Hell

Feb 17, 2019    Matt Santen

This message tackles a heavy but essential topic: the reality of hell. Jesus talked about hell more than anyone else—not to scare people, but to help them see what’s at stake and how deeply God desires to save us. Through the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16, we see that eternity is fixed after death, and our choices now shape our forever. God doesn’t send people to hell—He honors their choice to live apart from Him. Hell is the absence of everything good, everything of God, while heaven is the fullness of life with Him. The message ends with a challenge: if we truly believe eternity is real, it should impact how we live and how urgently we share Christ with others today.
