Sermons at All Saints Anglican Church

Christ did not die and rise for Himself, but for us—so that our sins might be forgiven and we might share in eternal life. Through faith and baptism, we are united with Him: we die to sin and begin a new life in righteousness.For now, we live in the “little while” between Christ’s ascension and His return. This life includes struggle, sorrow, and opposition, yet it is marked by hope. Jesus promises that our sorrow will be turned into joy, and that the glory ahead is greater than anything we can imagine.This hope calls us to live faithfully. Our choices matter—not only for ourselves, but for others who may come to know God through us. Though we do not yet see Christ, He has not left us. He will return, and when He does, our joy will be complete and everlasting.
