The Gift of Freely Chosen Belief and Love
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 18, 2015
"So when the children of Israel saw [the manna], they said to one another, 'What is it?' For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, 'This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.'" (Exodus 24:3) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralGratitude for Daily Bread
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 18, 2015
Every time we say the Lord's prayer we ask "Give us this day our daily bread." This can be seen as a prayer that we can be grateful for things each day, but we need to have open eyes to recognize the blessings He has given us.

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 11, 2015
This message is part of the "Living Gratefully" spiritual growth program. It considers the second law of Divine Providence and the Lord's message that we need to work on improving our outer lives so that He can improve our inner lives. Here our lives are compared to a vacant and blighted lot in a challenged part of a city. An exercise in cleaning up these places tends to bring about enormous positive changes for the community. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZLonging For Truth
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 11, 2015
When we're desperate for an answer from the Lord--when we're desperate to make sense of something or to find a way forward--sometimes then the Lord seems most absent. It feels like we're desperately thirsty in a wilderness with no water anywhere in sight. This Sunday is a lay service and the sermon being read is by the Rev. Brian Keith and it has some great insights about how to turn to the Lord for guidance in the right way. | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Westville, RSAHealing Hurting Relationships - The Lord's Forgiveness

It is a law of divine providence that Man should act from freedom in accordance with reason. (Divine Providence 71) This is surprising to many, yet it is the cornerstone of the Lord's system of government. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Law of Freedom
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 04, 2015

Doctrinal Class - September 30, 2015
A seven class series on the five laws of Providence. 1) Introduction. 2) Freedom: We have freedom to choose our own actions. Whatever seems reasonable to us (see DP 71-99). 3) Change: When we change the external negative behaviors that we are aware of, God takes care of the deeper issues that we are not aware of (DP 100-128). 4) Love: We can't be forced to love or believe anything that we don't want to love or believe. We can only compel ourselves - not others. (DP 129-153). 5) Enlightenment: We are inspired and led by God through teachings from the Word. (DP 154-174). 6) Trust: We cannot see providence in action, but only in retrospect.(DP 175-190). 7) Review | By Rev. Eric H.

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 27, 2015
This message relates to Week 1 of "Living Gratefully." We examine the Lord's desire for us to see His Divine love and wisdom in all things of creation, and how we are to come to better appreciate how we too are the creations of an All-Loving God who is constantly seeking to have us come closer to Him. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZNaaman's Leprosy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 27, 2015
When the great commander Naaman came to Israel to be cured of his leprosy by the prophet Elisha, he expected a big visible miracle. Instead, Elisha told him to simply wash in the Jordan River seven times and he would be clean. We can want spiritual healing to be big and instantaneous; but the reality is, spiritual healing usually happens in small, boring everyday things. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAExperience and Spiritual Life
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 27, 2015
Experience is an important part of spiritual life. We need to hold in tension our own experiences and the experience of Divinely Guided experiences called revelation. Learning from our own experience and the experience of others is an essential part of building faith. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
