The Rich Man and Lazarus
November 1, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Luke 16:19–31
This Sunday, RD teaches from Luke 16, where Jesus confronts the danger of allowing wealth, possessions, and worldly security to take the place of God in our hearts. Through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus reveals the eternal consequences of a life centered on earthly riches while overlooking the needs of others and the greater reality of eternity. The rich man's wealth and status could not save him, reminding us that neither our possessions nor our religious heritage can provide the security and salvation found in Christ alone. In contrast, Lazarus reveals the hope of those who depend on God, whose eternal promises far outweigh the suffering and circumstances of this present life. Through the gospel, we are reminded that salvation comes not through our own efforts or accomplishments, but through the mercy and grace of Jesus, who came to seek and save the lost. As followers of Christ, we are invited to loosen our grip on the things of this world, find our identity and security in belonging to Him, and live with generosity, compassion, and an eternal perspective that reflects the heart of God.
