In this powerful sermon, “The Chasm Fixed by Unbelief” (Luke 16:19–31), Pastor David Balla proclaims the sobering parable of the rich man and Lazarus for the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 21, Series C). Discover the eternal reality of heaven and hell, the unbridgeable gulf created by sin, and the hope found only in Jesus Christ. This Christ-centered Lutheran sermon explores the Law and Gospel with clarity, calling hearers to repentance and faith in the Savior who has bridged the chasm by His cross and resurrection.
Whether you are searching for solid biblical preaching, Lutheran sermons, expository messages, or insights on Luke 16, this sermon will strengthen your faith and point you to Christ’s gifts in Word and Sacrament. Pastor Balla proclaims that wealth, works, and human effort cannot span the gulf of sin—only Christ crucified and risen gives peace, forgiveness, and eternal life.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
