What Does God Look Like?
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 28, 2017
This week we ponder the question: What does God look like? The Scriptures make it clear that people have been unable to see God at anytime. Yet, John on the Isle of Patmos (Revelation 1) did appear to see Him. This, though, was not God Himself in His essence, but an important manifestation suited to our finite comprehension, and therefore is a very useful image to help us in developing our relationship with Him. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

An Open Invitation, Part 1: Goodness vs. Rightness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 28, 2017
What does it take to be part of the New Church? Being part of the New Church takes many forms but at heart it is all about looking to the Lord and repenting of evils. As we approach the celebration of the New Church's birth in June, we will explore how we look to the Lord and repent, and so become part of His Church. Specifically we will explore the letters to the seven churches, each of which reveals some new quality of the Lord and some new evil that we can work on. This Sunday we will look at the letter to the Church in Ephesus, which urges those who put great weight in being right to focus more on doing good. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Standing Up for Her Children: A Mother's Day message

Her understanding of the nature of the Lord's kingdom might have been faulty at the time, but, that doesn't mean that she wasn't being led by two powerful united forces from the Lord, the love of marriage, or conjugial love, and the love of children, or storge. | By Rev.

Finding Jesus in the Life of Abraham, Part 2
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 08, 2017
