Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh." (Luke 6 :20-21).

An Eternal Perspective
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 28, 2021
As another year draws to a close and as many people are dealing with the stress of a manic time of year, let’s turn to the Lord’s Word this Sunday for passages about the Lord’s eternal perspective. Let’s zoom out for a few minutes on Sunday and think about what will still matter in a hundred years or a thousand years and then see if we can bring some of that perspective back into all that we’re trying to do before the end of the year. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Collecting Vessels: New Church Education
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 21, 2021
Periodically, it is useful to reflect on the importance of New Church education and ask why we put so much time and energy into New Church schools. They generally aren’t money makers for the Church. Teaching and upholding new Church values is difficult. So why do we bother? Because of VESSELS! New Church education is all about providing appropriate vessels for our children so that they can learn most effectively. Also, children themselves are vessels and designed to receive input. Their minds are like dry sponges waiting to soak up anything that they hear. And that is why New Church education becomes so vitally important. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Westville, RSA

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

Listening with Compassion
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 07, 2021
When Hagar faces an incredibly difficult situation, she makes a rash decision. Rather than chastising her or punishing her, the Lord responds with compassion and helps her save her son. We can follow the Lord's example in this story and learn to listen with compassion, even when people may not be communicating in the healthiest way. | By Steven Gunther | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
