Pushing Over the Pillars of Self-Love
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 09, 2017
This message shows that the two pillars of the temple of the Philistines that Samson pushed over at the end of his life, represent problematic things that a person's life might be based on that cannot stand up to the Lord and His teachings. Our life, instead, should be supported by the pillars of His message, which teaches us that we need faith and charity together in our hearts, minds and actions. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Inviting the Poor, the Maimed, the Lame and Blind to Dinner
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 09, 2017
"When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid." (Luke 14:12). Taken literally, these words seem to say that much of our social life is not appropriate. New Church theology gives these words a different meaning. The emphasis is not that meals with family & friends are wrong, but rather that the good things that we do should not have our own reward as their goal. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

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, AZ

Independence from Ego

Fear - Both Hellish and Heavenly
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, RSA

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.

An 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, RSA
