"The Other Side" - Luke 16:19-31 - Jul 12, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus pulls back the curtain on eternity through the sobering account of the rich man and Lazarus, revealing the conscious reality of comfort and torment after this life. Pastor Scotty Brown unpacks this powerful narrative, showing that our eternal destiny is determined not by our wealth or poverty, but by our faith and response to God's Word. The message challenges believers to examine their hearts, reject self-centered living, and minister to those in need.

Emphasizing the sufficiency of Scripture to awaken the lost, Pastor Scotty shares Smith Wigglesworth's four principles for the Word of God:

Read the Word of God

Consume the Word until it consumes you

Believe the Word of God

Act on the Word of God
