All Saints Sunday, Worship November 4

The word “Saint” is a pretty big word. We use it to talk about disciples, martyrs, and leaders of the Church throughout our history. We use the word next to names from the pages of Scripture such as Peter, John, and Paul—the type of people we name churches after. We use the word “Saint” in talking about individual lives in which God has worked in powerful ways. On All Saints’ Day we use the word “Saint” as we remember those departed from us who are now with God in heaven. But most amazing of all is that we can wrap our minds around how it is that God considers our lives holy and set apart because of the crucified and risen Savior Jesus Christ. Because of Him we are Saints by grace.
