Doing Hard Things
September 15, 2024 • Chad Williams • Luke 17:1–6
In this powerful message from Luke 17:1-6, we're challenged to confront the inevitability of temptation in our lives and the responsibility we bear for our spiritual influence on others. We're reminded that while temptations are certain to come, we're called to a higher standard of vigilance and care for our fellow believers. The imagery of a millstone around one's neck serves as a stark warning about the gravity of leading others astray. As we grapple with these challenging directives, we're reminded that it's not the size of our faith that matters, but the greatness of the God in whom we place our trust.
Law, Lazarus, and Life After Death
September 8, 2024 • Chad Williams • Luke 16:16–31
In this powerful message, we explore the parable of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16. This story challenges our perceptions of blessing and reminds us that God's view often differs from our own. The rich man, despite his wealth and comfort, ends up in torment, while Lazarus, who suffered in life, finds eternal comfort. This stark contrast urges us to reconsider what true blessing means in God's eyes. It's a call for us to examine our hearts, to love our neighbors, and to heed the teachings of Scripture before it's too late.
