Listen "Different, Yet the Same | Revelation 7:9-17"

Episode Synopsis

On this All Saints’ Day, Pastor Smith reflects upon the picture of the
heavenly multitude of saints praising God into eternity. We remember those
who have died in the past year and are now with the Lord, and we long for
the day when our voices will be joined with theirs to glorify God forever
and ever. In this sermon, Pastor Smith leads us to realize that even though
there are many connections we might find in this life, that there is only
one connection that is the deepest and strongest and most meaningful. That
connection is the one we have by faith in Christ. We will see how truly our
most powerful connections are with people in our church, the Church on
earth, and even the Church Triumphant in heaven. We will also rejoice in
the amazing diversity and amazing uniformity found among God’s saints.

We go through life trying to connect with people who are like us.

There are good ways to connect. There are bad ways to connect. And then
there is the very best way to connect.

There is no greater connection than the faith we share with fellow
Christians.

There is an amazing diversity, as well as an amazing uniformity, among
God’s saints.

The connection God gives to us by faith is not only for this life, but will
also be an eternal connection.
