The nation of Israel rebel against God after hearing the report of the spies. Israel, having clear knowledge and first hand experience of who God is and His power still resist trusting in Him. We explore what it means to truly believe in God.

After Jesus is asked about the resurrection, a pharisee attempted to ask another question about which commandment is the greatest in hopes to test Jesus. Jesus responds saying "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself..." In this we see a need to balance our personal pursuit of God with our cares for our neighbors.

The Sadducees who do not believe in the resurrection form a question to try to trick Jesus in what they think is the absurdity of life beyond death. Jesus' response leaves them in awe as He reveals their great misunderstanding of the heavenly realm and the power of God.

We are instructed by Paul in the book of Galatians of a war between our flesh and the Spirit. We find here an imperative to walk by the Spirit and not to gratify the desires of the flesh. We are to do this through the power of Christ crucified, by putting to death the desires and passions of the flesh and saturating our lives with scripture and fellowship with one another.
