Becoming One Flesh
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 19, 2024
“Becoming One Flesh” In the story of creation, it says that the Lord created male and female and then there is a beautiful phrase near the end of the story where the Lord says that the man and his wife shall become one flesh. We will be looking at what it really means to become one flesh in the eyes of the Lord, and how by making males and females wonderfully unique and different, actually allows for the Lord to create a more perfect whole when they are joined together in marriage. However, some people worry that if a husband and wife seek to become one, then they will inevitably lose their sense of individual identity. We will explore if this is really the case, and whether it is something to worry about! | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Anxiety
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 19, 2024
Anxiety is all around us in today’s world. It is in ourselves, our friends, our communities. Does this abundant anxiety exemplify a lack of faith in the Lord? Not necessarily. It is true that faith in the Lord can help overcome anxiety; and as we grow in faith we may find that anxiety lessens. But as long as we love what is good, we will feel fear when that good thing is put at risk. The real question is what will we do with the anxiety that we feel, and can we be motivated by it to make a more loving, safe, world? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Widow's Oil
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 12, 2024
(2 Kings 4:1-7) A poor widow saved her two sons when her small jar of oil kept pouring and pouring into borrowed vessels. As the Lord prepares us for life in heaven, there’s a lot we can learn from other people. But in the end, the Lord wants us to use the goodness and truth He provides as if it actually belonged to us. | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Borrow Vessels, Shut the Door
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 12, 2024
2 Kings 4: 1-7. To make possible the miraculous regeneration of her small jar of oil, Elisha instructed the indebted widow to “borrow vessels” and “shut the door.” The imagery here suggests that our spiritual lives develop as a result of some combination of both “borrowed states” and the private decisions of our conscience. | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Battles We Never Fight
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 05, 2024
Have you ever seen a person who struggles with some particular evil and thought to yourself, “I’m so glad that I’ve never had to deal with that”? It helps to put our own struggles into perspective when we can see how much harder other people have it. We could put much of this up to chance: we happened to be born into a certain family, at a certain time in history, in a particular location. But on closer inspection, none of this is random chance: all of us, like it or not, incline towards the same struggles and challenges as anyone else. It is only through the Lord’s almighty power that we can be held back from falling headlong into unimaginable evils. Today we will explore the ways that the Lord fights battles on our behalf that we will never be aware of, and how much we have to be grateful for. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Giving and Receiving, Part 2, How to Be Helped
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 28, 2024
Everyone needs help; none of us can get through life on our own. And yet when help is available there are many times when we don’t take advantage of it. Why is that? Why especially do we not take advantage of the help that the Lord offers? We’ll explore what gets in the way and how to have a better attitude towards the help that we are given by other people. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Guardians of Holiness
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 28, 2024
One of the most brilliant devices that the Lord has built into creation is His way of protecting us from His overwhelming power, leaving us in freedom to think and do what we want.

“Spiritual Buying and Selling”
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 21, 2024
“Spiritual Buying and Selling” (Matthew 13:45) The Word sometimes compares the spiritual process of regeneration to the process of buying and selling. Often the “selling” part seems difficult, as when the Lord tells the rich young man to sell all that he has. But the selling does not always have to be sorrowful. How can we sell gladly? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Giving and Receiving - Part 1 - How to Give Help
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 21, 2024
When someone you care about is in need, you give them help. That is a good thing, obviously! But what if they don’t want our help? Or if they need a different kind of help? Or if they reject our help? Our immediate response can be hurt; after all, we are trying to help them! But if we are going to truly help people, we need to learn to make it less about us and how we are received, and more about what the person actually needs. Giving help is about the receiver, it is not about the giver. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

"Build houses, plant gardens..."
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 14, 2024
(Jeremiah 29:3) Gardens feature prominently in the Scriptures, beginning with the Garden of Eden in Genesis and ending in Revelation with the garden appearing again, this time in the midst of the Holy City New Jerusalem. It’s significant too that the Lord chose to rise from the tomb in the midst of a garden. All of the physical delights of a garden - the sights, sounds, textures, smells, tastes – represent what happens when we invite the order and symmetry of the truths of the Lord’s Word into our lives. In this service we will explore the profound spiritual principle that our choices determine our spiritual environment. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
