The Great Red Dragon That Must Be Defeated
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 19, 2016
This message considers the vision given to John of the woman clothed with the sun, the child who was born, and the great red dragon. We see in the woman and the child, a metaphor for the love and happiness that exists when people are living from the Lord in charity and faith. This type of life is always being challenged by forces that want to keep selfishness together with the love of having power over others and the love of possessions active in our hearts and minds. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Becoming Truly New Church

This message considers what it means to truly be New Church. It seems that it is more than identification with a set of teachings or a religious community. Instead, it is something that a person grows into as they allow the Lord to lead them on a journey where they gradually become and angel and experience more and more of His peace and joy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Heroes - Doing What's Required
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 05, 2016
A common theme with people who perform heroic acts is that they say they were just doing their job. It is heroic in many circumstances to do what is required of us. We all have that calling to heroic obligation and spiritually we have to step into doing what's required by the Lord, especially when it is hard. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

As We Also Forgive Our Debtors
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 05, 2016
Have you ever wondered why people in the New Church say the Lord's prayer a bit differently from a lot of other churches? One of the differences is that we say, "and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors." Do you know what that means? How are debts different from trespasses? This sermon puts them in context. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
