Misconceptions of Providence - If it happened, it was meant to be
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 10, 2020
We’re starting a sermon series on misconceptions about Divine Providence. Often when something difficult happens we want to know why—why did this happen? Sometimes the answer that people come to is that “it was meant to be”. But is that true? What does that even mean? How should we think about all the different things that happen in our lives? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Know What You Know - Generosity
Message of the Day from Pastor Chuck Blair of New Church LIVE. Matthew 7:6: "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." This is a harsh turn from Jesus's last comedic message about the plank and the speck. And how could this actually tell us something about generosity? Jesus isn't talking about us and them. It's all within us. The functional and dysfunctional. Inner self and outer self. It's about regenerating ourselves and finding a new will and goodness. If pearls are the pieces of Truth that we know to be good and useful, and offer it to the wrong thing within ourselves, of course it's going to be trampled. So maybe this passage is telling us to not feed the demons in ourselves the truth that is for our self-betterment. YouTube video available at https://youtu.be/3IfqKH_vsi0 | By Rev. Charles E.

The Tabernacle, Part 3 - Wrapped in Garments of Salvation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 03, 2020
As we have seen in the past two sermons, the Word's description of the Tabernacle is, spiritually, a description of the many complex things that make up our lives. This week we look not at the Tabernacle itself, but the clothes that the priest had to wear to be able to work in the Tabernacle. These garments stand for the ways that we weave love and goodness into our outer lives so that we can truly reflect the Lord's work in the world. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

What We Learn from the Ups and Downs of Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 03, 2020
As the Lord oversees our lives He knows that our lives won't be nearly as good if everything goes just the way we want it to. The Lord doesn't want harder things to happen to us, but He also knows how these harder things can help us become better human beings. (Music not included) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Good Times and Bad: Both Summer and Winter are Part of the Lord's Plan
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 03, 2020
Although for some of us winter this year was not terribly hard, we can still rejoice with the warming weather of spring. In the Lord's promise to Noah after the flood, there was a promise that "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night, shall not cease." Why is this variation part of the Lord's plan? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

What do you notice?
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 03, 2020
When we are in a good state, we notice certain things, and when in a bad state we notice others. Happiness comes from being able to notice what is good and useful even when things are not great -- not in a Pollyanna-ish way but seeing what is really there. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

To Love Mercy
Message of the Day. Part 2 of 3 in series "Does the Lord Require Perfection of You?" Inspired by Micah 6:8, this is Part 2 of this series. Today's topic is: To love mercy. A message about the importance of loving mercy, and how without goodness, love, faith and charity, one cannot truly forgive, and therefore have mercy on others. The Bible says that the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him (Psalm 103:17). And also we are asked to be merciful like our Father in heaven is merciful (Luke 6:36). From YouTube video: https://youtu.be/FS7fXjDG770 | By Rev. Jean Atta | Phoenix, AZ

The Tabernacle, Part 2 - A Model for Life in a Complex World
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 26, 2020
This Sunday we’re talking some more about the Tabernacle—the mobile worship centre that God told the Children of Israel to build. If you read about the Tabernacle you can quickly become overwhelmed by the complexity and detail. Why is it so complicated? Well, life is also pretty complicated and in this complicated explanation of the structure of the Tabernacle we can find a model of how the Lord can help us to deal with the complexity of life. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
