  Here's
• 0:54
  today's
• 0:55
  reading
• 0:56
  and
• 0:57
  we're
• 0:57
  reading
• 0:57
  today
• 0:58
  from
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  Gospel
• 0:58
  of
• 0:59
  Matthew
• 0:59
  22:23
• 1:01
  33
• 1:03
  from
• 1:04
  the
• 1:04
  Message
• 1:05
  Marriage
• 1:05
  and
• 1:06
  Resurrection.
• 1:07
  That
• 1:07
  same
• 1:08
  day,
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  Sadducees
• 1:09
  approached
• 1:09
  him.
• 1:09
  This
• 1:09
  is
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  party
• 1:10
  that
• 1:10
  denies
• 1:11
  any
• 1:11
  possibility
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  resurrection.
• 1:13
  And
• 1:13
  they
• 1:14
  asked
• 1:14
  Teacher
• 1:14
  Moses
• 1:15
  said
• 1:15
  that
• 1:15
  if
• 1:16
  any
• 1:16
  man
• 1:16
  dies
• 1:17
  childless,
• 1:18
  his
• 1:19
  brother
• 1:19
  is
• 1:19
  obligated
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  marry
• 1:20
  his
• 1:20
  widow
• 1:20
  and
• 1:21
  father
• 1:21
  a
• 1:21
  child
• 1:21
  with
• 1:21
  her.
• 1:23
  Here's
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  case
• 1:24
  where
• 1:24
  there
• 1:25
  were
• 1:25
  seven
• 1:25
  brothers
• 1:25
  and
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  first
• 1:26
  brother
• 1:26
  married
• 1:27
  and
• 1:27
  died,
• 1:27
  leaving
• 1:28
  no
• 1:28
  child,
• 1:29
  and
• 1:29
  his
• 1:30
  wife
• 1:30
  was
• 1:30
  passed
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  his
• 1:31
  brother.
• 1:31
  The
• 1:31
  second
• 1:32
  brother
• 1:32
  also
• 1:33
  left
• 1:33
  her
• 1:34
  child
• 1:34
  as
• 1:34
  then
• 1:34
  the
• 1:35
  third,
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  on
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  on,
• 1:36
  all
• 1:36
  seven.
• 1:37
  Eventually
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  wife
• 1:38
  died.
• 1:39
  Now
• 1:39
  here's
• 1:39
  our
• 1:39
  question.
• 1:40
  At
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  resurrection,
• 1:42
  whose
• 1:43
  wife
• 1:43
  is
• 1:44
  she?
• 1:45
  She
• 1:46
  was
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  wife
• 1:46
  to
• 1:47
  each
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  them.
• 1:47
  And
• 1:48
  Jesus
• 1:48
  answered,
• 1:48
  you're
• 1:49
  off
• 1:49
  base
• 1:49
  on
• 1:49
  two
• 1:50
  counts.
• 1:51
  You
• 1:51
  don't
• 1:52
  know
• 1:52
  what
• 1:52
  God
• 1:52
  said
• 1:52
  and
• 1:53
  you
• 1:53
  don't
• 1:53
  know
• 1:53
  how
• 1:53
  God
• 1:54
  works.
• 1:54
  At
• 1:54
  the
• 1:54
  resurrection,
• 1:55
  we're
• 1:56
  beyond
• 1:56
  marriage.
• 1:57
  As
• 1:57
  with
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  angels,
• 1:58
  all
• 1:59
  our
• 1:59
  ecstasies
• 1:59
  and
• 2:00
  intimacies
• 2:01
  then
• 2:01
  will
• 2:01
  be
• 2:01
  with
• 2:01
  God.
• 2:02
  And
• 2:02
  regarding
• 2:03
  your
• 2:03
  speculation
• 2:04
  on
• 2:04
  whether
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  dead
• 2:05
  are
• 2:05
  raised
• 2:05
  or
• 2:05
  not,
• 2:06
  don't
• 2:06
  you
• 2:06
  read
• 2:06
  your
• 2:07
  Bibles?
• 2:07
  The
• 2:07
  grammar
• 2:08
  is
• 2:08
  clear.
• 2:08
  God
• 2:09
  says
• 2:09
  I
• 2:10
  am
• 2:11
  not.
• 2:11
  Was
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  God
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  Abraham,
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  God
• 2:15
  of
• 2:15
  Isaac,
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  God
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  Jacob?
• 2:17
  The
• 2:18
  living
• 2:18
  God
• 2:18
  defines
• 2:19
  himself
• 2:19
  not
• 2:19
  as
• 2:19
  the
• 2:20
  God
• 2:20
  of
• 2:20
  dead
• 2:20
  men,
• 2:20
  but
• 2:21
  of
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  living.
• 2:22
  Hearing
• 2:22
  this
• 2:22
  exchange,
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  crowd
• 2:24
  was
• 2:24
  much
• 2:26
  impressed.
• 2:27
  Well,
• 2:28
  my
• 2:28
  friends,
• 2:28
  that
• 2:28
  ends
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  reading.
• 2:29
  I'm
• 2:29
  glad
• 2:30
  you're
• 2:30
  back
• 2:30
  with
• 2:30
  me
• 2:31
  here
• 2:31
  on
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  Daily
• 2:31
  Bible
• 2:32
  Refresh.
• 2:32
  And
• 2:33
  whether
• 2:33
  you're
• 2:33
  having
• 2:34
  a
• 2:34
  cup
• 2:34
  of
• 2:34
  coffee
• 2:34
  or
• 2:34
  out
• 2:35
  on
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  walk
• 2:35
  or
• 2:36
  maybe
• 2:36
  on
• 2:36
  a
• 2:36
  wooded
• 2:37
  trail,
• 2:38
  let's
• 2:38
  spend
• 2:39
  some
• 2:39
  time
• 2:39
  together
• 2:40
  and
• 2:40
  just
• 2:41
  focus
• 2:41
  on
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  Scriptures
• 2:42
  here
• 2:42
  today.
• 2:42
  So
• 2:43
  right
• 2:43
  off
• 2:43
  the
• 2:44
  bat,
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  Sadducees
• 2:45
  show
• 2:45
  up
• 2:46
  with
• 2:46
  what
• 2:46
  might
• 2:46
  be
• 2:48
  possibly
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  most
• 2:50
  elaborate
• 2:51
  theological
• 2:52
  trap
• 2:53
  that
• 2:53
  we
• 2:53
  find
• 2:53
  in
• 2:53
  the
• 2:54
  entire
• 2:54
  New
• 2:55
  Testament.
• 2:56
  This
• 2:56
  question
• 2:56
  about
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  seven
• 2:57
  brothers
• 2:57
  and
• 2:58
  one
• 2:58
  widow,
• 2:58
  and
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  question
• 2:59
  about
• 2:59
  whose
• 3:00
  wife
• 3:00
  shall
• 3:00
  be
• 3:01
  in
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  resurrection.
• 3:02
  It's
• 3:02
  an
• 3:03
  ancient
• 3:03
  version
• 3:04
  of
• 3:04
  someone
• 3:04
  walking
• 3:05
  into
• 3:05
  an
• 3:05
  argument
• 3:05
  armed
• 3:06
  with
• 3:06
  a
• 3:07
  17
• 3:07
  step
• 3:08
  hypothetical
• 3:08
  situation.
• 3:09
  I
• 3:10
  think
• 3:10
  you
• 3:10
  know
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  type
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  people
• 3:11
  who
• 3:11
  are
• 3:12
  really
• 3:12
  just
• 3:12
  trying
• 3:12
  to
• 3:12
  trap
• 3:13
  you.
• 3:14
  Let's
• 3:14
  get
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  points
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  ponder
• 3:15
  that
• 3:16
  Jesus
• 3:16
  dealt
• 3:17
  with
• 3:17
  here.
• 3:17
  The
• 3:18
  first
• 3:18
  point
• 3:18
  is
• 3:19
  theological
• 3:20
  humility
• 3:21
  beats
• 3:22
  religious
• 3:22
  certainty.
• 3:24
  Jesus
• 3:24
  doesn't
• 3:25
  just
• 3:25
  field
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  question,
• 3:26
  he
• 3:27
  calls
• 3:27
  the
• 3:27
  entire
• 3:27
  frame
• 3:28
  out.
• 3:29
  You're
• 3:30
  off
• 3:30
  base
• 3:30
  on
• 3:30
  two
• 3:31
  counts,
• 3:31
  he
• 3:31
  says.
• 3:32
  You
• 3:32
  don't
• 3:33
  know
• 3:33
  what
• 3:33
  God
• 3:33
  said
• 3:33
  and
• 3:33
  you
• 3:34
  don't
• 3:34
  know
• 3:34
  how
• 3:34
  God
• 3:34
  works.
• 3:35
  That's
• 3:35
  a
• 3:35
  bold
• 3:36
  statement,
• 3:36
  isn't
• 3:36
  it,
• 3:37
  directed
• 3:38
  at
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  religious
• 3:38
  scholars
• 3:40
  of
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  day.
• 3:41
  And
• 3:41
  here's
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  progressive
• 3:42
  takeaway
• 3:43
  from
• 3:43
  this
• 3:43
  scripture.
• 3:44
  Our
• 3:44
  certainty
• 3:45
  can
• 3:45
  sometimes
• 3:46
  become
• 3:46
  our
• 3:46
  biggest
• 3:47
  spiritual
• 3:48
  obstacle.
• 3:49
  When
• 3:49
  we
• 3:49
  show
• 3:49
  up
• 3:50
  with
• 3:50
  all
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  answers
• 3:50
  already
• 3:51
  locked
• 3:51
  in,
• 3:52
  we
• 3:52
  close
• 3:52
  ourselves
• 3:53
  off
• 3:53
  from
• 3:53
  actually
• 3:54
  encountering
• 3:54
  God
• 3:55
  in
• 3:55
  a
• 3:56
  fresh
• 3:56
  way.
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  think
• 3:58
  about
• 3:58
  this
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  lot
• 3:58
  with
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  other
• 3:59
  podcast
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  do,
• 4:00
  which
• 4:00
  is
• 4:01
  focused
• 4:01
  on
• 4:01
  helping
• 4:01
  people
• 4:02
  impacted
• 4:03
  by
• 4:03
  cancer
• 4:03
  with
• 4:04
  hope
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  humor.
• 4:05
  And
• 4:05
  I
• 4:05
  get
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  sit
• 4:06
  with
• 4:06
  people
• 4:06
  going
• 4:07
  through
• 4:07
  very
• 4:07
  hard
• 4:08
  moments
• 4:08
  in
• 4:08
  their
• 4:08
  life,
• 4:09
  and
• 4:10
  I
• 4:10
  could
• 4:10
  tell
• 4:10
  you
• 4:10
  what
• 4:10
  I've
• 4:10
  learned
• 4:11
  over
• 4:11
  and
• 4:11
  over
• 4:11
  again.
• 4:11
  People
• 4:11
  in
• 4:12
  those
• 4:12
  moments
• 4:12
  don't
• 4:12
  need
• 4:13
  someone
• 4:13
  with
• 4:14
  some
• 4:14
  sort
• 4:14
  of
• 4:15
  airtight
• 4:15
  theological
• 4:16
  answer.
• 4:16
  They
• 4:16
  need
• 4:17
  someone
• 4:17
  willing
• 4:17
  to
• 4:18
  sit
• 4:18
  in
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  questions
• 4:19
  with
• 4:20
  them.
• 4:21
  So
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  faith
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  can
• 4:22
  hold
• 4:22
  things
• 4:22
  loosely
• 4:23
  is
• 4:23
  often
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  most
• 4:23
  honest
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  most
• 4:25
  healing
• 4:26
  faith
• 4:26
  of
• 4:26
  all.
• 4:28
  Point
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  ponder
• 4:29
  number
• 4:29
  two,
• 4:29
  God
• 4:29
  is
• 4:30
  present
• 4:30
  tense.
• 4:32
  Here
• 4:32
  is
• 4:33
  where
• 4:33
  Jesus
• 4:33
  does
• 4:34
  something
• 4:34
  really
• 4:34
  beautiful.
• 4:35
  He
• 4:35
  says,
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  proof
• 4:36
  of
• 4:36
  resurrection
• 4:37
  isn't
• 4:37
  something,
• 4:38
  is
• 4:38
  some
• 4:38
  complex
• 4:39
  philosophical
• 4:40
  argument.
• 4:41
  It's
• 4:41
  a
• 4:42
  verb
• 4:42
  tense.
• 4:42
  Did
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  get
• 4:43
  that?
• 4:43
  God
• 4:44
  says,
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  am
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  God
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  Abraham,
• 4:47
  Isaac
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  Jacob,
• 4:48
  not
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  was.
• 4:49
  It's
• 4:50
  present,
• 4:50
  it's
• 4:51
  active,
• 4:51
  it's
• 4:51
  living
• 4:52
  right
• 4:52
  now.
• 4:53
  So
• 4:53
  the
• 4:54
  living
• 4:54
  God
• 4:54
  is
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  God
• 4:55
  of
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  living.
• 4:56
  I've
• 4:57
  been
• 4:57
  married
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  my
• 4:58
  wonderful
• 4:58
  wife
• 4:58
  for
• 4:58
  over
• 4:58
  34
• 4:59
  years,
• 4:59
  and
• 5:00
  real
• 5:00
  love
• 5:00
  isn't
• 5:00
  just
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  past
• 5:02
  memory
• 5:02
  or
• 5:02
  a
• 5:03
  future
• 5:03
  promise.
• 5:04
  It's
• 5:05
  what
• 5:05
  are
• 5:05
  you
• 5:05
  doing
• 5:05
  right
• 5:05
  now
• 5:07
  in
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  daily
• 5:08
  ordinary?
• 5:09
  Sometimes
• 5:09
  the
• 5:10
  messy
• 5:10
  middle
• 5:10
  of
• 5:11
  things.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  know,
• 5:13
  when
• 5:13
  I
• 5:13
  have
• 5:13
  a
• 5:14
  good
• 5:14
  time
• 5:14
  with
• 5:14
  my
• 5:14
  wife
• 5:14
  or
• 5:14
  when
• 5:15
  I'm
• 5:15
  laughing
• 5:15
  with
• 5:15
  my
• 5:15
  granddaughters,
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  I
• 5:17
  mean
• 5:18
  laughing,
• 5:18
  because
• 5:19
  we
• 5:19
  usually
• 5:19
  have
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  lot
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  good
• 5:20
  fun
• 5:20
  together,
• 5:21
  playing
• 5:21
  and
• 5:22
  telling
• 5:22
  dumb
• 5:23
  jokes.
• 5:25
  That
• 5:25
  makes
• 5:26
  me
• 5:26
  happy.
• 5:26
  There's
• 5:26
  something
• 5:27
  gloriously
• 5:27
  alive
• 5:28
  in
• 5:28
  that,
• 5:28
  isn't
• 5:29
  there,
• 5:29
  in
• 5:30
  those
• 5:30
  moments.
• 5:30
  And
• 5:30
  it
• 5:30
  feels
• 5:31
  like
• 5:31
  that
• 5:32
  can
• 5:32
  only
• 5:32
  point
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  who
• 5:33
  God
• 5:34
  is
• 5:36
  right
• 5:36
  now.
• 5:37
  So
• 5:37
  progressive
• 5:38
  Christianity
• 5:38
  leans
• 5:38
  into
• 5:39
  this.
• 5:39
  Our
• 5:39
  faith
• 5:39
  isn't
• 5:40
  just
• 5:40
  about
• 5:40
  what
• 5:40
  happens
• 5:41
  after
• 5:41
  we
• 5:41
  die?
• 5:42
  It's
• 5:43
  about
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  God
• 5:43
  who
• 5:44
  shows
• 5:44
  up
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  middle
• 5:44
  of
• 5:45
  your
• 5:45
  day
• 5:47
  today.
• 5:48
  So
• 5:48
  here's
• 5:48
  your
• 5:48
  action
• 5:49
  step.
• 5:50
  Sometime
• 5:50
  today,
• 5:51
  as
• 5:52
  in
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  next
• 5:52
  24
• 5:52
  hours,
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  want
• 5:53
  you
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  pause
• 5:54
  and
• 5:54
  ask
• 5:54
  yourself
• 5:55
  one
• 5:55
  question.
• 5:57
  Where
• 5:57
  do
• 5:57
  I
• 5:58
  see
• 5:58
  God
• 5:58
  right
• 5:59
  now?
• 5:59
  That
• 5:59
  is
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  present
• 6:00
  tense
• 6:01
  God
• 6:01
  right
• 6:01
  now.
• 6:02
  Not
• 6:03
  where
• 6:03
  did
• 6:03
  God
• 6:04
  show
• 6:04
  up
• 6:04
  last
• 6:04
  year
• 6:05
  or
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  my
• 6:05
  childhood
• 6:06
  or
• 6:07
  where
• 6:07
  do
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  see
• 6:08
  God
• 6:08
  going
• 6:09
  next
• 6:09
  year
• 6:09
  or
• 6:10
  some
• 6:10
  other
• 6:11
  point
• 6:11
  in
• 6:11
  my
• 6:11
  life,
• 6:11
  but
• 6:11
  right
• 6:12
  now
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  write
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  down,
• 6:13
  pay
• 6:14
  attention
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  it,
• 6:14
  make
• 6:14
  a
• 6:15
  recording
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  it
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  say
• 6:16
  it
• 6:16
  out
• 6:17
  loud.
• 6:17
  Maybe
• 6:18
  text
• 6:18
  it
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  friend
• 6:18
  or
• 6:19
  make
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  Facebook
• 6:19
  post
• 6:19
  about
• 6:20
  it.
• 6:21
  When
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  name
• 6:22
  where
• 6:22
  God
• 6:22
  is,
• 6:24
  we're
• 6:24
  practicing
• 6:24
  exactly
• 6:25
  what
• 6:25
  Jesus
• 6:26
  pointed
• 6:26
  out
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  Sadducees
• 6:28
  in
• 6:28
  this
• 6:28
  scripture,
• 6:30
  recognizing
• 6:30
  the
• 6:31
  living
• 6:31
  God
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  living
• 6:33
  moments.
• 6:34
  We're
• 6:35
  going
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  come
• 6:35
  back
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  have
• 6:35
  a
• 6:36
  prayer
• 6:36
  here
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  just
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  minute.
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  want
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  know
• 6:38
  that

• 6:50
  Let's
• 6:50
  pray.
• 6:51
  God
• 6:51
  of
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  Living.
• 6:53
  Not
• 6:53
  just
• 6:53
  the
• 6:54
  God
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  ancient
• 6:54
  stories
• 6:55
  or
• 6:55
  distance
• 6:56
  promises,

  but
• 6:57
  the

  God
• 6:58

  right
• 6:58
  now.
• 6:58
  We

  come

  with

  open

  hands
• 7:00
  today.
• 7:00
  We
• 7:01
  confess
• 7:01
  that
• 7:01
  we
• 7:02
  sometimes
• 7:02
  show
• 7:03
  up
• 7:03
  like
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  Sadducees,
• 7:04
  armed
• 7:04
  with
• 7:05
  our
• 7:05
  certainties,
• 7:05
  trying

  you
• 7:06
  fit
• 7:07
  neatly
• 7:07
  into

  our

• 7:09
  So
• 7:09
  forgive
• 7:10
  us
• 7:10
  making
• 7:10
  you
• 7:11
  small.
• 7:11
  Remind

  us
• 7:12
  today

  you
