When Having the Ark of God Doesn't Help
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 02, 2021
We’re going to look at a story this Sunday where the Children of Israel are facing a powerful enemy and they decide to bring the ark of the covenant into battle with them. But then they get absolutely slaughtered by their enemy. There are other stories in the Bible where the presence of the ark of the covenant with the people brings about a miraculous victory for the Children of Israel. There are also times in our lives where we’re facing something difficult and we feel like we’re making an effort to follow the Lord but He doesn’t seem to be helping at all. What’s going on? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Education, Part 3 - Learning the Lord's Way
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 25, 2021
So far we have seen why education is a necessary part of life and how education is really an opening up of a path to the Lord. This Sunday we will look at some of the ways that we do the actual practice of learning and teaching. For learning to be useful we have to make sure we are taking account of all that the Lord says about our minds and how they grow. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Understanding the Lord's Word
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 18, 2021
There are many wonderful teachings in the Word that remind us of what the Lord wants us to think, do, and say. They remind us of how much He loves us and wants to lead each of us to a heavenly home. There are other statements that seem harsh and cruel. How does the Lord want us to understand them? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hard Statements: Breaking the Two Testaments of Stone
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 18, 2021
Reading particularly in the Old Testament, but also in places in the New Testament, we can run across statements that not only do not reflect a loving God, but actually convey the opposite idea. If we are to hold onto the idea that the Lord is perfect love expressing itself in perfect wisdom, we need to know why the Word speaks so differently from what we might expect. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Authority
Worship Service: Informal Family - April 18, 2021
After the Lord rode triumphantly into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the chief priests, scribes, and elders questioned by what authority He did all these things. His answer was a little strange. We might also wonder about authority. How do we know what we should trust, believe, and obey? What does the Lord teach us about authority? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Education, Part 1 - The Necessity of Education
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 11, 2021
We are beginning a series on education, specifically New Church education. Education is more than just what you learn in school: it is a process of growing from ignorance into wisdom, from selfishness into selflessness, from hell into heaven. This Sunday we will look at the reasons that we all have to learn, and why we need to keep on learning into eternity. Education is something that we can never be done with, especially if we want to follow the Lord and be part of His Kingdom. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Presence of the Lord
Worship Service: Informal Family - April 04, 2021
After the Lord rose from the tomb, He was present with His disciples -- and with all of us -- in a new and different way. Was He more present, or less present? Because of this pandemic, we’ve often been unable to be physically present with our loved ones. But, what can the Easter story teach us about the power of spiritual presence? | By Rev. Solomon J.

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
