What do we mean when we talk about “the Word?” Is it just a book on an altar? Or is it more than that? This Sunday we’ll explore what it means to be guided by “the Word.” | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall"To Leap Like a Deer"
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 13, 2022
No other large wild animal lives freely all around us the way that deer do. Their qualities are often described in the Word, some of which are quite relevant to Valentine's Day, which we celebrate on the 14th. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralExperiencing the Holy Spirit

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 13, 2022
For all of us, life will end in death. But it won’t really end there: after the body dies the spirit continues to live. This Sunday we will look at the journey of self-discovery that awaits us on the other side, and give some thought to how it might shape how we live in the her and now. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 06, 2022
Does the Lord have a difficult time ruling the universe? Is anything difficult for the Lord? We tend to create our own list of what's easy and what's hard but how does our list compare to the Lord's? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe 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 CathedralTo 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, RSAMicah and the Danites

What does it mean to have the Lord be our shepherd? How is He trying to care for us and what is our role in following Him? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralI Will Fear No Evil
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 30, 2022
The confidence and peace that is spoken of in Psalm 23 sometimes eludes us. The destructive effects of evil are apparent within and around us. What is a good confidence in the Lord's loving and wise care of all of us? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralDaily 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, RSASelf-Sacrifice

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 CathedralLook 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 CathedralDaily 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, RSAComing Through the Fire

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego followed the Lord even when doing so meant they would be thrown into a fiery furnace. How can we find that kind of courage and confidence? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
