Jesse Lockhart 8-9-26-am

Jesse Lockhart – 8‑9‑26 AM ServiceIn the morning message, Brother Jesse preaches from Luke 16 on the rich man and Lazarus, drawing the congregation into the sobering reality of hell and the urgency of repentance. He describes the rich man’s torment—lifting his eyes in flame, begging for mercy, pleading for Lazarus to cool his tongue—and reminds listeners that hell is still real, still populated, and still filled with cries no earthly ear has ever heard. He stresses that many today assume they’re going to heaven, yet may face the shock of hearing, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” The rich man’s desperate request for someone to warn his brothers becomes a picture of the unseen prayer meeting happening in hell right now, where souls plead that others would repent and avoid their fate. Brother Jesse warns that people reject the gospel, picking and choosing what they want to hear, ignoring the law that reveals sin and the grace that saves. He shows how Moses and the prophets point to Christ, and how even miracles or someone rising from the dead would not persuade those who refuse the Word. He speaks of Jonah, Nineveh, judgment, and the need to remove sin from the camp like Achan, reminding the church that every person will give account before God. The message presses deeply: salvation requires repentance, obedience, and living the gospel—not merely hearing it—and the stakes are eternal.
