Why and How to Read the Bible
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 16, 2018
We all know that we should probably read the Bible more than we currently do. This Sunday will be a reminder of the value of spending time reading the Lord’s Word, including some thoughts about how much to read and what to do if you don't understand what you read. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAFearfully and Wonderfully Made
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 16, 2018
We are described as “wonderfully made” in Psalm 139 but then again, in Isaiah we are called a ‘wicked nation,’ ‘laden with iniquity,’ in which we find nothing sound from head to foot. (Isa. 1). How do we reconcile these descriptions? How do we hold the necessity of repentance in our own daily living? | By Rev. Brian D. Smith | Mitchellville, MDThe Wedding Supper Of The Lamb

Worship Service: Children & Adult - September 09, 2018
The origin of marriage is from the marriage of goodness and truth or love and wisdom. And marriage corresponds to the marriage of the Lord and the church. Marriage when seen from this source gives us a profound view of marriage. Especially, when we see that the Lord Jesus Christ brings these to us from Himself. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PABecoming an Angel

Worship Service: Informal Family - September 02, 2018
The Lord can make our morning worship service a deep and powerful experience that lifts us up, connects us and inspires us with life in a way that we cannot manufacture by ourselves. This connection derives its life from our efforts to love and serve others from the Lord’s own life and power. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallYoked Together, Part 1 - A High View of Marriage
Worship Service: Informal Family - September 02, 2018
Marriage is the experience of being yoked together with someone of the opposite sex. Into this Divine institution, all the spiritual and heavenly delights possible have been gathered. To experience these delights and joys we must go to the source of them, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our ability to receive and experience marriage, depends on our relationship with Him. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAOur Spiritual Journeys - Looking Forward
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 02, 2018
Last week Malcolm talked about what we can gain from looking back into our pasts. This week we will talk about going the other way, looking forward into our futures. The challenge with the future is the unknowns. It is easy to see how the Lord led us even in hard times when we look back. It is more of a challenge to look forward and trust that the Lord will continue to lead us. And this is as it should be: the Lord asks us to plan for an uncertain future, and work towards it, so that He can direct us down the right path. When we find the right balance of planning and trust we can face what is to come with confidence. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSALazarus In Heaven

Worship Service: Informal Family - August 26, 2018
This is a question many of us ask. We'll be looking at it as we explore the Creation story. What is good enough? What does the Lord think is good enough? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallNoah, The Remnant
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 26, 2018
The story of Noah teaches us about the state of humanity and how the Lord protects humanity. Humanity as a species has desires passed down that lead away from the Lord and Love; these are called hereditary evil. But the provides that there are people who will follow him, and in particular he provides times and experiences of goodness and truth that sustain us through our own floods. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 26, 2018
Last week Joel spoke about the importance and value of telling the stories of what the Lord has done for us on our spiritual Journeys. When we do look back on what happened in the past, however there are also dangers. Our memories of the past have a powerful effect on our present experience. When should we try to leave behind what has happened in the past and not dwell on it and when is there value in reflecting on the past? This Sunday we will try to understand how the Lord would like us to hold our memories of the past. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAThe Sign of the Covenant

Jesus, being hungry, came across a fig tree which had only leaves and no fruit. He “cursed” the tree and it withered away (Matt 21; Mark 11). His disciples were amazed, and asked Him how He did that. What does this strange miracle symbolize in our lives? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallGood News, Part 3 - The Second Coming
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 19, 2018
The Good News of the New Church is that Lord Jesus Christ is coming again. He came again in time through a new revelation. He comes again to us personally when we meet Him in His revelation. The Church is the mechanism of His Coming for each of us and for the world. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAMarried Love: The Fundamental Love
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 19, 2018
Regarded in its essence, married love is the fundamental love of all loves in heaven and the church, because it originates from the marriage between good and truth, and from this marriage spring all the loves which form heaven and the church in a person.
