In this sermon on Luke 20:27-40, Pastor Roy Henry unpacks Jesus’ interaction with the Sadducees, who attempt to trap Him with a rigged question. Jesus responds with a rectifying answer, first by revealing a deeper theological truth about life in the resurrection, then by grounding His response in Scripture to clarify their misconceptions. Ultimately, this passage highlights a resurrection reality: God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. This truth offers profound hope and calls believers to live for God now, empowered by the promise of resurrection life. Earthly thinking may obscure eternal truths, but Scripture reorients us to live fully to Him.
