Luke 20:27-38
27 Then some Sadducees, who say that people will not rise from death, came to Jesus
and said, 28 “Teacher, Moses wrote this law for us: ‘If a man dies and leaves a wife but
no children, that man's brother must marry the widow so that they can have children
who will be considered the dead man's children.’ 29 Once there were seven brothers;
the oldest got married and died without having children. 30 Then the second one
married the woman, 31 and then the third. The same thing happened to all seven—they
died without having children. 32 Last of all, the woman died. 33 Now, on the day when
the dead rise to life, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her.”
34 Jesus answered them, “The men and women of this age marry, 35 but the men and
women who are worthy to rise from death and live in the age to come will not then
marry. 36 They will be like angels and cannot die. They are the children of God, because
they have risen from death. 37 And Moses clearly proves that the dead are raised to life.
In the passage about the burning bush he speaks of the Lord as ‘the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 He is the God of the living, not of the dead,
for to him all are alive.”

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER
Sovereign of Creation,all that we have comes from you. We gather in your
presence, surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, people from every tribe
and nation, every kindred and tongue, to lift our voices in praise, to be transformed
into your saints, to be sent out to gather others to share the eternal banquet.
Receive the praise we offer, work in us and through us. You alone are holy, you
alone are the Most High, you alone are worthy of our praise. Glory to you, O God,
and to the Lamb, our Shepherd, and to the Spirit that unites us all, today and ever
more. Amen.
