That Your Joy May Be Full
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 08, 2017
The Lord desires us to have complete joy in our lives. We get this joy by remaining in the Lord, remaining in His Commandments, and by loving others. We experience heavenly joy when charity and faith exist in action. And we grow spiritually we develop more capacity for charity and faith, and therefore joy.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 01, 2017
As followers of the Lord we are the light of the world. Our light is from the Lord and His Word. When we truly love and live from Him and His teachings, we can let our light shine so others can see the Lord. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PARenewal

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 25, 2016
Love is a word that means so many things. It can refer to something that causes the most mundane pleasure or to something of the most profound motivation for goodness. We say God is love. Let's take some time together to explore what this common expression can mean for our relationship to the Lord. | By Rev. Louis D. Synnestvedt | Westville, RSAChristmas - Gifts to the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 18, 2016
The gift that is most precious to the Lord is gratitude for the gifts He gives us. When we offer to Him spiritual gold, frankincense, and myrrh, we acknowledge Him as the source of all good and truth in our life in the head, the heart, and in the world around us. That acknowledgement is worship. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAGod Misunderstood
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 04, 2016
Humanity has long misunderstood the essential nature of the Lord God our Creator. As we picture the tiny infant Lord in the Christmas story, it is so important to understand that the Holy Child was the Son of God, and indeed was God from God. Our understanding of all that follows in the New Testament hinges on this, as does our understanding of our own salvation. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThe LORD Himself Will Give You A Sign

Are we open to hearing the still small voice of the Lord as He speaks to us? His voice is reaching out to us no matter our life circumstances.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 06, 2016
This week we turn to the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. The Lord tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like being a wise maiden who brings extra oil with her so that if her lamp runs out, she will be ready. Oil represents love, but what does it mean to bring extra love, just in case? You can't have "extra love;" it isn’t a commodity, like oil. The Lord tells us that the key to having love is to also have faith. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Sarver, PAFear Of Giants

If you set your heart on the Lord’s dwelling with you, from now on the Lord can bless you. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PASearching
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 02, 2016
We are called by the Lord to be “merchants” in search of pearls. Pearls represent truths from the Lord’s Word, and the pearl of great price stands for knowledge about the Lord Himself. The Lord plants within us a longing called in the Writings for the New Church “the affection for truth.” The more we search in the Word, or talk with others in an effort to discover the great truths about life, the more the Lord will be able to bless us with wisdom. We will come to discover in growing ways what leads to lasting happiness, and feel called to turn to the Lord as the one who can lead us to experience it. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Sarver, PASpiritual Restoration, Part 3 - Greater Glory

The Lord knows that we can become discouraged as we work to restore our lives. The Lord reminds us that He is with us and promises us greater glory through that restoration. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PASpiritual Restoration, Part 2 - Hear the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 25, 2016
Spiritual restoration can progress when you hear and fear the Lord; then He will be with you. When you hear and fear the Lord, He will be with you, and He will stir your spirit to build His place in your life. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAWhat Should I Pray For?
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 11, 2016
This message reflects on the Lord's promise that: "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." We consider what it means to "Ask in His name", and from this think about what our prayers should be asking for. We remember that ultimately prayer is simply conversation with the Lord. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZLord, Teach Us To Pray
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 04, 2016
This message considers the true power of prayer. Prayer is conversation with God. He wants to provide us with the peace and inspiration that comes when we are united to Him. But, that union cannot be formed unless we are communicating with Him. That communication is prayer. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThe LORD'S Instruction As A Child

Worship Service: Informal Family - September 04, 2016
Spiritual restoration begins with an humble examination of the focus of your life. There are things that lead us away from the Lord and these cause an emptiness in our life. Recognizing that we are neglecting the most important things is the beginning of restoration. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAMarriage Is Not About You, Part 4 - Looking Upward
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 28, 2016
Marriage is not about us, marriage is about looking upward toward the Lord and honoring Him in our marriages. The Lord is the source of marriage, and our love is as great as our willingness to follow Him. But because of who the Lord is if we look to Him, the Lord will give us joy and happiness beyond description. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
