What does it look like to trust that this life is not the end, and that God is the God of the living? In this message from Luke 20:27-40, Pastor Billy explores Jesus’ encounter with the Sadducees, their challenge concerning the resurrection, and Jesus’ powerful declaration that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Jesus exposes their attempt to reshape Scripture around their own assumptions while revealing the hope of a future resurrection and a life with God that is far greater than anything we can fully imagine. As Jesus points us toward the reality of heaven, He reminds us that death is not the end for those who belong to Him and that what awaits us is not loss, but gain. But the passage also challenges us to approach God’s Word as students rather than editors, allowing Scripture to shape our lives instead of reshaping Scripture to fit our preferences. If you’ve ever wrestled with what happens after death, wondered what heaven will be like, or struggled with the parts of Scripture that challenge you, this message is for you.
