Mid Cities OPC

Rev. Joe Troutman

9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Rev. Joe Troutman

7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

Rev. Joe Troutman

6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Rev. Joe Troutman

3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

Rev. Joe Troutman

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rev. Joe Troutman

On Sunday, November 27, 2011, Pastor Joe Troutman preached, "The God of the Living" from Matthew 22:23-33.

"The Resurrection of the Dead is taught in both the Old and New Testaments, but it is based on Jesus's own resurrection from the dead."

1. The Question (vs. 23-28)

23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

2. The Answer to the Question They Asked (vs. 29-30)

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 

3. The Answer to the Question They Didn't Ask (vs. 31-33)

31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
