LIFE AFTER DEATH
Luke 16:19-31
In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in life after death. This
4as a subject that folks used to avoid. But now, in recent times, there's more
and more interest in it. Books are written about it. People talk about it on

Now, that was the first story I'd ever heard about life after death.
Somebody who was in and then out. But since then, in pastoring and talking,
