In the New Church we are given the vital teaching, that it is the quality of the charity in our life that most defines us. As the charity in our life grows, so the faith we have in the Lord will also grow. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Becoming More Christ-Like

Worship Service: Sermon only - March 12, 2017

Christianity, at the organizational or individual level, suffers when there is no genuine charity. Therefore, to be more Christian, or to be more Christ-like, requires a transformation that sees a growing focus on loving the Lord and loving others. When true charity is combined with a true understanding of the Lord's message, the church and the individual, rather than facing destruction, grows into what the Lord and other people need the church and the individual to be. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Christmas - Gifts to the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 18, 2016

The gift that is most precious to the Lord is gratitude for the gifts He gives us. When we offer to Him spiritual gold, frankincense, and myrrh, we acknowledge Him as the source of all good and truth in our life in the head, the heart, and in the world around us. That acknowledgement is worship. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Why We Have Sacraments 1- Baptism

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 18, 2016

This Sunday we have the privilege of witnessing an infant baptism. And so, in the sermon, we’re going to be talking about baptism and Holy Supper. Here’s a passage to get you thinking about the topic. Have you ever had thoughts along these lines? If the spiritual meaning of the Word had not been disclosed,… [people] might mutter and say to themselves, “What is baptism but pouring water on a baby’s head? What does that do for the baby’s salvation? What is the Holy Supper but taking bread and wine? What does that do for our salvation? For that matter, what is holy about these rituals, other than the fact that the ecclesiastical hierarchy has traditionally accepted them as sacred and divine and has commanded us to observe them? Although the churches claim that when the Word of God is brought near the elements they become sacred, these rituals are essentially just ceremonial.” … Yet from the point of view of their spiritual meaning, these two sacraments are the holiest acts of worship. (True Christianity §667) When we understand the significance of baptism and Holy Supper they can become a very meaningful part of our spiritual lives, rather than just arbitrary seeming rituals. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Seeing the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 07, 2016

We trust our senses. If I see something with my own eyes I know it's real, and if I can't see it I might question if it's real. Yet we believe in the Lord and none of us has seen Him. We'll talk about how we can see the Lord and about why it's important, and even vital, that we see Him. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Westville, RSA

Becoming Truly New Church

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 12, 2016

This message considers what it means to truly be New Church. It seems that it is more than identification with a set of teachings or a religious community. Instead, it is something that a person grows into as they allow the Lord to lead them on a journey where they gradually become and angel and experience more and more of His peace and joy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

How Do You Read the Bible?

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 05, 2016

This message examines one of the fundamental elements that makes the New Christianity, or New Church, "new".

As We Also Forgive Our Debtors

Worship Service: Sermon only - June 05, 2016

Have you ever wondered why people in the New Church say the Lord's prayer a bit differently from a lot of other churches? One of the differences is that we say, "and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors." Do you know what that means? How are debts different from trespasses? This sermon puts them in context. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
