On All Saints Day, Jesus takes the disciples to a pagan city and asks who they say he is; Peter confesses rightly and fails quickly, and Jesus builds his church on that confession, promising that death itself cannot hold his people.

The tithe is not God's fundraising plan but his classroom for trust, an invitation to discover that the God who gave everything first can be counted on with our money and our fears.

The Holy Spirit sends ordinary believers out as witnesses, not to argue a case but simply to tell what Jesus has done in their lives. The sermon points to the Spirit's power, the man from the tombs sent home to his friends, and the credibility a changed life gives the church's testimony.
