Fools for Christ
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 12, 2020
The wisdom of God seems like foolishness to the world, and so following God's wisdom inevitably leads to us feeling foolish. The pressure to give in and embrace the "wisdom" of the world can be strong. Resisting takes sacrifice, from passing on a promotion, to ending a relationship, to letting go of ego, and beyond. But until we are willing to be seen as fools by the world, we are not able to fully follow the Lord. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

You Have Enemies and You Need to Love Them
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 05, 2020
If I asked you, "Do you have any enemies?" you would probably answer, "No." I think most people don't think that they have any enemies. So does the Lord's revolutionary command to love our enemies not really apply to most of us? Well, we all have people that we treat as enemies and we need to recognise that fact. And then we need to learn what it means to love them and then do it. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Declarations and Revolutions
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 05, 2020
With Independence Day falling one day prior, we dive into the problems as well as the power of the "proprium" or selfhood of a nation, a church, and a person, and examine how the foundations that lead to greatness can also lead to division. | By Rev. Christopher A Barber | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Preach to Nineveh
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 05, 2020
Jonah was called by the Lord to preach to foreign non-believers at Ninevah. There was a problem though - Jonah didn't want to preach to anyone who was not already of the faith. This week we will look at our inclination to assist only people we like, and how we can find it in our hearts to be servants of all. | By Rev. Christopher A Barber | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Voices of Good and Evil
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 28, 2020
With each person there are at least two evil spirits connected to hell and two good spirits of angels connected to the Lord and heaven. Are we allowing the Lord to talk to us through that soft angelic voice? | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA

Comings and Goings
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 28, 2020
Psalm 121 speaks of the Lord protecting your going out and your coming in. This speaks to times of transition, times in which it is especially crucial that we remain in the Lord’s care. A prominent example is the Children of Israel coming out of slavery in Egypt and going in to possess the Promised Land. But this story also illustrates the struggle of times of transition: between coming out of Egypt and going into the Land there was forty years of wandering the wilderness. As much as we would like to directly leave hardship and enter good times, more often than not there is an intermediate stage of trial and growth that the Lord must lead us through. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 21, 2020
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of New Church Day, our focus is on the sending out of the 12 disciples on June 19, 1770. We have the opportunity to remember together the Christmas Tableaux and the June 19th Pageant, and to ask ourselves what it means to be a disciple of the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M.

Sent Out and Sent Out Again
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 21, 2020
The Child born to the woman clothed with the sun, described in Revelation 12, represents "the doctrine of the New Church" (see Apocalypse Revealed 543). Our opportunity is to focus on the revelation of the Heavenly Doctrines as the fulfillment of that prophecy. Beyond appreciation is the act of being sent out. The real impact of that revelation is people like us choosing to live an authentic New Church life as described in its pages. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Helping Us to See Clearly
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 14, 2020
The Lord wants us to know that we make much better decisions when we can see ourselves and the choices before us in the light of heaven. Harmful things that might seem desirable when we aren't thinking clearly can be seen for what they are. This process is what much of the Book of Revelation describes. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Seeing in the Light of Love and Wisdom
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 14, 2020
Many people reading the Book of Revelation see within its pages a description of an angry and condemning God who inflicts terrible punishment on people who are doing evil things. The teachings of the New Church call us to see these images completely differently. The Lord is revealing the true nature of things as they can be seen in the light of His love and wisdom. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
