Pent 24 - All Saints

Luke 6:20-31
If you were unable to be with us on Sunday, you can listen to the sermon here.

1. On Sunday we celebrated All Saints' Day. Who are the saints, living or dead, that have impacted your spiritual life?
2. Our Catechism states that the "communion of saints is the whole family of God, bound together in Christ by sacrament, prayer, and praise." Reflect on these three aspects - sacrament, prayer, and praise - and how they are among us at St. Andrew's as this particular "communion of saints." How does this feed you and draw you closer to God?
3. On Sunday we had 8 folks make a mature commitment to Christ in the sacrament of Confirmation. Did your mature commitment to Christ come at Confirmation? At some other time? What does a mature commitment to Christ look like?
4. As part of the Confirmation rite we, as members of this congregation, vow to "support these persons in their life in Christ." How, specifically, might we support one another in this way? How have you been supported in this way by your congregation?
4. Bishop Lambert said that our job as saints is to fall head over hills in love with Jesus. How would you describe your relationship with Jesus? BFF, exchange Christmas cards, acquaintances - head over heels in love?
5. In what ways might you (a) make a more mature commitment to Christ and (b) fall more in love with Christ?
