Sermon Series: Lost & Found Preacher: Josh White 9.27.26

Herman Melville's gimlet-eyed take on passes for charity among complacent donors.

Listen to the archived services of Community Baptist Temple in Akron, OH

In this message, Pastor Dave Klassen looks at one of Jesus' most sobering parables: The Rich Man and Lazarus.Jesus tells the story of a rich man who lived in luxury while Lazarus, a poor and suffering beggar, lay at his gate. Both men eventually died, but their eternal circumstances were completely different. Through this story, Jesus confronts the danger of living for wealth and comfort while ignoring God and the needs of those around us.Pastor Dave explains that the parable is not simply teaching that being rich is wrong or that being poor guarantees heaven. Instead, Jesus exposes the condition of the heart and points us toward the eternal consequences of how we respond to God.The message also challenges us to take sin, repentance, and eternity seriously. God's mercy is available to us now, while we are alive, but the story reminds us that there comes a point when the opportunity to respond is gone. As Pastor Dave emphasizes, we are not guaranteed tomorrow—we have the opportunity to respond to Christ today.Ultimately, the message points us back to Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross provides forgiveness for our sin and the way into God's presence through faith.

"The Rich Man's Dilemma" - Sermon by Pastor Bob Gianserra - Luke 18:18-30

The mini-series is clearly not a strictly American phenomenon (as evidenced by our last episode), but there was a while when that could easily be the argument. It seemed as though mini-series were ubiquitous during the 1970s and 80s. The first by-definition mini-series in the US was probably The Blue Knight, which aired on NBC in 1973 and later became a regular series starring George Kennedy in the role originally played by William Holden. But the one that broke it all open for television was 1976's Rich Man, Poor Man, based on the Irwin Shaw novel. The blockbuster version of the mini-series came the following year, when Roots aired on ABC and became a cultural phenomenon literally overnight. Mini-series carried on into the early 1990s but were largely done in by budget considerations, especially since people were beginning to turn to cable and video as options for their viewing. And in my (Claude) opinion, part of the problem with many of these series is that their scope was quite narrow, or they were TOO broad. Roots' viewership, while still strong, dropped off over time because we were no longer following Kunta Kinte, but other characters a few generations removed. In the case of Rich Man, Poor Man, if you weren't interested in the basic story, you tuned out quickly. However: in 1989 a mini-series came out that was cinematic in scope, that followed the exploits of the same group of people over about two years' time, and had practically everything in it: love, hate, friendship, battles, heroes and villains, deaths (both expected and not), sacrifices and vengeance...it's like the Princess Bride of its time (Sean's probably gonna beat me for that one). That series was Lonesome Dove, based on the 1985 novel by Larry McMurtry. Lonesome Dove stars Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall as Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae, retired Texas Rangers who embark on one last cattle drive from the Rio Grande to the un-settled wilderness lands in Montana. The series also stars Diane Lane, Robert Urich, Chris Cooper and Anjelica Huston in strong supporting roles. If you haven't seen Lonesome Dove, do yourself a huge favor and check this version out. There are also sequels, prequels, a relatively short-lived (21 episodes) TV series, and I recently learned that it's coming back to Netflix as a drama series. What's not clear from the materials I've seen is whether they're sticking to the novel and being done with it, or if it's going to be another continuing series in that universe. But start with the 1989 original and thank me later. Because Part 2 is also about Lonesome Dove, the show notes there will be nearly identical to the ones you see here, so you needn't bother reading them. I won't take it personally.

In which we continue and conclude our discussion of Lonesome Dove. The mini-series is clearly not a strictly American phenomenon (as evidenced by our last episode), but there was a while when that could easily be the argument.

Learn why the rich man wasn't condemned for his wealth itself, but for his complete lack of compassion toward Lazarus's suffering. This guided meditation and daily spiritual practice will challenge you to see the suffering around you and respond with genuine compassion. Perfect for anyone ready to align their wealth with their faith and become someone who sees the Lazaruses in their life.

(Luke 16:19-31) As we continue our Unique to Luke series, we come to Jesus' confronting parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, a story found only in Luke's Gospel. Two men are separated by a great chasm. But as the story unfolds, we discover that perhaps the chasm had been there all along. The rich man knew Lazarus' name, yet only seemed to truly see him when he needed something from him. Join us as we explore the way Jesus' parable reveals a challenge around how wealth, power and comfort can shape the way we see the people around us.

Beatle Bottoms. To some, bottoms is a synonym for “tushie”, as they say in the industry. For Tony & T.J., it's their least favourite Fab 4 songs. And boy do they just disagree. But there ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, there's only this deluxe reissue of one of our favorite early episodes, reproduced for disc by Grandmaster Casey. ----- [Originally released September 5, 2020] Clickbait: Are T.J. and Tony in a Beatles cult? The answer may dumbfound you!! In this Labor Day Spectacular (not that spectacular really) T.J. and Tony comb the floor of the Sea of Holes in search of the least fab Beatles songs. Listen for adjectives like "treacly" and "loathsome"(!). Also included are hot takes on R.E.M. vs Barenaked Ladies, and a very brief tribute to short form improv. Meanwhile, T.J. discloses one of his "Beatle nightmares" while Tony wears out his “Beatle bag.” Fact cheque: "It's All Too Much" was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios and "Baby, You're A Rich Man" at Olympic Sound Studios. Neither T.J. nor Tony can remember what a clavioline is. EPISODE LINKS: Listen to the Beatle Bottoms playlist here! Check out UBP's videos on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook,  or Instagram!

Ian Bowles preaches on the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, using Luke 16:19-31. He critiques prosperity gospel and emphasizes the importance of treating everyone as your equal. Originally shared September 6, 2026.

Send Us Your Questions/CommentsComfort can numb us so slowly that we do not notice what it is doing to our souls. We sit with Luke 16:19–31, Jesus' story of the rich man and Lazarus, and ask the question it forces on every listener: what are you trusting to carry you beyond death?We talk through why some believers see this as a parable while others see it as a real account, and why we should hold those details with humility. From there, we trace the main contrasts Jesus builds into the story: two lives, two trusts, and two eternal destinies. The rich man's fine linen and daily feasting are not condemned merely because they are expensive, but because his comfort fuels a hard, self-protective heart that cannot see the suffering at his own gate. Lazarus, whose name means “God is my help,” becomes a picture of dependence that outlasts earthly loss.The conversation turns to the afterlife, the reality of heaven and hell, and the chilling detail of the great chasm that cannot be crossed. That leads to the practical urgency: the time to repent, to live with open hands, and to share the gospel is now. We also dig into the ending of the passage, where Abraham points to “Moses and the Prophets” and Jesus underscores the sufficiency of Scripture. If someone refuses God's Word, even a resurrection will not convince them, a truth that hits close to home in a distracted, self-justifying age.If you want a Bible study conversation on money and faith, Christian stewardship, life after death, and the urgency of repentance, hit play and stay with us to the final question about where your trust really lives.

What if one of Jesus' most famous stories about hell… isn't really about hell?In Week 9 of True Fiction: The Parables of Jesus, Pastor Chris Hoyt unpacks the story of The Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19–31, a parable filled with wealth, poverty, judgment, a great chasm, and even flames. But when we look at the conversation surrounding the story, Jesus may be confronting something much closer to home.The rich man had everything he needed, while Lazarus suffered right outside his gate. The problem wasn't that Lazarus couldn't be seen. The rich man had simply stopped seeing him.Through this challenging parable, Jesus exposes how easily our values can distort our vision, how radically the Kingdom overturns the world's measurements of importance, and how we can have Scripture in our hands while still missing the people God has placed right in front of us.Maybe the most important question isn't, “What exactly are the flames?”Maybe it's:“What's at my gate?”Scripture: Luke 16:19–31

Hunting has always been about the experience, the tradition, and the love of the outdoors—but somewhere along the way, did the price tag start getting out of hand? Trey Reed is back on the We Do This Too Outdoors Podcast, and this time we're getting into a conversation that a lot of hunters are thinking about: Is hunting becoming a rich man's game? We break down the rising cost of hunting—from expensive leases and land access to bows, guns, gear, tags, travel, trail cameras, and everything the industry tells us we “need” to be successful. Has social media and hunting culture created an unrealistic picture of what it takes to be a hunter? And are everyday working people slowly getting priced out of something that was never supposed to be about who could spend the most money? Trey and I keep it raw and talk about the difference between wanting premium gear and actually needing it, remembering why we started hunting in the first place, and whether the next generation will still be able to afford this lifestyle. This one might step on a few toes—but it's a conversation worth having. You don't need the biggest lease, the newest bow, or $10,000 worth of gear to belong in the woods.

Mark 10:17-31 I Sam Cassese I If I were a Rich Man...I. Money and morality are spiritual dead ends.II. To have eternal life we must follow Jesus as Lord.III. Wealth is uniquely competitive for the throne of our hearts.IV. What you leave for Christ is no comparison to what you've gained in Christ.What are you running after?

We continue with this series of looking in the Gospel of Luke at the stories that he included that were absent from the other three. Today we look at the Prodigal Son and the Rich Man and Lazarus. It is again very enlightening that these two stories were told by Jesus to let them know that the Gentiles are also the children of God and included in the kingdom. We wonder about what the older brother decides because he is still outside the house when the story ends. Does he come in and enjoy the party for this younger brother or does his anger prevent him from coming in and result in being excluded from his father's house because of his father's extravagant love.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (08/20/26), Hank responds to the assertion that Jesus had teachings of questionable morality, such as barring heaven to the wealthy, approving of slavery, and condemning sinners to hell.Hank answers the following questions:I've heard your comments on the book Heaven is for Real, but didn't the Rich Man and Lazarus see each other in Luke 16? Jim - Calgary, AB (6:38)Was there a time when God told Israel to punish evil, but because they didn't, God decided to punish them for not punishing the evil ones? Richard - OK (15:11)I was told that the Bible is more of a guide, and that heaven is not real and is just a state of being we find within us. How do I respond to that? Sarah - Kansas City, MO (18:11)Can you simplify what you said about the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, regarding how they could see without physical eyes? Peter - Bozeman, MT (21:23)Can you read a passage of Scripture and get something out of it, and then years later come back and get something different out of it? Peter - Bozeman, MT (24:41)

FROM ROLLING STONE: Jonathan Richman moved from Boston to New York as a teenager in hopes of sleeping on Lou Reed's couch. That influence shows on the two-chord anthem “Roadrunner.” Recorded in 1972 but not released until 1976, Lovers turned the tough sounds of the Velvets into an ode to suburban romanticism. “Rock & roll was about stuff that was natural,” Richman said. “I wasn't about drugs and space.” Songs like “Pablo Picasso,” “Girl Friend,” and “Dignified and Old” touched generations of punk and indie-rock innocents. Note From Rob: Some of the audio for the sfx and music sucks because my computer sucks. How can a MacBook bought this year not handle RECORDING A PODCAST? I am too lazy to fix it all, and the music is not that great anyway.

What happens when a former client returns for a live pricing coaching session? Mark Richman, CEO of Skeleton Key, shares how applying Mark Stiving's value-selling principles helped increase his close rate from 35% to 70% by focusing on customer outcomes instead of pitching solutions. Now, he returns to the hot seat to workshop his toughest pricing challenges in real time—from buyers who can't quantify value to outcome-based pricing and pricing for emotional outcomes.  This isn't another pricing interview; it's a front-row seat to a CEO getting his sales strategy challenged, refined, and rebuilt in real time.    Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Steal the framework that helped transform a 35% win rate into 70% — without changing his product. Find out why your prospects' "solution" is often the biggest obstacle to closing the deal. Watch Mark Stiving challenges Mark Richman's sales strategy and uncover the hidden pricing opportunities he almost missed.    "That willingness to not talk about what we do and that focus on why the client's there in the first place and how you can really help them achieve the outcome they want has transformed the way I sell. I went from about a 35% close rate to a 60 to 70% close rate."  — Mark Richman   Topics Covered: 01:30 – A Live Pricing Coaching Session Begins.

What matters is whether it's a fair exchange for the value you're creating." — Mark Richman "Raise your prices. Win fewer deals at higher prices and make more money." — Mark Stiving "Helping clients uncover the value of solving the right problem changed everything about how I sell." — Mark Richman   Connect with Mark Richman: Website: https://skeletonkey.com Email: mark.richman@skeletonkey.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markrichman/   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Embracing the Unknown A Conversation with Sue Jay Johnson and Joe Richman (Season 3 | Episode 248) Welcome back, beautiful listeners, to another reflection from the host’s chair of The Open Nesters Podcast. As Amir and I wrap up this incredible season, we had the absolute privilege of welcoming back two of our favorite returning guests, Sue Jaye Johnson and Joe Richman. Since we last spoke with them a couple of years ago, they have fully transitioned into this vibrant, sometimes chaotic chapter we affectionately call “open nesting.” Sitting down with them felt like catching up with old friends who have just returned from a profound expedition, brimming with wisdom about relationships, sexuality, and the spiritual journey of aging. OPEN NEST VS EMPTY NEST RELATIONSHIP TRIPPING FOR COUPLES INTIMACY AFTER KIDS LEAVE RADICAL TRUST IN PARENTING SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN MARRIAGE Joe and Jaye work with groups/couples in which they see inside each other’s relationships. You can learn more here: Relationship Tripping. And you can hear our first interview with these two remarkable people in our first interview – Rituals, Adventure and Relationships. The Pleasure Report THE PLEASURE REPORT, created by writer, journalist, and filmmaker Sue Jaye Johnson, is a publication and community dedicated to investigating our relationship to pleasure. We are defining pleasure in an infinitely broad sense. We interrogate our pleasure in grief, in rage, in pain, in culture, in politics, and in our longing for a better world. Each month we have a theme. We can experience pleasure passively, or, we can MAKE our pleasure. Together, we will explore the tenants of pleasure: attention, awareness, sensation, and acceptance. You will learn tools, be exposed to new ways of thinking, and being in your body, in this world. We are an engaged community of pleasure researchers. I invite you to join us. #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { border-radius: 14px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; } .btn-shadow#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { box-shadow: 0 1px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.12); transition: box-shadow 0.2s ease-out, opacity 0.45s; } .btn-shadow#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { box-shadow: 0 5px 11px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.18), 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); } .btn-3d#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px #4a29e6; } .btn-3d#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px #0c1d2b; } .btn-flat#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { box-shadow: none; } .btn-flat#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { box-shadow: none; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e.ico-right-side > i { margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 8px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e > i { margin-right: 8px; font-size: 16px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:not(:hover) { border-width: 0px; border-color: #1ee3cf !important; color: #ffffff; background: #6d4efe !important; padding: 12px 18px 12px 18px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:not(:hover) * { color: #ffffff; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { border-width: 0px; border-color: #0d3f67 !important; color: #1ee3cf; background: #0d3f67 !important; padding: 12px 18px 12px 18px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover * { color: #1ee3cf; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e.ico-right-side > i { margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 8px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e > i { margin-right: 8px; }Subscribe to the Pleasure Report The Grief and Grace of Letting Go Transitioning away from full-time parenthood isn’t just about reclaiming your living room or enjoying a quieter house; it is a profound and often jarring emotional shift. Sue was incredibly candid about her own experience, describing the departure of her kids as a deeply moving process that she intentionally leaned into during an artist residency on Cape Cod. Letting go of the daily caretaking role requires us to face our own identities outside of being “Mom” or “Dad,” which can be utterly terrifying if we don’t hold space for the transition. “It’s a little mini death, you know? It’s like a death of an era… I wanted to just feel all the feelings of it. Because I knew if I didn’t, it would come out sideways.” – Sue Jaye Johnson Practicing Radical Trust One of the most challenging aspects of this new chapter is stepping back from fixing our children’s problems, a hurdle Sue and Joe tackled through an intentional practice of radical trust. They committed to trusting their younger daughter’s decisions completely for two months, consciously stopping themselves from jumping in with solutions or unprompted advice as she navigated her gap year. This wasn’t a passive withdrawal, but an active, disciplined choice to let their child fall, fail, and ultimately succeed on her own terms. It is a powerful reminder that our ultimate job is to raise capable adults, and at a certain point, our constant intervention actually hinders their magnificent growth. Fierce Independence and Deep Connection What truly struck me during our conversation was how beautifully Sue Jaye and Joe balance their deep, intentional connection with a fierce sense of personal independence. They aren’t afraid to travel separately—Joe taking solo trips to explore, and Sue Jaye embarking on adventures with her girlfriends—recognizing that time apart only enriches the energy they bring back to their shared New York City apartment. This level of autonomy requires a rock-solid foundation of security and a mutual understanding that personal growth doesn’t threaten the relationship; it actively feeds it. Relationship Tripping and the Love Lab Joe and Jaye aren’t just navigating this territory quietly; they are actively building tools and communities for others through their initiatives like Relationship Tripping and the Love Lab. They shared incredible insights from their six-week programs, where they guide couples through the universal stumbling blocks of long-term intimacy by turning the relationship itself into a vehicle for exploration. Their approach provides a structured yet expansive way to communicate without triggering old defenses. The Mirror: Recognizing that your partner reflects your own inner landscape. The Teacher: Viewing conflicts and triggers as essential lessons for personal growth. Fear and Desire Practices: Creating a safe container with a timer to voice deep-seated needs without interruption. Looking Ahead to the Next Adventure This episode was a beautiful, raw reminder that our roles as parents don’t vanish; they just evolve into something requiring less management and more observation. Amir and I are so deeply grateful to Sue and Joe for bringing their authentic selves to the studio and breaking the conventional paradigms of aging and partnership. For anyone feeling the sting of the changing seasons in their own home, I highly encourage you to listen to this episode, check out their upcoming book, and explore their adventurous new dating events in Manhattan. The nest isn’t empty, my friends—it’s just finally wide open. Resources for You We want to provide you with support and many many resources for your own Open Nesting Journey.

Have you ever felt a nudge to share your story... but then that little voice inside whispered, "What if people judge me?"  The truth is, every one of us has a story worth telling. But finding the courage to tell it—that's where so many of us get stuck.  Today's guest knows that journey well.  Joining me is Michele Richman, a former prosecutor, attorney, leadership coach, and Chief People Officer who has spent years helping others grow both personally and professionally. Yet one of her greatest transformations didn't happen in a courtroom or a boardroom—it happened when she found the courage to embrace her own voice and share the stories that shaped her life.  In this conversation, Michele shares how discovering her core value of courage changed everything. We talk about overcoming fear, embracing authenticity, and why our most meaningful stories—whether they're about joy, grief, parenting, or stepping outside our comfort zone—often become the bridge that connects us to others. If you've ever wondered whether your story matters... or if you've been waiting for permission to share it... this episode may be exactly the encouragement you've been looking for.  Let's call it in, “Call IT in With Dar!” Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)  Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.Grab Dar's Flight Deck Oracle Card DeckTake Dar's Archetype Quiz

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire? In this episode, Jaime and Alana take a 180-degree and head straight to Broadway. They dive into the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, using Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof as a surprisingly profound template for prayer. They discuss the danger of censoring our conversations with God, the freedom of bringing our most "frivolous" desires to Him, and how peeling back the layers of wanting money or status often reveals a pure, God-given need for security, respect, or peace. Alana highlights how teaching middle schoolers about Disney character motivations led her to realize that every superficial desire has a deeper "prayer behind the prayer." Meanwhile, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip, unpacking her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit and tracing it down to a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family. Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on stripping away the "judgy Christian hat" that shames women for wanting a financial cushion, beautiful spaces, or basic human respect. From the reality of a mother's innate drive to provide, to Tevye's ultimate wish for simply having the time to sit and pray, they offer a refreshing perspective on approaching God exactly as you are—without pretending to be someone you aren't. Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational, authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this episode encourages you to stop editing your prayers, uncover the true desires of your heart, and confidently bring your uncensored self to the Father.
