Love Your Enemies

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 19, 2020

The Lord on earth gave a lot of attention to loving our enemies and New Church teaching confirms that it is vital for our spiritual health. Yet it's one of the hardest commandments to follow. What does the Lord actually expect of us, and how do we go about loving our enemies in a way that is healthy, not papering over what is wrong or being overly harsh? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Communicating Through Disagreement

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 12, 2020

How are we supposed to communicate with people with whom we completely disagree, or with people who hate us or our loved ones? Is it best to allow them to talk, or to tell them they are wrong, or do we just unfriend them? Here, we look at some modern examples and how those line up with what the Lord tells us in His Word. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

How Does the Lord Want Us to React to Evil?

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 12, 2020

Sometimes people seem to think that the Lord wants everything we do to seem "nice." This is a false idea. Sometimes we need to strongly defend other people and what is good and true. But when James and John asked if they could call fire from heaven to destroy a Samaritan village, they thought it was a just punishment for the bad choices of that village. Jesus strongly disagreed. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

What Unites Us and What Separates Us

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 12, 2020

As Jesus traveled toward Jerusalem a Samaritan village refused to have Him and His disciples stay there. James and John asked if they could call fire down from heaven to destroy the village. Jesus sternly rebuked them. We have parts of our mind like these two disciples that are all too ready to condemn and wish bad things on others. The Lord would wish a different response in our lives. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Fools for Christ

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 12, 2020

The wisdom of God seems like foolishness to the world, and so following God's wisdom inevitably leads to us feeling foolish. The pressure to give in and embrace the "wisdom" of the world can be strong. Resisting takes sacrifice, from passing on a promotion, to ending a relationship, to letting go of ego, and beyond. But until we are willing to be seen as fools by the world, we are not able to fully follow the Lord. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Overcoming Tyranny

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 05, 2020

The American colonists knew that they needed to go to war to overcome, King George III of England who had become a tyrant. In the same way, we need to fight with the Lord to overcome the spiritual tyrants who seek to harm us. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA

You Have Enemies and You Need to Love Them

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 05, 2020

If I asked you, "Do you have any enemies?" you would probably answer, "No." I think most people don't think that they have any enemies. So does the Lord's revolutionary command to love our enemies not really apply to most of us? Well, we all have people that we treat as enemies and we need to recognise that fact. And then we need to learn what it means to love them and then do it. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Declarations and Revolutions

Worship Service: Sermon only - July 05, 2020

With Independence Day falling one day prior, we dive into the problems as well as the power of the "proprium" or selfhood of a nation, a church, and a person, and examine how the foundations that lead to greatness can also lead to division. | By Rev. Christopher A Barber | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Preach to Nineveh

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 05, 2020

Jonah was called by the Lord to preach to foreign non-believers at Ninevah. There was a problem though - Jonah didn't want to preach to anyone who was not already of the faith. This week we will look at our inclination to assist only people we like, and how we can find it in our hearts to be servants of all. | By Rev. Christopher A Barber | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Voices of Good and Evil

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 28, 2020

With each person there are at least two evil spirits connected to hell and two good spirits of angels connected to the Lord and heaven. Are we allowing the Lord to talk to us through that soft angelic voice? | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA
