Holy Trinity Ankeny


Listen to sermons from Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

Nov 8, 2012

Of all three years of the lectionary cycle, this year's All Saints readings have the most tears. Isaiah and Revelation look forward to the day when God will wipe away all tears; in John's gospel, Jesus weeps along with Mary and all the gathered mourners before he demonstrates his power over death. On All Saints Day we celebrate the victory won for all the faithful dead, but we grieve for our beloved dead as well, knowing that God honors our tears. We bring our grief to the table and find there a foretaste of Isaiah's feast to come.

This is Pastor Pam Schroders first sermon at Holy Trinity as Pastor for Care and Discipleship. Thanks for listening.
