The Face and Clothing of Love
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 30, 2025
Marriage is an important part of love for many people. And yet the Word has very little to say about it directly! Part of the reason is that people have so many warped ideas of what marriage is or ought to be. When the Word was written, a true explanation would have been rejected. But in the Teachings of the New Church we find that clearer explanation, and at heart, marriage is about friendship. Through cultivating a genuine friendship, a married couple can establish trust, mutual support, and true marriage love. | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Westville, RSA

The Lord Cares: He Makes Good Things Happen
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 30, 2025
Joseph of the Old Testament had some bad things happen in his life. He was sold as a slave into Egypt. He went to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Yet, things kept turning around and going well for him. It can and even does happen that way for you too! | By Rev. Mark D. Pendleton | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Heavenly Imbalance
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 23, 2025
“Everything in moderation” seems like a sound rule for life. After all, anything, even something good, can become harmful when taken to an extreme. Yet this common-sense truth finds surprisingly little support in the Lord’s Word. As just one example, Jesus says, “no one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). There is no moderation or balancer here: rather pick a side and wholeheartedly follow it! This Sunday we will look at how a blind devotion to moderation can be harmful and why thinking in terms of prioritisation is a more heavenly outlook. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Maintenance
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 23, 2025
Things seem to fall apart and get broken rather easily—from our aging bodies, to the buildings we live in, to the equipment we rely on each day, to our lives in general and the world at large. Just think of your current to-do list of things you need to fix, replace, clean, or sort out. What are we meant to do in the midst of this reality? Give up on fixing anything? The Lord tells us to lay up treasures in heaven, because treasures on earth are susceptible to moth, rust, and thieves (Matthew 6:19, 20), but a big part of trying to serve heavenly goals is at least attempting to do useful things for other people in this natural world, even though things fall apart. Let’s talk on Sunday about how the Lord maintains us and how we can be part of maintaining what is good with the Lord’s help. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Pearls of Wisdom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 16, 2025
What would you be willing to give up in order to get the Lord's truth? Sometimes it seems like we don't have to give up anything: all we need to do is learn a little! But to really take in the truth and have it become part of our lives, we need to be willing to let go of other wants, points of view, and habits that get in the way. We have to be like the merchant in the Lord's parable who was willing to sell all that he had in order to acquire the pearl of great price. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Safe from the Storm
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 16, 2025
The Lord says that those who hear his Word and live by it are like those who build their house on a rock, where no storm can hurt them. Those who don’t are carried away into all sorts of trouble. Everyone experiences spiritual storms, times of temptation and uncertainty. Rely on the Lord’s Word, and not only will you survive hard times, but in the long run, you will thrive. | By Rev. Grant R. Schnarr | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Demon-Possessed Man Healed
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 16, 2025
The story in Mark 5, about the demon-possessed man healed by the Lord is also a spiritual story, about every person being spiritually healed, freed from obsessive thoughts and addiction to evil. This story is a bit scary, dark, and brings up questions – all reminiscent of hard times in each of our lives. But the Lord comes to us; he casts out unwanted thoughts and gives us peace. | By Rev. Grant R. Schnarr | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Half Measures
Worship Service: Children & Adult - March 09, 2025
When Saul was commanded to destroy all the Amalekites and all their possessions, he only half obeyed: he destroyed all the worthless possessions, but kept the precious things, and spared the king. Yet he still claimed that he had obeyed the Lord. How often do we only follow the Lord halfway, but claim that we have done everything He asks? And how do we come to a place of wholeheartedly separating ourselves even from the evils that we really love and are attached to? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Word on Fire
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 09, 2025
John names the Word with a fascinating Greek term “Logos.” That word, according to the ancient Greek, means the underlying force that orders and organizes all things. John also calls the “Logos” God. We can take that literally and come to know the force the Lord offers us through His Word that orders us and prepares us for heavenly life. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Being Forgiven - Sorry Doesn't Cut It
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 02, 2025
We have all needed to be forgiven at one time or another. It's tempting at these times to think a simple "I'm sorry" will suffice. But when it comes to forgiveness "sorry" just doesn't cut it. Although when we say sorry it may be heartfelt it does nothing to change us or our situation. It is when we recognize our fault and make an effort to change that we can receive real forgiveness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
