All Saints' Day
Sermon Text: Matthew 5:1-12
"[1] Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. [2] And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: [3] ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ [4] ‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.’ [5] ‘Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.’ [6] ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.’ [7] ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.’ [8] ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ [9] ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.’ [10] ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ [11] ‘Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.’ [12] Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
