Eternal Dividends – Luke 16:19–31 | Pastor Landon

In this message, Pastor Landon walks through Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 and calls us to think seriously about eternity, stewardship, and the true value of our lives.

We look at how:

• Earthly success can disguise spiritual poverty

The rich man had everything on the outside, but nothing that mattered before God.

• Comfort can blind compassion

Our routines, priorities, and “gates” can keep us from seeing the hurting, needy, and lost right in front of us.

• Death equalizes everyone

One heartbeat separates luxury from eternity. What we do with Jesus in this life is what matters forever.

• Hell is real and final

There is no second chance, no crossing the gulf, no purgatory. The rich man’s cry from torment becomes a sobering missionary call: “Send someone to my family.”

• Scripture is enough

We don’t need more signs—we need to hear and respond to the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing.

Pastor Landon also talks about:

• The difference between judgment for sin (paid in full at the cross for those in Christ)

• The Bema Seat of Christ, where believers give an account of what they did with their time, talents, and treasure

• Living with eternal dividends in mind—using our money, gifts, and opportunities as tools for the gospel instead of idols we serve

This message is a call to:

• Invest in souls, not just stuff

• See our church as a gospel outpost, not a religious club

• Trust in Jesus alone for salvation—no “Jesus plus,” no human additions, just His finished work on the cross

May this teaching help you think eternally, love people the way God does, and live in light of the reality that only what’s done for Christ will last.
