The mission
Our mission is to preserve New Church audio recordings and make them available to all. We provide audiobooks of works by Emanuel Swedenborg, recordings of New Church sermons, Swedenborgian classes, and more. These offer opportunities for Bible study and spiritual growth, exploring Biblical symbolism and New Church theology.
New Church Audio is a program of The New Church, an international Christian organization.
The New Church is a Christian denomination based on the Bible and the revelation given to Emanuel Swedenborg. We believe that true faith is loving the Lord Jesus Christ by following his teachings and being of service to others.

Magnify the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 21, 2025
Choices are like a magnifying glass - we magnify the thoughts and feelings that capture our attention at any given point in time which means we can “magnify” negative thoughts and feelings just as easily as positive ones. But something miraculous happens when we, like Mary, in the face of our worries and concerns, consciously and deliberately magnify the Lord. We start to see and feel things we never saw or felt before. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralMagnify the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 21, 2025
We often talk about "The Christmas Story" as if it were one contained story. But really there are two: one in the Gospel of Matthew, the other in the Gospel of Luke. In the first, the danger of Herod looms large, Joseph has to work hard to keep the family safe, and wise men from the East bring gifts. In the second, Mary is central, there is no room for them in the inn, and shepherds come to adore the little infant. These two different versions tell us a lot about the two distinct ways we receive the Lord into our own lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Two Christmas Stories

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 14, 2025
The Christmas story begins with Zacharias receiving the astonishing news that his elderly, barren wife would give birth to a special child. Yet in the moment of his prayers being answered, Zechariah doubted; and so was made mute until the time of the child’s birth. How often do we do the same, doubting just when our prayers might be answered? It’s as if it’s too good to be true, and to protect ourselves from disappointment we refuse to let ourselves give in to false hope. But the Lord does not give false hope: His promises are sure and He brings to pass something greater even then our wildest dreams. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Visible God
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 07, 2025
“The Lord’s Birth: His Introduction to Us, Allowing Us to Get to Know the God of the Universe” The Lord’s birth on earth allows us to see things we could never see or understand on our own. Unless He lived on Earth, we could not know how He loves us. Without the stories of the New Testament, we would not know how to serve Him and prepare for heavenly life. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Visible God
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 07, 2025
“The Critical Importance of Seeing and Worshipping a Visible God” The New Church is called “the Crown of all the Churches” because it worships the visible God in whom is the invisible (TCR 787). The Lord’s birth and life on earth allow us to see Him and understand how He invites us into a relationship with Him, while on earth and to eternity in heaven. | By Rt. Rev. David H.
