Be Strong

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 05, 2023

When Naaman, an important man and sufferer of leprosy, was told by Elisha to wash in the Jordan seven times, Naaman at first was furious because he thought such an act would make him look weak (I Kings 5:11-12). What we consider to be signs of “weakness” or “strength” can actually be the opposite of what we imagine. Sometimes our weakness is a sign of strength and our strength a sign of weakness. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Be Strong

Worship Service: Sermon only - February 05, 2023

In the corporate world or in competitive sports, no one deliberately reveals their weaknesses or shortcomings because this would give competitors and opponents a competitive edge. But when it comes to our spiritual growth and development this is precisely what we must do. Even though it seems counterintuitive, it is by admitting that we are weak, that we have no power or strength over evil, that makes us strong. We have to re-train our mind to think this way because outside forces often tell us the exact opposite. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

"First Be Reconciled to Your Brother...."

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 29, 2023

Coming to church is about our relationship with the Lord but it is also a time to think about how our relationships with other people are going. Sometimes we will come to the uncomfortable realization that, to really be ready to worship the Lord, we need to work on being reconciled with other people first. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Worship and Reconciliation

Worship Service: Sermon only - January 29, 2023

It’s easy to think of our relationship with the Lord as something distinct from our relationship with other people and so we can think of coming to church as just a time for connecting with our God. Worship, however, is also about our relationship with other people and a number of teachings from the Lord’s Word indicate that we should also use coming to church as a time to check if we are holding anything against other people and then work towards reconciliation. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

"I Give You a Future"

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 22, 2023

(Jeremiah 29:11) In our first Community service back in September of last year, the theme of the day was how the Lord gathers His flock, and we considered some of the reasons why we, as a church community, might feel scattered and lost. In our second service in October we talked about re-building that which was lost and what that might look like in our own lives and collectively as a community. This upcoming service will conclude this opening three-part series by considering the future. What are the Lord’s plans for us as individuals and collectively as a church community? What role do we have in laying the foundation for a future that doesn’t repeat the mistakes of the past? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Our Relationship with God

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 15, 2023

Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father but by Me." So, we understand that there is only one way we can really think about and love God, and that is in the human form, as the Lord, Jesus Christ. Even so, we do not see God in the Lord's natural body, we see Him in His love, His wisdom, and His power. Let's think about this today and see how the infinite God reveals Himself in the life and teachings of the Man, Jesus. | By Rev. Michael D. Gladish | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

How to Comprehend the Infinite

Worship Service: Sermon only - January 15, 2023

God is so awesome and so powerful; it is hard to imagine how He can create and control everything in the universe. In fact, it is hard to imagine Him at all. This is why He has always presented Himself in the human form, especially in His life and teaching as our Lord in this world. But is the Infinite God really Human? Is He really a Man? Nothing in our spiritual lives is more important than this. | By Rev. Michael D. Gladish | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Taste and See That the Lord is Good

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 08, 2023

"How sweet are Your words to my taste" (Psalm 119:103) Before we swallow food, we go through two lines of defense: we smell it and then taste it to see if it’s good, if it’s worth eating. On a physical level, our nose and tongue rarely let us down but what about our spiritual sense of smell and taste? How do we distinguish between attitudes and habits that are “stinky” versus “sweet?” Can we figure this out on our own or do we need help? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Taste and See That the Lord is Good

Worship Service: Sermon only - January 08, 2023

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8) Spiritually speaking, taste has to do with perception, with the ability to discern whether something is pleasant (good) or unpleasant (evil). We might think we can cultivate our own spiritual palate, but this gets tricky when our old and new “self” present contradictory ideas of what is “good” and “sweet.” Thankfully, the Lord can help. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

He Came to Fulfill

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 01, 2023

Having completed another circle around the Sun, we have the opportunity to look back on the previous year and also to look forward to the new one we are entering now. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), the Lord invites us into a new way of understanding and loving with these words, “It has been said… but I say to you.” These words embody the spirit of the new year, in which we leave behind who we were and become more and more the image and likeness of our Creator. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Fullness of State

Worship Service: Sermon only - January 01, 2023

Each new year that comes around completes a cycle of time. The passing of time can highlight a feeling that life is repetitious and that we haven’t gained any spiritual ground since the last cycle of time that came and went. However, the Lord is preparing us, slowly filling the empty places in our spirits until they are full. A completed cycle is symbolic of what our Teachings call a “fullness of state” – that moment in which we have been aptly prepared for our continued spiritual journeys, and that moment when, in humility, we are ready to let the Lord in. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Rescued by the Lord

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.

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 Cathedral
