This All Saints Day, Bishop Paul preached the fourth installment of the sermon series Jesus’ Bride, focusing on the universal or “catholic” church connected in all places and throughout all time. Because there is a “great cloud of witnesses,” those who have gone before us, we can know that we are not alone. The saints – all who have trusted Jesus and are at rest in him – inspire us to continue to run our race. Bearing witness to Jesus is the common calling that connects us to all saints at all times. May we continue to grow into his image for the sake of the world.

We are surrounded by a restless consumerism and insatiable desire for more—all of which produces anxiety, stress, and comparison. But this is not the life God wants for us. There is a better way: to walk in Christ. Father Travis Wilson describes what it means to walk in Christ, to believe him and what he says about us, and to remain rooted in his love.
