Here in Part 3 of our series reflecting on the Lord's Prayer, we think about how asking for our daily bread is much more than asking for the things that sustain our bodies. It is asking for the things that sustain our soul, both today and for eternity. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZOffering Genuine Love
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 06, 2018
When we do good for others, we can check our intentions first. Love is not genuine unless we first remove evil (True Christianity 435). “First be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:24). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallHappiness

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation." (Psalm 51:12) | By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Bryn Athyn CathedralFinding Jesus in the Life of Joshua - Part 1 - The Early Years
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 06, 2018
People have been drawing parallels between the stories of Joshua and Jesus for a long time (which makes sense considering that Jesus is the Greek version of the name Joshua). But the teachings of the New Church indicate that the connections between the stories go much deeper than a shared name and some intriguing similarities. Every detail of the story can be read as a way for us to get a deeper understanding of the Lord's experience while He was on earth. This Sunday we will explore the early stories of Joshua, before he became the leader of the Children of Israel, and what those stories can show us about the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSADoing and Holding Still

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 29, 2018
How do physical things relate to spiritual things? What is the connection between our body and our spirit? How do we make sense of the confusing imagery in the Bible, a book that is supposed to be about spiritual things? New Church teachings explain these things using a fascinating concept called correspondence. This Sunday we will explore this concept and how it can change how we look at everything in the Bible and the world around us. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSARebuilding the Temple
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 29, 2018
Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this house lie waste? And now thus says Jehovah of Armies, Set your heart on your ways. You have sown multiple times, but bring in little; you eat, but none are satisfied; you drink, but none are filled; you clothe yourselves, but none are warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages put in a bag with holes." Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways. Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified," says the Lord. (Haggai 1:3-8) | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralLetting Go and Getting More

Worship Service: Informal Family - April 22, 2018

We'll explore different kinds of laughter and how we can learn to find joy in line with what the Lord wants of us. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallFrom Heaven? Or from man?
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 22, 2018
The question we must answer is Scripture from heaven or from man. If Scripture is from heaven we have a different obligation to believe it. The academic evidence can sometimes be used to indicate a belief in Scripture from man, but the evidence affirms our belief in Scripture and our Lord Jesus Christ. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAFreedom from Anxiety
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 22, 2018
Fear and anxiety are inevitable in life. Nor is that a bad thing. Fear of failure motivates us to succeed, anxiety brings our attention to problems that we need to overcome. But when we are crippled by these things, and our choices are limited by our fears, we cannot grow the way we would want. The Lord tells us what we can do then: seek first the kingdom of God. If we manage to get our priorities right, then our anxieties, although still present, will be longer control us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSASpiritual Superpowers (service)
