    Eternal Life

     | 9,549 views

    Each of God's children will spend eternity in either Heaven or in Hell.

    Text: “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned” (John 5:24). The word “eternal” means everlasting, never-ending, timeless, or ceaseless. How many of you would like to live in these earthly bodies ...read more

    Belief In The Resurrection Of The Dead

    Contributed by Sajeev Painunkal, Sj on Nov 6, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,644 views

    The Sadducees try to ridicule Jesus with a stupid question about what happens in heaven. The answer of Jesus is not about the how but they why. If we don't believe in a life after death, we will have no purpose for our life on earth.

    People sometimes ask stupid questions. They know it is stupid; but they ask them anyway. When somebody asks a stupid question, we can assume that either they are too naïve, or they are sarcastic. And most of the time they are not naïve; they are trying to make us look foolish trying to answer ...read more

    Avoiding The Distortions

    Contributed by Colin Thornby on Nov 6, 2010

     | 3,119 views

    Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

    One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

    When we keep the focus on the central issue the side issues become less tricky. For followers of Jesus the central issue is resurrection life.

    Trick Questions - Probing Answers Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,641 views

    Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up, but his answers back reveal much about the human character and how many of us "play" church.

    In a way this chapter is a direct attack against Jesus’ authority as the King and Messiah He has just claimed to be. They were not engaging in a verbal dialogue to discern the truth, they were engaged in verbal warfare in a public relations game to discredit Jesus and eventually kill him. Verses ...read more

    Looking ahead to a new temple, a new kind of existence, and the promise of a new home in heaven.

    Haggai 1:15-2:9 First, a Remembered Prominence…. In our Old Testament reading from Haggai we see that the Jewish believers in that day began to think all was lost, especially when they compared the beautiful temple of Solomon with the ruins around them now. But the prophet tells them that ...read more

    Sadducees disagreed--with nearly everybody. They had their version of the Torah, much like the Samaritans. So the question must be asked; want to argue or be "all in" the service of our God?

    Message November 10, 2013 All In A man opens his eyes and realizes he’s in front of St. Peter at the pearly gates. Immediately St. Peter said, “It’s not so easy getting into heaven. There are some criteria to be met before entering. “For example,” Peter said, ...read more

    Marriage And Sex The Ultimate Curve Ball

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jan 2, 2014
     | 4,905 views

    This is a sermon about the after life and the view that Marriage is practice for loving God. The Sermon looks at the responsibility of church leaders to not get sidelined by folks trying to use spin to keep them from focusing on loving God.

    The resurrection is real and Jesus, the Son of the Living God, will prove its reality in less than a week. God is the God of the Living not the dead.

    LUKE 20: 27-39 [JESUS’ LAST WEEK SERIES] SONS OF THE RESURRECTION Here is the final attempt in Luke to confound Jesus by arguments. It is only here that Luke’s gospel mentions the Sadducees.

    when dealing with trick questions, one needs to attack the basis of the question rather than trying to answer the question.

    Whose Wife is She? Luke 20:27-38 There is more to a question than the question itself. Sometimes they aren’t really looking for an answer. The classic question of this sort is “When did you stop beating your wife?” One immediately sees the trap in this question. No matter how one answers the ...read more
