Worship Service: Sermon only - December 20, 2015
Joseph was a remarkable man. When he found out that Mary was pregnant, he decided to put her away privately. There was no question that she had been unfaithful in his mind. When he found out who the child was, he took Mary as his wife, stating to the world that the child was his, and he raised the Lord. He became the Lord's protector, leaving Judea for Egypt in the middle of the night. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralJoseph's Courage

The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralBalaam's Blessing
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 06, 2015
This is a Christmas-season message that considers the story of Balaam's blessing of the Children of Israel. It is a story of hypocrisy and of contrasts. Balaam was forced to bless even though he wanted to curse. While he was trying to oppose the Lord's will, below in the valley was the encampment of the Children of Israel. This camp was an illustration of the Lord's kingdom among those for whom His will has also become their will. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZChristmas - The Messier Side of Christmas
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 06, 2015
The Lord came to fight for us, to free us from bad ways of thinking and feeling. To accept His freedom, we have to stand against those thoughts and feelings that feel like part of and pierce our own soul. When we fight and die to our old self, the Lord can bring us into peace and good will. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThe Angel Comes to Zacharias

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 29, 2015
Christmastime can be a busy and stressful time of the year – gifts to buy, deadlines to meet, guests to welcome. But the heart of the Christmas story is something quite possible, “peace on earth.” The peace of Christmas is intimately tied to something else: the innocence of a Baby laid in a manger. How can we experience some of that innocence and peace amidst the turmoil of daily life? Come and listen! | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAUses Of Prophecy

Worship Service: Sermon only - December 28, 2014
We are told that when the Lord was in the world He never chose evil but we also are told that He matured, He "increased in wisdom". How does His remaining behind in Jerusalem at age 12 and worrying His parents reflect an aspect of this increasing wisdom? How does this help us to see similar opportunities for growing wisdom in us? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralSeeing the Salvation of the Lord's Coming
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 25, 2014

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 24, 2014
The Lord came on earth to save us - to be our Savior. Yet much of the Christmas story involves things that people do to keep the Lord safe so He could grow and prosper.

From eternity to eternity, God is unchanging. And yet, at a specific point in time, God broke into creation in a radical new way. The God of the universe took on a body of flesh and was born into the world. But what does that mean for us here and now? To put it another way: why does Christmas matter? | By Rev. Coleman S.
