Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 15, 2016
Part of maturing with children is realizing that sometimes a choice has to be made. This reality shows up in an old proverb, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Not only do we have to make choices, but another part of maturing involves seeing the relationship between choices and the consequences they bring. The Lord wants us to recognize the spiritual consequences of our choices. Copyrighted music not included. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralYadah Heinrichs Alden Memorial Address

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 08, 2016

This Sunday we're digging into the 2nd step--a step that is easy to overlook but essential to real repentance: recognising and acknowledging our sin.

The Ten Commandments which tell us what not to do actually teach us how to love the Lord and the neighbor. By removing the bad, the Lord gives us the good.

As we consider who to elect to offices in our government, we can look to the Lord's teachings to guide us. The Lord tells us there are three qualities to look for in an organizational leader: skilled in the Law, wise, and God Fearing. He also provides us principles by which to prioritize our choice of policy or platform planks: spirituality/justice, morality, economics. If we look to the Lord Jesus Christ and allow Him to guide our choices of leaders, our country will be able to be lead and healed by Him. | By Rev.

"Man can be formed for heaven only by means of the World.

Because the Lord is all-loving and ultimately wise, He can see exactly how to intervene in every human situation both for the sake of the present and the future. He allows bad things to happen at times times, not because He wills those things, but because He knows what is best. A challenge for us is to trust that He always knows what He is doing and that He always cares. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ
