From Google AI Overview
Game/Activity Ideas Based on Luke 20:27-38:
• "You Can't Trick Jesus" Repeat Game: A speaker tells children to repeat everything they say, including a statement that is clearly wrong, to illustrate how the Sadducees tried to trap Jesus with a tricky question.
From Google AI Mode
1. The "Gotcha" Riddle Challenge (Teens/Adults)
• The Premise: This passage is often called the "Gotcha Game" because the Sadducees weren't looking for truth, but to trap Jesus.
• How to Play:
o Split into two teams: The "Questioners" and the "Responders."
o The Questioners must come up with "impossible" hypothetical scenarios about faith or the afterlife (like the seven-brother riddle).
o The Responders must try to answer using only the core principles Jesus used: focusing on God’s power and the "bigger picture" of eternal life rather than earthly rules.
2. "God of the Living" Scavenger Hunt (Children)
• The Premise: Jesus concludes that God is the "God of the living, for to Him all are alive".
• How to Play:
o Hide items around the room that represent "life" or "new beginnings" (e.g., a plastic flower, a butterfly, a toy sun, or a picture of a burning bush).
o As kids find each item, have them share one way they can see God’s "life-giving power" in the world today.
3. The Resurrection Box (Object Lesson/Game)
• The Premise: Jesus explains that heaven is different from what we can imagine—we will be "like angels".
• How to Play:
o Prepare a beautifully wrapped box with items inside that represent Jesus' answer: "wings" (for being like angels), a "crown" (for eternal life), or a "gold cloth" (for God's glory).
o Play a game of "20 Questions" where players have to guess what's inside based on the clues in Luke 20:34-38.

Observation Questions
• The Setup: What specific theological belief did the Sadducees hold that prompted this encounter?
• The Riddle: Based on the Law of Moses (Deuteronomy 25:5), what scenario did they present regarding a woman and seven brothers?
• The Conflict: What was the "trap" or contradiction they were trying to force Jesus into?
• Jesus' Evidence: Why did Jesus use the story of the burning bush and the names of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to prove the resurrection to this specific group?
Interpretation Questions
• Nature of the Afterlife: What does Jesus mean when he says those in the resurrection "neither marry nor are given in marriage"?
• "Equal to Angels": In what ways does Jesus say resurrected people will be like angels?
• God of the Living: How does the phrase "to Him all are alive" (v. 38) change the way we view death?
• The Correction: How did the Sadducees' "lack of understanding of the scriptures" lead them to the wrong conclusion about God's power?
Application Questions
• Handling Doubt: How does Jesus’ response to a "trick question" provide a model for answering skeptics today?
• Priorities: If earthly relationships like marriage are transformed in the next life, how should that influence our current relationships and dependence on others?
• Hope: How does the promise that we "cannot die anymore" (v. 36) impact your perspective on current suffering or loss?
• Knowing God: Jesus implies that if we truly know God's power, we won't be confused by life's "riddles." What areas of your faith feel like a "trick question" right now?
