Got Momentum?
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 17, 2022
When we have momentum in our lives, things go well, when we lose momentum, we get frustrated and lost. In the account of the Red Sea Crossing (Exodus 14) we learn how the Lord "troubled" the Egyptian army causing the wheels of their war chariots to fall off. We will consider how the Lord "fights" for us (v 25) by cutting off our negative momentum and replacing it with true, lasting momentum, the kind that carries us forward to happier, peaceful states. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Does God Break God's Own Rules?
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 03, 2022
With a clear and stark warning, the Lord places Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, telling them that if they eat of the tree of knowledge and evil, that they will die. They do eat of it.

The Seventh Seal
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 12, 2022
Revelation 8:1. There are a number of familiar images with the opening of the seven seals - the four horsemen, the souls under the altar, an earthquake, but the seventh reveals "silence in heaven for about half an hour." What is the meaning of this? Does silence serve a purpose? When is it important to be quiet? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Silence in Heaven
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 12, 2022
Rev. 8:1. There are lots of reasons why we become silent - when we see or hear something astonishing, or deeply moving, or awkward and embarrassing. We also seek out silence as a way to collect our thoughts, to stop and think. The opening of the seventh seal, followed by silence in heaven, represents how the Lord helps us see things in ourselves we didn't (or couldn't) see before. We'll discover that the silence of heaven is as important to us as the air we breathe. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Dangers to the Church Represented in Revelation
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 22, 2022
The book of Revelation when understood in its internal sense presents a vivid picture of why and how the New Church came into existence. In it there are descriptions of several horrible creatures. These evil forms represent thoughts and motivations that are a particular threat to people who think of themselves as being part of the Lord's Church. | By Rev. Eric H.

The Softening of Spring
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 15, 2022
In order for plants to grow in the spring, the ground needs to have softened and the ice needs to have melted into water. A similar process needs to happen in our spiritual lives. In 1 Samuel 26, the story of the hardened and resentful King Saul softening because of David's mercy can symbolize a springtime state for us as well. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

In Search of Beauty
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 08, 2022
"In search of beauty" Psalm 27:4. We live in a world of opposites, of stunning beauty and shocking ugliness. Unfortunately, the ugliness of evil has a way of blinding us to the beautiful things around us, but we can reverse this trend by modeling its opposite, by slowly, methodically, incorporating into our lives the inner calm and beauty of the Lord's truth and goodness. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

To Behold the Beauty of the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 08, 2022
"To behold the beauty of the Lord" (Psalm 27:4). Beauty - what an incredible git. We see it reflected in all of the Lord's creation - in nature, in people, in literature, art, and science. Beauty is of a spiritual origin which is why we are affected by it so deeply. Standing in sharp contrast to the beauty we all desperately seek is the ugliness of war, violence, greed and hatred. What can we do to make our corner of the world a little gentler, kinder and beautiful? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hope in the Lord's Mercy
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 24, 2022
Having just celebrated Palm Sunday and Easter, it is often a time when people experience a renewed sense of hope. It is important that we keep hope alive because it is essential to the human condition. Sometimes we can feel sad, scared, and overwhelmed, and we might begin to feel that things are hopeless. However, we need to remember to trust in the sure promised of the Lord! He can help us if we will only turn to Him, pray for His mercy, and then do the things that He asks of us. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
