   If the World Feels Overwhelming Right Now, Watch This | Mother Paige

   Ready to find a meaningful community?  🧡https://www.stpetersdelmar.net/im-new-start-here (https://www.stpetersdelmar.net/im-new-start-here) 👈 Visit us at one of our 3 weekend services, Spoken, Traditional, or Family. (https://www.stpetersdelmar.net/worship) They’re designed to show you exactly HOW you can find faith, community, and a true sense of belonging. If you’ve ever felt like the world is too loud, you need to hear this message. This week, Mother Paige preaches on the Feast of All Saints, and the question at the heart of it is one you may have been carrying for a long time: Who am I, and why do I matter? Her answer is simple. And it changes everything. You are God’s child. Not someday. Not once you’ve earned it. Right now. This week was loud. Halloween in the rain, a big election on Tuesday, and a whole lot of noise that isn’t going away anytime soon. And that’s exactly why this message matters. Because when you know who you are and whose you are, everything else flows from that. This sermon is about so much more than a church holiday. It’s about being here on purpose. It’s about finding God in the busy seasons as well as the quiet ones. It’s about discovering blessings in the places that don’t look blessed at all. And it’s about the work you’re called to do, and the promise that you will never do it alone. You’ll learn: Why it’s not a mistake that you were born into this moment in history How God will wipe away every tear from your eyes What the two Hebrew words for “saved” reveal about how God shows up in your pain Why “that is what we are” may be the most important sentence in 1 John How the Beatitudes turn our ideas of blessing upside down What it means to live in the “already, but not yet” Why the work isn’t finished, and why that’s okay This is a message about holding on to who you are, despite all the noise in the world. And whether you’re grieving, anxious, worn out, or simply trying to make it to Tuesday, here’s the reminder you may need right now: You are not a backup plan. You were placed here on purpose. You are God’s child. And you don’t have to do any of this alone.

   You Have More Power Than You Think: How to Reshape Your Life

   Ready to find a meaningful community?  🧡https://www.stpetersdelmar.net/im-new-start-here (https://www.stpetersdelmar.net/im-new-start-here) 👈 Visit us at one of our 3 weekend services, Spoken, Traditional, or Family. (https://www.stpetersdelmar.net/worship) They’re designed to show you exactly HOW you can find faith, community, and a true sense of belonging. In this sermon, you’ll learn how to stop feeling powerless in a world that desperately needs to change. Today, Mother Paige Blair-Hubert explores a powerful idea: you have more choices, more influence, and more hope than you may realize. Even when the world feels overwhelming, you don't have to settle for the way things are or accept that nothing can change. Drawing on ancient stories from Exodus and the teachings of Jesus, Mother Paige reveals why the choices you make every day matter more than you think. She’ll challenge you to rethink what it means to live according to your values, from how you spend your money to how you care for the world around you. She’s going to share a practical way to think about the decisions you face every day, including why your mistakes don't have to define you and how each new moment gives you another opportunity to move closer to the person you want to be. Whether you're feeling discouraged by the state of the world, struggling to live up to your values, or wondering if your individual choices really make a difference, this sermon will help you rediscover your power to create change. And stick around until the end because Mother Paige asks a question that might change how you think about everything you own, everything you do, and the future you're helping to build: What if the world you want to live in starts with the choices you're making today?
