November begins with All Saints Day and ends in or near Advent, when we anticipate Christ’s coming again. It is fitting, then, that the readings today tell of the final resurrection and the end time. In the turmoil of hope, fear, and disbelief that these predictions provoke in us, Hebrews sounds a note of confident trust. Christ makes a way for us where there is no way, and we walk it confidently, our hearts and bodies washed in baptismal water, trusting the one who has promised forgiveness. The more we see the last day approaching, the more important it is to meet together to provoke one another to love. Our service will be live-streamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Noviembre comienza con el Día de Todos los Santos y termina en Adviento o cerca de él, cuando anticipamos la segunda venida de Cristo. Es apropiado, entonces, que las lecturas de hoy hablen de la resurrección final y del fin de los tiempos. En medio de la confusión de esperanza, miedo e incredulidad que estas predicciones provocan en nosotros, Hebreos hace sonar una nota de confianza segura. Cristo nos abre un camino donde no lo hay, y lo recorremos con confianza, con el corazón y el cuerpo lavados en el agua bautismal, confiando en aquel que ha prometido perdón. Cuanto más vemos que se acerca el último día, más importante es que nos reunamos para provocarnos unos a otros al amor. Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
