Singing is one of the most powerful ways to express joy, and this is no more true than at Christmas. The teachings of the New Church tell us that going back thousands of years, the people in ancient times delighted in singing songs about the Lord's future coming and the salvation He would bring. Today we do the same as we not only look back to the Lord's birth but also forward to His birth into our own lives. After a short talk on the joy of singing to the Lord we will join together to celebrate the joy of the Lord's Coming and the Christmas season in general. | By Rev.

Do you often feel alone in trying to be a good person? You're trying to be descent, but there are all these voices and negative messages pushing us in the opposite direction. The Lord says that there's a lot more support of us than we think. Short Selection copyright protected by John & Lori Odhner. Used by permission. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Word Made Flesh
Worship Service: Informal Family - November 26, 2017
Sometimes human language can seem rather inadequate when it attempts to convey an idea. One of the things the Lord accomplished by being born into this world was to give us tangible examples of what it means to wisely love others. The Lord became the Word made flesh and dwelt among us to teach and lead us so that we might know Him and be led by Him towards better lives. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallHow Wealthy is Too Wealthy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 26, 2017
As Christians is it our duty to shun wealth? Jesus says that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. So should the wealthy among us be ashamed of their wealth? Should the poorer of us take pride in their poorness? Not exactly. The problem with money is the use to which we apply it. Money is heavenly when we see it as an opportunity to serve others and hellish when we see it as a way to love ourselves. All of us, rich and poor, need to take stock of the gifts we have been given in abundance and ask how we can use that abundance to make the world a better place. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThanksgiving

Worship Service: Sermon only - November 19, 2017
Here in Part 17 of our series following the book 'Heaven and Hell' we reflect on the Lord's message that "we are what we love." The type of dominant love that drives our affections in this world will always remain with us.
