Big Idea: All Saints Day is a time to remember Jesus followers who have inspired you to continue following Christ today.

A big part of living righteously is a continual practice of ordering our lives in such a way that we understand the past, are fully present to our current circumstances, and discern what is to come.

Big Idea: "There is a low chance anyone on a Sunday morning will become a false prophet, but we all have a good chance of following a false prophet. It is our responsibility to reconcile the words someone proclaims and the actions they take. Not only test their validity, but to determine if they’re something we should emulate." Text: 2 Peter 2
