Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 19, 2023
This year we’ve been working our way through a series of sermons on ancient enemies in the stories of the Word and their spiritual significance in our lives today. The Amorites will be our focus this Sunday. This enemy shows up in a number of different stories but particularly in the stories of the conquest of the land. We will be exploring the spiritual implications of the idea that our spiritual lives (represented by the Children of Israel) must find their home in areas previously governed by selfishness and worldliness (represented by the Amorites). | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn CathedralKnow Your Spiritual Enemies: The Amorites

The life of David is one of courage and trust in the Lord. Yet even David, as king, fell away from the right path. It turns out that heroes can never quite live up to our hopes and expectations. The same is true of life: we build up hopes and expectations, but then feel let down when they don’t turn out. The Lord, however is different: He will never let us down; His promises always come to pass, and they turn out to exceed our hopes and expectations. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThank you!
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 19, 2023
“Thank you!” is found many times in the Word. Its origin is having a thought, recognizing a favor, experiencing grace, pleasure or satisfaction. It is a verb which has an urgency to it, and is directed towards another. Our worship will be an opportunity to infill our thanks with a new spirit of gratitude with a mindful attention to what happens spiritually in and through us when we say “Thanks!.” | By Rev. J. Clark Jr. Echols | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallInstruments of Praise

The book of Jonah is about the spiritual welfare of the great city, Nineveh. Will Jonah be convinced that Nineveh is worth saving or will he just sit outside the city and sulk? Why was Jonah so reluctant to go to Nineveh in the first place? And why, after the people of Nineveh demonstrated a willingness to repent, was Jonah still angry? What does “Nineveh” represent in our lives? There are times when we deem certain situations or circumstances irredeemable, not worth saving, but then the Lord presses us to reconsider, saying, “should I not pity Nineveh, that great city?” (Jonah 4:11). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralSaving Nineveh

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 12, 2023
Life seems to be full of complicated choices, and the world we live in can often seem so confusing. Yet, the Lord in His Word is continually urging us to make the right choice to follow Him. Why does this many times become so hard for us to do? Clearly this choice is wise, but why isn’t making this choice easy? | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Westville, RSAReconciliation and Peace
