    Lessons From Hell

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 25, 2025
     | 406 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

     | 421 views

    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

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Lazarus And The Rich Man

    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

    A Very Frightening Reading About Hell, How Then To We Avoid It.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Sep 28, 2025
     | 189 views

    No matter where we are in our spiritual journey, this parable will quickly return us to earth with a bang. Let us remind ourself of our duty to God and our fellow man.

    Introduction: “This is a frightening reading” What a horrible, and frightening reading that was. For me, this is one of the worst passages in the whole bible, partly because we do not understand it in full, and partly because we do. … No matter where we are in our spiritual journey with the Lord, ...read more

    If you want to be certain of heaven and avoid hell, stop depending on yourself and depend on Jesus.

    A drunk man got on the bus late one night, staggered up the aisle, and sat next to a woman who was clutching a Bible. She looked the wayward drunk up and down and said, “I've got news for you, mister. You're going straight to hell!” The man jumped up out of his seat and shouted, “Oh, man, ...read more

    Sermon # 38 - The Attributes Of God The Father Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 23, 2025

     | 368 views

    God is our loving Heavenly Father who sent His only begotten Son Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. When God is our Father we have forgiveness of sins, healing, redemption, His loving kindness and tender mercies and a life of total contentment.

    For today’s meditation let us dwell on Psalm 103:13, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.” (ESV) This Psalm that David wrote is based on the understanding that the relationship between the Almighty God and mankind is like that of a ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 4, 2025
     | 439 views

    Hell is just as real as heaven. The biblical images of heaven and hell are designed to convince us that we will want to go to heaven and won't want to go to hell. The good news is that no one has to go to hell because God has provided a way of escape and His name is Jesus.

    The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 offers the best and clearest picture into the nature of hell. Because these words come from our Lord Jesus, we must treat them with utmost respect. We see the cry of rich man from hell to heaven.

    The Bible warns us of two eternities. One is impressive and all like to hear about it. But the other is horrifying and seldom wants to believe it. They are heaven and hell. Is hell real? There can be two answers. One is from man and the other is from God. What I think about hell neither make a ...read more
