Living Gratefully 4 The Gift of Love
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 28, 2016
God's goal for each one of us is that we experience genuine love: love for Him and for other people. We know from experience that love that is forced is not really love at all; and so God never compels us to love or believe against our will. Instead, He calls us to follow Him freely, and to compel ourselves. This week, we will talk about how we can follow His example in our interactions with others – how we can resist the urge to control and dominate others, and instead appeal to what they love. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Swedenborg Made Simple - End Times Were Not the End
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 21, 2016
The Lord told us there would be an end of the age or what is called the end times. He describes the end in prophetic and destructive language. Many have taken these teachings and applied them to the physical world, but if Jesus were speaking of His kingdom, then the destruction and recreation described would look and feel very different. We should not be expecting some great change of circumstances, but the freedom to make the changes we know we need to change. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

The Heavenly Marriage
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 14, 2016
This morning we will be talking about a concept that is so simple, and yet so profound: The Heavenly Marriage. God is Love and Wisdom Itself. Within God these two realities are perfectly united. They are one! This perfect union between love and wisdom that within God Himself is referred to as "The Heavenly Marriage". Today we will explore various aspect of this Heavenly Marriage, including the following: - This Heavenly Marriage between love and wisdom can be found in all things created by God... - As individuals, we should all be working to establish this Heavenly Marriage within our own hearts and minds... This week reflect on the simple and yet profoundly beautiful reality of the Heavenly Marriage between love and wisdom... | By Rev. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MA

Living Gratefully Part 2: The Gift of Freedom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 14, 2016
From the time that Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, God has offered us choices. Sometimes it seems like life would be easier if we didn't have to work so hard to choose to do good. Other times we don't feel very free at all. But still, most of recognise that freedom is an incredible gift from God. Why is freedom so important? And how can we experience genuine freedom - freedom from our own selfish impulses and habits? Join us for this second week in our "Living Gratefully" series as we talk about the first gift of Divine Providence: freedom. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA
