Worship Service: Informal Family - October 28, 2018
Can we avoid letting anxiety and worry diminish our feelings of contentment, peace and satisfaction? Can material things reduce our quality of life as well as increase it? We continue our Journey series about the book of Daniel and Love Over Ego with the story of the next king of Babylon (Daniel chapter 5). Belshazzar has a great feast using the gold and silver vessels stolen from the temple in Jerusalem. A hand appears writing a mysterious warning. It seems that Belshazzar cares only about power and wealth. Daniel has no desire for the rewards of power and wealth that the king offers. He trusts the Lord for all his needs. We too can choose “Contentment over Materialism” like Daniel, who did not covet the rewards and riches that Belshazzar so highly valued. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallJoshua, Part 3 - Spiritual Combat
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 28, 2018
The Lord leads us into spiritual combat, the conflict between truth and falsity, between lusts and love. The key to victory is marching according to the 10 Commandments. If we encircle false thinking and lustful behavior with the Ten Commandments, the Lord fights for us. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAWhat Do You Value?

King Belshazzar and his one thousand guests drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and Iron, wood and stone. In the same hour the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote opposite the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. (Daniel 5:4-5) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralHeaven is Not for Sale
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 28, 2018
You can’t buy your way into heaven, no matter how much wealth you amass. That won’t come as a surprise to most of you. Yet somehow, subconsciously, we end up trying. Every time we feel entitled to reward because of our good deeds, we have diminished good deeds to a mere currency with which we can buy a slice of heaven. Every time we feel slighted for the ill fortune that befalls us in spite of our goodness, we have reduced God’s living Providence into a mere balance sheet of good countered by evil. It is only when we realize that goodness is its own reward that we can be free from the allure of heaven as a reward. Heaven is not a reward; heaven is the natural result of a life of goodness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Bitter Waters of Marah

In week four of “Love over Ego,” we look at Daniel chapter four, in which Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a tall tree that was chopped down to a stump. Our ego sometimes thinks too highly of ourselves, but our ego can also feel the shame of being ‘cut down to size.’ How can we instead find true humility, which opens us back up to the Lord’s love and joy? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallBeing Humble Without Being a Doormat

Nebuchadnezzar was a great and powerful king, but he put too much importance in his own importance, and suffered the consequences in a very public way. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralRepenting from Coveting
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 21, 2018
What does it mean to covet? Do you know how to recognise when you’re coveting? More importantly, do you know how to repent from coveting? The teachings of the New Church say that the two commandments about coveting cover some pretty important things for us to work on. We can learn to notice when we’re coveting and, with the Lord’s help, we can repent from coveting. Come find out how. The video mentioned in the recording is "How Not Coveting Could Change the World" by offthelefteye on YouTube. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAChildren of God

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 14, 2018
The Ten Commandments forbid saying things that are not true; or do they? The 8th commandment is often summarized as "you shall not lie," but it actually reads, "you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour." This wording is significant. It implies something broader then just telling facts or lies. Even the "truth" can be used to bear false witness against someone. We are called to heed our thoughts and our words, making sure that they are not only factually correct, but that they bear witness to the true goodness of character of the people around us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAAcceptance, Judgment, Mercy and Stereotypes in the Word

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O King. But if not, let it be known to you, O King, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the golden image which you have set up."

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 14, 2018
All of us like to get our way, and at times that desire can take on alarming proportions in our lives, and can seem to swamp our desire to do what is right. We'll look at how Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego dealt with this problem and how it applies to what to do when our ego rises up. The song "The Fiery Furnace" is included with permission of the author, Lori Odhner, and the Choristers singing, led by Robin Bier. | By Rev. Erik J.
