Swedenborg Made Simple - End Times Were Not the End
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 21, 2016
The Lord told us there would be an end of the age or what is called the end times. He describes the end in prophetic and destructive language. Many have taken these teachings and applied them to the physical world, but if Jesus were speaking of His kingdom, then the destruction and recreation described would look and feel very different. We should not be expecting some great change of circumstances, but the freedom to make the changes we know we need to change. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAPart 2 - Holding On

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.

The prophet Elisha and his servant were surrounded by a huge enemy army. It seemed hopeless - until Elisha prayed to the Lord and the servant's eyes were opened to see the angelic army that vastly outnumbered the enemy. When we feel alone, how can our eyes be opened to the reality that "those who are with us are more than those who are against us"? | By Rev. Coleman S.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 21, 2015
At the end of the book of Revelation, John records seeing "a new heaven and a new earth," and the Holy City descending out of heaven. As we've talked about for the last few weeks, in the New Church we believe this prophecy has been fulfilled and is continuing to be fulfilled. But where is that new heaven? Where is that new earth? And what does it mean to live within the walls of the Holy City? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Lord's Coming, Part 2: The Last Judgement
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 14, 2015
Some of the prophecies of the Lord’s coming are beautiful and hopeful but others sound rather cataclysmic and disturbing. This Sunday we’re continuing our series on the coming of the Lord by talking about the Lord coming to perform a Last Judgement. The New Church teaches that the Last Judgement has already taken place. Wondering how you missed it? Listen to it on-line. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAThree Last Judgments

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, AZGod Does Not Lie
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 10, 2014
People often lie, but the Lord never does. Yet His government over us is not as transparent as we might like it to be, and some people feet that He actually misleads us. The truth is that He never misleads us, and that He uses miraculous means to regulate how transparent His actions are in our lives. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Lord's Secrets
