Halfway There
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 24, 2019
When Saul was commanded to destroy all the Amalekites and all their possessions, he only half obeyed: he destroyed all the worthless possessions, but kept the precious things, and spared the king. Yet he still claimed that he had obeyed the Lord. How often do we only follow the Lord halfway, but claim that we have done everything He asks? And how do we come to a place of wholeheartedly separating ourselves even from the evils that we really love and are attached to? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSASacrifices to the Lord

All three of the commanded feasts had to do with a form of giving thanks. The first feast was the "feast of Unleavened Bread". The second feast was the "Feast of Weeks" which occurred when the first fruits of wheat were ready to harvest. And the third feast was the "Feast of Ingathering' at the years end. (See AC 9285) Not all discussion is included. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Social HallInvitation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 17, 2019
As a church we are focusing on invitation for the next couple of months. As we work on invitation I want our thinking and our actions to be informed by what the Lord teaches about it. And when you look for it, you can find teachings and stories about invitation and even direct invitations from the Lord throughout the His Word. Let’s learn from the Lord about how to invite. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSACommunity

Evil stemming from self-love sets a person apart not only from the Lord but also from heaven, for he loves no one but himself and others only insofar as he sees them as part of his self-interest, or as they identify themselves with him. (AC 4997:2) | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralUplifted
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 17, 2019
I've been especially interested these days in the idea that there are things we find “uplifting.” We'll all have different ideas about what they are, but maybe we'd all agree with the words of King David in the last verse of the 28th Psalm, where he prays that the Lord “lift His people up forever.” It might also be worth considering what David says earlier in that psalm, where he talks about “going down into the pit,” kind of the opposite of being uplifted. But the Lord can't lift us up without cooperation on our part. We might even try, as if on our own, to lift ourselves up. The story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5 is a good illustration of that. In the Levitical blessing (at the end of Numbers 6), we ask the Lord to “lift up His countenance” upon us. What might that actually be like? | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallSaving Us from the Serpent

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 10, 2019
Intentions matter more than actions. In other words, someone who is good hearted but makes mistakes is better off than someone who is malicious even while doing the right thing. Yet even the most well-intentioned person can cause harm. Their good intentions do not negate the damage they can cause in ignorance. Rather than justifying ourselves or others by saying, “they meant well,” we must find ways of addressing the harm and correcting it, even as we support and acknowledge the good intentions lying behind it. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSABecoming an Angel

A rich young person came to Jesus and asked “what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17). What do we need to do to become angels? And how hard or easy is it? As we finish up our Angels series, we will look at what the Lord teaches us about the qualities and activities that help us become angels. | By Rev. Solomon J.

Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3-4) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
