Limit(less), Part 2: Spiritual Perspectives on Time

Worship Service: Sermon only - May 15, 2011

This sermon is Part 2 of our series about how the sometimes frustrating limitations of the natural world actually provide us with the opportunities we need to make conscious decisions about how we want to live our lives. The point is to get some spiritual perspective on these limitations and ultimately think about how we can use these limitations to invite the Lord into our lives in a more real way. In this sermon we're talking about time. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

An Angel Protects Daniel from Lions

Worship Service: Children & Adult - September 19, 2010

The Lord protects us in many ways and from many dangers. "Then Daniel said to the king, 'My God sent His angel and shut the lion's mouths, so that they have not hurt me....' So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God" (Daniel 6:21, 23) Let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them. (Psalm 5:11) People who are strong in truths are kept safe from harm wherever they go. (Heavenly Secrets #6769) Good and its affection do not protect themselves, but are protected by truth and the understanding of it. (Apocalypse Explained 1121) Nothing at all could harm people whom the Lord is protecting, not even if the whole of hell were surrounding them, both from without and from within. (Heavenly Secrets #968) The Lord protects against all evils and falsities that are from the hells. (Heavenly Secrets #8273) | By Rev. Thomas H. Rose | Ivyland New Church, PA

The Hated but Good Person

Worship Service: Children & Adult - August 22, 2010

Our idea of love can be so subjective... is that always good? (Luke 10:29-37; Matthew 22:39; Arcana Coelestia 351, 9780) "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:39) Charity means love to the neighbor and compassion, for anyone who loves his neighbor as himself also has as much compassion for him in his suffering as he does for himself in his own. (Heavenly Secrets #351) The Samaritan..."came to the man who was wounded by thieves, and bound up his wounds and poured in oil and wine" (Luke 10:33, 34). Here are not meant oil and wine, but the good of love and of charity, by "oil" the good of love, and by "wine" the good of charity and of faith; for the subject treated of, is the neighbor, thus charity toward him.

The Great Covenant

Worship Service: Children & Adult - August 01, 2010

The vital importance of the Ten Commandments in life (Exodus 20, 33:11; Matthew 19: 16-19; TCR 283, 456) The Ten Commandments are the most important thing in the Word. As a result, they were the most important thing in the church that was established in the Israelite nation. In a brief encapsulation they included all the elements of religion that provide for God's connection to us and our connection to God. Therefore the Ten Commandments were the holiest thing of all. (TCR #283) People generally know that the law proclaimed on Mount Sinai was written on two tablets, one of which was about God and the other about humankind. People also know that in Moses' hand the two were a single tablet: the right-hand side contained writing concerning God, and the left-hand side contained writing concerning humankind, because if it was set before people's eyes in this way, the writing on both sides would be seen at once. Therefore the sides faced one another like Jehovah talking with Moses and Moses with Jehovah, face to face, as we read [Exodus 33:11; Deuteronomy 34:10]. The tablets were made in this way so that together they would represent God's connection to people and people's reciprocal connection to God. For this reason the law written there was called "the Covenant" and "the Testimony." The term "covenant" refers to the partnership and "testimony" refers to the life that follows the points agreed upon. The union of the two tablets shows the connection between loving God and loving our neighbor. (TCR #456) | By Rev. Thomas H. Rose | Ivyland New Church, PA

Part 7-Living Courageously - Taking Up the Mantle

Worship Service: Children & Adult - May 23, 2010

The Lord sends us strength and the power to persevere. Part Seven of Living Courageously, the Story of Elijah Quotes: Doctrine teaches the truth that no one is to be hated, for anyone who hates another kills him every moment. In his earliest years a person scarcely recognizes the truth of this, but as he grows older, if he is being reformed, he places it among those matters of doctrine which ought to be matters of life. At length he lives according to that truth, in which case he no longer thinks from doctrine but acts from life. When that happens this truth of doctrine is raised up from the natural mind. In fact it is separated from the natural mind, and is implanted within good in the rational [or spiritual] mind. Once this has happened he no longer permits the natural part of him to voice any doubt about it by means of any captious argument existing there. In fact he does not allow the natural mind to reason against it at all. (Heavenly Secrets #3182) | By Rev. Thomas H. Rose | Ivyland New Church, PA
