Living in a Post-Apocalyptic World - Part 2 - New Foundations
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 14, 2020
The New Church teaches that the Apocalypse has already taken place: in fact, it took place over 250 years ago, as the New Church was being born into the world. Understanding the spiritual events from that time period can help us better understand the world we live in today. Last week, Malcolm talked about how the mere existence of the New Church did not automatically make people better: even New Church people have, and still can, support abhorrent practices. This week we will talk about the difference the New Church does make, and why it matters that a New Church was established and continues to exist. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Restoring Innocence
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 07, 2020
In Revelation 5 the Lord is pictured as a Lamb that appeared to have been slain. It is a picture of how humanity has been continually trying to destroy innocence. This is because He is Innocence itself. In our world of racial conflict and pain, imagine how better things would be if we were all more innocent. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA

Living in a Post-Apocalyptic World - Part 1 - The Larger Narrative
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 07, 2020
Things in the world these days can seem rather apocalyptic. Intriguingly the teachings of the New Church say that the apocalypse has already happened, over 250 years ago in fact. What does that mean for us today? How can that larger narrative help us to understand what's going on in the world at the moment? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Standing Against Injustice
How do we behave in times of injustice? What can we do? It is our duty to stand up to injustice, to stand against evil, and to stand up for our neighbor. These are paramount to creating a better world. Without them, we fall into chaos. Elmo's church: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Rb...

How Are You Doing?
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 31, 2020
Why would the omnipotent God of the universe ask a mere mortal a question? Wouldn't He already know the answer? Yet there are many examples of God asking questions in the Word. God does not ask questions so He can learn the answer; He asks questions so that we have a chance to reflect and respond in the context of His perspective. In a similar vein, there is value in letting the Lord know "how we're doing." He already knows of course; we don't have to tell Him anything. But this Sunday we will explore the value of reflecting on how we are doing and sharing that reflection with the Lord. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Misconceptions of Providence - 3 - It's all God or it's all me
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 24, 2020
In this sermon series we’ve talked about how the Lord is working in every little detail of what happens in our lives. That can be a profoundly comforting thought but, in other moods, it can make us feel like it doesn’t matter what we do. If it’s all in God’s control, then our decisions mean nothing, really. In other moods, it can feel like God is just some distant force (if He’s there at all) and it’s entirely up to us to figure out what we need to do with our lives and what God is doing or not doing is largely irrelevant to our daily lives. The teachings of the New Church provide another option for how to understand this. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Jonah the prophet was told by the Lord to go to Nineveh, to preach against their wickedness. But instead he went the opposite direction, and was eventually cast into the sea and swallowed by a great fish, which was prepared by the Lord for him. What is the "whale" or the "great fish" that swallows us up? And how is that part of the Lord's love for us? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Allow Your Life to be Interrupted
In the story of Jesus and the centurion, Jesus allows himself to be interrupted. He does this all the time! And for a Jew and Gentile to interact in such a way at such a time exemplifies the power of healing. So maybe let's take a note from Jesus and allow some interruptions.
