In this sermon from Mark 12:18-27, Pastor Jim addresses the question of life after death by examining Jesus' interaction with the Sadducees. The Sadducees, who denied the resurrection, attempted to trap Jesus with a hypothetical scenario about a woman who had been married to seven brothers. Jesus responded by correcting their understanding, stating they were wrong because they knew neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. He explained that in the resurrection, people neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.

Jesus then provided biblical proof of the resurrection from the Pentateuch (the only Scripture the Sadducees accepted), citing God's words to Moses at the burning bush: "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Since God spoke of these patriarchs in the present tense, though they had physically died, they must still be alive with God. The sermon concludes with an invitation to consider the reality of life after death and the need for salvation through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and was resurrected, offering eternal life to all who believe in Him.
