Our God of the Living

This Sunday we welcome back to Hope Pastor Ted Peters. His message is titled “Our God of the Living” (Luke 20:27-38). In this text from the Gospel of Luke, Jesus responds to questions from the Sadducees by teaching about God. In our heavenly father all are alive and in him all relationships are fulfilled.
