Marked by the Spirit - November 2, 2025

This Sunday, we gather to celebrate All Saints’ Day, a sacred moment to honor the great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us and those who walk beside us still. The sermon Marked by the Spirit invites us to reflect on Ephesians 1:11-23, where Paul speaks of divine inheritance, spiritual power, and the sealing of believers with the Holy Spirit. These verses remind us that the saints—young and old, living and departed—are not distant figures of perfection but beloved members of God’s unfolding purpose. Each one has responded to the call of grace, and each bears the mark of the Spirit, a sign of belonging and hope.As we remember those who have shaped our faith and those just beginning their journey, we are invited to see ourselves within God’s eternal plan. The Spirit’s seal is not only a promise of future redemption but a present call to live as Christ’s body in the world. We welcome all to join us this Sunday for a service of remembrance, gratitude, and hope as we celebrate the saints among us and within us. See you Sunday morning, in person or online.   First Christian Church of Lawrenceville is located in Lawrenceville, Georgia in Gwinnett County.
