The texts for Sunday, November 4, 2012 (All Saints’ Sunday): Isaiah 25:6–9; Psalm 24; Revelation 21:1–6; and John 11:32–44
During All Saints Sunday, everyone was given the opportunity throughout the service to light a candle for a saint that they remembered and were thinking about that day. Often, this time of remembrance is to specifically remember people who have died within the past year, but we didn’t restrict the length of time that had passed since someone’s death. During this sermon, I lit a candle for each name I mention—hence the silences.
This sermon was preached with no manuscript.
