Healing Spiritual Leprosy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 20, 2022
The Lord came into this world to heal the sick. He did not come to those who were already healthy. Likewise, the Lord did not come to the righteous, or those who thought they were righteous, but to sinners, to heal them of their sin. The Lord pointed to this truth every time He healed someone who was physically ill. The physical healing was only an outward sign of the inward miracle: the healing of spiritual sin. Each and every one of our sins could be portrayed as an outward ailment. This week we turn to leprosy, through which we will learn what happens when we become isolated from God and from each other through sin, and how the Lord reconciles with us and restores us to our communities. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Seeing Providence: Old Age
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 20, 2022
On the cross, the Lord told one of the robbers, “Today, you will be with Me in paradise.” The story of Moses at the end of his life, on Mount Nebo, seeing the promised land is a reminder to us that heaven is “right there.” Do we see it? Getting to heaven is the culmination of all that the Lord’s providence does in our lives. Note: Background music is included by permission of the copyright owner John Odhner | By Rev.

Seeing Providence: Adulthood
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 13, 2022
(Week 3) Moses was called to do a very important job. So are we. The way the Lord works through us during the “ups” and “downs” of adulthood (20-60 years of age) can be considered “holy ground.” Through every detail of life, the Lord is leading us toward the promised land. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Tempted in the Wilderness - 3 - Putting Self First
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 13, 2022
This is the conclusion of our three-part series on temptations. In the end we have to confront our love of ourselves. This is at the heart of any spiritual struggle. We want to be in charge, so much so that we want to be able to control the Lord. This is represented in the Lord’s last temptation. The devil took Him up onto the pinnacle of the temple, and told Him to throw Himself to the ground. Doesn’t the Word say that “He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you,” and, “In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone”? (Luke 4:10, 11). In others words, test the Lord. The Lord says that He’ll keep you safe. But let’s see if He really will. Force His hand. Make Him rescue you. Yet that is not how it works. The Lord will help us when we have made it clear that we want His help. In order to do this we must put aside love of self and put our trust in Him. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Tempted in the Wilderness - 2 - Twisting the Truth
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 06, 2022
Last week we talked about resisting the urge to pursue pleasure above all else. This week we will look at the more intellectual side of temptation: the temptation to twist the truth to suit our own needs. This is represented in the Devil offering Jesus the kingdoms of the world, if only He would worship him. Jesus rebuked the devil, saying that God, and God alone, is to be worshipped and served. We are tempted to make ourselves the rulers and arbiters of what is right and wrong. Yet true freedom lies in serving the Lord and abiding by His rules for life. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Week 1 in the “Seeing Providence” series. Seeing Providence- is it even possible?

We begin our four-week Journey series on “Seeing Providence” by looking at the stories leading up to the birth of Moses. Sometimes it is easy to see Providence working in our lives. Other times it can be very hard. What are some ways we can remember that the Lord is always working to bring goodness out of any situation in our lives? | By Rev. Solomon J.

Tempted in the Wilderness - 1 - Hungering for Pleasure
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 30, 2022
This Sunday we will begin a three-part series on spiritual battles, or temptation. The template for entering these spiritual struggles can be found in the Lord’s temptations: before He began His ministry the Lord was tempted by the devil in the wilderness for forty days. The three main temptations that He faced and in which He was victorious encapsulate all of the temptations that we also grapple with: the craving for pleasure, the compulsion to twist the truth, and the drive to elevate ourselves above all others. 2.
