"Chosen and Adopted"

Sep 28, 2025  •  Rev. Billy Cerveny

In this moving sermon from Luke 16:19–31, Rev. Billy Cerveny unpacks the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to show us that our true identity is not found in wealth, status, or possessions—but in belonging to God’s family. Through powerful storytelling, personal reflection, and Scripture, he reminds us that the gospel is not about earning our way, but about being chosen and adopted by the grace of God. Rev. Billy invites us to see ourselves not as outsiders or self-made people, but as beloved sons and daughters who bear the name above all names—Jesus Christ.

Scripture Reference: Luke 16:19–31


Key Themes: Adoption, Identity in Christ, Grace, Belonging, God’s Family
