First Cary UMC's First Sanctuary Sermon – Rev. Ben Alexander – November 23, 2025

Scripture: Luke 16:19-31

Jesus tells a story that turns our world upside down. An unnamed man of status ignores a downtrodden man named Lazarus in this world.  But in the afterlife, it is Lazarus who finds comfort and the unnamed man faces agony. Jesus uses this story to call us to a life on earth that is not about our own comfort, but about striving to see and bless those on the margins.
