Mindful Communication Challenge - 3 - Is it Kind?

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 12, 2017

Communication well takes more than just figuring out if what we want to say is true; we also need to go deeper and ask, "Is it kind?" Do I want to say this because I love and care about this person or is it something else? These questions are often hard to answer but learning how to pay attention to our motivations is an essential piece of learning how to communicate better. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Mindful Communication Challenge - 2 - Is it True?

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 05, 2017

Truth matters a lot. Without it we would have no direction or guidance in life. We can however use truth as a bludgeon. I'M right, YOU'RE wrong. The truths that matter most are not the ones that prove us right, but the ones that give us the Lord's perspective on things. When we seek this higher truth the Lord can fill our communication with wisdom. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Mindful Communication Challenge - 1 - Am I Listening?

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 27, 2017

This Sunday we have the first topic of the Mindful Communication Challenge program: listening. As the person talking, really feeling heard by someone can mean a lot to us. As the listener, there are a lot of things that can get in the way of our being able to listen fully. Let's learn from the Lord about how to get better at listening to Him and to other people. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

How Well Do We Know the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 12, 2017

A number of people in Scripture had the opportunity to see God. Moses saw Him. So did some of the prophets. And of course the Lord's own disciples saw Him when He walked on earth. This is what the Word of God is for: it is the way we come to see and know our God. How is this working out for us? Do we see and know our God from His Word? Is it making a difference in our lives? Let's look at some of the ways the Lord is revealing Himself to us. | By Rev. Louis D. Synnestvedt | Westville, RSA

The Great Parable of Genesis

Worship Service: Sermon only - February 05, 2017

The Story of Joseph is the revealing of life's purpose. This Sunday we take another look at the story which may appropriately be called the Great Parable of Genesis. It starts with Joseph, a youth, who receives a very personal and Godly message in the form of dreams which forever shape his life and the life of those around him. When we read about this young person and his extraordinary experiences, bad and good, the Lord is doing amazing things: He shapes our inner thoughts and reveals our heart's desires. | By Rev. Louis D. Synnestvedt | Westville, RSA

Dining with Joseph

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 29, 2017

Joseph, the son of Jacob, had amazing dreams in his youth, like the one where the sun, the moon and the eleven stars would bow down to him. Clearly his dreams were signs of a future greatness. But the envy of his brothers led to Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt. In time, a great famine covered the earth. Joseph, recognised for his wisdom, rose to power. In a curious turn of events, the brothers of Joseph, who simply traveled to Egypt to buy grain, found themselves guests at the royal palace. They dine - unbeknownst to them - with Joseph! Yes, if you think about it, this relates to how, in Providence, we come to dine with the Lord, who is the Heavenly Joseph. | By Rev. Louis D. Synnestvedt | Westville, RSA

God is Love

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 22, 2017

Love is a word that means so many things. It can refer to something that causes the most mundane pleasure or to something of the most profound motivation for goodness. We say God is love. Let's take some time together to explore what this common expression can mean for our relationship to the Lord. | By Rev. Louis D. Synnestvedt | Westville, RSA

Let the Lord Decide What Burden You Bear

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 15, 2017

What are you carrying? Did you put down some stuff at the end of last year that you're now picking up again, along with some new things? What about things from the past-are you carrying guilt about things you did or didn't do in addition to guilt about things you are or aren't doing now? The Lord says, "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give your rest ..... For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Let's talk about what burden the Lord wants us to carry and how to let go of the rest. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Unless the Lord Builds the House

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 08, 2017

A Bryn Athyn College Talk by the Rev Thane Glenn (originally preached 3 Feb 2016) adapted slightly into a sermon by the Rev Malcolm G. Smith. A sermon on how we can get stuck on the idea that if we just work hard enough we can control the outcome of things. What if we can trust we don't need to prove ourselves? The Lord is always working towards our highest good. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Marriage in the Resurrection

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 20, 2016

A consideration of the Lord's teaching in the Gospels about marriage in the resurrection. On the face of it, it appears to contradict many other teachings about marriage and the life of heaven. But with the help of the Doctrines for the New Church it can be seen to be both consistent with the other teachings, and have an uplifting and encouraging message. | By Rev. James P. Cooper | Westville, RSA

The Purpose of a Church

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 06, 2016

What does our Heavenly Father want from us His children? Perhaps more importantly, what does our Heavenly Father want to do FOR us? According to what He said in the Word, He wants to show us the way to get ourselves ready for heaven. Like a good Father He wants us to try things out and learn for ourselves, but He also knows when to step in and help us when we run into an obstacle that we can't overcome by ourselves. | By Rev. James P. Cooper | Westville, RSA

I Never Deserted You

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 16, 2016

Why can't we just choose to love what's good and attain it without having to battle for it? The internal sense of the story of the older son in the Prodigal Son story gives the answer, and gives us serious encouragement. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Sr. | Westville, RSA
