From Disbelief to Joy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 04, 2021
Easter is an opportunity to reflect on the Lord’s life, death, and resurrection. But what if you’re not sure what you believe about all of that? Or what if you believe that it happened but it doesn’t feel particularly relevant to your life? In either case, you’re in good company. On Easter morning the disciples did not immediately believe that the Lord had risen from the dead. It took them a while and a number of experiences to get to the point where they believed that it was true. On Sunday we’ll look at some of the stories after the Lord’s resurrection from the Gospel of Luke and what we can learn from them about the process of growing in our belief in the Lord. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Clothes on the Road
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 28, 2021
Why did people put their clothes on the donkey and on the road to prepare for the Lord’s triumphal entry? In what way can we also put our “clothes on the road” to make way for the Lord in our life? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Palm Sunday: The Lord Coming to Help
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 28, 2021
The people of Jerusalem rejoiced as Jesus rode into the city on Palm Sunday. But they didn't know what kind of a leader He intended to be. Can we accept the Lord as a God who comes to help us? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Coming Kingdom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 28, 2021
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey the onlookers took it to be an ancient symbol of kingship. And indeed, it was. Yet their expectations of that coming kingdom were far removed from the kingdom that Jesus sought to establish. Jesus knew that the people expected an immediate overthrow of oppression and the onset of an earthly kingdom with Jesus as their benevolent ruler. The kingdom Jesus actually established was one of hard work and repentance, in other words, a spiritual kingdom. This Sunday we will look at how our own expectations are contrary to what the Lord actually intends for us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Finding Jesus in the Lives of the Prophets - Ezekiel
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 21, 2021
The role of the prophets was to communicate God’s messages to the people. They did that by speaking and writing but also by embodying the message they were communicating in one way or another. The prophet Ezekiel was often commanded to do some rather weird things to embody the messages he was communicating. This Sunday we will be trying to understand why he did these things and what that can reveal to us about why Jesus did the things that He did as the Word made flesh who dwelt among us. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Conjugial Love, a Most Precious Gem of the New Church
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - March 14, 2021
The Lord is constantly working in the most specific ways with each of us from the beginning of life to lead us to be happily married to eternity. While we are unaware of this, the Lord teaches us things we can also do to help prepare for marriage. This is why our religion, with its teachings, is so inseparably tied in with conjugial love and its promise for happiness. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Conjugial Love, a Most Precious Gem of the New Church
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 14, 2021
The New Church offers a unique view of marriage that is inseparably tied in with the life of the church and its teachings . By definition, because of its origin, and from the nature of its love, the New Church vision of marriage is different from the way marriage and its love is defined in our culture today. That unique view invites a different approach to attaining that love. It also promises a love that is eternal in nature and is in its essence heavenly. It is truly a most precious gift from the Lord alone. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Finding Jesus in the Lives of the Prophets - Jeremiah
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 14, 2021
This week we continue to look at how the Old Testament prophets reflect the life of Jesus. This Sunday we turn to Jeremiah. Jeremiah lived in a time when impending invasion and doom hung over the people of Israel, and yet the prophets promised peace and prosperity. Jeremiah's role was to proclaim the reality that things would get worse before they got better unless they changed their ways. This seemingly pessimistic message echoed the spiritual message that Jesus brought hundreds of years later: this time a spiritual doom threatened, and Jesus urgently pushed people to repentance lest they be overcome by sin. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Finding Jesus in the Lives of the Prophets - Isaiah
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 07, 2021
The teachings of the New Church say that the whole of the Word relates to the Lord Jesus Christ and what He went through while on Earth. And so we’ve done sermon series in the past on finding Jesus in the life of Abraham, Joshua, and Elisha. This time we’re going to focus on three of the major prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. This will be a chance to learn a bit about these prophets, about what the Lord went through on Earth, and about the role of a prophet in difficult times. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Accepting Kindness and Wise Kindness
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 07, 2021
For the final week of our “Practicing Kindness” series, we will look at the familiar story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). In this story, we see all the many kinds of kindness we’ve talked about in this series, represented in the acts of the good Samaritan. And we will also explore what it means to accept kindness from others, as the wounded man did in this story. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
