The Purpose of Family
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 07, 2015
The purpose of the New Testament is to know that Jesus is Christ and the Son of God, and so we can live a life in His Name. The purpose of family is to raise children for heaven. Marriage was designed with all its potential to support that highest use. And marriage needs its own care, support, and guidance. The Lord ensures all people love their children, but only the spiritual can truly love their spouse. The Lord offers guidance to support the goal of a truly united marriage. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

The Lord's Coming Part 1
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 07, 2015
What is the Second Coming of the Lord? When the Lord was in the world, He promised that He would come again. In the New Church, we believe that this Second Coming has already happened, is happening now, and will continue to happen in the future. What does that mean? Over the next few weeks, we'll be talking about three aspects of the Lord's coming: His Second Coming, the Last Judgement, and the New Church. This week, we're talking about the coming of the Lord itself. What is the Second Coming of the Lord? And what difference does it make to my life here and now? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Being Open to New Ideas
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 25, 2015
To be open to new ideas we have to recognize the things that are closing us down. The Lord identifies three of them: our competing thought life, a shallow commitment to the ideas, and competing desires. If we turn to the Lord He will help us be open to new ideas. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

The Word made Flesh
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 21, 2014
From eternity to eternity, God is unchanging. And yet, at a specific point in time, God broke into creation in a radical new way. The God of the universe took on a body of flesh and was born into the world. But what does that mean for us here and now? To put it another way: why does Christmas matter? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Understanding John 3:16
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 14, 2014
John 3:16 is a key text for a lot of Christians in understanding why Jesus was born in the world. It says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only-begotten Son, that everyone who believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” But how do we understand what is meant by this? Who is God? Who is His Only-begotten Son? What does it mean to believe in Him? Why will people who don’t believe in Him perish and not have eternal life? If we can find good answers to these questions we will have a much better understanding of the significance of Christmas. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 19, 2014
After all the threats of destruction throughout the book of Amos, the prophecy ends on a hopeful note: the promise of a return to a fruitful land. Is this promise being made to us? And if so, what was the purpose of all the threats of destruction that came before? We’re wrapping up our series on the book of Amos and continuing to grapple with the question of how we can hear the Lord speaking to us today through the ancient, sometimes obscure prophecies recorded in the Bible. | By Rev.

What's New about the New Church? Part 3 - What Makes the Bible Holy
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 12, 2014
The Word is holy in every detail because there is a deeper meaning that has to do with what is happening in our own minds and hearts and a deeper meaning that has to do with what the Lord Jesus Christ and what he went through on earth. When we read the Bible, even if we do not know what that meaning is, we are conjoined with the Lord and connected with the Angels of heaven. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Amos- The Word of a Prophet 3 - A Thirst For the Word of the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 12, 2014
In the New Church we tend to focus on the deeper, spiritual meaning of the Bible. But does that mean we can ignore the commandments in the literal sense to care for the poor and feed the hungry? How do we experience the connection between those external things and the deeper meaning within them? We’re continuing our series on the book of Amos and continuing to grapple with the question of how we can hear the Lord speaking to us today through the ancient, sometimes obscure prophecies recorded in the Bible. | By Rev.
