The Lord's Purpose
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 27, 2015
Our "Living Gratefully" series focuses on the five laws of Providence, asking us to see the ways the Lord governs and guides us as gifts that we can be grateful for. What was the Lord's underlying purpose in giving us these laws. Knowing why He leads us helps us understand how He does so, and helps us understand what we can do to gratefully respond to his leading. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Stars of Heaven

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 20, 2015
This message considers the words that Jacob spoke regarding his son Issachar (Gen. 49:14, 15). They are words that, when understood spiritually, show how we all have a hereditary tendency toward allowing external or worldly rewards to be the motivation for our hard work The Lord is trying to turn our hearts so that we are motivated to work hard and help others, not for reward, but because we have come to find joy in simply being of service to others and making others happy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZGood News - He Is Risen

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 20, 2015
Is it wrong to curse or swear? Why? Church people are often pretty clear on the idea that taking the Lord's name in vain is not OK – it's one of the 10 Commandments – but they don’t tend to be as clear on other cursing or swearing. Is it wrong? Is it breaking one of the 10 Commandments or is it OK? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSABeing Healed by the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 13, 2015
The Lord sacrificed His life to bring us closer to the Divine. The details of His death demonstrates the ways people can separate truth from love, humanity from divinity. To follow the Lord and not deny, we have to take an affirmative attitude toward Scripture and ask “How is it true?” rather than “Is it true?” | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAMarriage: It's Not About You, Looking Upward
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 13, 2015
Our final sermon in our series, “Marriage: It's Not About You,” is about looking to the Lord in marriage. You may have heard people talk about the importance of having the Lord in your marriage but that can sound kind of ethereal and abstract. What does that look like? Does it make an actual difference? How does it make a difference? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAThings the Lord Gives Us Freely

Worship Service: Informal Family - September 06, 2015
Spiritual life challenges us to face the opposition of higher and lower realities – our natural desires and our spiritual desires. We have a divided mind because we are a spirit in a body. Because of this division, there is also the truth of paradox – the reality of truths that seem contradictory but are both true. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAMarriage: It's Not About You, Looking Outward
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 06, 2015
This week we continue our series on marriage. Last week, we talked abut the need to focus on our partner and our partnership rather than ourselves. This week, we will talk about the need for a couple to look outward together: to find ways of serving the community, in particular (for some) by the way they raise a family, and in general (for all) by all the ways they work together for the good of society. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSADealing with Spiritual Cravings
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 06, 2015

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 30, 2015
The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us that there will be a loss of spiritual direction at the end of the Christian era.

Worship Service: Children & Adult - August 30, 2015
It's easy in any relationship – and marriage in particular – for a person to focus on asking, “What am I getting out of this?” In our upcoming three part series, called “ It's Not About You,” we're looking at the ways we're called to flip that around, and focus instead on what we can give. Our first sermon, on the 30 August, will focus on the ways that we can put our partner's desires and the mutual needs of our marriage ahead of our own wants, without neglecting our own needs and desires. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSASeeing a Loving God in the Stories of the Old Testament
