1. In the parable, Jesus gives a name to Lazarus but not to the rich man. What might this suggest about identity and where we find our value? How does this impact your understanding of what truly defines a person?

2. Read verses 24-26. What do we learn about the nature of hell from this passage? How does this challenge common misconceptions or cultural ideas about hell?

3. The Big Idea from the sermon is: "Whatever you make your help becomes who you are." How does this truth play out in both Lazarus’s and the rich man’s stories? What are some things people today might wrongly make their help, and how does that shape their identity?

4. In verses 27-31, the rich man pleads for a miraculous sign to warn his brothers. How does Abraham’s response affirm the sufficiency of Scripture? What does this teach us about faith and belief?

5. Reflect on the statement: “Hell is where people keep the name they made for themselves for all eternity.” What does this mean to you? How does the gospel offer a new name and a new identity in Christ?
