Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Andrew Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Guttenberg, IA and St. Paul Lutheran Church in McGregor, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Mark 12:18-27. Jesus faces yet another challenge during the early days of Holy Week. The Sadducees, who deny the resurrection and only hold to the five books of Moses, come to Jesus with a case study concerning levirate marriage. They cannot see how their scenario is compatible with the resurrection. Jesus bluntly tells them that they know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. They are looking at the Bible as a mere rule book and do not see the God who reveals Himself in His Word. Jesus teaches them the truth concerning the nature of eternal life, in which death has no more dominion. He further reveals the central truth of who God is. The one true God is the God of the living, which means that all who are His people will rise from the dead. “The Gospel in Action” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel according to St. Mark.
