The Symbolism of Samson - or: The Lord has all the answers
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 02, 2017
The biblical story of Samson is a metaphor describing the Lord's incredible strength. That strength can give us the answer to any question in life, so long as we are actively looking for those answers in the stories of His Word. The answer might not be obvious in the literal text, but it can flow from the Lord Himself, through that text. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZIndependence from Ego

The U.S. founding fathers declared independence from tyranny in 1776. The Lord delivered the children of Israel from the tyranny of Pharaoh. How is tyranny a part of each of our lives, our ego? How can we declare independence from that? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallOur Country, Our Neighbor

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 02, 2017
We tend to become paralyzed when we feel fear. It holds us back from taking risks. But the Lord says do not be afraid. Even when the storms of life rage around us we have nothing to fear. In contrast is Holy Fear: this is the fear that we might let harm come to things that are good. When we feel this fear it does not paralyze us. Instead it inspires and empowers us to protect the good things in our lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSALove of Community, Country and the Church

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 18, 2017
What I love about the New Church is the change the Lord can bring to your life if you are willing to follow Him. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PASafe Within the Walls of the Holy City
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 18, 2017
The walls of the Holy City New Jerusalem are a picture of the Lord's love and protection. Once a person is within those walls, they are safe from every attack of the hells. The people who are there, are those who have allowed the Lord to transform them. Their inner and outer lives have come to shine with the spirit and activity of true charity. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZAn Open Invitation - Part 4 - An Open Door
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 18, 2017
This Sunday we conclude our series on the letters to the seven churches. We have explored how each church stands for some quality that the Lord wants us to work on so that we can enter His kingdom. The last two churches are Philadelphia and Laodicea, which stands for the best and worst of humanity. In both cases the Lord uses the imagery of a door: for the first, an open door that no one can shut; for the second, a closed door that He is eager to enter through. The lesson for us is that no matter where we are spiritually, the Lord is putting before us a path that leads to heaven. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThat Serpent Of Old

The man of the church at this date knows scarcely anything about heaven and hell or about his life after death, although all these matters are set forth and described in the word; and yet many of those born within the church refuse to believe in them, saying in their hearts, "Who has come from that world and told us?" | By Rt.

Worship Service: Informal Family - June 11, 2017
The Book of Revelation describes a great multitude in heaven praising God: "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory." (Rev. 19:6-7) Our praise of the Lord can grow in intensity when we come to understand that everything good in our lives comes from Him. How can we get to this state? | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallWalls and Gates
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 11, 2017
The Lord spends a lot of time describing the walls of the Holy City New Jerusalem. The walls are the boundaries that protect us and the gates are what brings us into heavenly life.
