Why The Gospel Is Greater Than Miracles

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 22, 2025

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is amazing for a number of reasons. One reason that we will look at today is that Jesus makes a clear statement that what will bring people to Christ is not great miracles, but simply God's Word shared with them.

Our lesson this morning, Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, comes in response to the Pharisees having come once again to argue with Jesus. That’s a big point to the parable, the whole idea that we so much want to try to justify ...read more

In Terms Of Eternity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023

The Bible teaches that after death (Hebrews 9:27), we will face judgment and enter eternity, either heaven or hell. Consider what that means and how it should motivate us to spread the Gospel in these last days.

The Bible teaches that from the moment we are conceived, we are destined to live forever (Psalm 61:7; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46: Romans 2:7). The LORD God Almighty saw fit to create us, give us meaning, a purpose, and conscience to use for His glory and our benefit (Psalm 73:25-28; Romans ...read more
