What do you need to know to be happy? How much proof do you need? We will talk about what is real and what looks real. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralLift Up Your Eyes and Look
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 24, 2021
As we go through hard times we tend to look to the future when life, we hope, will be better. The Lord suggests that if we can look with the right eyes we also can see the good that is present right now. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralYou're Seeing Him
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
Worship Service: Sermon only - 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. 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 CathedralMemorial Service for John T.

Worship Service: Sermon only - January 03, 2021
The beginning of a new year is a time that encourages people to think of the poast year and reflect on the new year beginning. Most of us would acknowledge that the last nearly ten months have been far from easy for many of us. What would the Lord like us to take away from these experiences? How can they serve the Lord's goals for our lives now and on to eternity? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralMemorial Service for Edward K. Asplundh

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 20, 2020
What would it have been like to be a shepherd watching over his flock at night? The angel appeared to the shepherds in their lonely vigil, which says something about how the Lord sends His angel to us too. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralLoneliness and Community in the Christmas Story
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 20, 2020
At Christmas we normally celebrate by gathering together to rejoice in the Lord's birth. Sadly, that will not be happening this year. We will explore images and instances of loneliness in the Christmas story and reflect on its meaning for our lives, especially this year. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Shepherd's Way

"There shall be one shepherd for them all; and they shall walk in My judgments, and keep My statutes and do them." (Ezekiel 37: 24) | By Rev. Philip B. Schnarr | Bryn Athyn CathedralMemorial Service for Robert F. Klein
Memorial Service - December 12, 2020
February 3, 1931 to December 7, 2020. Bob Klein was a volunteer for New Church Audio and its precursor, the Sound Recording Committee, for over fifty years. He was key to the recording, editing and uploading of thousands of recordings on the New Church Audio website. He operated the sound system at Bryn Athyn Cathedral for many years and worked with the recordings from the services to make them available to all. He recorded doctrinal classes, lectures, and other events. He also digitized thousands of reel to reel tapes into mp3s for this website. We thank him and his family for his dedication and service. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Lord Was Born So We Can See and Love Him
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 06, 2020
The teachings for the New Church are clear: We cannot come to love or sense that we are loved unless we see and believe that the Lord is both Human and God. He was born as a tiny infant in Bethlehem as part of this process. Prophecies of old had long promised His coming, | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralWhy it is So Important to Turn to the Lord as both Human and God
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 06, 2020
If the Lord had not been born into this world at the first Christmas, we would be missing a very important recognition of who He is. It is impossible to truly love or feel loved by a God who is just an ill-defined forced, no matter how powerful that force is thought to be. We are invited to worship the Lord as both Human and God. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Glory of the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 29, 2020
In the Christmas story, we find Simeon prophesying that the Lord will be "the glory of my people Israel." Does this simply mean that Israel will be proud of the Lord or that He will make them great? What does "glory" really mean? The Lord came into the world to "glorify" His human. Is this "glorification" somehow related to "glory"? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn CathedralA Light for a Revelation to the Gentiles
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 29, 2020
The Lord came to provide a revelation to the gentiles. But who were these gentiles and what was revealed to them? And is this simply a happy thought about something that the Lord did for others, or is there some way in which this can have personal meaning for each of us? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn CathedralSeeing the Lord in Our Lives
