You Are All Brethren

Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

The Philistines Return the Ark
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 24, 2016
Last week we explored the story of the Philistines capturing the ark of the Covenant and the terrible things that happened to them because of it. The Philistines represent a faith that is devoid of love and charity. The terrible things that happened to them represent the spiritual damage that we do to ourselves when we separate faith from charity. This morning we will continue this story and read about how the Philistines eventually chose to return the Ark of the Covenant to its rightful owner - the Children of Israel. The story of how they did this is filled with wonderful representations of how the Lord leads us away from the destructive life of faith alone, and towards a life where faith and charity are conjoined. Three images stand out: 1. The Philistines built a new cart to carry the Ark back to Israel... 2. They made five golden tumors and five golden mice... 3. They yoked two milk cows to the cart... This week reflect on the rich image of how the Philistines returned the Ark of the Covenant to Israel. How is this an image of the Lord inviting us to escape a faith alone existence? How does the Lord lead us to conjoin our faith with a life of love and charity? | By Rev. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MA

You Must be Born Anew
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 17, 2016
Is it possible to really change? At the beginning of the year, it's a question we may find ourselves asking. The startling answer from the Lord's Word: both yes and no. According to the Word, we have two "selves" or "wills" at the same time: a fleshly one, and a spiritual one. The fleshly will doesn't change and will always be fleshly, but the good news is that we can choose to act from the spiritual one instead - if we put the fleshly one to death. How do we do that? Listen on! | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Swedenborg Made Simple - Heaven
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 17, 2016
Swedenborg bears witness of the spiritual world, including heaven and hell. He tells us that heaven looks and feels much like this world, but better. And he tells us that it is what is inside of us that brings us to our place in the next world. Heaven is something we bring with us from this world into the next. | By Rev.

Our Whole Life is in Each Single Affection
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 10, 2016
This message considers the Parable of the Wedding Feast. In the internal or spiritual sense it is a story of how parts of us might currently want to reject the Lord's invitation while other parts of us readily accept it and want to be joined with Him in His kingdom. These different aspects of the person we are inside are found in every affection that we feel. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Questioning the Lord's Authority
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 03, 2016
This message thinks about what some people who saw the Lord in the world were missing out on. They failed to see that His essence was Love itself. They therefore were not open to receiving the blessings He had on offer. If we are not careful we might find ourselves doing something similar today. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Four Reasons New Year's Resolutions Fail
Worship Service: Childrens Talk only - January 03, 2016
Four Reasons we fail to live out our New Year's Resolutions and other life changes are: making resolutions we don't want to keep, not being willing to suffer self compulsion, not bringing the Lord into the process, failing to fail successfully. If we want to stick to a life change we have to work through these challenges: know that part of us doesn't want to change and that we are going to have to do it anyway, ask the Lord for help, and don't let failure discourage us. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
