This Lord's Day (September 3, 2023) at Rainsville First Baptist Church

We will conclude our journey through Luke 16 this Sunday with one of the most recognizable teachings of Jesus.  It is about the rich man and Lazarus and how the tables were turned on them in eternity from their earthly state.  Lazarus was a beggar lying at the rich man's gate ignored of even the scraps from his table.  Both died with Lazarus going to Heaven and the rich man to hell.  

Yet, when we preach and teach this story, the main focus is on the revelation of hell seen here.  And indeed it is a powerful, moving description of the place of eternal torment.

But the main teaching of Luke 16: 14-31 is not hell, but one's attitude toward money and material possessions in this life and how it is a mirror for what to expect in eternity.

We will look at this text and application this Sunday as we gather for the Lord's Day worship with His people.
