Preview of Scripture for All Saints Sunday
Hebrews 12:1-2
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
You probably already know that this Sunday we will be observing All Saints Sunday. In this service we will honor the saints who preceded us to heaven since November 1st of last year.
But, before Sunday, I encourage you to take some time consider all of the saints who have impacted your faith over your lifetime. Give thanks for the example they have shown and let their lives serve as encouragement for you to *Keep Fighting the Good Fight until we see them again.
