Overview: Aim- To confidently preach Jesus and His resurrection-as the faithful church.----Doctrine- Sometimes churchmen may use the devil's ''tricks'' against him, and though this involves ''dividing and conquering,'' for us, it must always be based in Christ's gospel truth.----Exegesis- The logical flow of the setting of ideologues against one another- first, the resurrection must be boldly proclaimed -vv. 6-8-- then, chaos breaks-out -in the hearts of unbelievers- -vv. 9-10-- finally, Jesus Himself encourages and strengthens His faithful servants -v. 11-.----Further application- How the true church should emulate Paul's ''confusing of the devil''- by challenging sinners' religious notions with the truth about who Jesus Christ really is.----Key verses- vv. 6-7 ''Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, 'Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.' And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.''
