The Reason He Came, Part 2 - To Save the Lost
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 24, 2019
The Lord came to seek and save what was lost. The stories of the Word demonstrate the lost as those in good who have wandered from truth. The Lord came to restore truth to them rather than falsity, and save them as a result. A sign to us that we are in good and love, if we love truth. A lack of desire to pursue truth is an indication we are not in good. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAWrestling With Who We Are

In Genesis 32, right before Jacob was reunited with his brother Esau, Jacob appeared to wrestle with God, and was given a new name: “Israel.” What does this symbolize in our lives about the nature of who we are, and how we can change? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallPurifying Motives
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 24, 2019
Doing good things is relatively easy. But what about when you've done your good deed for the day only to be assaulted by the nagging feeling that maybe, just maybe, your motive for doing it was a selfish one? Changing our motives is hard be cause unlike actions, motives cannot be changed directly. We cannot just choose to be motivated by good will at the drop of a hat. Luckily, the Lord lays out a process that we can go through, and if we follow it, over time, our motives will become more and more pure. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Spiritual Seasons

Here we look at the story of Hagar in the wilderness (Genesis 16). We all get lost at times, sometimes painfully so. How does the Lord help us find our way? How does He help us find ourselves again?

| By Rev. Jared J. Buss | Toronto, ONLove Over Ego - Part 5 - The Writing is on the Wall
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 10, 2019
The phrase “the writing is on the wall” comes from the story that we’re going to be exploring on Sunday. During a wild and profane party, the new king of Babylon, Belshazzar, sees a hand write a mysterious message on the wall. And the meaning of the message, as explained by Daniel, is that Belshazzar has been evaluated, found to be deficient, and so will have the kingdom taken from him. In our process of working to have love triumph over our ego, we will have times when the writing is on the wall for some aspect of our lives. Are we willing to have that part of us die? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSADeborah and Jael
