Death To The Life Giver Series

Contributed by Ken Sowers on Mar 17, 2014

Jesus raises Lazarus - part 2

Death to the Life Giver Remember how Mary and Martha greeted Jesus - “Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Isn't that how we view things. If God was on the ball, really in charge, if He had things under control, “If God was really paying attention - then ...read more

At The Feet Of Jesus

Rich Man And Lazarus

Contributed by Jason Cole on Feb 23, 2004

We can learn a lot from the story that Jesus told, especially about the concept of Hell. While Hell is not popularly talked about Jesus teaches it as a Truth.

“Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus” Introduction: As I sit and listen to people talk I learn quickly that the world is wicked. I hear things that blow my mind. People are hopeless without Jesus Christ, and if you are in Christ today you know what I am talking about because you may ...read more

We need to learn to see Lazarus before it’s too late!

We continue with our study of the book of Luke, arriving now in chapter 16, verse 19.

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS Luke 16:19-31 INTRO.: One of Jesus’ teachings was the impossibility of serving two masters. He declared the absolute impossibility of serving both God and mammon (wealth).

The Rich Man And Lazarus Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Apr 2, 2007

Use Jesus’ teaching to demonstrate God’s desire for us to reach out to the poor and lost and the eternal implications of a real place of torment called hell for those who do not worship (love) God as revealed through Jesus’ resurrection.

We continue today on our 40 day journey through the season of Lent as we walk with Jesus to the cross and to resurrection. During our Lenten journey we have been focusing on Jesus’ teachings on the way to the cross from Luke’s gospel. This is the section from Luke 9:50 until his arrest and death ...read more

Lazarus And The Rich Man Series

Contributed by Alan Mccann on Aug 19, 2008

Eternal destiny? Attitude? Eternal Separation?

Lazarus and the Rich Man Luke 16.19-30 This parable is often ignored or used for evangelistic sermons about the permanency and reality of heaven and hell. Whilst it does deal with both of those subjects, that is not actually the core teaching of this parable. As always let us set the parable in ...read more

Living A Lazarus Life

Contributed by Wayne Dishman on Apr 15, 2008

If you have been raised with Christ it ought to affect how you look at life.

It happened all too quickly. Several days earlier they had been joking and laughing with one another, preparing for the arrival of a dear friend.

Lazarus And The Rich Man

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

It has become common practice to see as the whole meaning of this story that the rich should help the poor... But this particular story especially, if one allows oneself to be affected fully by its original meaning, is a very concrete proclamation of the

One cannot understand and preach the gospel concretely enough. A real evangelical sermon must be like holding a pretty red apple in front of a child or a glass of cool water in front of a thirsty person and then asking: do you want it? We should be able to talk about matters of our faith in such a ...read more

The Rich Man And Lazarus

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013

Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.
