Title: Know The Promise and Power of God

Main Idea: Yahweh powerfully keeps His promise of resurrection life to his covenant people.

1. Yahweh's promises are distorted when his Word is denied or misunderstood. (vv. 23-28)

Daniel 12:2-3

1 Corinthians 15:12-14

Deuteronomy 25:5-6

2. Yahweh's power guarantees a promised resurrection life beyond our present experience. (vv. 29-30)

1 Corinthians 2:9

1 Corinthians 15:35-39

3. Yahweh's covenant faithfulness guarantees that death will not defeat his promises. (vv. 31-33)

Exodus 3:6

Philippians 3:8-11, 20-21

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Questions for prayer, meditation, discussion, and application:

- Jesus rebukes the Sadducees for knowing neither the Scriptures nor God's power. How might we fall into these errors, and how can we grow in knowing God's Word and trusting His power?

- When life is painful or disappointing, how do we struggle to trust God's promises? What truths from Scripture help us fight that unbelief?

- How should the certainty of our resurrection and Christ's return shape how we use our time and build up one another?
