Jesus' Dodgy Family History
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 01, 2013
This Sunday we're going to be looking at the genealogy - the long list of names - at the beginning of the gospel of Matthew. Before you decide that you've definitely got something more important to do on Sunday evening, let me explain why I chose this. I've wanted to preach about the genealogy for some time precisely because it seems boring at first. Why is it there? Why does the whole New Testament start this way? What I found is that, if you look at the list of names more closely, you see that there are actually some quite juicy details contained in it and some important information about what family Jesus was born into. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Understanding Our God, Part 3 - The Holy Spirit
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 09, 2012
Is God doing things in your life? (Maybe you can figure out that the answer I'm looking for is yes. But I've got a harder question for you.) Which things that happen in your life are God's work and which things aren't? How do you tell the difference? This Sunday is the last one in the Understanding Our God series. We're going to be talking about the Holy Spirit, which, in the New Church, we understand to mean God's activity. And we're not going to be leaving things in the comfortable realm of God doing stuff generally for people; I want to really wrestle with how to see His presence in the details of each of our lives. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Understanding Our God, Part 2 - Father & Son
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 02, 2012
This Sunday is part 2 of a series on the Trinity. Last week we focused on the importance of believing that there is only one God. This week we're going to move on to the questions that inevitably come up. What about when Jesus prays to His Father? Why did Jesus talk about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit if there's only one God? The Trinity stuff can seem pretty confusing but when we understand it properly, a lot of other pieces also fit into place. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Understanding Our God, Part 1 - Jesus Christ is the One God
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 26, 2012
I'm going to be talking about the Trinity this Sunday. For a long time it felt to me like a confusing, abstract and mostly irrelevant topic. But understanding the Trinity is an important part of understanding who our God is. And, in any relationship, it makes a big difference to understand the other person better. And so my hope is that you'll end up feeling glad that you put the effort into understanding this challenging topic because you feel less confused and more connected to your God. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

A Church is not a Church by virtue of its externals, that is, of its religious observances, but by virtue of its internals; for these are the essential realities, the externals merely forms expressing those realities. Arcana Coelestia 4831 | By Rev. James H. Barry | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
