Conjugial Love, a Most Precious Gem of the New Church
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 14, 2021
The New Church offers a unique view of marriage that is inseparably tied in with the life of the church and its teachings . By definition, because of its origin, and from the nature of its love, the New Church vision of marriage is different from the way marriage and its love is defined in our culture today. That unique view invites a different approach to attaining that love. It also promises a love that is eternal in nature and is in its essence heavenly. It is truly a most precious gift from the Lord alone. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Good Samaritan: Binding Up Wounds

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 28, 2021
Fourth in a series on kindness. Many of us grow up learning that some words and actions are good and some are not. When we see someone else being kind it can be easy to also be kind. But when we see someone doing something we think is wrong, we may have a less than kind response ourselves. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralKindness and Disorder
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 28, 2021
Part four in a series on kindness. How do you respond when you see someone do or say something you think is disorderly and destructive? For many this can evoke judgment and sometimes a sense of superiority to that person. The Lord wants us to recognize what true kindness means even when we face what seems to be disorder in others. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralMemorial Service for June Davison Brock

(Week 3 of 5 week series on Kindness). We want to help people, and ideally to help them meet the Lord in their lives so He can make miracles happen. But it's not easy to help, and at times seems impossible. What do we do in those times? The Lord offers a different solution than we might expect. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralRebekah's Kindness

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 17, 2021
Even though the Lord loves us, sometimes what the Lord tells us can seem harsh and hard to follow, like all kinds of commands. But the commands are the ones we need the most when we are having trouble following His ways. These are the teachings that will bring us real sight of how to live our lives, and lead to seeing the Lord present in our lives. | By Rev. Grant R. Schnarr | Bryn Athyn CathedralBelieving is Seeing: Healing Our Blindness
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 17, 2021
We are living in an unsettling time. Emotions are high, opinions stronger than ever, and charity wanes. We can think we are right and others are blind. But all of us are blind to some degree, from ignorance and from evil. But the key to seeing is the same - to allow the Lord to heal us with His strong truth and call to repentance, to open our eyes, even to the point that we not only see the truth about life, but our sight is opened to the Lord himself. | By Rev. Grant R. Schnarr | Bryn Athyn CathedralMemorial Service for Robert H. Johns

11/29/1930 – 1/1/2021 | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh | Bryn Athyn CathedralChoosing Sides
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 10, 2021
A theme throughout the Word is that the Lord continually urges the people to choose whether they will follow Him or not. A very real human tendency in all of us is to make this choice a whole lot more complicated than it needs to be; however, it is really a simple choice to make. We will be able to witness a young adult's confession of faith at the beginning of the service to demonstrate that she is choosing to service the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn CathedralChoosing Sides

A theme throughout the Word is that the Lord continually urges the people to choose whether they will follow Him or not. A very real human tendency in all of us is to make this choice a whole lot more complicated than it needs to be; however, it is really a simple choice to make. In many ways after you strip away all of the shades of gray, it really becomes a binary decision. Understanding the simplicity of choosing a side can often help to strengthen our commitment to serving the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
