Genesis chapter 25 describes the birth and early life of the twins, Jacob and Esau. These siblings don’t always get along very well. What do these two characters and their relationship represent in our own lives? NOTE: There is a buzzing throughout this recording. | By Rev. Solomon J.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 12, 2019
This Sunday we’re beginning a sermon series on children with the story in which Jesus says, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them….” The context of this statement is that people were trying to bring their children to the Lord but the disciples were telling them to go away. We might think, why would the disciples try to send the children away from the Lord? But there are actually plenty of times when we might be inclined to do the same exact thing. Let’s take a look. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAQualities that Nurture Us

Worship Service: Sermon only - May 12, 2019
Then one said to Jesus, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You." But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" and He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, Here are My mother and My brothers!" (Matthew 12:50) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Hidden Power of the Word
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 05, 2019
The Word isn’t just a confusing blend of worldly stories, laws and ‘begats’ that reflect an ancient people and their past. The Word is an external framework that supports inner, spiritual truths that explain who God is and His inner workings with the universe. Its truths offer great power for protection and healing. We can use this power to see how the Lord constantly works behind the scenes to support us and our spiritual health. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallChanging Our Spiritual Landscape
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 05, 2019
You can tell a lot about someone by the things and people they surround themselves with. On the one hand, this is because where we choose to put time and effort is a reflection of what we value. On the other hand, it is also because we are shaped by our environments: we become like what we are surrounded by. This statement is true spiritually. If we surround ourselves with heavenly influences, we will become heavenly. If we surround ourselves with hellish influences, we will become hellish. Where and how we spend our time is not just a matter of personal preference. It is a matter of choosing who we will become. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAAre You A Fish?

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 05, 2019
Aiming for Heaven. How much fun is it to aim for ideals in a cynical time? Drawing on the Jacob story we will explore the tension of working practically at a lower level while still holding the highest goals of heaven in our sight. References include Genesis 29:15-30 & AC 3854. ~ BDS | By Rev. Brian D. Smith | Mitchellville, MDGod Has Made Laughter for Me

Three weeks ago we looked at Peter's Doubt before Easter, and this week we look at Thomas' Doubt after Easter (John 20:19-29). Thomas had a hard time believing that the Lord had risen, because he didn't get to see or touch the Lord. Can we believe in things we can’t see? Should we believe in things we can't see? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallThe Movement of Easter, Part 2: Baptise and Teach
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 28, 2019
Last week we read about the Lord commanding His disciples to go forth and make disciples of all nations and we talked about what He is asking of us in that command. The Lord didn’t just give them that general command; He also told them specifically to baptise people into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to teach them to keep all the things that He had commanded them. Are we all meant to baptise people? Why did the Lord talk about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Are we all meant to teach other people what the Lord commanded? If we want to take this command of the Lord’s seriously, then we need to really think this through. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAThe Lord Appearing to Us
