GLORIFY HIM… GROW IN HIM… GO WITH HIS GOSPEL
CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
THE FESTIVAL OF ALL SAINTS
November 9, 2025
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Theme: God grants the status of “saint” (which means “holy one”) to every believer. It
might appear that status is of little practical value. If you achieve the status “billionaire” or
“celebrity” or “senator” your life is going to be vastly different than most other people, most likely
better. But if God calls you a saint, just like everyone else, you will struggle with trials, temptations,
and sin. Being a saint does not make life easier. In some ways it makes life more difficult as we
struggle against a world that is hostile toward Christ. This might lead us to ask, “Is it really that big a
deal that God calls us saints?”
For centuries, the Church has answered that question by celebrating the Festival of All Saints. This
week we get a peek at the saints who have died and now live in the glory of Christ’s light. Through
eyes of faith, we see the saints enjoying glory in the place where “there will be no more death or
mourning or crying or pain” (Revelation 21:1-6). We realize what a precious gift this status of saint
actually is. We understand that soon enough we shall join all the saints in that glorious heavenly
city. And that gives us amazing stamina to face the challenges of this world with the strength Christ
gives to all His saints.
