Pastor Steve begins by asking why consider the doctrine of hell. The typical answer is to warn people. It also gives a greater appreciation for your salvation. Most importantly Jesus spoke about hell the most.

In understanding the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we see what it is not. It is not saying that poor people go to heaven and rich people go to hell. It is not saying karma is coming.

Instead, the parable is saying choose what you depend on carefully.

You’ll take the heart you are developing with you into eternity. Develop a heart of repentance, a heart of faith and a heart of love.
