Episode Synopsis

Preached November 2, 2025 — The Table Church (All Saints Sunday)From Hebrews 11:32–12:3, Gabriel Roman explores what All Saints really means: not praying to spiritual celebrities, but remembering that every believer in Christ is called “saint”—set apart by grace, not perfection. Drawing on the “Hall of Faith,” he shows that faith includes both triumphs (kingdoms conquered, lions’ mouths shut) and real suffering (imprisonment, persecution, loss).Rooted in Hebrews 10, the message presses a simple truth: Jesus is sufficient. Because Christ’s sacrifice is enough, we can “throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” and “run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” fixing our eyes on Jesus.Practical invitations close the sermon: thank God for the saints who encourage you, tell someone how their faith has helped you keep your eyes on Christ, and bring your burdens to the cross—because belonging to the communion of saints means we don’t run alone.
