Heaven is Not Transferable

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 11, 2018

Wouldn't it be nice if someone else could do all the work of getting into heaven for us? In traditional Christianity this idea takes the form of "substitutionary atonement," the idea that because Christ suffered for our sin, we don't have to. This idea is rejected in the New Church, but it is still appealing to believe we don't have to do spiritual work because the Lord is doing it for us. While we could do nothing without the Lord, we actually need to take full responsibility for our spiritual lives. After all, no one else can do it for us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Heaven is Not for Everyone

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 04, 2018

We’re doing a series called “Appealing Heresies” which is about ideas that sound good and sound true but actually are quite problematic when you think them through. This Sunday evening we’re talking about the appealing idea that everyone can go to heaven, no matter what they believe. Many people believe this. Many people think this is what the New Church teaches. It’s not. What’s wrong with this idea? Come on Sunday evening as we unpack the implications of this appealing heresy and try to understand what the Lord actually teaches on this topic. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Repenting from Coveting

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 21, 2018

What does it mean to covet? Do you know how to recognise when you’re coveting? More importantly, do you know how to repent from coveting? The teachings of the New Church say that the two commandments about coveting cover some pretty important things for us to work on. We can learn to notice when we’re coveting and, with the Lord’s help, we can repent from coveting. Come find out how. The video mentioned in the recording is "How Not Coveting Could Change the World" by offthelefteye on YouTube. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Repenting from False Witness

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 14, 2018

The Ten Commandments forbid saying things that are not true; or do they? The 8th commandment is often summarized as "you shall not lie," but it actually reads, "you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour." This wording is significant. It implies something broader then just telling facts or lies. Even the "truth" can be used to bear false witness against someone. We are called to heed our thoughts and our words, making sure that they are not only factually correct, but that they bear witness to the true goodness of character of the people around us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 16, 2018

We are described as “wonderfully made” in Psalm 139 but then again, in Isaiah we are called a ‘wicked nation,’ ‘laden with iniquity,’ in which we find nothing sound from head to foot. (Isa. 1). How do we reconcile these descriptions? How do we hold the necessity of repentance in our own daily living? | By Rev. Brian D. Smith | Mitchellville, MD

Our Spiritual Journeys - Looking Forward

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 02, 2018

Last week Malcolm talked about what we can gain from looking back into our pasts. This week we will talk about going the other way, looking forward into our futures. The challenge with the future is the unknowns. It is easy to see how the Lord led us even in hard times when we look back. It is more of a challenge to look forward and trust that the Lord will continue to lead us. And this is as it should be: the Lord asks us to plan for an uncertain future, and work towards it, so that He can direct us down the right path. When we find the right balance of planning and trust we can face what is to come with confidence. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Healing Leprosy - Jesus' Healing Miracles Series: Part 3 of 6

Talk - March 11, 2018

We are taught that Jesus' healing of people suffering from leprosy, is symbolic of his healing every person who comes to Him, acknowledging that they are falling short of living up to His standards as they understand them. New Church teachings say that leprosy symbolizes profanation. We profane whenever we mingle something holy with something unholy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Ten Commandments, Part 10 - Desires

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 11, 2018

The commandments against coveting will take you deeper and change you more, especially as you apply it to the other commandment.

Forgiveness as Opportunity

Worship Service: Informal Family - January 07, 2018

No matter what you have done or will do in your life, the Lord has already forgiven you. So what's the point of thinking about the Lord's forgiveness? He has already given it to us. That does not mean we have it yet though. The Lord's forgiveness comes in the form of never-ending opportunities to repent. It is up to us to take advantage of those opportunities and make changes. That is how we take in the Lord's forgiveness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

In the story of the paralyzed man who was brought to Jesus through the roof, the Lord said, “Your sins are forgiven you…. Arise, take up your bed and walk” (Mark 2).

Forgiving Ourselves

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 22, 2017

We all make mistakes, often. We will need to receive forgiveness for many of those. Yet we can sometimes be our own harshest critics. How do we forgive ourselves for our mistakes so that we can find peace and hope? We will look at the story of the woman the Lord saved from being stoned, and said to her "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more." (John 8). | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Being Forgiven

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 15, 2017

In the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), this son had done some wrong things. But he turned his life around and returned to his father who lovingly forgave him. His brother didn’t want to forgive him. Each of the characters represent parts of us on the journey of forgiveness; the journey of being lost and then found; the journey home. In order to complete this journey, forgiveness and repentance need to go hand in hand. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
