Faith E-News: We Are Called Out and upcoming sermon series
December 26, 2022
In our parable, the rich man was worried about saving his brothers from suffering but he was not ever empathetic toward Lazarus. Even when he saw Lazarus was no longer suffering but treated as a son of Abraham, the rich man still couldn't really see Lazarus. Instead, he appealed to Abraham to order Lazarus to serve him. The entitled rich man ironically expected poor Lazarus to give up his riches in heaven to comfort him. When we look at the other scriptures for Sunday, we are given warnings about being self-indulgent. God watches how we use our blessings and calls us to a richer life in sharing with those outside our door. Come to worship to ask God for help with seeing who is truly poor and rich.
