Dunstable Draws Nearer
/We all say, "thank you", to Leon for his first ever sermon last Sunday. And what a cracker it was! Check it out on our YouTube channel if you haven't already heard it. Don't forget you can also hear it on our new podcast. Just search for Watford Church of Christ in iTunes or similar.
This Sunday we are at the school as usual. But the following week we are on an adventure to Dunstable Downs! More details next week, but pray for good weather in the meantime.
This Sunday the passage for the sermon is Luke 20.27-40:
Luke 20:27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” Luke 20:34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” Luke 20:39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
