S10E17: Gulf Is Crossed (Having Words with Jesus pt. 4)

Sermon #517

As we wrap up our short series on discipleship, we look at the story of the rich man and Lazarus.  Jesus uses this story to illustrate the danger of relying upon riches instead of the providence of God.  The entirety of the 16th chapter of Luke seems to be focused on this truth, that one's reliance upon riches - and that to the detriment of those in need - is a sin that separates us from God.  The story also illustrates the plain fact that our final destination is determined by what we do in life.  And in death, our attitude does not change.  There is no repentance in the afterlife.  

Luke 16:19-31
