Ten Commandments, Part 4 - Honor Your Father And Mother
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 22, 2017
The Lord commands us to honor our father and mother. The reason for this is the family is the basis of community—economic, political, and religious. From a religious perspective the care of children has been delegated specifically to the family, not to the church. The application of this begins with honoring our parents. Task: Write a tribute to your parents and either frame it and give it to them or give it to other family members. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAGet More Out of Reading the Bible: Part 3: New Testament
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 22, 2017
The New Testament is the last section of the Bible that we haven't talked about yet in our series about getting more out of the Bible. On Sunday we'll talk about things like how the New Testament differs from the Old Testament, whether all the books in the New Testament are equally authoritative, why there are four Gospels, etc. It will be fun and I hope it will help you to get more out of reading the New Testament. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 22, 2017
There are many places in the Scriptures where the Lord compares the process of spiritual growth to the growing of a seed. This week's inspiration looks at three things that may be preventing this seed from growing. Why does my faith, my love for the Lord and my spiritual life in general seem to be wilting away? | By Rev. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MAShame and Blame

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 15, 2017
Here in Part 13 of our study of the book 'Heaven and Hell' we think about, when we leave this life and enter the next, how men are still men and women are still women. This means that there are marriages in heaven. Indeed, the Lord unites the minds of the married partners to the extent that they essentially become one mind. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZBeing Forgiven
Worship Service: Informal Family - October 15, 2017
In the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), this son had done some wrong things. But he turned his life around and returned to his father who lovingly forgave him. His brother didn’t want to forgive him. Each of the characters represent parts of us on the journey of forgiveness; the journey of being lost and then found; the journey home. In order to complete this journey, forgiveness and repentance need to go hand in hand. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallGet More Out of Reading the Bible: Part 2: Prophets and Psalms
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 15, 2017
Some of the most difficult parts of the Bible can be found in the Prophets. It can be hard to get much out of these sections. The teachings for the New Church say that this is because in the prophets the real spiritual meaning is often hidden under layers of symbolic language. So what do we do with this? Do we have to decode the prophets? Can we avoid them altogether? This Sunday we will explore how we can get more meaning out of reading the prophetical books of the Word. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Courage to Change

This is Part 12 in our series following the book 'Heaven and Hell'.

A lot of people when they open the Bible find it hard to get much out of it, particularly the Old Testament. There are hard to pronounce names and strange and sometimes disturbing stories. What are we supposed to do with it? How do we make sense of it? The goal of this 3 part sermon series is to help you have a better understanding of what you're looking at and how it can have relevance to you today. This Sunday we're going to be focusing on the first big chunk of the Bible, the Old Testament stories in Genesis through 2 Kings. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAA Residue In The Land

What exactly are "remains?" "Remains" are all the states of good and truth that the Lord implants within us during the course of our entire life. We have the choice to either cover these remains over, or allow the Lord to draw them forth. | By Rev. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MA
