Knowing What to do with Conflicting Advice
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 17, 2020
Whether someone is young or older we all face a world in which people will tell us things that disagree with each other. Perhaps friends suggest doing something parents disapprove of. Perhaps adults disagree. How are we to make decisions about what is the best decision to make? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Making Decisions When Ideas are in Conflict
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 17, 2020
In so many areas of life in which we have decisions to make, both momentous and minor, it is easy to find directly contradictory advice and information about the issue and what we should do.

Misconceptions of Providence - 2 - Coincidence? I think not!
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 17, 2020
This week we continue our series on misconceptions about Divine Providence. There are moments when something so unlikely and unexpected, and yet so wonderful, occurs, that we cannot help but see it as the hand of God at work in the world. But if God intervenes so forcefully in the world sometimes, it serves to highlight the many times when He does not (apparently) intervene. Why is one person miraculously spared from cancer, while thousands of others are condemned to die? The truth is that God’s Providence is not just at work in the unlikely and the obvious ways we see. His Providence extends to each and every moment of our lives, even down to the most mundane. He is never absent. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Who Do People Say That I Am?
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 17, 2020
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, ‘Whom do people say that I the Son of man am?’” (Matt 16:13) The Gospel makes a point of telling us where Jesus was when He made these comments. Why would this be important to Him, to the disciples and to us?" | By Rev. Dr Andrew M. Dibb | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

How to Dispel Negative Impulses
Message of the Day. How do you deal with negative impulses, urges, and thoughts? Try this tool to help your better self overcome selfish or greedy desires and dishonest thoughts. Today's Readings: Matthew 15:11 "It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” Secrets of Heaven 6206:1 All evil flows in from hell and all good from the Lord by way of heaven. The reason however why evil becomes a person's own is that they believe and convince themselves that they think and practice it all by themselves. In this way they make it their own. But if they believed what is really so, it would not be evil but good from the Lord that became their own. For if they believed what is really so they would think, the instant evil flowed in, that it came from the evil spirits present with them; and since that was what they thought the angels could ward that evil off and repel it. For influx from angels takes place into what a person knows and believes, not what they do not know or believe; there is nowhere else for it to become firmly established than in something the person knows or believes. | By Rev. Glenn (Mac) Frazier | Mitchellville, MD

Seeing as the Lord Sees Us
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 10, 2020
When we look at our motives and actions we can be very critical and be filled with shame. The Lord sees our spiritual progress very differently, which explains why we can see such negative things, yet still be on a good path. "When the Lord is with anyone, He leads him, and provides that all things which happen, whether sad or joyful, befall him for good: this is the Divine providence." Arcana Caelestia 6303 | By Rev.

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. Blair | Bryn Athyn, PA

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
