Description

What does the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus really teach us about wealth, blessing, and eternal life? In this sermon, Pastor James Huenink explores Jesus’ powerful story from Luke 16, showing how God’s Word turns upside down our assumptions about money, success, and compassion.

Far from being a simple warning about riches, this parable challenges us to see our neighbors as people deeply loved by God—and calls us to use the gifts He’s given us for service, not selfishness. Pastor Huenink also connects this teaching to today’s struggles with prosperity thinking and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ frees us to live generously.

📖 Scripture: Luke 16:19 –31 (The Rich Man and Lazarus)
✝️ Key Themes: Money, compassion, generosity, prosperity gospel, Jesus’ resurrection
