The Origins of Thanksgiving
Doctrinal Class - November 20, 2019
All three of the commanded feasts had to do with a form of giving thanks. The first feast was the "feast of Unleavened Bread". The second feast was the "Feast of Weeks" which occurred when the first fruits of wheat were ready to harvest. And the third feast was the "Feast of Ingathering' at the years end. (See AC 9285) Not all discussion is included. | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Social Hall

Invitation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 17, 2019
As a church we are focusing on invitation for the next couple of months. As we work on invitation I want our thinking and our actions to be informed by what the Lord teaches about it. And when you look for it, you can find teachings and stories about invitation and even direct invitations from the Lord throughout the His Word. Let’s learn from the Lord about how to invite. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Evil stemming from self-love sets a person apart not only from the Lord but also from heaven, for he loves no one but himself and others only insofar as he sees them as part of his self-interest, or as they identify themselves with him. (AC 4997:2) | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Uplifted
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 17, 2019
I've been especially interested these days in the idea that there are things we find “uplifting.” We'll all have different ideas about what they are, but maybe we'd all agree with the words of King David in the last verse of the 28th Psalm, where he prays that the Lord “lift His people up forever.” It might also be worth considering what David says earlier in that psalm, where he talks about “going down into the pit,” kind of the opposite of being uplifted. But the Lord can't lift us up without cooperation on our part. We might even try, as if on our own, to lift ourselves up. The story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5 is a good illustration of that. In the Levitical blessing (at the end of Numbers 6), we ask the Lord to “lift up His countenance” upon us. What might that actually be like? | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Unintended Consequences
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 10, 2019
Intentions matter more than actions. In other words, someone who is good hearted but makes mistakes is better off than someone who is malicious even while doing the right thing. Yet even the most well-intentioned person can cause harm. Their good intentions do not negate the damage they can cause in ignorance. Rather than justifying ourselves or others by saying, “they meant well,” we must find ways of addressing the harm and correcting it, even as we support and acknowledge the good intentions lying behind it. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Becoming an Angel
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 10, 2019
A rich young person came to Jesus and asked “what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17). What do we need to do to become angels? And how hard or easy is it? As we finish up our Angels series, we will look at what the Lord teaches us about the qualities and activities that help us become angels. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

How Angels Are with Us
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 03, 2019
On a journey far from home, Jacob went to sleep all by himself. He had a dream that showed him a ladder or stairs extending from him up to the Lord with angels coming down and going up on it. He realized he was not alone. If we understand how the Lord is also present with us with angels it can support hope, peace and the strength to do what we need to do. | By Rev. Eric H.

Labouring from the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 03, 2019
Why do we work on our spiritual lives? Why do we work to be more kind, more thoughtful, more generous? Is it for ourselves, other people, or the Lord? This week we will be looking at how our motivations effect our happiness, moving us toward jealousy and anger or toward joy and contentedness. How do we get from being reward focused to truly labouring from the Lord? | By Rev. Richard M. Glenn | Westville, RSA
