This sermon, delivered by Rev. Kristen Hawley at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, November 9th (the twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost), explores the importance and symbolism of signs in our lives. It discusses how we all carry signs that convey who we are, pointing out that Jesus was challenged by the Sadducees in the gospel regarding resurrection and authority. Rev. Hawley emphasizes that our true identity is as children of God, transcending all other labels and roles.
