The Journey of the Wise Men - Part 1 From the East to Jerusalem
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 10, 2017
This week's Christmas season message looks at the personal meaning and application for us of the first stage of the journey of the wise men. They saw the star and followed it. However, instead of being led by the star to the infant Lord in Bethlehem they were led to Jerusalem. Why did they go to the wrong place, and why might we sometimes need to go to the wrong place in order to then be redirected to where the Lord really is? | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Witness to the Light
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 10, 2017
Before Jesus could begin His ministry He needed John to prepare the way first. The world at the time was in such a bad state that people could not have taken in Jesus teachings if John had not first prepared them and filled them with hope for Jesus' coming. John did this by bearing witness to Jesus' Light, so that when that light did come people could recognise it and embrace it. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

To God be the Glory
Worship Service: Informal Family - December 03, 2017
Singing is one of the most powerful ways to express joy, and this is no more true than at Christmas. The teachings of the New Church tell us that going back thousands of years, the people in ancient times delighted in singing songs about the Lord's future coming and the salvation He would bring. Today we do the same as we not only look back to the Lord's birth but also forward to His birth into our own lives. After a short talk on the joy of singing to the Lord we will join together to celebrate the joy of the Lord's Coming and the Christmas season in general. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Word Made Flesh
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 26, 2017
Sometimes human language can seem rather inadequate when it attempts to convey an idea.

The Lord became the Word made flesh and dwelt among us to teach and lead us so that we might know Him and be led by Him towards better lives. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

How Wealthy is Too Wealthy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 26, 2017
As Christians is it our duty to shun wealth? Jesus says that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. So should the wealthy among us be ashamed of their wealth? Should the poorer of us take pride in their poorness? Not exactly. The problem with money is the use to which we apply it. Money is heavenly when we see it as an opportunity to serve others and hellish when we see it as a way to love ourselves. All of us, rich and poor, need to take stock of the gifts we have been given in abundance and ask how we can use that abundance to make the world a better place. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
