Unfeigned Faith
It is my objective to look into our text and find a positive declaration about faith and a few people who embraced it. But we will also find a description of this faith. By both of these points I hope to challenge everyone present.

Of the many indicators which signal a Christian's level of maturity and passion, I focus on one today - the Christian's approach to the Word of God.
Our passage details the death of two people. My objective is to review the story of our text, with the intention you would examine your heart and see how you fare. Glean some lessons from the rich man of our text.
The Bible speaks of several who have died and came back to life. But Jesus is the first to die and rise again, NEVER to die again. I submit unto you the resurrection of Jesus Christ is indeed important.
It is my objective to review the story in our text while zeroing in on the condition of the man who received healing. Though he gained physical sight, and had pretty good assessment of Jesus, he remained spiritually blind. How tragic.
My objective is to refresh the memory of those who profess Christianity, that although it is hot and humid outside, we should keep in mind who we are and Whose we are. As Christians, we should have a concern about how we dress. I am certain that God takes notice. May we learn to possess modesty in dress.
My objective is to glean from the biblical record, recognizing the warning to America, with the intent of provoking response which would result in revival in this land. I point out to you the consequences of national sin.
It is my objective to remind you that God sees and knows all things; that He has complete ability to do anything He chooses to do; and, that He not only sees and can do, He also cares. Especially, note that God is a big God Who cares about little things.
My objective is to share the "word of the Lord" with you. If you are not yet saved, may you hear and believe. For you who are already saved, may this be a glorious reminder of God's grace and mercy in your life.
I submit to you that each of us who have been saved, ought to live a life which exemplifies Christ. We should desire to live Christian lives. It is my objective to look into our text and discern what a good, solid, Christian example is.
