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.

We may always have the poor among us. But that should not erode our awareness of them or blind us to the opportunities we have to serve them. After all that is what Jesus did to serve poor miserable sinners such as us. He didn't overlook us. He served and saved us and calls us to do the same. Furthermore, Jesus has risen from the dead. Surely we will listen to him!

Send us a textThe ancient tale of the rich man and Lazarus cuts through centuries to confront us with uncomfortable truths about eternity. Jesus's vivid narrative takes us beyond the grave, revealing the shocking reality that awaits us all.We journey alongside two men whose earthly circumstances couldn't be more different. One draped in purple and fine linen, hosting sumptuous feasts daily behind his imposing gate. The other, Lazarus, covered in sores and starving, longing merely for fallen crumbs while dogs lick his wounds in a pitiful display of the only comfort available to him. Yet Jesus deliberately names the beggar while leaving the wealthy man anonymous—a profound reversal that speaks volumes about true significance in God's economy.The afterlife scene unfolds with dramatic intensity as positions suddenly reverse. Lazarus rests in Abraham's bosom—paradise—while the once-privileged man suffers torment, separated by an unbridgeable chasm. His desperate plea for a drop of water echoes with terrible irony, as does his request that Lazarus warn his five brothers. Abraham's sobering response—that those who reject Scripture won't be convinced even by someone rising from the dead—foreshadows how many would reject Christ's own resurrection.This teaching transcends mere theological debate about whether it's a parable. Its timeless warning speaks directly to our hearts: earthly status means nothing in eternity, compassion reveals true faith, and our response to God's Word determines our eternal destiny. The great gulf is fixed after death, but while we live, we can choose which side we'll occupy forever. Will you, like the rich man, pursue temporal comfort at eternal cost? Or will your name, like Lazarus, be known and cherished by God himself?Support the show

Send us a textThe parable of Lazarus and the rich man stands as one of the most powerful commentaries on wealth, compassion, and eternal consequences ever told. We dive deep into this ancient narrative that feels shockingly relevant to our modern, capitalism-driven world.Lazarus—whose name means both "God helped" and, ironically, "beggar" or "leper"—sits helpless outside a rich man's gate, covered in sores, longing for mere crumbs from the wealthy man's table. In a stunning detail that captured our conversation, dogs—animals considered utterly unclean in ancient Jewish culture—show more compassion to Lazarus by licking his wounds than the wealthy man who completely ignores his suffering. This powerful image reveals how even the most despised elements of society treated this vulnerable man with more dignity than the privileged person who had abundant resources to help.When both men die, their fates dramatically reverse. Lazarus is carried by angels to "Abraham's bosom"—a place of honor and comfort—while the rich man finds himself in torment, able to see but unable to reach the paradise where Lazarus now rests. This reversal powerfully illustrates Jesus's teaching that "the last shall be first, and the first shall be last."Our discussion explores various interpretations of Abraham's bosom, the nature of the afterlife, and the unbridgeable gulf between these two eternal destinations. More importantly, we examine what this parable reveals about our own attitudes toward wealth and the vulnerable people at our gates today. As one participant pointedly observed, "If you speak against capitalism in this country, you are the devil." Yet Jesus consistently challenged the wealthy to examine their priorities.Who are you in this story? The rich person enjoying abundance while ignoring suffering at your doorstep? Or are you Lazarus, holding onto faith despite life's hardships? Perhaps most importantly—are you showing the compassion that even the dogs demonstrated, or are you too preoccupied with your own comfort to notice those in need?Support the show

Send us a textWhen a seemingly simple question about Jesus preaching to the dead arose in our discussion, it unexpectedly ignited one of our most passionate theological debates ever. This episode captures a raw, unfiltered conversation about what happens after death that divided our panel right down the middle.The controversy centers around Abraham's bosom - described in Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Did Old Testament saints go there instead of heaven? Did Jesus descend there after his crucifixion to preach to them? These questions led us deep into scriptural analysis, with participants holding dramatically opposing views.As we examine key passages like 1 Peter 3:18-20 and Ephesians 4:7-10, you'll witness genuine Christians wrestling with difficult texts and coming to completely different conclusions. Some firmly believe Jesus descended to preach to captive spirits after his death, while others find this interpretation fundamentally problematic and contradictory to the gospel's purpose.The debate gets particularly heated when discussing the phrase "descended to the lower parts of the earth" - does this refer to Christ's incarnation (coming from heaven to earth) or to his journey to some underworld location after death? You'll hear passionate arguments for both positions.Beyond the theological specifics, this episode reveals something important about biblical interpretation and Christian unity. Despite sharp disagreements, all participants remain committed to Scripture's authority while acknowledging that some passages present genuine interpretive challenges.Whether you're fascinated by questions about the afterlife, interested in biblical interpretation, or simply enjoy thoughtful theological discussion, this episode offers plenty to contemplate about what happens between death and eternity. Where do you stand on this theological divide? Listen and join the conversation.Support the show

Join us this week for the third message in our series, "30 Seconds," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

Scripture Reading: Luke 16:19-31 Are You investing your life in what truly matters? This story is an invitation to take on a new life, a new identity, that not only matters, but will last.

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.

Jesus shows the truth about Hell through the rich man's eyes. Jesus shows the Pharisees how their ideas of their wealth was not a blessing to them. Everything they thought regarding wealth and poverty is reversed from Biblical Truth. The rich man like them has a heart that loves money, fame, ease of living. These are all things that the world thinks… The post The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 5 | Hell is for Real appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Jesus teaches your focus should be on God not the world. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus has to be one of the most sobering portrayals in all of Scripture of divine judgment. Travis has shown us that the parable provides a warning. It’s a warning about the certainty of future judgment. The occasion for the parable is the response… The post The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 4 | Hell is for Real appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Life in the world is not as it really is to God. Travis discusses the contrast Jesus makes between the rich man and Lazarus. There is eternal life with Jesus in Paradise or eternal life in regret alone in constant, conscience torment, and pain in Hell.

Luke 16: 19-31 (The Rich Man and Lazarus:What Hell Itself Wont Do) - Phil Adams by Park Community Church

How does the bible encourage us to think about wealth. Travis explains how the bible encourages us to think about wealth and poverty.  He helps us understand how God thinks about wealth and poverty. A poor person can be just as sinful as a rich person regarding wanting wealth and ease of life. Sometimes the poor can be more sinful, since they… The post The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 2 | Hell is for Real appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus. To start this part of the series, Travis focuses on the portion of the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, where Jesus compares extravagant wealth and severe poverty. Extreme wealth and abject poverty are not what determines whether the person goes to heaven or hell. Travis explains where sin starts and how it manifests… The post The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 1 | Hell is for Real appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

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).

The Rich Man and Lazarus : Luke 16:19-31 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 02-16-25 by Park Community Church

The Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus is difficult to take in. Jesus is addressing leaders who are scoffing at his message and he warns them that they are justifying themselves merely from the frame of reference of human standards, but that God examines their hearts. And then he lays on them an appalling picture of consequences in the afterlife. He depicts both heaven and hell and the people who are taken to each place. Has the prospect of ending up in hell ever caused you to stop and consider what God's appraisal of your heart might be?

Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side.[a] The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'” Footnotes a.

* Over the past month, we have been studying Luke 14 through 16. In this portion of Luke, we have seen Jesus teaching various people groups that were following Him. In this section, we have seen Jesus' use of parables - or word pictures - to help illustrate, or portray, the point which He was conveying. Additionally, Jesus tended to teach into a moment by addressing a question, or statement, from those following Him. * Last week, at the beginning of chapter 16, Jesus specifically turned his teaching toward His disciples - sharing with them a parable regarding an unjust, or unrighteous, steward who is at first condemned and then commended by his master. At the conclusion of the parable, we saw that there were "others" (specifically, the pharisees) who were listening in, and who understood that the parable was addressing them. * Today, we want to pick up with that understanding of the Pharisees and consider Jesus' instruction to them after their derision of Him. In this portion, we saw Jesus first quickly address the extent of God's Knowledge, Kingdom, and Law. He then shares a parable which, at its core, is addressing the hardness of the Pharisees' hearts ... but which also opens up an opportunity for us to discuss what post-death might look like. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on February 2, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 1/19/25 by Pastor Steve Shields. Pastor Steve begins by asking why consider the doctrine of hell. The typical answer is to warn people. It also gives a greater appreciation for your salvation. Most importantly Jesus spoke about hell the most. In understanding the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we see what it is not. It is not saying that poor people go to heaven and rich people go to hell. It is not saying karma is coming. Instead, the parable is saying choose what you depend on carefully. You'll take the heart you are developing with you into eternity. Develop a heart of repentance, a heart of faith and a heart of love.

This is the sermon for the Lord's Day, November 24, 2024.

Last week Dustin Smith and Sam Tideman discussed the intermediate state--what happens after death but before resurrection on the last day. Although most Christians affirm the folk idea of going immediately to heaven or hell at death, Smith and Tideman argue that the Bible teaches the dead are in Sheol or Hades. However they disagree on what's happening there. Smith holds to soul-sleep while Tideman believes the dead are conscious. We went through many scriptures last time, but today we'll discuss two critical texts on this subject: the witch of Endor and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
