“There are stars whose radiance is visible on earth, though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when night is dark. They light the way for all people.” Hannah Senesh
Yesterday was All Saints Sunday and Pastor Dave’s sermon was entitled “All Saints.” Text was from Matthew 4:16, Matthew 5:1-12, Hebrews 12:1 and Revelation 21:22-27. Several participants also shared testimony to their personal saints.
Some questions to think about as your week begins….
• What does it mean for your life of faith that you have a “cloud of witnesses” around you, living and dead? (Hebrews 12:1)
• What is your favorite blessing in the Beatitudes ? (Matthew 5: 1-12)
• Which blessing in the Beatitudes do you desire the most this day? (Matthew 5:1-12)
• Who is a living Saint who has shaped your faith? When did you tell them thank you last? When do you plan to give thanks for them next?
• Who is a Saint who has died and gone on to the kingdom that is to come, who shaped your faith? Give thanks for them this day in prayer.
