Fleeing for Safety
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 Hall20/20 Vision

And Balaam said to Balak, "Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak." (Numbers 22:38) | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Cathedral"Teach Us to Number Our Days..."

It's a new decade (or not, depending on how you think about it) and it's a time when a lot of people are thinking about time and all that's happened in the past decade or two. People are also looking to the future and wondering what will happen in the 2020's. With these thoughts on our minds it seemed like it be useful, this Sunday evening, to reflect on Psalm 90 where it says, "teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAPreparing Your Mind for The Lord

A different baby was born in Bethlehem, hundreds of years before Jesus was born there. The mother of that baby died in childbirth and soo named her son "son of my sorrow" before she died. Later the father renamed that baby, "son of the right hand" or "son of strength". This story offers an opportunity to reflect on our sorrows and the strength that the Lord has given us through our sorrows and also gives us another way of understanding why the Lord was born in Bethlehem. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAPrince of Peace

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 22, 2019
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, RSAThe Baby Lord
