This Thanksgiving message reflects on the gift of our life together with all of the wonderful things that the Lord has created for our sake. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThanksgiving - Joy and Gladness
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 24, 2016
The Word of the Lord is written with many pairs to describe to us joining together our head and our heart. When we read the Word we learn about what will make us happy. When we live it, the Lord gives us happiness. Thanksgiving is important as a reminder to think about the gifts of the Lord, then our heart can be joyful and our head can be glad. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Sermon only - November 20, 2016
Are we open to hearing the still small voice of the Lord as He speaks to us? His voice is reaching out to us no matter our life circumstances.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 20, 2016
The Lord challenges you to not become distressed about the evil of others but to stay focused on Him and delight in Him. If pay attention to our delights, we can see what we care about. And by choosing to delight in the Lord, we can receive His blessings and peace. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PABring Benjamin to the Table
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 20, 2016
Benjamin represents the 'in-between' - the common ground that we need to look for. "Joseph and his brothers could not be brought together, nor he and his father brought together, except by means of Benjamin; for without that intermediary no such bringing together is possible." (Arcana Coelestia 4592:6) | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallMarriage in the Resurrection
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 20, 2016
A consideration of the Lord's teaching in the Gospels about marriage in the resurrection. On the face of it, it appears to contradict many other teachings about marriage and the life of heaven. But with the help of the Doctrines for the New Church it can be seen to be both consistent with the other teachings, and have an uplifting and encouraging message. | By Rev. James P. Cooper | Westville, RSALooking Beyond Pretense

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 06, 2016
What does our Heavenly Father want from us His children? Perhaps more importantly, what does our Heavenly Father want to do FOR us? According to what He said in the Word, He wants to show us the way to get ourselves ready for heaven. Like a good Father He wants us to try things out and learn for ourselves, but He also knows when to step in and help us when we run into an obstacle that we can't overcome by ourselves. | By Rev. James P. Cooper | Westville, RSAThe Rebirth of Hope

Then she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 06, 2016
This week we turn to the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. The Lord tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like being a wise maiden who brings extra oil with her so that if her lamp runs out, she will be ready. Oil represents love, but what does it mean to bring extra love, just in case? You can't have "extra love;" it isn’t a commodity, like oil. The Lord tells us that the key to having love is to also have faith. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Sarver, PA
