Miracles
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 15, 2020
The Lord did many miracles when He was on earth. We don't see those kinds of miracles today, but we do experience them in our lives if we look hard enough. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralMiracles Today
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 15, 2020
Do you believe in miracles? Have you ever witnessed a miracle? Would you recognize one if you saw one? | By Rev. N. Bruce Rogers | Bryn Athyn CathedralNature - Part 4 - Humanity and Usefulness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 15, 2020
So far in our series on nature we have seen how the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms all reflect the Lord and His relationship with us. In our concluding sermon we turn to humanity itself. Everything that the Lord created, He did so for the sake of humanity. We are to subdue the Earth and have dominion over the animals. Yet that does not mean we can take creation for granted and abuse it. Our dominion is solely for the purpose of what is useful and good. We are stewards, rather than the owners, of the world that God has lent to us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAMemorial Service for Daniel James Norman

| By Rev. Brett D. Buick | Kempton, PANature - Part 3 - Animals and Ecosystems
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 08, 2020
In our third sermon on the natural world we’re going to consider the animal kingdom. Why are there animals in this world we live in—from the smallest insect to the biggest whale—why are they here? Why are they part of the world that the Lord created and what purpose do they serve? This will also be an opportunity to reflect on topics like the theory of evolution from the perspective of New Church teachings and how we can cultivate a good spiritual ecosystem. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSABringing the Lord into Our Home

Candidate Justin Schorran. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." The Lord wills to be a part of our house and our lives. What can we do to bring Him in? | By Rev. Justin Schorran | Bryn Athyn CathedralReceiving Good Things from the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 08, 2020
The Lord constantly works to give good things to us beyond measure, but we don't always feel well cared for by Him. Why is this sometimes the case and what can we do to increase our awareness of the blessings He is bringing to our lives? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Lord's Breath
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 08, 2020
In John 20, the disciples thought the Lord was dead. But then the Lord appeared to them and said, “Peace be with you.” He then breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” What does this story teach us about how the Lord comforts us, and how we can actively trust in the Lord?

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 01, 2020
Theme: Trusting in the Lord. Peter walked on water to the Lord, an incredible act of trust. We can experience that miracle in our own lives too. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralTrusting in the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 01, 2020
We know we are supposed to trust in the Lord, but at times it certainly is hard to do. We will look at what trust means and how we can go about it better. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralNature - Part 2 - Vegetation and Growth
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 01, 2020
We continue our examination of the natural world in light of its spiritual source. Last week we saw the order inherent in minerals and all physical things, reflecting the presence of God even at the atomic level. This week we move beyond inert rocks and turn towards living, growing vegetation. Within every seed the Lord has placed the potential for infinitely expanding life, reproducing, if given a chance, eternally and infinitely. In this we see the inherent quality of life from the Lord: it never ceases to grow, and would, if given the chance, fill the entire universe with Divine Love. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAMemorial Service for Rev. Frank S. Rose

The final week of our series on Resilience is about focusing on others. Service to others makes us healthy, whole and happy, which is the Lord's goal for us. The purpose of all the challenges for Joseph and his brothers was that the Lord could provide for them and all of Egypt through the work He would do through Joseph. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn CathedralResilience: Focus on Others
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 25, 2020
Resilience helps us get through difficult times, and an important factor in being resilient is focusing on others and being of use. Having a positive impact on others not only helps us survive challenges, but is the final goal the Lord has for us in heaven. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn CathedralNature - Part 1 - The Mineral Kingdom and Structure
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 25, 2020
For the next few weeks we’re going to have a bit of a change of pace—we’ll be doing a sermon series on the natural world and its connection to the spiritual world. This Sunday we’ll be talking about the least alive parts of the natural world—the rocks and minerals. In future weeks we’ll talk about vegetation and animals. This Sunday we’re also going to talk about the structure and design of it all with maybe a little chemistry and physics thrown in for fun. The goal is that you’ll come away from the sermon looking at the world around you with a fresh perspective. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSASimple Obedience

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 25, 2020
For the last week of the series on Resilience, we will look at the end of the Joseph story in which Joseph’s brothers and father settle in Egypt. Jacob meets Joseph’s sons and after Jacob dies, Joseph reassures his brothers that he will provide for them. One of the things that makes us most resilient is our connections with other people. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallDeveloping A Strong Faith

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 18, 2020
Joseph's brothers had hated him, resenting Joseph's dreams of them bowing down to him. In spite of all the brothers had done, Joseph was able to forgive them and even recognize that God had been guiding all that happened to care for them all. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralCompassion and Reconciliation
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 18, 2020
The story of Joseph is both a story of intense family conflict and on a deeper plane a story of how the Lord miraculously creates our minds anew. Underlying both is the theme of compassion and seeing the Lord's loving care for our lives leading us to a happier and more useful life then we could ever imagine. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralStages of Life - Part 4 - Old Age
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 18, 2020
Old age can be a time of great reflection: looking back on what has been, looking forward with wonder to what is to come after death. It can also be a time of trial and tribulation: as the body and mind fail, doubt and despair can creep in. Moses, at the end of his life, was able to reflect on the past and from that gracefully hand over his wisdom to the next generation. As we look at this concluding stage of life in this world, we will look at how we too can gracefully age and handover to the next generation. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
