What The Hell?
Mar 30, 2025 • Reverend Patrick Collins
Greetings Friends,
We don’t often talk about the modern concept of hell much at First Church—and for good reason. Jesus mentioned it only a few times in Matthew, and our reading this week from Luke includes a reference to Hades. However, the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus wasn’t unique to Jesus; it was a retelling of an ancient Jewish fable. Yet, it still speaks volumes about how we are called to treat one another.
I hope you’ll join us this Sunday for a thought-provoking conversation on life after death.
Grace & Peace,
Patrick
