Technology - Useful Tool or Useless Distraction
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 20, 2020
We live in a world of technology, all the more so since the advent of COVID-19. This pandemic has highlighted the blessing of technology, as it allows us to carry on work safely, to connect with loved ones around the world, even to attend church while not being able to attend in person. But it has also highlighted the downsides of technology, as we yearn to get back to in-person connection and struggle with the frustrating limits of technology. As with any tool, technology will be useful or useless depending on how much it is used in the service of what is spiritual. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Being Free to Choose a Better Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - September 06, 2020
The Lord healed a man who had been possessed by demons. These demons kept him from being near others and caused him to harm himself. The Lord has promised that this kind of possession can no longer take place but He does want us to recognize how evil spirits try to influence our thoughts and actions in ways that also separate us from others and are hurtful to ourselves. He would heal us of this influence with our cooperation. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hope that We Can Change
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 06, 2020
Subtitle: Healing a Demon-Possessed Man. Sometimes we can feel stuck in a pattern of reacting to people and events in ways that aren't good for us or for the people around us. Even as we recognize something of the problem, our efforts to change may not apparently have much effect. The Lord has given us many stories of how He healed people while He was in the world. As we understand these stories, they can give us hope that the Lord can bring about profound changes within our lives that will be blessing to all. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Relationships, Part 3: Distinctly One
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 06, 2020
The ultimate expression of love is to feel the joy of another person as if it were your own joy. This is expressed in the great commandment that we are to love others as we love ourselves, such that we rejoice in their happiness and feel pain at their hurt. At the same time there are limits and boundaries to how much we feel another as ourselves. Even as we empathize, we also need to maintain our independence, lest we get sucked in and lose ourselves. The Word gives us guidance on how to both reach out and remain separate in a healthy way. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Faith that Brings Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 30, 2020
The Lord offers happiness when our good actions match loves and thoughts that He alone gives through His Word. If we do things just so people will think we are good, then we will feel empty inside. The Lord has good advice for how to avoid that emptiness. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Essentials of the New Church
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 30, 2020
In the book "Apocalypse Revealed" the Lord boils the New Church down to two fundamental concepts referred to as 'the Two Witnesses.' When we start thinking about faith based on these two simple concepts, it brings a wholeness, life and compassionate understanding to our entire faith structure. If we ignore one or the other, our faith becomes harsh, judgmental and shortsighted. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

We might compare the various parts of our lives to different colored gumballs in a jar. Some colors represent positive things from the Lord. Others represent problems.

The Spiritual Components of Disease
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 23, 2020
We think of diseases as something caused by a virus, a bacterium, a lifestyle habit, or the like. The Lord gives a lot of teaching about the impact of the spiritual world and our spiritual choices on disease. We'll look at ways to weave together the ways our spiritual choices can make a difference to the presence of disease in the world and in our lives, while still acknowledging the common understanding of science. | By Rev.

Relationships - Part 2 - What God Has Joined Together
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 23, 2020
Relationships, including marriage, fulfil many human needs, from basic economics to deep companionship and beyond. But the deepest component of marriage is spiritual. It is not just about the relationship of a husband and wife with each other, but also the relationship of each with the Lord. Working on this part of the relationship, and working towards it even as a single person, deepens and enriches all the other pieces that go with marriage. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Boundaries
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 23, 2020
When we spend a lot of time together working and living, it is easy to have friction and conflict. Establishing good boundaries gives people on both sides freedom. “I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.” (Genesis 31:43-55, Married Love 56.2) | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
