Helping Each Other: Part 3 - Offering Spiritual Support

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 03, 2017

In this sermon we are concluding the Helping Each Other series by talking about how to offer spiritual support. It sounds so good–offering spiritual support. And it is so good and can make such a difference when it’s done well. But offering spiritual support can also be done badly–people can be arrogant, controlling, clueless, etc. in the ways they approach "trying to help" and they can end up actually making things worse. But the answer isn’t that we should stop trying. Let’s learn what the Lord teaches about how to avoid common pitfalls and how we can best approach offering spiritual support to others.

Helping Each Other: Part 2 - Getting Spiritual Support

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 27, 2017

We know that the Lord has created us to love others; but what about ourselves? Can that love also be from the Lord? All of us have needs that must be met but it can be hard to ask for help. We worry about putting a burden on others or opening ourselves up to criticism. Yet the Lord is clear that we are to love ourselves. If we cannot love ourselves enough to get the help that we need, we lose the ability to help others. When we ask for help we are not being selfish, but rather are taking the first steps towards helping others.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 13, 2017

Process of New Life

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 23, 2017

The Lord calls us into a spiritual process of becoming mature. This process is compared to the from of birth, from conception to adult maturity. This process is called being born again because we leave behind an old life and take on a new one. This process is described by the days of creation, but we cannot know in detail where we are while in this world. The whole process is something the Lord does, when we learn and live His truth. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

The Middling Goodness of Laban

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 23, 2017

In the middle of the story of Jacob, he spends a significant amount of time in Haran with his uncle Laban. Was it a good thing or a bad thing that Jacob lived with Laban for so long? “Laban” symbolizes “mediate good” or “middling goodness” in the middle of our own spiritual journeys. He represents our mixed motivations; the times when we do good things for selfish reasons. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for us? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Pushing Over the Pillars of Self-Love

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 09, 2017

This message shows that the two pillars of the temple of the Philistines that Samson pushed over at the end of his life, represent problematic things that a person's life might be based on that cannot stand up to the Lord and His teachings. Our life, instead, should be supported by the pillars of His message, which teaches us that we need faith and charity together in our hearts, minds and actions. | By Rev. Garry B.

Inviting the Poor, the Maimed, the Lame and Blind to Dinner

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 09, 2017

"When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid." (Luke 14:12). Taken literally, these words seem to say that much of our social life is not appropriate. New Church theology gives these words a different meaning. The emphasis is not that meals with family & friends are wrong, but rather that the good things that we do should not have our own reward as their goal. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

The Symbolism of Samson - or: The Lord has all the answers

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 02, 2017

The biblical story of Samson is a metaphor describing the Lord's incredible strength. That strength can give us the answer to any question in life, so long as we are actively looking for those answers in the stories of His Word. The answer might not be obvious in the literal text, but it can flow from the Lord Himself, through that text. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

An Open Invitation - Part 4 - An Open Door

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 18, 2017

This Sunday we conclude our series on the letters to the seven churches. We have explored how each church stands for some quality that the Lord wants us to work on so that we can enter His kingdom. The last two churches are Philadelphia and Laodicea, which stands for the best and worst of humanity. In both cases the Lord uses the imagery of a door: for the first, an open door that no one can shut; for the second, a closed door that He is eager to enter through. The lesson for us is that no matter where we are spiritually, the Lord is putting before us a path that leads to heaven. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
