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, RSAState of the World

But it is not so easy to explain why natural disasters are allowed to occur. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallSurely The Lord is in This Place
