Rethinking the Idea of One Bad Apple
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 15, 2015
This message considers Judas Iscariot, not so much as an evil person in his betrayal of the Lord, but as an example of how we are all vulnerable to the negative effects of attacks from the hells. It is important to know that the Lord is far more powerful than the forces of evil ever will be. Judas might appear at first to be a bad apple. But, upon reflection, he might not have been. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZWilling to Take a Second Look
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 08, 2015
We are all encouraged to give the Lord's message a second look. Taking a new look might bring to light ideas that weren't seen earlier, ideas that we perhaps weren't ready for before. The same goes for the way we view other people. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThe Barrier Was Torn in Two
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 01, 2015
We focus on how, when the Lord's earthly body died upon the cross, that the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. This represented how, through the Lord's victories, there would never again be external barriers preventing any person from developing the depth of relationship with the Lord that they want. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZJoseph Ruler Of Egypt

Worship Service: Sermon only - February 22, 2015
This message examines Peter's denial of the Lord and the crowing of the rooster. This is a metaphor for how the Lord leads us through a dark time in life to one that is brighter, from an imperfect stage into one that is relatively more perfect. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZMy Walk with the Lord Part 1 - Listening to His Word
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 15, 2015
We may have challenges or barriers to reading the Word, but if push through and read 1-2 chapters of the Bible a day as a way of listening to the Lord, we will grow in our understanding of the Word and our relationship with the Lord. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThe Decree of King Darius

Sunday School Service - Children's Talk Title - The LORD Protects Us From Evil | By Rev. Brett D. Buick | Kempton, PAHe Found Them Asleep Again
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 08, 2015
This message reflects on the Lord's praying in the garden of Gethsemane, while three times His disciples fell asleep. We have here a picture of humanity's tendency to live in a state of spiritual sleep and our consequent lack of appreciation for the Lord, His message, and what He is actively seeking to do in each of our lives. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThe Restoration of the Church
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 11, 2015
This is a reflection on how the coming of the Lord's true church on earth is accomplished through the transformation of the individual. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZGrowing strong in spirit

Jesus Christ is the Mighty God; He fulfills the prediction from Isaiah 9:6. He uses His might to save us and protect us, when we turn to Him. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PADo Not Resist Evil, Part 4 – Worthlessness and Shame
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 30, 2014
"You're absolutely worthless!" "I'm a useless piece of..." Do you ever hear these words--from other people or inside your own head? Are they true? Are you worthless? Or think about it the other way: if you are not worthless, why do you have worth? What makes you worthy? It's tricky to sort out. And dealing with feelings of worthlessness is even harder. But the Lord can help us to understand and deal with all of this, and differently from what we might expect. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAOfferings We Bring to the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 30, 2014
"With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the High God?" (Micah 6:6) The book of Leviticus offers us three things we can give that please the Lord. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralBoundaries for Generosity
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 30, 2014
If you would like to learn to be generous, the Lord gives you a guideline of 10%. This guideline allows us to be generous in a way that is challenging. It also allows us to receive the 90% more cleanly. Tithing provides boundaries that teach us to be generous. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThanksgiving - A Feast for the Spirit
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 27, 2014
We have the opportunity to make our Thanksgiving meal (and all dinners with others people) a spiritual feast. It takes intentionally thinking about spiritual conversation and food, but by preparing to have a conversations about spiritual things with the same care you might prepare a the food, you can have spiritual feasts along with a feast of food. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 16, 2014
The Lord wants to enter into a relationship with us. We have the opportunity to confirm ourselves in the desire to enter into that relationship through the Holy Supper. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Sarver, PASolomon's Wise Attitudes
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 09, 2014
Every day we are faced with choices. No mater how big or small those choices may be, our goal is to make them wisely. In part, we make wise choices when we act based upon the Lord's definition of what is good and true, and not on our own. Solomon showed this wisdom when he said to the Lord, "Give your servant and understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil."...This morning we will use the story of Solomon asking for wisdom to reflect on various attitudes that can help us make wise choices. No mater what specific decision lies before us, approaching it with the right attitude can make all the difference... | By Rev. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MAThe Danger of Loving a Lie

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 26, 2014
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. Genzlinger | West Concord, MASeedtime and Harvest Shall Never Cease

Sunday School Service: Seedtime and Harvest Shall Never Cease. Children's Talk Title: The LORD Promises Seedtime and Harvest | By Rev. Brett D. Buick | Kempton, PAThe 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. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MA
