    Why The Gospel Is Greater Than Miracles

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 22, 2025
     | 339 views

    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.

    Why the Gospel is Greater than Miracles Good Morning. 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

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org The reality of Hell is something that most people, especially carnal people, do not want to contend with.

    Jesus, through the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, illustrates that wealth does not equate to righteousness. The rich man, despite having worldly possessions, lacked what was necessary for entry into heaven.

    Today, we will explore the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, as told by Jesus. This parable serves to remind us that being wealthy does not equate to being righteous. The rich man in the story had everything he desired, but he lacked what was necessary for eternal salvation. In the parable, ...read more

    Today I will be preaching on the parable of THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR found in the book of Luke.

    The gospel of Luke is the only book that carries this passage of scripture that some think is a parable. However, as I preach this from this PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE, I need to mention that there are some preachers who refuse to preach this passage of scripture as a parable. Some say it is not a ...read more

    The main idea is that hell is a real place, but we can avoid it by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, who offers us hope, rest, and peace for eternity.

    Today, we're going to talk about a pretty intense topic: hell. I know it's not something we usually chat about, but it's important to understand because Jesus talked about it a lot. In fact, He mentioned it over 70 times in the New Testament. So, let's dive into a story Jesus told about a rich man ...read more

    Lazarus chose to believe in God and trust his life to Him. Many complain about their injustice, their poverty and sickness, yet never turn to God. Life is tough and a difficult assignment, but we can fulfill our destiny.

    Subject: Life is Tough, a difficult Assignment Text: Luke 16:20-22 “And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

    If we keep walking past “obvious unseen” people, and we keep doing “obvious unseen” actions, and we keep treating Scripture as an “obvious unseen” we will join the rich man.

    Jesus shares a story that gives us a brief glimpse of Hell. This message is not a full sermon, but more than just an outline.

    There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen. He ate a feast every day. A beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate. Lazarus was covered in sores. He begged to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. As he lay at the gate, the dogs came and licked his ...read more

    Two men in the bible are called Lazarus . The interesting thing about these two men is that both were dead. Dead men don’t speak; they are silent – or are they? Both men spoke from the grave in a very special way. Both are unique. We look at both but mainly Lazarus from John 11.

    THE SILENT MAN WHO SPOKE NOT A WORD – Message John 11 LAZARUS Part 1 THE CHARACTERS OF JOHN’S GOSPEL Today we are looking at a very interesting but important episode in the Gospel of John.

    This message raises some thought-provoking questions: What would you do if you were God and your prized creation was in rebellion? After death, do the souls of wicked people go to a place of torment called Hell to later get resurrected and stand before God in the last judgment?

    Someone has said that this is the only prayer in the Bible addressed to a saint that was not answered.

    We heard today from Luke 16:21, which says “Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.” Admittedly, the grammatical construction in the Greek can be translated as “worst of all" dogs would lick his sores. However, the ancients knew when a dog licks a person's sores or wounds, healing ...read more

    What would a person in hades ask of us if we were able to hear them? Jesus provides us insight into this dark situation when He reveals what a lost man asked.

    “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
