Life After Death | Luke

01/16/2022
Most people have a curiosity about the afterlife. That’s because the Bible says that “God has set eternity in the hearts of men” (Ecc. 3:11). The eternal God has put an eternal awareness in the hearts of every human being. In Luke 16 Jesus tells one of the most insightful stories about the afterlife. He details the deaths of two men and the different places they went after they died. One man went to a place of Torment where he suffered, and the other man (named Lazarus) went to a place of Paradise where he was comforted. How is Paradise different from Heaven? What happens when we die? Pastor Gary answers these questions and more as he teaches through Luke 16.
00:00 - Welcome
00:42 - Introduction
09:32 - The contrast of two lives
19:37 - 1.) Paradise is not the same as Heaven
21:14 - 2.) Jesus visited Paradise side of Hell during the three days His body was in the grave and He emptied Paradise when He escorted the occupants from there to Heaven
27:59 - 3.) The Torment side of Hell was not originally intended for people
29:53 - 4.) The present Hades (Hell) will be destroyed when it and its occupants are thrown into the Lake of Fire for eternal suffering
31:15 - 5.) Death may be inevitable, but your destination is a choice

What can I say I love this man. I wish I lived closer so I could see him in person. I'm so thankful I discovered his teachings they have been a blessing.

I want to spend eternity with the Lord!

[@susanthomas6416]

Thank you for mentioning the angels who carried Lazarus to Abraham when he died and reminding us that you are never alone when you die. My heart was so burdened when my Mother passed on due to Covid, but today my heart ❤️is lifted up, remembering the scriptures in Luke 16:22 And the poor man died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. So I am comforted that you reminded those who lost loved ones during Covid that they where never alone✝️😇

[@adelinacardamone1704]

Very good teaching thank you

[@Asa-lu9ch]

Oh, also was glad to get to hear that.❤

[@florencewolfe7690]

Pastor Gary, thank you so much for the Word of God. My husband passed over two years ago of Covid. I was there in the hospital by myself and I heard him give up the Ghost. Also, at 15 years old, my father died in my arms and I also heard him take his last breath. My little girl Rebekah, who was 40 days and 40 nights old, I also heard her take her last breath. What has given me the greatest comfort today is hearing you say ,They are accompanied by the Angels to heaven. Thank you for your preaching, and thank you for HIS Comfort and Peace you have given me today!

[@Lynnette4]

I appreciate your comment. I too have had several loved ones pass. Thank you🙏

Thank you pastor for teaching the truth! Be blessed in Jesus Name! Thank You Jesus for the Word, the Truth, and Life!!! May every person on earth take up Your Word, reading it from this day untill we're seeing Jesus!

[@rebeccaacklin5077]

I don't go to church but I'm a very firm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ that he died for me as a sinner and he's giving me eternity of salvation And the reason I don't go to church is because where I live I have no transportation I want to go to a church that's going to be praying from the Bible not their works if you can find anybody in San Bernardino that is willing to pick me up and take me to church and listen to the word from the Bible I would just be blessed knowing that I'll be able to be at church on Sunday or Saturday or whatever day the services are thank you and God bless you I've been listening to you and I'm just going with my Bible and I do study my Bible and I just don't read it I read every word of it I don't put any other words in there I read the Bible the words of the Lord Jesus Christ God bless you

[@johnhenrick2298]

There are preachers, and there are anointed preachers, and Gary is one of the latter. A man called by God to preach His holy Word. I accepted Jesus at the end of 1980 and have listened to, and read, many preachers, and I think Gary is among the best.

I praise God for someone that understands and teaches the Word correctly through the Holy Spirit. Not once have you said one word that is not according to God’s Holy Word and that my Spirit did not witnessed to. You stand on the Word and don’t ever say anything that is against it. Praise God for your obedience to Him. Thank you very much. We give God all the Glory and Praise for His True. Word. Just remember the Evil One is not happy therefore some negative comments. Pray for there blind eyes to Open and to see Jesus as the only Savjour who died for us but now is alive for ever and ever for He is Eternal in Him is life eternal life . ✝️✝️✝️

What a wonderful word. Thankyou Lord for your mercy. Please Lord save our children and family. Holy Spirit please convict them ❤❤❤

[@JEBBY123IFY]

I love your preaching! It moves me to tears and that's what I miss about alter calls and praying. So many churches here don't have that and it's sad. They start off saying " well only keep you for about 50 minutes" I think that's sad as they are mega church with all the best dressed and wealthy and spend an hr in the lobby coffee bar before and after, talking to eachother. I sat sobbing in a hoodie hiding my eyes and stayed in my seat to pray and two security guards came to me...I don't think Jesus would do that. I walked out and stood five feet from the pastor talking to some woman about kids and I waited to hopefully talk to him, he looked at me turned and walked away. Didn't even know that he'd baptized me a few years before and I moved away, ended up getting divorced loosing my career as a nurse from injury, husband left, I came back home, and he walked away...I'm thankful for your passion and knowledge and being in KZbin! God bless you!🕊️ Now I'm dying, alone, and I wish I had a pastor to talk to on the phone. Wish I could talk to you!!

[@veronicakanini7684]

May the lord see you through. Am moved to tears. Hugs for you darling. Watch the book of Daniel from the church archive. Am sure you will get a better answer to why God allowed you go through all these.

[@Salay3]

Even you’re alone but know that Jesus Christ is with you all the way, even after life we the believers have an eternal life. God is closed to the broken hearted. Even your tears God keep in heaven. Just repent and invite Jesus to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

[@carolyncox7694]

Always a powerful message presented so clearly & caringly by Pastor Gary 😇

[@rabie40]

Yes Jesus did suffer torment in Hell, and was raised afterwards. He is our substitution, so it's only logical that he suffered there and paid the price so we wouldn't have too. ALL the wages have been paid(not only physically but spiritually too) , as long as we believe in Him🙏🙏.

[@user-le4fh5ub5y]

This minister is the best pastor I have listened to since we moved from our little country church to the City. His sermon about our culture today and what it is doing to influence our children was absolutely so informative and the comparison to the Bible scriptures describing this happening was unbelievable in a wonderful way. We - America - need to have a world full of pastors like him. To those people who do not really keep track of what is really going on in our schools and education systems today should have their eyes opened up and he does this. Also his sermon on Life after Death is also the greatest! I am so glad I happened to listen to these services today and I thank you so very very much. Sincerely, Mary Ann

[@tims.wagner2839]

I am so thankful to have found your sermons, especially this one which made such a beautiful, simple truth come so alive for me.. being raised in Episcopal church, I had always had questions about heaven and hell and paradise, and I am thrilled to have had those questions answered by you

Could you kindly explain God's pre-destination, in which I believe? Thank you for your teachings, many things are explained by them.. Praise the Name of our Savior.

[@rocketscientisttoo]

Predestination is where God is God and determines everything, after all He was wise enough and powerful enough to create everything . Man has nothing to do with salvation, except maybe to point the way to Jesus. God will either soften a person's heart and open that person's eyes to the Gospel or He won't; but that's His choice.

[@nikkygovier3783]

I read a powerful account of a man who survived an horrific knife attack by a fellow tenant who had mental health issues. He was repeatedly stabbed. He departed from his body. He felt cocooned in God's love. Angels were present offering comfort and support. He survived the horrendous violent assault and wanted people to know that no one dies alone. All those, suffering in anguish that a loved one died alone and frightened.... Please accept the grace of God. Your loved ones weren't alone. They were supported by God's Angels. To the human eye they were seen to be in pain and fear, but know that their spirit had already departed

[@lamonthicks9555]

Wow man that was so enlightening...

[@joek511]

And there is nobody left in paradise to speak to. The rich man looks up and asks, is anybody there, hello, please, somebody (nothing), nobody , he is stuck in his torment. Before Christ he could talk to anybody in paradise ....not anymore. I hope you get the point, it is total separation from God and all who believed

[@TeresaLS1063]

Gary is a great teacher, enjoy his sermons! However, I can’t say I agree that this was not a parable. I believe we all sleep until Judgement Day. ALL will be judged! If people are in Hades tormented now it just wouldn’t seem right! many deserve it of course! As to an eternal soul, that can never ”die” it’s hard to think that someone, who never had an opportunity to hear God’s Word or Salvation would go to hell for eternal torment! Those that reject him I understand! Back to Eternally tormented, why? I’m struggling with that! If I’m wrong please give me insight.

[@stevenwithaph9785]

The rich man was still considering lazareth his servant even in hell.

[@knoxbird1]

Mark 4:34 - The New International Version (NIV) 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

“Death maybe inevitable, but your destination is your choice” Please choose LIFE! “9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

[@dennisnathaniel1799]

Pastor Hamrick. I am little confused on one Bible fact you presented in your sermon on the story of Richman and Lazarus given by Jesus. That All the Souls and Spirits in the Paradise section of Hades were taken to Heaven by Jesus. The Bible also says that ONLY Jesus and Angels of God YHWH live in Heaven. Another Bible Fact is that Jesus comes in the Heavenly Clouds in the Air and the Souls and Spirits of the Saved and Redeemed followers of Jesus and YHWH will be Resurrected from the Earth (from where on Earth?) to meet Jesus in the Air when He returns. These are TWO different Bible facts. I am confused. Pastor Hamrick could you please clarify? Thanks. Dennis Nathaniel August 23, 2022

[@IsaacNussbaum]

Pastor Hamrick can't clarify his claims, Dennis, because he is simply wrong. You, on the other hand are right, and you have a good start on being able to defend your (very Biblical) point of view. I commend you.
