Worship Service: Sermon only - October 09, 2016
In Luke 14 the Lord's words can make it seem as if we should hate the other members of our families, as well as ourselves. In reality He is telling us that we should hate the fact that we have negative tendencies like selfishness or perhaps self-pity. The Lord want us to work with Him to move away from the influence of these things and to start more fully enjoying His peace of mind and happiness. | By Rev. Garry B.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 02, 2016
We are called by the Lord to be “merchants” in search of pearls. Pearls represent truths from the Lord’s Word, and the pearl of great price stands for knowledge about the Lord Himself. The Lord plants within us a longing called in the Writings for the New Church “the affection for truth.” The more we search in the Word, or talk with others in an effort to discover the great truths about life, the more the Lord will be able to bless us with wisdom. We will come to discover in growing ways what leads to lasting happiness, and feel called to turn to the Lord as the one who can lead us to experience it. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Sarver, PASpiritual Restoration, Part 3 - Greater Glory

Nathan Cole | Kempton, PAPart 2 - What's the point of me?
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 02, 2016
Last Sunday we talked about the purpose of life in this world and got into ideas about heaven and working to bring heaven to earth. This week it gets more personal - and potentially more difficult. Yes, we're supposed to be useful and bringing heaven to earth but what does that mean about what a person does on a Monday morning? What if a person hates their job or is just entirely uninspired about doing their job? Should they quit or stick it out? What if a person knows what they want to do but can't due to bad health, injury, old age, or any number of other factors? How can the Lord help each of us to answer the question, "What's the point of me?" | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSABe Soft Ground

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 25, 2016
The Lord tells us that we should "pray always." Prayer is simply conversation with Him. We should be continuously talking to Him in order to strengthen our relationship with Him. In this way we open ourselves to learning from Him and grow in our trust of Him and His providence. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZPart 1 - What's the Point of Life in This World
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 25, 2016
Sometimes, in the midst of all the busyness, bizarreness, and belly-punches that life in this world can involve, we need to take a step back and ask what’s the point? Why are we here? What are we spending all this time and energy for? The Lord can help us with this—if we’re willing to take the time to listen. | By Rev. Malcolm G.
