The Landscape of Lent: Palms
"The Landscape of Lent: Palms" from 10:30am Sunday Service Sermons by Rev. Jessica B. Naulty. Released: 2017. Today I want us to think about palms; but not the ones we received this morning and waved as we cried “Hosanna!” And not the palms that make us think of a tropical island, but the ones that are part of our hands! Our hands, palms and fingers are amazing things. Anatomy tells us that each hand is comprised of 29 bones, 123 ligaments, 34 muscles, 48 nerves, 30 arteries. Hands can hold. Hands can bless.

The Landscape of Lent: Cave"The Landscape of Lent: Cave" from 10:30am Sunday Service Sermons by Rev. Jessica B. Naulty. Released: 2017.This morning’s gospel is an emotional one, full of anxiousness and desperation, and then despair and mourning. We see Mary and Martha crying out for help in the face of illness and grief at the death of their beloved brother, we see the crowds gathered around weeping and mourning the loss of a friend, and we see Jesus, caring so deeply about Lazarus that he weeps at his death, yet still delaying his visit when his healing touch could have prevented it in the first place...
