Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 11, 2022

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.

This message looks at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. All of us are going to be rewarded according to our deeds with either heaven or hell. Heaven and hell are real, and this passage shows a detailed description of each place.

This morning’s sermon is entitled “Receiving Our Reward,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.” All of us are going to be rewarded according to our deeds when this life is over. Some will enter into heaven and others will enter into hell. In his ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Hell

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

The last event in the life of SAINTS, as far as being connected to earth, is after the millennium they go to their eternal home in the glorious place the Bible calls heaven.

But in this message we are going to study the last thing that will happen to SINNERS, as they will spend eternity in the horrendous place the Bible calls hell! In this day of liberalism, when a preacher preaches about hell he is immediately branded in a negative way as being one of those ...read more

A Place Called Hell

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Sometimes people will ask us if we like where we live, and we tell them how we feel about where we live.

Illus: South Carolinians proudly tell people they live in South Carolina, but some of them will tell you they are embarrassed about some of the dumb laws they have on their books that have been passed down from their forefathers.

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Rich Man And Lazarus) # 18

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This parable is different from most parables because it conveys to us a number of vivid contrasts, such as:

• Riches and Poverty • Heaven and Hell • Compassion and Indifference • Inclusion and Exclusion As we teach this parable, I need to mention that there are some who refuse to teach Luke 16:19-31 as a parable. Their objection is for two reasons: (1) It is the only one of the parables in which ...read more

What In Hell Do You Want?

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 23, 2022

Eternity without God should lead us to shout, "There is nothing in hell that I want!" Yet, far too many of those living about us act as though there is something wonderful about hell. If that were not so, wouldn't we seek to please the Lord? There is nothing in hell that I want.

“There was a rich man who dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. But at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus whose body was covered with sores, who longed to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. In addition, the dogs came and licked his sores. “Now the poor ...read more

What Ever Happened To Hell?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more

It's Our Choice

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 23, 2022

Looking at the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, we see how costly it is to be focused only on "self" and not be mindful to be preparing our soul for eternity.

Choosing The Way Of Christ Over Worldly Goods.

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 24, 2022

The challenge of our Christian calling is to recognize the goodness of creation without building wealth, power and honor into a false god that lures us into worship.

Take Notice And Care!

Contributed by Stephanie M. Stark on Sep 24, 2022

We’ve all been there…lean times…maybe some leaner than others, but we all know what it’s like to get creative with what you’ve got. However, I don’t think any of us have ever been forced to beg on the side of a street, and that is where this morning’s lesson begins.

Grace and peace to you from God, our creator, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen. Growing up I never knew how poor we actually were. When my mom made macaroni and cheese with ranch style beans, I thought it was because she was trying to be creative, and not because that was all there ...read more
