Emerge: Coming Out Into the Light
"Emerge: Coming Out Into the Light" from 10:30am Sunday Service Sermons by Rev. Jessica B. Naulty. Released: 2017. Last week, we introduced a new series, called “Emerge” and how the metaphor of the Butterfly emerging from a cocoon has been connected with Christ’s resurrection for years. We looked at how that cocoon time, the time in the protective darkness, while sometimes painful and uncomfortable in the moment, can bring forth growth and transformation within us – just as it does for a caterpillar transitioning into a butterfly… and just as it did for Jesus after his crucifixion – death giving way to the resurrected Lord who emerged from the tomb...

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.
