Love Your Enemies

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 19, 2020

The Lord on earth gave a lot of attention to loving our enemies and New Church teaching confirms that it is vital for our spiritual health. Yet it's one of the hardest commandments to follow. What does the Lord actually expect of us, and how do we go about loving our enemies in a way that is healthy, not papering over what is wrong or being overly harsh? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

How Does the Lord Want Us to React to Evil?

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 12, 2020

Sometimes people seem to think that the Lord wants everything we do to seem "nice." This is a false idea. Sometimes we need to strongly defend other people and what is good and true. But when James and John asked if they could call fire from heaven to destroy a Samaritan village, they thought it was a just punishment for the bad choices of that village. Jesus strongly disagreed. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

What Unites Us and What Separates Us

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 12, 2020

As Jesus traveled toward Jerusalem a Samaritan village refused to have Him and His disciples stay there. James and John asked if they could call fire down from heaven to destroy the village. Jesus sternly rebuked them. We have parts of our mind like these two disciples that are all too ready to condemn and wish bad things on others. The Lord would wish a different response in our lives. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Declarations and Revolutions

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 05, 2020

With Independence Day falling one day prior, we dive into the problems as well as the power of the "proprium" or selfhood of a nation, a church, and a person, and examine how the foundations that lead to greatness can also lead to division. | By Rev. Christopher A Barber | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Preach to Nineveh

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 05, 2020

Jonah was called by the Lord to preach to foreign non-believers at Ninevah. There was a problem though - Jonah didn't want to preach to anyone who was not already of the faith. This week we will look at our inclination to assist only people we like, and how we can find it in our hearts to be servants of all. | By Rev. Christopher A Barber | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Sent Out and Sent Out Again

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 21, 2020

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of New Church Day, our focus is on the sending out of the 12 disciples on June 19, 1770. We have the opportunity to remember together the Christmas Tableaux and the June 19th Pageant, and to ask ourselves what it means to be a disciple of the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M.

Sent Out and Sent Out Again

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 21, 2020

The Child born to the woman clothed with the sun, described in Revelation 12, represents "the doctrine of the New Church" (see Apocalypse Revealed 543). Our opportunity is to focus on the revelation of the Heavenly Doctrines as the fulfillment of that prophecy. Beyond appreciation is the act of being sent out. The real impact of that revelation is people like us choosing to live an authentic New Church life as described in its pages. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Helping Us to See Clearly

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 14, 2020

The Lord wants us to know that we make much better decisions when we can see ourselves and the choices before us in the light of heaven. Harmful things that might seem desirable when we aren't thinking clearly can be seen for what they are. This process is what much of the Book of Revelation describes. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Seeing in the Light of Love and Wisdom

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 14, 2020

Many people reading the Book of Revelation see within its pages a description of an angry and condemning God who inflicts terrible punishment on people who are doing evil things. The teachings of the New Church call us to see these images completely differently. The Lord is revealing the true nature of things as they can be seen in the light of His love and wisdom. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Jerusalem a Rejoicing

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 07, 2020

The Lord wants us to be happy and rejoice. The Holy City New Jerusalem is a picture of the joy and hope the Lord offers us. To find it, we have to change ourselves, and through us, the world around us, to fit with what the Lord says. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

I Create Jerusalem a Rejoicing

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 07, 2020

The Lord's promise for the New Jerusalem is that it will be a joyful place full of His presence. Our world today seems a long way away from that promised place of peace. What can we do to bring Jerusalem present within us right now in a way that promotes peace, respect, integrity, and love in our world? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
