God Remembered. Did He Forget?
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 17, 2016
The Lord is always present with us, but at times He withholds His help until we can accept His help in a way that builds our trust and reliance on Him. Even at those times He is lovingly present waiting for the time we can remember Him and be lifted up by Him. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThe Road To Emmaus

"A person is not able to perceive the lust of his own evil. He does indeed perceive their delights, but he reflects little upon them; for delights captivate the thoughts and banish reflection. Therefore, unless he know from some other source that they are evil, he would call them good, and from freedom according to the reasoning of his thought, he would commit them; and when he does this he makes them his own."

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 17, 2016
What is worship? What makes worship genuine or fake? What's the purpose of worship? These are some of the questions we’re going to be exploring this Sunday. We’re going to try to get to the heart of internal side of worship. (This was actually recorded in Stanford, Western Cape for the New Church Cape Town Circle.) | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAWaiting on the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 10, 2016
Many of us understand that spiritual growth is a long, slow process, and that change doesn't happen overnight. But sometimes it seems like we're not moving at all, and sometimes it even seems like we are moving backwards. How can we find the trust and strength to continue waiting for the Lord when it seems like we have already been waiting for so long? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSASing Unto the Lord

Worship Service: Sermon only - April 03, 2016
Many people in the course of their life will ask, "Why am I here?" This question often arises as a consequence of their self-doubts. The Lord assures us that are loved unendingly and beyond measure. He also helps us to see that we are not born for our own sake; we are born for the sake of others. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZRemembering Through Scripture

Worship Service: Sermon only - April 03, 2016
How are you doing? How's your life going? How's your spiritual life going? These can be hard questions to know how to answer and hard questions to want to answer. Especially if things aren't going well we can feel a lot of shame and resistance around directly thinking about how we're doing. But, the first step in getting healthier is to take an honest look at how we're doing right now. That's what we're going to do this Sunday. This Sunday, during the adult sermon, I will give a short talk and then give people about 10 minutes to privately fill out a series of pages called the "Spiritual Health Snapshot" and "Spiritual Health Plan." It's a tool for evaluating how you're doing spiritually, picking an area to focus on, and then making a plan to work on it. These will be available on www.newchurchwestville.co.za/snapshot . You can download and print from there. If you've done it before, it can be useful to do it again and see how things have changed since the last time. If you haven't done it before, I hope you'll give it a try. Let's each do our individual work so that we can become more healthy as individuals and as a church. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAWhen Bad things Happen to Good People

"When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

Worship Service: Sermon only - March 27, 2016
This message uses the John 20 version of the Easter story. We think about how the world was shrouded in darkness, but the Lord's conquering of death and the grave brought a new light.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 27, 2016
This year, as we celebrate Easter, we are focusing on the Gospel Mark. One of the features of the account from Mark is a strong emphasis on belief—people who believe that Jesus has risen, people who do not, what will happen to those that do and do not believe. This Sunday will be an opportunity for each person to reflect on what they believe about Jesus and the Easter story and how the Lord can strengthen each person’s belief. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
