Samuel, Part 1: Hearing the Lord's Call
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 21, 2019
This Sunday we’re starting a series on the story of Samuel. As an adult, Samuel becomes a pivotal figure in the history of the Children of Israel but his story begins in his childhood. The Lord calls out to him and at first he doesn’t know that it’s the Lord. We too can struggle to distinguish the Lord’s call in our lives from a lot of other inputs. With Samuel we can learn what it takes to recognise the Lord’s call and what sort of messages the Lord has for us. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAHow to Read the Word

“Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” – Psalm 119:34-35 | By Rev. Michael D. Gladish | Mitchellville, MDFinding Joy in Life's Challenges

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 14, 2019
“Everything in moderation” seems like a sound rule for life. After all, anything, even something good, can become harmful when taken to an extreme. Yet this common-sense truth finds surprisingly little support in the Lord’s Word. As just one example, Jesus says, “no one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). There is no moderation or balancer here: rather pick a side and wholeheartedly follow it! This Sunday we will look at how a blind devotion to moderation can be harmful and why thinking in terms of prioritisation is a more heavenly outlook. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAReasons to Hide Your Thoughts

In the story of the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had a choice of fruits from two trees. We explore how, instead of telling about "original sin," this is representative of each person's free will, and the choices we each make in our spiritual life. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallWe Need Times of Rest

This Sunday we will be looking at the spiritual significance of the year of Jubilee. This was a law that the Children of Israel had that, every fifty years, they had to let the ground lie fallow and not plant seeds or harvest. Also, any land that had been sold during those fifty years had to then revert to the original owner. What is the spiritual significance of all of this for our lives and our need for fallow times? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAMaking Change that Lasts

The church is meant to be the heart and lungs for all good people in the world. The heart and lungs do not exist for themselves, but for the sake of the whole body, and for the sake of that body’s activities. Commit to helping the two functions of our church work together, not for our sake, but for the sake of the whole human race. - GMF | By Rev. Glenn (Mac) Frazier | Mitchellville, MDThe Good Shepherd

After the children of Israel safely crossed through the Red Sea, they sang and danced for joy (Exodus 15). Why is it that singing and dancing are some of the ways that we sometimes express joy?
