How we see God is fundamental to how we see the world, ourselves, and other people. The Lord Jesus Christ who is Jehovah came to save us, and He comes again to give us a deeper understanding of who He is. When we understand Him better, we better understand the world, ourselves, and others. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThieves Enter Some Other Way

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 26, 2014
Do you feel like you’re on a treadmill that’s going too fast for you to keep up? It’s a busy and stressful time of year and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and like there’s just too much to deal with. How can the Lord help us cope with all of this? Gratitude—the Lord commands us to be grateful and when we understand why and start practising gratitude it can make a huge difference to our experience of even the most stressful situations | By Rev.

In the book of Genesis we are told that on the seventh day God rested from all the work which He had done (Genesis 2:2). The Biblical story of creation represents the gradual process by which the Lord creates us anew. Given that this true, at what point does the Lord "rest" from the spiritual work He is doing with us?... | By Rev. Matthew L.

What does it mean to be spiritually naked? How can we help clothe each other spiritually? | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Austin, TXWhat's New about the New Church? Part 5 - Marriage Can Last Forever
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 26, 2014
In the New Christian perspective, marriage has a spiritual origin. Because marriage is spiritual and from the Lord, the most effective way to work on marriage in any state, is to work on the spiritual development. This means to take on the Lord's purposes, His processes, and His boundaries and make them our own. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAI Was a Stranger and You Took Me In

After all the threats of destruction throughout the book of Amos, the prophecy ends on a hopeful note: the promise of a return to a fruitful land. Is this promise being made to us? And if so, what was the purpose of all the threats of destruction that came before? We’re wrapping up our series on the book of Amos and continuing to grapple with the question of how we can hear the Lord speaking to us today through the ancient, sometimes obscure prophecies recorded in the Bible. | By Rev.

The Second Coming of Jesus is not a future event we are waiting for, but a continuing event we can participate in. The Lord is coming in His Word to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. We have the opportunity to open people to that possibility. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PALove Welcomes

The parable of the Good Samaritan stands as a hallmark story of going above and beyond to care for someone in need. Bishop Buss explores the things the Lord gives us that enable us to help, namely ideas, love and ability. He also considers attitudes and actions that stand in the way of our helping, that we can work on with the Lord's help. Copyright music not included. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralWhat's New about the New Church? Part 3 - What Makes the Bible Holy
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 12, 2014
The Word is holy in every detail because there is a deeper meaning that has to do with what is happening in our own minds and hearts and a deeper meaning that has to do with what the Lord Jesus Christ and what he went through on earth. When we read the Bible, even if we do not know what that meaning is, we are conjoined with the Lord and connected with the Angels of heaven. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAAmos- The Word of a Prophet 3 - A Thirst For the Word of the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 12, 2014
In the New Church we tend to focus on the deeper, spiritual meaning of the Bible. But does that mean we can ignore the commandments in the literal sense to care for the poor and feed the hungry? How do we experience the connection between those external things and the deeper meaning within them? We’re continuing our series on the book of Amos and continuing to grapple with the question of how we can hear the Lord speaking to us today through the ancient, sometimes obscure prophecies recorded in the Bible. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Tender Plant
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 12, 2014
Today is part two of our three part series on the story of creation. In general, the Biblical story of creation is not about the creation of the physical world. It is written as a kind of parable that has a deeper meaning. In its spiritual sense the Biblical story of creation is about our own spiritual rebirth - Seven days representing seven stages that we all go through as the Lord works to create us anew. This morning we will be focusing on the third day of creation...Here are some of the images we will reflect on today: 1) Gathering together of water... 2) Tender plants... 3) Repentance... | By Rev.

The Lord calls us to help others recognize the true ideas that will bring usefulness and happiness to their lives. Cooperating with the Lord in this work is more than just saying something true. There are ways of saying true things that can actually make things worse. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
