Divine Gravity
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 21, 2024
“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” (John 12:32) The Lord's Love is a powerful, attractive force that draws us all upwards towards Him in heaven. Yet we often get dragged down in life, sometimes by our own doings and sometimes by others. How can we better work with the Lord to remove the heavy burdens of life and be lifted up by Him? | By Rev. Barry C. Halterman | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Reacting to Evil Part 3 Amending
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 21, 2024
Last week we looked at how we need to adjust our view of people who commit evil: we must bring charity to bear, so that we can focus on the good. This week we will look at what we can actually do to stop or amend the evil. This is a tricky endeavour: on the one hand, we can have a great deal of influence or even control over how other people behave; on the other hand, we are often powerless to change someone’s behaviour, and although we can influence and encourage people to change, we have no power whatsoever to actually change them. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Covenant Renewal
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 14, 2024
King Josiah initiated the biggest reform and covenant renewal his country had ever seen. Amongst his reforms was the reinstatement of the Passover which had not been held in Jerusalem “since the days of the judges” (2 Kings 23:22). We will be considering the benefits of a covenant and why our covenant with the Lord is something that needs to be revisited and “renewed” on a regular basis. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Reacting to Evil, Part 1: Excusing
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 14, 2024
How should we react when someone does something evil? One of the more shocking Teachings of the New Church is that we should do everything in our power to excuse them! Yet how can we excuse what is clearly unacceptable (or even inexcusable)? It takes real effort to understand someone, and love them even at their worst, but it is an effort that we are all called to make. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Lord's Presence in Times of Transition
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 07, 2024
The story of Jacob’s dream seemed like a good story to focus on for our first Informal Family Service in the Cathedral Undercroft. At that point in the story, Jacob is in a time of transition, in an unfamiliar place, and yet — even there — the Lord was in that place. Can we learn to become aware of the Lord’s presence, even in times of transition and uncertainty? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft
