    A Square Inch Of Hell Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 7, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,030 views

    Why did Jesus talk so much about hell? It's not a real popular topic even today and its hard to think it would have been then. What possible reason would Jesus have for stressing it during His ministry?

    OPEN: There’s a small town in Michigan, about 60 miles west of Detroit. It’s a small community of about 80 people, and the name of this little town is (pause) Hell... Hell, Michigan.

    Complacency And The Path To Perdition

    This may make you squirm a bit. But remember that the prophets had two missions: to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2025 In today’s opening prayer, the Church celebrates God’s almighty power shown by Him pardoning sins and showing mercy, and we ask for abundant grace, God’s very life, so that we can hasten to attain His promises and be His eternal heirs.

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 25, 2025
     | 388 views

    The "Rich Man" has gone to Hell. While there, he is in conversation with Abraham about being in torment. This conversation teaches us three important lessons about being ready for eternity.

    HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO TAKE SIDES! WE CAN SOMETIMES FIND HUMOR IN SUCH ENDEAVORS LIKE DEBATING WHETHER IT IS PRONOUNCED “POTATOE” OR “PATATTA,” “CARRIBIAN” OR “CARRA-BEAN” OR EVEN “NEVADA” OR “NUH-VADA.” WE ALWAYS DESIRE TO BE RIGHT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT ...read more

    Jesus used a familiar Jewish story to show who the true children of Abraham are. The only bridge across the chasm of sin is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    (Father Abraham and Lazarus) If you could overhear a live conversation between heaven and hell, would you lean in? Many people read Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus as though He lowered a microphone into the afterlife to let us hear a dialogue across eternity. For centuries preachers ...read more

    Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all eternity, and I don’t mean a below sidewalk-level seedy bar in Manhattan, NY.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is the only parable that contains a proper name, "Lazarus;" the rich man has no name, but he is traditionally known as "Dives," the Latin word meaning "rich." Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all ...read more
