Worship Service: Informal Family - January 05, 2020
The Gospel of Matthew’s Christmas story has the dark element of Herod’s murderous rage against the newborn Christ. It was essential that Joseph, Mary and Jesus leave Bethlehem right after Joseph’s dream to find safety in far away Egypt. For each of us there is a similar flight when we recognize an evil thought or motivation in our mind. By doing so we protect the fragile life of heaven that the Lord is bringing to each of us. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallTaking Good Care of Yourself

Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

On a journey far from home, Jacob went to sleep all by himself. He had a dream that showed him a ladder or stairs extending from him up to the Lord with angels coming down and going up on it. He realized he was not alone. If we understand how the Lord is also present with us with angels it can support hope, peace and the strength to do what we need to do. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallWhat Angels Do
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 20, 2019
Useful services are the determining factor in the happiness imparted by the Lord in heaven, and those services are the chief way in which the Lord is worshiped. This goes to explain why John reclined at table on the Lord's breast, and why the Lord loved him more than the rest. It is not on account of John himself, but because he represented times when charity is exercised, or useful services performed (AC 7038:3) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralAngels Love to Be Useful

The natural world can be very frustrating when we focus on the limits it places on our lives. These limits are part of the Lord’s plan of providing us a place to make choices. These choices, large and small, are an opportunity to further define what we make most important. These choices lead to consequences, some happy and others far from it, in this world and the next. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallAn Unfair Fight?
