Join Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson for Sermon Brainwave as they dive deep into the lectionary readings for the 16th Sunday After Pentecost (September 28, 2025). In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts explore the parable of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19-31, examining themes of wealth, justice, and what it truly takes for someone to repent. They discuss how this challenging parable connects to broader themes in Luke's Gospel, from the Sermon on the Plain to stories of transformation like Zacchaeus. The conversation also covers the prophetic voices of Amos 6:1a-4,7 and the surprising hope found in Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15, where the prophet makes a remarkable act of faith by purchasing land while Jerusalem is under siege. The hosts conclude with reflections on Psalm 146 and 1 Timothy 6:6-19, exploring the early church's ongoing struggles with wealth and Christian living.

In only one parable does Jesus name his characters. Luke 16:19–31 introduces us to Abraham and Lazarus. Lazarus means "one whom God helps." We meet this poor man outside a rich man's gate, helpless in this life and neglected by the well-clothed and well-fed rich man. But differences in this life don't carry through to the next. In fact, the afterlife brings a great reversal for both men. We learn that heaven or hell awaits every person. For Lazarus, his story lives up to his name. What are these places like? Crucially, what makes the difference for what side of the great chasm we end up on in eternity? In this passage we move from a gate to a great chasm to an ancient book.
Welcome to Wellspring Church!What has captured your heart? In this message, Pastor Katie Gayle unpacks the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), inviting us to examine what we value most—and how those values shape our eternity.Through the lens of a road trip with her son and a surprisingly average candy bar, Pastor Katie highlights how the world makes bold promises that ultimately leave us disappointed. Jesus offers something far better: the riches of His Kingdom, which cannot be earned, bought, or faked.

The Rich Man and Lazarus
Join us as we continue in our series called "Parables in Luke". This weeks message from Tom Chamberlin is titled “The Rich Man and Lazarus" - Luke 16:19-31. Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where we journey through the Bible's profound teachings. In this episode, Jesus explains in Luke 16, the compelling narrative of the rich man and Lazarus. This remastered message recounts the story which reveals a stark contrast between eternal life and eternal death (separated from God). We see the comfort and torment, highlighting the eternal consequences of earthly actions in either accepting Christ as Savior or rejecting Him. As we navigate through these Biblical insights, we are reminded of the sufficiency and power of the Word of God in our lives and the profound importance of living a life aligned with God's simple and divine truths. Join us as we reflect on these timeless lessons that prompt critical self-examination and spiritual growth.
Reading Luke 16:19-22 where Jesus begins to share the account of a rich man who went to a place of fiery torment and a poor man named Lazarus who went to paradise. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

This week, Elissa Bjeletich and Kristina Wenger talk about the very rich man who just kept stepping over poor Lazarus, as he lay suffering at his gate. Is it that God wants to help the poor, or that He's actually using the poor to help the rich?

Some will respond to Jesus and his message and many will not. And their willingness to really hear is what makes all the difference in their response.
Recorded: 5/18/2025, Bryan Hepp, Luke 16:19-31
This is a very different, very controversial text. This verse is the origin of the statement "descended into Hell" in the Apostles Creed. Does the Bible say that Christ went to Hades to preach? Where does it say this?.

Pastor H.B. Charles Jr. preaches a sermon at For the Valley Bible Conference, Session 1 from Luke 16 verses 19 through 31 on the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
Join us this week for the third message in our series, "30 Seconds," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.
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?

Is your wealth a blessing or a barrier? In this episode, Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Alan Padgett, and Jennifer Pietz dive deep into Luke 16:19-31—the rich man and Lazarus parable. What does Jesus' story reveal about judgment, compassion, and discipleship? Are we using our resources to help others, or have we allowed wealth to become an idol? Join us as we unpack Christian communities' responsibility to care for the marginalized and work together to address poverty. This parable is more than just a warning—it's a call to action for all of us.
In this parable Jesus pictures the death of two men. One is a rich, self-centered man who had no compassion on the poor, and the other was a beggar named Lazarus. Jesus takes us beyond the grave and lets us see what happens to each as they step into eternity. The passage is meant as a warning against hardening our hearts toward God, thinking that life will go on forever and that we will never have to account for our attitudes. It's also a warning to those who think they can make up excuses for ungodly behavior. We may justify ourselves in our own minds, but we will not fool God at all. As we consider the rich man and his hard-hearted family, we will look more closely at the forces that harden a person's heart, and ways in which God is able to soften hearts so a person can be saved before he/she dies. All of us know people who stubbornly resist repenting and turning to God. Understanding why people refuse to turn to God and how God works to win them back to Himself should help us pray for such people and to be more patient while we're waiting. And through it all, we must remember no one loves hard-hearted people more than God (Eze 18:23: Jn 3:16:2Pe 3:9).
