The Lord Rules the Universe with Ease
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 06, 2022
The Lord doesn't have any trouble ruling the universe and does so "most easily" (SE 2234). As finite human beings, we tend to impose on God that which we consider to be difficult and hard. Can the Lord's definition of "easy" change our view of what's hard? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

To See God
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 06, 2022
In the Old Testament the Lord told Moses that no one can see God and live. This is true: if we were to be exposed to the full Divinity of God it would be like being consumed by the sun. Yet God’s purpose in creation is to grow closer to humanity and to bless them. So while we cannot see God directly, there are ways that we can come to see Him more and more truly, and so develop a deeper and deeper relationship with Him. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Daily Prayer
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 30, 2022
How often do you talk to the Lord? Is it often enough? Communication is a crucial aspect of any relationship and our relationship with the Lord is no different. If, for example, we only communicate with the Lord when we’re desperate and can’t think of anything else to try, that will severely limit our relationship with the Lord. If, on the other hand, we have a relationship with the Lord in which we’re talking to Him several times a day, that can be part of us having a real, active, and meaningful relationship with Him. Let’s talk about what prayer on a day-to-day basis looks like and how we can make progress in our regular communication with the Lord. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Blessed Are Your Eyes
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 23, 2022
The Lord told His disciples they were blessed to be able to see what they were seeing because not everyone who came before had had that opportunity (Matthew 13:16). The Lord offers to open our eyes to new things becuase we don't always see what we need to see. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Look with New Eyes
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 23, 2022
We talk about selective hearing, meaning there are times when we hear what we want to hear, instead of hearing what we need to hear. The same can be said for seeing - there are times when we see what we want to see, instead of seeing what we need to see. Thankfully we have an objective source of truth, the Lord's Word, which helps us look at the world around us with "new eyes." | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Daily Repentance
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 23, 2022
The last couple of sermons have dealt with how we address our own evils. In essence this is repentance: admit you did something wrong, stop doing it, and live a better life. Repentance happens on a grand scale when we have done something egregious or when we are battling a lifelong tendency. But repentance can also be something that we are working on in little ways every single day. That might sound daunting: repent every day?! But when we understand what it means we can embrace it as both a possibility and a blessing. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Living with Imperfection
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 16, 2022
Setting goals, striving to be the best, holding ourselves to the highest of standards; these are all necessary goals, the "fuel" that keeps us going, and yet perfection can't ever be achieved, not in this world or the next. How do we learn to be at peace with this seeming paradox? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

OK and Not OK
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 16, 2022
Last week Joel preached about admitting you were wrong and it got me thinking about how important the time after we’ve done something is. How we think about what we’ve done—whether it was good or bad—really matters. When we’ve done something wrong, do we acknowledge it or try to justify it? When we’ve done something good, what do we think about the action or ourselves afterward? Each day we’re going to do a whole bunch of different things and likely some of those things will be somewhat good and some will be somewhat selfish. We need the Lord’s help to sort out what in all of that is OK and what is not OK. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
