Doubting Thomas

Worship Service: Informal Family - April 28, 2019

Three weeks ago we looked at Peter's Doubt before Easter, and this week we look at Thomas' Doubt after Easter (John 20:19-29). Thomas had a hard time believing that the Lord had risen, because he didn't get to see or touch the Lord. Can we believe in things we can’t see? Should we believe in things we can't see? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Doubt and Faith

Worship Service: Informal Family - April 07, 2019

As we prepare for Easter we look at Doubt and Faith. Peter was confident that he would follow the Lord even to death, but then he denied the Lord three times (Luke 22:20-60). We inevitably have times of doubt, which are necessary for our spiritual growth (Secrets of Heaven 1820). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Our Gifts for the Lord

Worship Service: Informal Family - December 30, 2018

The wise men brought the Lord symbolic gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2). We too bring gold when we love the Lord, frankincense when we love one another, and myrrh when we wish to be of service. Yet when we reflect more deeply we see that these are actually gifts the Lord gives to us (Secrets of Heaven 9938.2). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Giving Thanks for the Lord's Coming

Worship Service: Informal Family - November 25, 2018

As we conclude our Thanksgiving weekend and start thinking of Christmas, our topic is “Giving Thanks for the Lord’s Coming.” Prophecies said that the Lord would come to conquer (Psalm 24), to judge (Psalm 50), and to comfort and heal (Isaiah 35, 40). How do we experience the Lord coming into our lives? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Contentment over Materialism

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 28, 2018

Can we avoid letting anxiety and worry diminish our feelings of contentment, peace and satisfaction? Can material things reduce our quality of life as well as increase it? We continue our Journey series about the book of Daniel and Love Over Ego with the story of the next king of Babylon (Daniel chapter 5). Belshazzar has a great feast using the gold and silver vessels stolen from the temple in Jerusalem. A hand appears writing a mysterious warning. It seems that Belshazzar cares only about power and wealth. Daniel has no desire for the rewards of power and wealth that the king offers. He trusts the Lord for all his needs. We too can choose “Contentment over Materialism” like Daniel, who did not covet the rewards and riches that Belshazzar so highly valued. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Intentions Over Expectations

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 07, 2018

(Includes songs) Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days"(Daniel 2:27-28).

Intentions Over Expectations

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 07, 2018

We focus on Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Daniel 2). Our ego feels entitled and makes demands, but compassion and conscience lead us to seek the Lord's will and to serve. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Finding Heaven in Daily Life

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 29, 2018

Where are angels? Can our eyes be open to seeing angels around us? Where have you had a heavenly experience in your daily life? [Elisha] answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (2 Kings 6:16) | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

The Real Priesthood

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 01, 2018

We look at the story of the Good Samaritan. (Luke 10:25-37) After a man was beaten and almost killed, a priest walked by without a second glance. Then a Levite (a kind of low level priest) passed apathetically, but a despised Samaritan stopped to help. What guides our church? What determines the direction of our lives? This week the clergy of our denomination have been meeting to discuss our teachings and the state of our church, and to nominate a new executive bishop. Are these things important? How do we set our priorities? And if we want a change in our church, how do we go about that? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Offering Genuine Love

Worship Service: Informal Family - May 06, 2018

When we do good for others, we can check our intentions first. Love is not genuine unless we first remove evil (True Christianity 435). “First be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:24). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Listening to Sarah

Worship Service: Informal Family - February 25, 2018

Independence from Ego

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 02, 2017

"Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?"
