On the Streets Where We Live

In her sermon for All Saints Sunday, Pastor Nancy invites listeners to reflect on the ordinary saints in their lives, recognizing the legacy and calling to be beloved children of God, part of the communion of saints. The sermon explores the biblical foundation of the term "saint" as used by the Apostle Paul, emphasizing that it refers to anyone striving to live in the way of Christ imperfectly. Pastor Nancy challenges listeners to reflect on their own "saints" who have shaped their faith, both the renowned and the anonymous figures who may never have a designated feast day. The sermon serves as a reminder that even in a divided world, the church is surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, providing support and encouragement in the journey of faith.
