Sermon preached on 2019-11-10 by Rev. John Conway. Worship series, "A Season of Saints." Sermon, "Rachel Held Evans." Acts 5:27-39.
“Christianity isn’t meant to simply be believed; it’s meant to be lived, shared, eaten, spoken and enacted in the presence of other people.”
“Faith isn’t about being right, or settling down, or refusing to change. Faith is a journey.”
-Rachel Held Evans , Searching for Sunday
Saints come in all ages, and in all shapes, and in all sizes. Saints are living today, sometimes in plain sight and sometimes hidden. Saints don’t always declare themselves by leading “holy” or “saintly” lives as we may imagine those types of lives to be. Instead, there are saints who show themselves by how they approach their faith and their doubt and uncertainty in their day-to-day lives. They find sainthood in their unique, everyday living with their own unique shortcomings banging up against the shortcomings of others.
