Questioning the Lord's Authority
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 03, 2016
This message thinks about what some people who saw the Lord in the world were missing out on. They failed to see that His essence was Love itself. They therefore were not open to receiving the blessings He had on offer. If we are not careful we might find ourselves doing something similar today. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Stewardship
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 15, 2015
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down. shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."(Luke 6:38) Most of us would rather own than rent. The Lord says some important things about being temporary tenants, of being stewards of our possessions rather than owners, and the impact that has on our spiritual outlook. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 01, 2015
What does money mean to the Lord and about the Lord? Over the last two weeks we've talked about what money can mean to and about us as individuals, and what money can mean to and about other people.

Healing Hurting Relationships - Reconcilation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 25, 2015
Reconciliation is the final step in the process of healing hurting relationships; the burden of reconciliation rests on those who have wronged another. To step into this phase productively, we have to be able to own our faults and express regret. The ability to own our faults grows most productively out of our own reconciled relationship with the Lord and our sense of His love and forgiveness in our lives. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Money 1-What Does Money Mean to You and About You
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 18, 2015
We spend a lot of our time and energy on money. Earning it, saving it, budgeting it, arguing about how to spend it, worrying about having enough of it. It’s easy to get bogged down by it all. We need a higher perspective on money to help us figure out what to do. It’s not as simple as money is all bad or money is all good. Let’s see if we can learn from the Lord how to think about and handle money. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Healing Hurting Relationships - Forgiving Others
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 18, 2015
Forgiveness is a process that grows out of our relationship with the Lord and spiritual maturity. However, the work we have to do to forgive grows us. Forgiving actions or words calls on the best of us and helps us to begin real forgiveness. Especially if we do it prayerfully following the instructions of Scripture. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

The Joy of Making Others Happy
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 20, 2015
This message considers the words that Jacob spoke regarding his son Issachar (Gen. 49:14, 15). They are words that, when understood spiritually, show how we all have a hereditary tendency toward allowing external or worldly rewards to be the motivation for our hard work The Lord is trying to turn our hearts so that we are motivated to work hard and help others, not for reward, but because we have come to find joy in simply being of service to others and making others happy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Good News - Paradox
Worship Service: Informal Family - September 06, 2015
Spiritual life challenges us to face the opposition of higher and lower realities – our natural desires and our spiritual desires. We have a divided mind because we are a spirit in a body. Because of this division, there is also the truth of paradox – the reality of truths that seem contradictory but are both true. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Good News - Watch and Pray
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 30, 2015
The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us that there will be a loss of spiritual direction at the end of the Christian era. As culture loses its spiritual center, the Lord challenges us to stay awake spiritually—to hold fast to His teachings—and to pray. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Good News - A New Heart
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 16, 2015
The nature of heaven and hell are tied up together in three areas of life: marriage, possessions, positions of power. To allow heaven to enter into these areas we need to beg the Lord to open our eyes to the spiritual reality that underlies His teachings in these areas. We can then follow Him more joyfully. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Gideon Part 1 - Weakness and Strength – You Mighty Man of Valour
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 09, 2015
This week we begin a three-week series on the story of Gideon, one of the Judges of Israel. This week, we hear about his startling call: an angel appeared to him, called him a mighty man of valour, and told him he would rescue Israel from their enemies. The problem? Gideon was the youngest son in an unimportant family, and didn't feel much like a mighty man at all. And yet - God chose him to conquer the enemy. In our own lives: how does God transform our weakness into power? How can we see ourselves as mighty men and women of valour when we know from experience just how weak we are? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Good News - Seeing Clearly
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 09, 2015
The nature of spiritual sight is that we have a tendency to see what we want. The Lord teaches us many things that contradict our biased sight. If we desire to see reality, we have to keep coming back to the Lord. Following the Lord is a self correcting system that corrects in stages. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Good News - Be Opened
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 02, 2015
There are challenges and problems with being a part of a religious community. We can nullify the Word of the Lord by our tradition. We can make religion an external thing. We can be rude and arrogant to those not of our faith. We can be deaf to the Lord. But if we truly turn to the Lord, He can heal us of these faults. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

The Parable of the Talents
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 12, 2015
Our sermon this Sunday focuses on the parable of the talents. In English, a "talent" means a skill or ability, but in Biblical times it was a very valuable coin. The parable describes two "good and faithful" servants who use their master's coins well and make more for him, and a bad servant who buries the talent entrusted to him. Those "talents" symbolise more than just our natural skills and abilities - they represent a kind of spiritual treasure that we are called to use wisely. So, what does it mean to use our "talents" as good and faithful servants? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Good News - The Lord Can Heal You
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 04, 2015
The Lord performed many miracles of healing during His ministry. The reason He performed miracles of healing was to show us that He has the power to heal the soul. If we are really going to believe in the good news of spiritual healing, we have to believe that He can heal our soul and the soul of others. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
