Mothering Moses
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 12, 2024
Several women played mothering roles in the life of Moses: his own mother, his sister, Pharaoh’s daughter. We will celebrate the mother figures in our own lives, and we will reflect on the church as spiritual mother, nurturing us and encouraging us to nurture one another. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

The Battles We Never Fight
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 05, 2024
Have you ever seen a person who struggles with some particular evil and thought to yourself, “I’m so glad that I’ve never had to deal with that”? It helps to put our own struggles into perspective when we can see how much harder other people have it. We could put much of this up to chance: we happened to be born into a certain family, at a certain time in history, in a particular location. But on closer inspection, none of this is random chance: all of us, like it or not, incline towards the same struggles and challenges as anyone else. It is only through the Lord’s almighty power that we can be held back from falling headlong into unimaginable evils. Today we will explore the ways that the Lord fights battles on our behalf that we will never be aware of, and how much we have to be grateful for. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Giving and Receiving, Part 2, How to Be Helped
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 28, 2024
Everyone needs help; none of us can get through life on our own. And yet when help is available there are many times when we don’t take advantage of it. Why is that? Why especially do we not take advantage of the help that the Lord offers? We’ll explore what gets in the way and how to have a better attitude towards the help that we are given by other people. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Guardians of Holiness
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 28, 2024
One of the most brilliant devices that the Lord has built into creation is His way of protecting us from His overwhelming power, leaving us in freedom to think and do what we want. The heavenly watchdogs that appear in both the Old and the New Testaments show how He does this. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

“Spiritual Buying and Selling”
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 21, 2024
“Spiritual Buying and Selling” (Matthew 13:45) The Word sometimes compares the spiritual process of regeneration to the process of buying and selling. Often the “selling” part seems difficult, as when the Lord tells the rich young man to sell all that he has. But the selling does not always have to be sorrowful. How can we sell gladly? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Giving and Receiving - Part 1 - How to Give Help
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 21, 2024
When someone you care about is in need, you give them help. That is a good thing, obviously! But what if they don’t want our help? Or if they need a different kind of help? Or if they reject our help? Our immediate response can be hurt; after all, we are trying to help them! But if we are going to truly help people, we need to learn to make it less about us and how we are received, and more about what the person actually needs. Giving help is about the receiver, it is not about the giver. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Pearl of Great Price
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 21, 2024

"Build houses, plant gardens..."
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 14, 2024
(Jeremiah 29:3) Gardens feature prominently in the Scriptures, beginning with the Garden of Eden in Genesis and ending in Revelation with the garden appearing again, this time in the midst of the Holy City New Jerusalem. It’s significant too that the Lord chose to rise from the tomb in the midst of a garden. All of the physical delights of a garden - the sights, sounds, textures, smells, tastes – represent what happens when we invite the order and symmetry of the truths of the Lord’s Word into our lives. In this service we will explore the profound spiritual principle that our choices determine our spiritual environment. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Two Great Prophets
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 14, 2024
Elijah and Elisha were two prophets who followed in quick succession. Elijah, who came first, was poorly received and lived a troubled existence. Elisha, who succeeded him, was better received and accepted by the leaders of his day. These two prophets represent two stages in our relationship with the Lord. At first we must struggle and fight to apply His truths. But as we grow and progress it becomes easier and easier, until we live His truth with hardly a second thought. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Sr. | Westville, RSA

The Lord's Orders
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 07, 2024
"Children, have you any food." (John 21.5) After the Lord's resurrection, He sent the eleven disciples out to preach the gospel to all nations. Soon after He again appeared to them as they were fishing and asked "Children, have you any food?" and they replied no, for they had not caught any fish. Why were the disciples fishing when the Lord clearly gave them a command to go and preach the gospel? The disciples learned one more valuable lesson after the Lord’s resurrection. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Receiving Food from the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 07, 2024
"Truths cannot be implanted except by means of affections which well forth as from charity and love." (AC 4018.3) When the Lord sent His disciples out to preach the gospel, they already had practically all the knowledge needed for this important work. The Lord wanted His good news to spread to every nation, but He also hoped for the salvation of these very disciples. This Sunday we will see through the story of the Lord appearing to the disciples after His resurrection how it is only in doing the work of love that faith can save. | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Embracing Weakness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 07, 2024
If someone called you weak, you would take it as an insult. But what about when the Lord calls you weak? Because He most certainly does: compared to Him, we are utterly powerless. And yet far from being insulted, if we embrace our own weakness, we can let down the burdens of perfection and self-reliance, and receive from the Lord a greater power than we could ever muster on our own. We may be utterly helpless, but the greatest force in the universe is on our side. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
