Spiritual Salt
Worship Service: Informal Family - February 11, 2018
In 2nd Kings chapter 2, the water at Jericho was bad, so Elisha “healed” the water by putting salt into it. Salt was used in the Israelite offerings of unleavened bread, and is also an ingredient in our Holy Supper bread. The Lord spoke positively about “salt” in the New Testament. As we take Holy Supper this week, we will explore the symbolism of salt in our lives. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Ten Commandments, Part 9 - True Witness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 04, 2018
Getting a true perspective on life depends entirely on what witnesses you believe. We are commanded to not bear false witness against our neighbor so that truth and justice can prevail for others. We also must seek the truth and trust the witness of the Lord, which happens as we flee from false witness of every kind. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Looking for Signs
Worship Service: Informal Family - February 04, 2018
Signs are helpful in navigating through life. And there are lots of different kinds of signs. In autumn, the leaves turning gold is a sign of coming winter. A street sign can warn us of an unexpected turn in the road ahead. What are the signs of Faith? What are the signs that the Lord is helping us? And what are the signs that we are doing what the Lord asks of us? The Word is full of stories about different signs. We will look at the story of Gideon, who asked the Lord for signs (using a fleece and the dew) that He will save Israel from their enemies. The gist of it is that this is also a sign to us that our love and wisdom can grow within us in amazing ways! It is a practical reminder that the Lord is working within us to open our eyes and help us become more loving people (complete with the insights on how to do so). We will talk about the signs that the Lord can be present in each of our lives. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Your Life is Not Your Own
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 04, 2018
Who does your life belong to? We know that at least some of it belongs to the Lord so we make man effort to give Him His due share. But what if all of your life, every last bit of it, belongs to the Lord? At first this might seem like a constraining idea. But in fact it can be freeing. We do not have to balance out whit is mine and what is His; when we give it all to Him we free ourselves to live our best lives possible. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Rebuilding the House of the Lord - Part 3 - Taking it to Heart
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 28, 2018
When we have made the Lord a priority and started to work on living better we often expect things to change dramatically. Sadly, that is not the case. Changes in our external lives are an important beginning but we will not see real change until the change happens in our hearts. When the children of Israel built a house for the Lord not just as a place of worship but also as a state of mind, then the Lord could begin to bless them again. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Rediscovery and Recommitment
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 28, 2018
In the time of King Josiah, the Word was rediscovered in the broken down temple. In the time of Swedenborg, the internal sense of the Word was rediscovered in the Christian Church that was in disrepair. Our lives can also be a broken down “temple” in disrepair, in which the Truth can become lost. How do we rediscover and recommit to the Truth that can help us rebuild and heal our lives? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Spiritual Freedom: Responding to What Seems Like Impossible Odds
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 21, 2018
King Saul and his pitifully small army were nothing compared to the Philistine invaders. Even worse the only weapons they had were two swords, one for Saul and one for his son, Jonathan. Saul apparently thought it was hopeless, but Jonathan had a different response—one that the Lord would like to inspire in us in challenging times. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 21, 2018
When the people obey the Lord and rebuild the house of the Lord it doesn't meet their expectations of what it should be. The Lord's response to them, through the prophet Haggai, can be very useful for us when the results of our spiritual efforts aren't quite what we think they should be. | By Rev. Malcolm G.
