READ THE SERMON

November 06, 2022 – 22nd Sunday after Pentecost
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones

“All Saints’ and Sinners’ Lives Matter”

On All Saints’ Sunday we celebrate the life, work, and witness of God’s people, living and deceased. We remember our loved ones and forebears in the faith who have died in Christ. Our reading from Daniel describes a vision: earthly kingdoms will pass to make way for the kingdom of God. The psalmist invites worshippers to sing “a new song,” as God continually reveals more of Godself to the faithful. In our epistle reading, the Apostle Paul gives thanks to saints who “live for the praise of Christ’s glory” through lives of faith and service. We honor those whom Jesus blesses in today’s gospel—the poor, the hungry, the mourning, and the persecuted. At the Lord’s table we are bound together in one communion with all of these saints, both now and throughout eternity.

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

“What goes through your mind as you sit in the sanctuary and look around?

As I sit in my pew and look up at the cross with the wonderful light illuminating it, I am reminded of why I am at Westminster on this particular day. The cross reminds me that Christ died for me and, in a sense, I am to do the same in my daily life. The brightness of the cross illustrates for me the brightness of living my life in the way of Christ.”
