"Hell Helps" | Mark 9:42-48 + Luke 16:19-31 | Tim Parlier

Hell. It’s one of the most uncomfortable, often rejected teachings in the Bible, yet Jesus spoke of it more than anyone else. Why? This message confronts the hard truths found in Jesus’ words about judgment, warning, and the eternal consequences of a life lived apart from God. But it does so with an unexpected twist: showing how even the doctrine of hell can lead us to deeper self-awareness, peace, and a clearer picture of God’s love. Through the story of the rich man and Lazarus, we explore three counterintuitive truths: Hell helps us understand where we find our identity Hell helps us live at peace in a broken world Hell helps us know the radical, sacrificial love of Jesus This is not a message of fear, but of rescue, a sobering yet hope-filled invitation to find your life, your peace, and your future in the only One who faced the fire so you would never have to.
