Sermon Introduction –
This weekend is All Saints’ Day, when we remember those who have passed away over the previous year. More than anything, it is a time for us to hold onto God’s sacred promise: God loves us. There is nothing that can separate us from God
Introduction to this week’s readings –
In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.” In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and to heed the admonitions of Jesus in today’s gospel. Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by the Savior’s body and blood, we live with joy as God gives us breath, to the praise of God’s glory.
