Building Relationships Looking Ourward

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 29, 2025

This week we will focus on all the outward looking relationships: those with each other, with a husband or wife, with children, and with the broader community. Although there is almost infinite variety in these relationships, we will be able to see the common purpose that makes them all essential for a church community to function. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

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

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 22, 2025

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. | By Rev. Ethan McCardell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Golden City

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 22, 2025

The New Church is sometimes called "The Church of the New Jerusalem." This is based on a description of a golden city, the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven to earth, as described in the book of Revelation. Each detail of this city symbolizes some aspect of the New Church. Our focus this Sunday will be on the Golden Light that filled the city. Gold stands for Love, light for Wisdom. In the New Church, the heart must always be love, from the Lord, guided by His wisdom. This is a description of the New Church as it ought to be. Our job, here and now, is to make sure that we embody that love, and let the Lord's wisdom guide us, as a church and as individuals. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Two Most Important Things

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 15, 2025

John saw a vision of two witnesses who were put to death and raised to life (Revelation 11). They represent the two essentials of the New Church: that the Lord in His glorified humanity is God and that people should live by the Ten Commandments. These two echo the two great commandments, showing us how to live heavenly lives. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Two Witnesses

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 15, 2025

In Revelation 11, John describes a vision of two witnesses. They represent the two essentials of the New Church. These two essentials are under constant threat of attack - in the vision, the two witnesses were even put to death - but the Lord protects them and can revive them, just as He revived the witnesses in John’s vision. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Accept the Gift

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 15, 2025

The difference between payment and a gift is that we are entitled to payment for the work we have done, while a gift is freely given. So if the Lord freely forgives and saves us, why does it seem like we have to work so hard for it? What do we get credit for and what do we have to acknowledge is the Lord's? If we can clearly see how the Lord freely gives us what we need to work with, we'll be able to accept that gift in every situation through the choices we make. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

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

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 08, 2025

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? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Warriors for the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 01, 2025

What does it mean to engage in spiritual warfare? What does it take to become like one of the angels of Michael and fight for our Lord? These questions are important for us to explore because spiritual life is not always easy or peaceful. There are times when we struggle to follow the Lord and when it takes real effort to treat people the way He commands us to treat them. If we want the New Church to descend into the world then we must prepare the way by engaging in this conflict: before the Holy City can descend, the dragon must be confronted and defeated, and we must each do that as individuals if we want that Holy City to be present in our lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Here I Am. Send Me

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 01, 2025

Isaiah’s words are in response to the Lord’s, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6). Within them is an invitation to step forward ourselves to serve in the ways the Lord asks. We will explore our responsiveness to the Lord’s constant call to show up as a good person who strives to make a difference. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Clear Truths

Worship Service: Ordination & Sermon - June 01, 2025

Ordination of Daniel Calvo and Thomas J. Jackson into the first degree by Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. Readings by Daniel Calvo. Sermon by Thomas J. Jackson. Elijah retreated to a cave in a state of overwhelmed sadness when Jezebel sought his life. While there the Lord came to him and asked him the key question, “What are you doing here?” He then provided the perspective and guidance he needed most. He offers similar guidance to us, urging us to consider our situation and our next steps in light of the clear truths of His Word. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
