I was Hungry And You Gave Me Food
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 01, 2015
This week we are beginning a seven part series on the following words from Matthew 25: "For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me." (Matthew 25:35-36) According to the Heavenly Doctrines, on a spiritual level, these verses describe what charity is in its essence and how we should practice charity in the life we live. We all know that living a life of charity is important. But how exactly do we do this?...

There are three loves that all people have: heaven, world, and self. If these three are in the proper order, we are human. If these loves are out of order we are spiritually deformed and unhealthy. Arranging life to put the Lord and others as the first thing in our life makes us human. We do this through prayer, sacrifice, and following the example of our Lord Jesus Christ. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAFullness of Joy
Worship Service: Informal Family - February 01, 2015
This Sunday we celebrate the founding of Kainon School. The theme for the service (which is based on the spiritual theme for the school year at Kainon) is “Fullness of Joy”. It sounds wonderful to be full of joy – we want that for ourselves and for those that we love – but is it possible to achieve in this world? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSASeeing The Lord in Our Lives

"And his servant said to him 'Alas, my master! What shall we do?' So he answered, 'Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them' And Elisha prayed, and said, 'Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.' Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw . And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."(2 Kings 6:15-17) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralHorses and Chariots of Fire

"And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, 'Alas, my master! What shall we do?'" (2 Kings 6:15). Elisha saw the situation very differently. The Lord wants us to be able to see things as Elisha did. What helps us do this?

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 25, 2015
To be open to new ideas we have to recognize the things that are closing us down.

Sometimes we forget a promise made to another person or something that is important to them. Sometimes we can continue to remember something another person did that we didn't like.
