False Humility
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 14, 2021
Jesus teaches that the first will be last, and the last first. He also teaches that he who would be great must become a servant. To be meek and mild therefore seems like the goal we should all aspire to. And this is true! But sometimes our very pursuit of humility can be hijacked by pride and turned into just one more means of gratifying our pride. Humility can be falsified, and true humility may look far more boisterous and assertive than we imagine. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Listening with Compassion
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 07, 2021
Week 4 of the Journey program "Tell Me More". In the Parable of the Good Samaritan the Lord presents a scenario in which the listener is invited to consider who was neighbor toward the man who fell among theives - the priest, Levite or Samaritan. The first two "passed by" on the other side but the third stopped and "had compassion" (Luke 10:33). Sometimes our compassion toward others is spontaneous, at other times it's not - why is that and what can we do to be more consistent? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Religion and Politics - 2 - Heavenly Leadership
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 31, 2021
It’s often taken as a given that politicians will be self-serving, corrupt, incompetent, or all of the above. They seem to rank just below lawyers as the butt of jokes. Yet the position of being a government official is in itself, or at least ought to be, a sacred one. Anytime someone enters into leadership they take on the responsibility to serve, and the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. This Sunday we will look at how leadership works in heaven (and by contrast, in hell) and see what we can learn both about our own governments and our own roles as leaders. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Listening with Patience
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 24, 2021
In Week 2 of our new Journey series, "Tell Me More," we consider the story of the Lord's visit to the home of tow sisters, Mary and Martha. As Martha rushes around getting things ready for her Guest, she complains that she's having to do all the housework herself while Mary just sits there listening to the Lord (see Luke 10:38-42). We are, of course, tempted to side with Martha - she has a point - but the Lord's response reveals a "missing ingredient" that an easily overlooked.

Religion and Politics, 1, Seeking the Lord's Justice in a Corrupt World
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 24, 2021
We don’t often talk about politics in church and with good reason. It can be done wrong in so many ways. And maybe it is better for there to be a “separation between church and state” in society. However, it’s not good for there to be that separation within an individual—it’s not good for there to be a separation between church and state in you. What can we do to try to better integrate our spiritual beliefs and our political beliefs? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

What Do You Pay Attention To?

Pharoah's daughter had eyes to see a basket floating among the reeds and ears to hear baby Moses crying and responded with compassion. The Lord also wants us to be able to listen to others so that we can be wisely kind to them. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Listening with Awareness
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 17, 2021
This week we begin a new Journey series on listening, "Tell Me More". Being wisely kind to others involves listening to them. It is hard to be helpful if you don't know what another person is thinking and why. In Exodus 2 we read about how Pharoah's daughter noticed a basket floating at a distance. Sensing its potential importance, she had a servant get it, finding the baby Moses within. Her seeing, listening, and responding were essential for the Lord's plan to lead the Israelites out of slavery. The "Tell Me More" series runs from October 17 to November 7, 2021. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
