"God has made me laugh…" (Genesis 21:6)


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: June 08, 2025

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Lord doesn’t just want to cheer us up – He wants our hearts and minds to be filled with joy and laughter. Our grumpy, skeptical side tends to have a hard time believing this is possible. What’s there to laugh about – life is full of serious business; bills to pay, pressures at work, health issues, relationship stresses, etc.? Turns out, we have a lot of reasons to laugh if we’re to take our cue from the angels in heaven for “everything they see seems to laugh and play and come alive” (HH 489). What are they seeing that we aren’t seeing?
