Description

When Jesus is confronted by the Sadducees about the resurrection, His answer is more than a clever response. It is a revelation of who God is. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. His covenant promises do not end at death. They are fulfilled and deepened through the resurrection.


In this sermon, The Rev. Trent Pettit explores what it means that God draws life from death and that His faithfulness outlasts ours. Resurrection is not an escape from creation but God's commitment to redeem it. This is the hope that frees us to live patiently, humbly, and joyfully in Christ, here and now.
