11-2-2025 "Being in the Presence of God" by Pastor Glen

All Saints Sunday is an annual celebration as we take time to remember the many “saints” in our lives and throughout history. The Bible defines saints not as a special, elevated tier of people but as all believers in Jesus. It’s one of those mysterious Sundays that lifts us up and reminds us that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves. Through this day’s readings, we’ll see the importance and value of living daily in the presence of God now, and the anticipation of living fully in God’s presence for eternity. Why is that so important and what difference can that make in our discipleship today?First Reading: Revelation 7:9-17 Epistle Reading: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 Gospel Reading: Matthew 5:1-12 Sermon Title: “Being in the Presence of God”As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.
