Rescued by the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 04, 2022
Many of us are inspired by stories of someone being rescued. As we prepare for Christmas, we can remember it is the beginning of a story of the greatest rescue ever. The Lord rescued all of us from certain unhappiness through His life in this world. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Lord Came to Bring Us from Darkness to Light
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 04, 2022
Wise people know that without help, their lives would not go well. The joy of Christmas is that it is a story of the Lord coming to give us help through all He did while in the world. He truly provided that each of us can go from times of darkness to the light of hope and confidence in His salvation. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralOur Path to Heaven
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 27, 2022
Our path to heaven is called, in one place, a Way of Holiness (Isaiah 35:8). It’s about the Lord’s commandments, and about living the life that leads to heaven. Our focus on Sunday will be on why it is so helpful to us to walk in that way—the benefits to us now, as well as a future in heaven. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Hope of Salvation

Week 3 | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralSeeing Providence: Adulthood
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 13, 2022
(Week 3) Moses was called to do a very important job. So are we. The way the Lord works through us during the “ups” and “downs” of adulthood (20-60 years of age) can be considered “holy ground.” Through every detail of life, the Lord is leading us toward the promised land. | By Rev.

Seeing Providence in Our Lives - Week 2. How does Divine Providence work in our lives when we are young?

Keal | Bryn Athyn CathedralSeeing Providence - Providence Throughout Our Lives
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 30, 2022
Week 1 in the “Seeing Providence” series. Seeing Providence- is it even possible? New Church teachings suggest we can only see it when we look back on our life, and that we don’t typically “see” or “feel” the Lord’s leading in the present moment. So how does Providence work? This introduction to our new Journey Program, sponsored by Bryn Athyn Church, will explore some of the remarkable, uplifting teachings on Providence, which paint a new and refreshing image of our infinite and loving God. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 16, 2022
“Sell What You Have” (Mark 10:21) It started off simple: what do I need to do to get to heaven? You need to keep the commandments, the Lord said. I’ve kept them from my youth, was the reply of the young man. Then sell whatever you have and come follow Me. This the man couldn’t do, and went away sorrowful. What do we need to “sell” in order to follow the Lord and why might this be hard? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralLetting Go
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 16, 2022
We can be doing all the right things - “turning up” for work, family, and friends; putting in a good day’s work; reading the Word; volunteering at church or in the community - but still lack “one thing” (Mark 10:21). This “one thing” is different for everyone, but the “letting go” part is the same - it’s hard, very hard to do, but not impossible. Once we see what’s holding us back we become mentally prepared to “sell,” take up our cross, and follow the Lord. | By Rev. Derek P.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 09, 2022
Wheat and tares are so similar that they are hard to tell apart at first. The same is true of many good and evil things in our life, and it is important to know the difference between them. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Parable of the Wheat
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 09, 2022
Charter Day celebrates the vision of the New Church that distinguishes our denomination. This parable describes how similar distinctions happen in the life of every person. All of us have good and evil thoughts and motives, and we need to learn to choose between the wheat and the tares as the time of harvest comes. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralHumility and Confidence

| By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Tower of Babel
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 02, 2022
The Tower of Babel is a parable about what happens to us when we place our needs and wants above others. We become so busy building our own “tower” of opinions and positions we find it difficult to “hear” what anyone else is saying. Thankfully, the Lord teaches us a new language. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralBabel
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 02, 2022
“Babel” is an apt descriptor for our public discourse right now - it seems as if we’re all speaking a different language. In the ancient parable of the Tower of Babel, the Lord offers us a way out, a road map that teaches us a new language, the language of mutual love and respect.
