Being Free to Choose a Better Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - September 06, 2020
The Lord healed a man who had been possessed by demons. These demons kept him from being near others and caused him to harm himself. The Lord has promised that this kind of possession can no longer take place but He does want us to recognize how evil spirits try to influence our thoughts and actions in ways that also separate us from others and are hurtful to ourselves. He would heal us of this influence with our cooperation. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hope that We Can Change
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 06, 2020
Subtitle: Healing a Demon-Possessed Man. Sometimes we can feel stuck in a pattern of reacting to people and events in ways that aren't good for us or for the people around us. Even as we recognize something of the problem, our efforts to change may not apparently have much effect. The Lord has given us many stories of how He healed people while He was in the world. As we understand these stories, they can give us hope that the Lord can bring about profound changes within our lives that will be blessing to all. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Faith that Brings Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 30, 2020
The Lord offers happiness when our good actions match loves and thoughts that He alone gives through His Word. If we do things just so people will think we are good, then we will feel empty inside. The Lord has good advice for how to avoid that emptiness. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Essentials of the New Church
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 30, 2020
In the book "Apocalypse Revealed" the Lord boils the New Church down to two fundamental concepts referred to as 'the Two Witnesses.' When we start thinking about faith based on these two simple concepts, it brings a wholeness, life and compassionate understanding to our entire faith structure. If we ignore one or the other, our faith becomes harsh, judgmental and shortsighted. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Who Heals All Our Diseases
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 23, 2020

The Spiritual Components of Disease
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 23, 2020
We think of diseases as something caused by a virus, a bacterium, a lifestyle habit, or the like. The Lord gives a lot of teaching about the impact of the spiritual world and our spiritual choices on disease. We'll look at ways to weave together the ways our spiritual choices can make a difference to the presence of disease in the world and in our lives, while still acknowledging the common understanding of science. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Parable of the Vineyard
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 16, 2020
The Lord has created this world and all the opportunities it provides us with the hope that our lives will prepare us for heaven. Sadly, some people don't accept the Lord's guidance and live lives that are harmful to themselves and others. The parable of the Vineyard describes what it means to not accept what the Lord wants for us. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Time For Reflection

Implanting Remains
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 02, 2020

Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Implanting Remains
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 02, 2020
Historically in the New Church there has been a lot of emphasis placed on the importance of implanting remains in our children. However, many parents often wonder if they are doing enough.

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.

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

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
