Vitality is Saintly | A Sermon on Hebrews 11:32-12:3

As we conclude our Vital Signs series, we see that true spiritual vitality is “saintly”— but not in the way we often imagine. The saints in Hebrews 11 are not flawless spiritual superheroes; they are forgiven sinners whose weakness was turned to strength by God’s grace. In the Creed we confess “the communion of saints.” That is we state, with united hearts, that all believers whom the Holy Spirit has made holy in Christ are saints…not just some spiritual elite. Throughout this series we’ve asked, “What are the vital signs of a living faith?” This week we learn that saintly vitality is not moral perfection, but Spirit-given durability—the courage to keep trusting, loving, and serving through hardship. Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, we fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, whose enduring love keeps us from growing weary or losing heart and animates every other vital sign in our life of discipleship.
