditation. Some ideas are: Luke 5:1-11 - Jesus calling Peter John 11 - Jesus raising Lazarus Luke 8:43-48 - The Hemorrhaging Woman Mark 4:35-41 - Jesus calms the storm

The Rich Man and Lazarus - Luke 16:(14-15) 19-31
I often hear people say, “I never hear sermons about heaven and hell and what happens when you die.” Okay, let's do it. Beginning this Sunday, we'll start a nine week series asking and answering common questions... Are heaven and hell real places, and if so, what are they? How can you reconcile hell with a loving God? Will we be rewarded in heaven? Will we have "heavenly” bodies, and if so, how exactly does that work? What does Jesus have to say about these things? We'll start with a parable from Jesus about a rich man who is unnamed and a poor man who is named Lazarus. On this side of eternity, the rich man has it all while poor Lazarus struggles to survive. However, upon death, there is a remarkable reversal of circumstances that cannot be undone. There is a sobering realization that decisions made before death remain after death. The main decision is this - what do I believe about Jesus?
