Raising Lazarus from the Dead
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 03, 2022
When the Lord raised Lazarus from the dead He showed He had all power, even power over life and death. He also showed that in using his power, He always acts from love and for love. We can't do everything the Lord can do but the Lord gives us the power to do good when we follow the path the Lord modelled for us. (John 11) | By Rev. Barry C. Halterman | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Jesus Wept: The Human Side of God
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 03, 2022
Throughout the history of religion, God's various qualities have been depicted in various ways in the many different cultures across the globe.

Legitimate Authority
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 03, 2022
We see so much abuse of power in the world—countless examples of people using their influence on other people in harmful ways. But what does legitimate authority look like? What sort of claims to authority by other people should we reject and resist and what ones should we comply with? And what kind of authority over other people should we aspire to? Let’s see what we can learn about this from the One who is all-powerful. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Prayer: Leaving the Lord to Decide

Reading the Word
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 27, 2022
We've heard how important it is for us to read the Word on a regular basis. But what does it actually do - for the angels and for us? And how can this be a useful endeavor even if our eyesight is not so crisp, or we feel that there is not much use we can do for others? | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Faith: A Source of Death and Life
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 27, 2022
The internal sense of the story of Cain and Abel reflects the reality that religious knowledge can be both a source of death and a source of life. Why was Abel’s offering favored by the Lord and not Cain’s? Why was Cain protected even after committing a terrible act? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Even the Wind and Sea Obey Him
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 27, 2022
The disciples once found themselves in the midst of a terrible storm, out on the water in a little boat. The boat was sinking and they thought they were going to die until Jesus stood up and rebuked the wind and the sea and suddenly there was calm. This Sunday we will reflect on this story and what it can teach us about how the Lord can help us to find peace in the midst of the storms that we encounter in our lives. | By Rev. Malcolm G.

Wilderness Training
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 20, 2022
When the Israelites learned they would have to fight their way into Canaan, fear gripped their hearts and they refused to enter it. As a consequence, they ended up "wandering" the wilderness for 40 years and yet this time wasn't pointless or wasted. They learned five important wilderness tasks along the way which filled their lives with purpose and meaning. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Wandering Years
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 20, 2022
We typically think of the activity of "wandering" as being directionless or aimless and yet the Israeliste's 40-year period in the wilderness ended up being filled with purpose and meaning because the Lord was doing the leading. The Lord had a plan. This Biblical narrative helps put in perspective the apparent "randomness" of our own spiritual journey. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Softening of Spring
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 20, 2022
In order for plants to grow in the spring, the ground needs to soften and the ice needs to melt into water. A similar process needs to happen in our spiritual lives. In 1 Samuel 26, the story of the hardened and resentful King Saul softening because of David’s mercy can symbolize a springtime state for us as well. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Picking and Choosing
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 20, 2022
Why don’t you care about people? That’s a harsh accusation, and hopefully it’s not true. But in one sense it could be: with over 7 billion people on this planet, we simply cannot actively care about everyone. Thankfully, the Lord does not ask us to throw ourselves wholeheartedly into every cause that crosses our paths. He gives us ways to care for mankind even us we pick and choose which causes we will invest in. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Speckled and Spotted
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 13, 2022
Jacob took all the speckled, spotted and black among the lambs, sheep and goats (Genesis 30:25-43). The Lord gathers all of us imperfect people into His flock. No one has pure goodness. Some evil can’t be mixed with good, and some can (Secrets of Heaven 3993:5-9). Wheat gets mixed with tares (Matthew 13:24-30). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

War and Providence
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 13, 2022
With the conflict in Ukraine on so many people’s minds at the moment it feels like it could be useful for us to reflect on teachings from the Lord’s Word about war and providence. There are big picture questions to consider like, why does our loving God allow something as terrible as war? And there are also more day-to-day questions to consider like, how much time should we spend thinking about conflicts in other parts of the world and what, if anything, can we do to try to make things better? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Constellations
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 06, 2022
Stars are mentioned many times in the Word. The Writings tell us that “stars symbolize concepts of Divine goodness and Divine truth drawn from the Word” (AR 534). Constellations are pictures that we draw by connecting the dots of the stars. How do we connect the dots of various truths, and how does that help us navigate our spiritual lives? | By Rev.

Washing Our Feet

This Sunday we will explore how we can better invite this love into our lives, as well as how we can pass it on to others. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Why is Heaven Such a Happy Place?
