The Rich Man and Lazarus :: 8/17/25 :: Katie Gayle
Welcome to Wellspring Church!
What has captured your heart? In this message, Pastor Katie Gayle unpacks the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), inviting us to examine what we value most—and how those values shape our eternity.
Through the lens of a road trip with her son and a surprisingly average candy bar, Pastor Katie highlights how the world makes bold promises that ultimately leave us disappointed. Jesus offers something far better: the riches of His Kingdom, which cannot be earned, bought, or faked.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 The emptiness of worldly promises and the seductive power of wealth
🔹 Why self-righteousness and external appearances can’t fool God
🔹 Jesus’ challenge to the Pharisees—and to us—to align our hearts with Kingdom values
🔹 The role of Scripture in revealing who God is and how we’re meant to live
🔹 Repentance not as shame, but as invitation into abundant life
We’re reminded that conviction is a form of grace: a loving challenge from Jesus to turn from comfort and self-focus and embrace a life marked by mercy, humility, and generosity.
