Bowing Before the Lord: The Humble Heart and the Tree of Life

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 22, 2025

We’ll explore the connection between this bowing before the Lord and the development of a spiritual life. | By Rev. Ethan McCardell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Two Most Important Things

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 15, 2025

John saw a vision of two witnesses who were put to death and raised to life (Revelation 11).

The Two Witnesses

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 15, 2025

In Revelation 11, John describes a vision of two witnesses. They represent the two essentials of the New Church.

Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

"God has made me laugh…" (Genesis 21:6)

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 08, 2025

The Lord doesn’t just want to cheer us up – He wants our hearts and minds to be filled with joy and laughter. Our grumpy, skeptical side tends to have a hard time believing this is possible. What’s there to laugh about – life is full of serious business; bills to pay, pressures at work, health issues, relationship stresses, etc.? Turns out, we have a lot of reasons to laugh if we’re to take our cue from the angels in heaven for “everything they see seems to laugh and play and come alive” (HH 489). What are they seeing that we aren’t seeing? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Our Spiritual Reality: We Also Have Bodies

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 25, 2025

This Sunday we will pick up the topic of our spiritual reality again by reflecting on a curious and inescapable aspect of our spiritual reality: we also have bodies.

And how can we better navigate our spiritual reality when we take our bodies into consideration? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

“I Will Remember…” Psalm 77:11

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 18, 2025

The Scriptures urge us to remember – the Sabbath, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, many important things. And yet we forget, not in the sense that these truths are lost or wiped from our memory but in the sense that their value can be forgotten. Thankfully, “remembering” is an act of mercy, done by the Lord alone. Let’s talk on Sunday about how the Lord helps us remember and then consider what new, spiritual practices we might want to incorporate into our lives to safeguard against our own forgetfulness. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Go, Make Disciples of All Nations
