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. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

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

Talk - May 06, 2020

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
