a member of the Evangelical Alliance here in the Tottenham Town Hall. In Luke chapter 2 verse 19 we read these tender words
0:17
but Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart
0:23
Remembrance is more than just memory. It's keeping words, people, and even holy moments alive by holding them within us
0:32
The prophet Malachi, in chapter 3, verse 16, speaks of a book of remembrance
0:37
written before God for those who honor his name. It's a reminder that what we remember matters to us and even to God
0:47
It's important that, first of all, we remember people. The communion of saints reminds us that those who have gone before us
0:54
they are not forgotten but they remain part of God story with us Secondly we remember words like maybe we treasure God promises in the heart words that can guide and sustain us in very difficult times Thirdly we remember just together communities
1:13
gathering in remembrance to strengthen bonds, to honor sacrifice, and to learn from the past
1:19
And finally, we remember that whatever we remember shapes our future. As philosopher
1:25
Jodh Santayin observed, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Faith-filled
1:31
remembrance is never nostalgia. It's a preparation for living wisely in life. To remember in God's eye
1:37
is to keep life, love, and hope alive. Let us pray. God of eternity, you hold our days in your hands
1:47
Teach us to remember with gratitude, to honor with love, and to live with wisdom through Christ
1:53
in the communion of the saints. Amen
