Money 1-What Does Money Mean to You and About You
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 18, 2015
We spend a lot of our time and energy on money. Earning it, saving it, budgeting it, arguing about how to spend it, worrying about having enough of it. It’s easy to get bogged down by it all. We need a higher perspective on money to help us figure out what to do. It’s not as simple as money is all bad or money is all good. Let’s see if we can learn from the Lord how to think about and handle money. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSALiving Gratefully Part 3: The Gift of Change
Worship Service: Children & Adult - October 18, 2015
In this episode we discuss the process of repentance, and how it may feel difficult, but it is actually a gift from the Lord. | By Rev. Glenn (Mac) Frazier | Austin, TXLonging For Truth
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 11, 2015
When we're desperate for an answer from the Lord--when we're desperate to make sense of something or to find a way forward--sometimes then the Lord seems most absent. It feels like we're desperately thirsty in a wilderness with no water anywhere in sight. This Sunday is a lay service and the sermon being read is by the Rev. Brian Keith and it has some great insights about how to turn to the Lord for guidance in the right way. | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Westville, RSASpiritual Seasons
Worship Service: Informal Family - October 04, 2015
Just like there are seasons in this world, there are seasons to our spiritual life. We can know that hard times will come and that in hard times, better times are coming back. But most important, the Lord Jesus Christ leads us through them to a happier state. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAWaiting For the Harvest
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 04, 2015
Have you discovered some motivations in yourself that are not so good--in fact that are ugly and hellish? What should you do about that? This Sunday I'll be reading a sermon by the Rev. Brian Smith about the parable of wheat and the tares and what we can learn from it about how and when evil can be removed from our lives. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSALiving Gratefully Part 1: Gratitude and Happiness

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 27, 2015
When the great commander Naaman came to Israel to be cured of his leprosy by the prophet Elisha, he expected a big visible miracle. Instead, Elisha told him to simply wash in the Jordan River seven times and he would be clean. We can want spiritual healing to be big and instantaneous; but the reality is, spiritual healing usually happens in small, boring everyday things. | By Rev. Coleman S.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 20, 2015
The Lord God Jesus Christ who is Jehovah can help you. He is able to lead you through a process to a new life, a new resurrection of life which can heal your very character. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAGood News - Sacrifice
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, PADealing with Spiritual Cravings
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 06, 2015
New Church teaching tells us that the cravings the Israelites experienced were normal and reasonable, just like we ourselves have felt, but the inner meaning of the story describes desires that rise up in us that are not reasonable and which cause us and others grief (AC 999) | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Demons We Face Along the Way
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 30, 2015
This message reflects on how we all have demons that we need to fight, and how the Lord with His love and power is always there to fight those demons and take them away from us. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZWeakness and Strength Part 3: After the Battle
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 23, 2015
The Gideon story unfortunately doesn’t end with the glorious victory over the Midianites. There’s some confusing, brutal conflict with other Israelites; there’s an execution of two Midianite kings; and then there’s an idol that Gideon makes that people start worshipping. It’s not the kind of story that we like to read and yet, if we want to gain an accurate picture of what is involved in living a spiritual life, it’s important to also look at the uncomfortable reality of what can happen after the times of strength and victory. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAWeakness and Strength Part 2 “ The Rout of Midian
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 16, 2015
In part 2 of our series on Gideon we get to explore the story of his victory over the Midianites - a battle in which his men were outnumbered 450 to 1. What can we learn from how the Lord orchestrated this miraculous victory about how He can orchestrate a similar victory in our inner landscape over the enemies that seem to vastly outnumber us? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAFinding a New Innocence
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 02, 2015
This message is for those who feel like their innocence has been lost. The Lord offers His reassurance that He is gently leading you into a new type of innocence, which is angelic innocence. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZBeing Healed of Our Spiritual Blindness
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 26, 2015
The story behind the song Amazing Grace is used as an illustration of the way in which the Lord gradually changes us. If we allow Him to, He takes out of a condition of spiritual blindness and brings us into spiritual sight. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZLet Your Light Shine

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 12, 2015
Our sermon this Sunday focuses on the parable of the talents. In English, a "talent" means a skill or ability, but in Biblical times it was a very valuable coin. The parable describes two "good and faithful" servants who use their master's coins well and make more for him, and a bad servant who buries the talent entrusted to him. Those "talents" symbolise more than just our natural skills and abilities - they represent a kind of spiritual treasure that we are called to use wisely. So, what does it mean to use our "talents" as good and faithful servants? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Prodigal Son
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 05, 2015
The parable of the Prodigal Son tells the story of a young man leaving his father's house, wasting all that he had, returning to his father, and finding forgiveness. How are we like that prodigal son, and what does it mean for us to find our way back to our Father's house again and again? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAGood News - The Lord Can Heal You
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 04, 2015
The Lord performed many miracles of healing during His ministry. The reason He performed miracles of healing was to show us that He has the power to heal the soul. If we are really going to believe in the good news of spiritual healing, we have to believe that He can heal our soul and the soul of others. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAJoseph Is Alive!

"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought." (Revelation 12:7) "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Revelation 12:11) In other words, they were willing to give up their own lives in order to stand firm against what is false and evil. Are we willing to do the same?
