“A Sanctuary in Time” by The Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall
Description
First things matter, and first occurrences of words matter, too. Especially when it comes to the Biblical narrative. Join us as we jump back into the Narrative Lectionary, beginning as always with a creation account. This time from Genesis 1. This time around we're zeroing in on a very particular "first": the first usage of the word "HOLY" - and it just might not be what we think! How does this designation impact how we live and move and have our being in the world? Might it reshape how we think about how we spend our days? What does this tell us about God? About ourselves? About the world? Let's dive in!
This teaching was preached by the Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall at Knox Presbyterian Church in Oakville, Ontario, Canada on Sunday September 7th, 2025.
