Helping Others Grow
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 01, 2021
What do you do when you see or think you see a problem or significant fault in another person's life? How often do your efforts to help that person see the issue result in a good outcome? The Lord has some fundamental things to teach us about how we can be most constructive in these interactions with others. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Genuine Goodness - 1 - Doing Good When You Don't Feel Like It
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 01, 2021
There’s something in each of us that wants to be good—that wants to make the world a better place. But how do we do that? There’s a lot to talk about here. For this Sunday we’re going to start with the rather mundane topic of the good things that we do that we don’t feel like doing. We all have things that we are asked to do, required to do, nagged into doing, or have to do because nobody else is going to do it. Often we don’t feel like doing those things. Should we do them anyway? Should we not? Let’s talk about it on Sunday. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Responding to Evil
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 25, 2021
Perhaps the clearest command that the Lord gives us in regards to evil-doers is that we ought to forgive them. This command is one of the hardest commands to follow and it is crucial for our spiritual well-being. Yet if forgiveness is our only response to evil then we miss the bigger picture. So in addition to forgiveness, what else does the Lord teach us about responding to evil? This Sunday we will explore how to broaden our view of that response. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Friendship
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 25, 2021
Friendships don't just fall on our laps. They require work and a commitment to honesty and integrity if we wish to have meaningful ones. The quality of a friendship is dependent upon our willingness to grow and mature spiritually. We'll consider the types of things that fill the "space" between ourselves and others remembering that "anyone can befriend another, but most of all we ought to befriend what is good" (AC 4804). | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Most Important Thing

Steps toward knowing God
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 11, 2021
We can take “Steps towards Knowing God” by understanding the levels of reality, beginning with the Lord as the Sun of Heaven, which enlightens and enlivens the three levels of the heavens and the human mind. These concepts are like steps on Jacob’s Ladder (Genesis 28:12-13, True Christianity 24). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Our Relationship with What the Lord Teaches - 1 - General Principles
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 04, 2021
Here’s one expression of our relationship with what the Lord teaches: “God said it. I believe it. That settles it!” It’s not quite that simple, is it? What should our relationship with statements in the Lord’s Word be? What if we don’t understand them or don’t believe them? Do we reject them? Do we tell ourselves to believe them anyway? There are big ramifications to how we hold our relationship with what the Lord teaches so let’s talk about it this Sunday. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
