The Parable of the Vineyard
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 16, 2020
The Lord has created this world and all the opportunities it provides us with the hope that our lives will prepare us for heaven. Sadly, some people don't accept the Lord's guidance and live lives that are harmful to themselves and others. The parable of the Vineyard describes what it means to not accept what the Lord wants for us. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

What Becoming Like a Little Child Means
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 16, 2020
Jesus said that we must become like a little children in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Elsewhere He says that we must be born again. We investigate what it means to become the type of humble and wise child who can be part of His kingdom. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA

Relationships - Part 1 - When the Wine Runs Out
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 16, 2020
We’re starting a series on relationships. With the pandemic and lockdown regulations, relationships have been under additional strain for almost half a year. This Sunday we’re going to focus on how to work on our relationships in these weird and hard times and we’ll be using the story of the Wedding at Cana. The story begins with the wine running out at a wedding and this seems to relate to times when all the fun and joy seems to have run out in our relationships. Can the Lord help? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

The Tower of Babel
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 16, 2020
In Genesis 11, all the people on earth went from speaking one language to speaking many different languages. What does this parable symbolize in our spiritual lives? What does it mean to speak a “different language” from someone else in our spiritual lives? And is it possible for us to return to speaking “one language” with the people around us? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

What Do You Need?
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 09, 2020
What do you need? If someone asked you what you wanted right now to be happy, you might come up with a lot of different answers. How would the Lord answer the same question for you and what would that look like? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Time For Reflection
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 09, 2020

Beyond the Prayer
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 09, 2020
Over the last three weeks we have looked at the Lord’s Prayer. In our services, we often follow the Lord’s Prayer with the familiar phrase, “Lord, forgive us our trespasses; as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This is based on the teaching that Jesus gave immediately after giving His disciples His Prayer. Having prayed, it is a useful reminder that we must also live the words that we have spoken; that we must actively work on repentance from sin so we can forgive and be forgiven. So this week we leave the Prayer behind as a spoken conversation with the Lord and turn to how we live it in our daily lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Jonah - Part 3
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 09, 2020
The final section of the Jonah story focuses on his hatred of the people of Nineveh. The question here is, why would we hate people when the Lord encourages us to feel joy when another person feels joy. Or, put differently, to look for reasons why we should love others rather than despise them. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA

The Horses among the Myrtle Trees
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 09, 2020
The horses and their riders were waiting among the myrtle trees in the hollow, having returned from a tour of the land. They reported that the land was resting quietly, but this is not what Zechariah wanted to hear. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Jonah - Part 2
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 02, 2020
Jonah after being rescued from the sea by the sea creature that the Lord prepared, went to Nineveh as commanded. The people of Nineveh heeded the warning and showed their remorse. This is a message about how we all should be listening to both the Lord and the people in our life who help us to see that something about our life is harmful and needs to change. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA

Revisiting the Lord's Prayer - Part 3 - Lead Us Not Into Temptation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 02, 2020
This Sunday we will finish revisiting of the Lord’s Prayer by reflecting on the last two sentences of it. We will be focusing particularly on how the Lord teaches us to pray in times of temptation, crisis, and evil. Sometimes it takes things getting pretty bad to make us resort to giving prayer a try. But, especially if we’re out of practice with praying, and our desperate prayer seems to go unanswered, that can be pretty hard to take. Let’s revisit how to pray about hard things and when things get hard. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Implanting Remains
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 02, 2020
Historically in the New Church there has been a lot of emphasis placed on the importance of implanting remains in our children. However, many parents often wonder if they are doing enough. We'll take a look at all the things the Lord does to ensure that every child has remains implanted and how we can cooperate with the Lord to make His job easier. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Implanting Remains
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 02, 2020
Historically in the New Church there has been a lot of emphasis placed on the importance of implanting remains in our children. However, many parents often wonder if they are doing enough. After witnessing a baptism, we will take the opportunity to reflect on how the promises made at a child's baptism by the parents help the Lord to more easily implant those vital remains in the child. | By Rt.

Revisiting the Lord's Prayer - Part 2 - Freely Gotten, Freely Given Away
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 26, 2020
As we continue our way through the Lord's Prayer the focus pivots away from the God who we pray to and comes to rest on us: we ask that He give us our daily bread and that He forgive our debts. In these two phrases we see the immensity of what we receive from the Lord, and our inability to repay it. Thankfully, He does not ask that we repay. Simply that as we have received, we in turn give. In giving away what we have to others and forgiving our debtors, we also receive from the Lord. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Patriotic Repentance
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 26, 2020
Loving our country sometimes means that we need to examine ourselves as citizens, and as a country, and try to do better. In 1 Samuel 24, Saul was king of Israel, but David was meant to be the new king, and Saul was trying to kill him. David’s actions toward Saul offer us an image of what it means to be a good citizen of our country. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
