Bowing Before the Lord: The Humble Heart and the Tree of Life


by Rev. Ethan McCardell

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: June 22, 2025

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

As love of our own intelligence starts to give way to humility, we open ourselves to the experience the Lord’s blessings (barak, the primary Hebrew word for blessing, carries the connotation of what is higher flowing into what is lower) and a consequent uplifting of our life. We’ll explore the connection between this bowing before the Lord and the development of a spiritual life.
