Open Your Treasure

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 22, 2024

The Lord encourages us to lay up treasures in heaven (Mt. 6:20) but it’s also a good practice to “open” our treasures so that they can be seen and shared with others. The wise men did this when presenting their gifts to the young Child. It says, “and when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him…” (Mt. 2:10). Why didn’t the wise men let Jesus’ parents open the gifts? Why did they open them first? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Trampling the Serpent

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 15, 2024

There are prophecies of the Lord’s coming scattered throughout the Old Testament. Many of these are well known: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” for example. But the first prophecy of the Lord’s coming is much more obscure and less well known. It is spoken by Jehovah to the serpent in the Garden of Eden: I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall trample your head, And you shall batter His heel. Not your usual Christmas cheer perhaps, but this prophecy describes the purpose of the Lord’s coming: to confront the selfishness that rises like a serpent within each of us and trample it down until we can be saved from it. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Good News to All People

Worship Service: Informal Family - December 08, 2024

To kick off our Carol Sing we will begin with a worship service in the church for the whole family. The news of Christmas was not just for a few people, but for all people, no matter who or where or when. Although “all people” covers a lot of diversity, we are all united when we come to the Lord together. We get a taste of this when we sing joyfully about the Lord together: all our individual voices are joined into one voice, united in our common love for the Lord. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Word Became Flesh

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 01, 2024

In two of the Gospels the Christmas story is told in the familiar way: Jesus was born to a virgin, Mary, born in Bethlehem, and visited by Shepherds and Wise Men. Yet the Gospel of John tells the same story in a far more enigmatic way: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:1, 14) What was this “Word”? And what does it mean for it to have become “Flesh?” These details tells us something important about the Lord’s coming into the World, and even about how we still relate to Him today. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Recognizing the Lord

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 01, 2024

“Recognizing the Lord” The people surrounding the Lord at His birth recognized Him as more than an ordinary Child. The wise men in particular had knowledge and understanding of who He is. For us, recognizing people we love can cause a spontaneous and warm response. What would it take for us to react the same way to the Lord? | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Recognizing the Lord

Worship Service: Sermon only - December 01, 2024

“Recognition” It is common for us to rejoice when we see someone we love after a long absence. We know their face, we have history with them, and we look to continue the relationship by building new memories. The Lord invites us to that same relationship with Him, inspiring us to recognize Him, welcome Him, and build a life together with Him that consists of blessings and preparation for heaven. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Even if we feel that we are inadequately prepared for the challenge, the Lord always provides what we need in order to get through it. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
