7 Practices of Peace - Resting
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 23, 2014
When we've gone through the earlier six practices - we have woken up to the presence of goodness, we have looked at areas we can change and made those changes, and we have let genuine love take highest priority in our lives - we finally experience peace. Even when we are active and engaged in life's challenges, our efforts no longer feel like labour. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Westville, RSA7 Practices of Peace: Loving
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 16, 2014

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 16, 2014
The final sermon in our series on the days of creation. We look back over the previous days of creation and talk about the conflict that takes place during them, and the peace that sustains us throughout them and gives us hope for the ultimate destination, a place of eternal peace. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson CreekDay 6: Animals and Man
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 09, 2014
The sixth in our seven-part series looking at the days of creation. Today we look at the internal sense of the creation of animals and man: the birth of new affections, and ultimately what it means to become truly human. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson Creek7 Practices of Peace:Speaking
Worship Service: Children & Adult - March 09, 2014
Up to this point in the creation story, the earth has been silent. There are plants and trees, and water and sky, and they are newly lit by the great lights in the sky. Still, nothing moves freely. On this day, however, birds sing, and a new kind of life takes form on the earth. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Westville, RSA7 Practices of Peace: Navigating
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 02, 2014
After cultivating new habits, a new stage comes when we start to experience the benefits of living a better way. We become lit up about the new way of living, and our love leads us forward. When we have faith in its positive effects, navigating our way through life becomes easier, more peaceful and more joyful. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSADay 5: Creatures of the Sea and the Sky
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 02, 2014
The fifth in our series on the days of creation. This week we look at the fifth day of creation, the creation of fish and birds. We talk about the purpose of creation, and specifically about the internal sense of fish and birds as being things in our mind that come to life from love and faith in the Lord. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson Creek7 Practices of Peace - Cultivating
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 23, 2014
Once we've acknowledged God's presence in our lives, and begun to see that there is a higher way, we are ready to take action (cultivating). These practices lead us toward creating a life that continues to be a blessing to others. The small seeds within these actions will go on to bear more fruit, more seeds, positively affecting people we may never meet. Gen 1:9-13, AC 9, TCR 529, TCR 528, AC 29 | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSADay 4: The Great Lights
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 23, 2014
In the fourth in our series on the days of creation, we look at the internal sense of the fourth day, the creation of the sun, moon, and stars: the birth of love and faith within a person who is being created anew. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson Creek7 Practices of Peace: Distinguishing
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 16, 2014
Once we’ve awakened to the sense that there’s a higher power, a new phase comes about. We begin to recognise that two distinct parts exist within us. When we recognise this higher place, we’re better able to distinguish between the things in life that are real, true and worth dwelling on, and those that are fleeting and not vital. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Westville, RSADay 3: Land and Plants
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 16, 2014
The third in our series on the days of creation. We look at the internal sense of dry land appearing and bringing forth fruit: the good works we force ourselves to do, and especially the work of repentance. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson Creek7 Practices of Peace - Awakening
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 09, 2014
In this first stage, before the light hits, we grope in darkness. Since we are asleep to the real, spiritual world within everything, our life is "empty, dark and void." The change begins when we start to acknowledge some higher power, something more than the shallow life we've been living. This is like a light dawning, bringing a first feeling of peace. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Westville, RSADay 2: Waters Below, Waters Above
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 09, 2014
The second in a series on the Seven Days of Creation. On the second day, God divided the waters below from the waters above. In the internal sense, on the second day a person begins to distinguish between the things in his internal man and his external man, and to realize that the things in his internal man belong to the Lord. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson CreekDay 1: Let There Be Light
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 02, 2014
The first in our seven-part series on the Days of Creation. On the first day, God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. In the internal sense, this speaks to the first step in a person's path of regeneration: when they begin to know that the good and the true are something higher than themselves, that everything good and true is from the Lord, and that the Lord is. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Dawson CreekTime to Rest

The seventh day of creation reflects a state when a person no longer needs to fight an inner battle to do what is right. The person truly wants to do good and useful things. This state also provides an end to the Lord's battles for us and His rest. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral7 Practices of Peace, Part 7: Resting

Worship Service: Sermon only - November 10, 2013
(Part 6 of 7 in the Journey series: 7 Practices of Peace). Human beings are not perfect. We make mistakes; we err. What does it mean to be truly human? After all, on the sixth day "God created man in His own image" (Genesis 1:27), and Jesus said, "You shall be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). | By Rev. Dr Raymond J.
