We have to get our information about eternity from a reliable source.

Pastor Greg Laurie looks to the Bible for the truth about hell.

There's a lot of misinformation about hell.

That hell is a party place, you know, just get together with your friends and it's one long party.

That the devil rules from hell.

And the devil has red skin, pointed ears, a pitch fork and horns and hooves and a tail with a point, right?

None of that is biblical.

This is the day when the lost are found.

There are things we don't like to talk about in polite company, politics of course,

about embarrassing moments, the troubled past.

Most times we didn't tell the truth, the date that went very badly.

Now the top of the list would have to be death and the existence of hell.

But today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie points out our knowledge of hell may be dangerously limited

or worse yet influenced by all the things we've heard in books or on TV or movies.

We'll get the truth today.

We are in the Gospel of Luke chapter 16.

So turn there with me if you would Luke chapter 16.

We're in a little series right now where we're talking about eternal things.

We talked about heaven.
