Worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ is the first and foremost commandment for the Christian Church. We may not build physical idols, but we craft idols every time we separate the Divinity and Humanity, principle from specific application. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAWhy Does the Lord Want Us to Forgive?

"I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little." (Luke 7:47) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralHealing Spiritual Leprosy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 01, 2017
This Sunday we are going to talk about the disease of leprosy in the Bible. Having this disease would result in becoming an outcast, cut off from the community and from God. Yet the Lord reached out to a leper, even physically touching him, to bring him back into the community and into a relationship with God. When we have made choices that cut us off from the Lord and from others, this is the miracle that He can perform: to reach out to us in our shame and draw us back into His loving embrace. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAWhy Forgive?
Worship Service: Informal Family - October 01, 2017
This Sunday we launch the “Practicing Forgiveness” Journey series with the story of a woman who washed and anointed Jesus’ feet (Luke 7:36-50). In this story the Lord taught one of the Pharisees something important about forgiveness. Why is forgiveness such an important part of spiritual life? What is the connection between forgiveness, faith, and love? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallCities Of Refuge

Spiritual change takes time and learning. In Exodus 23, the Lord tells the Israelites that He will drive out their enemies little by little. Our traits and tendencies are all interconnected, and must be removed gradually. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallHappiness, Part 4 - Happiness and Relationships
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 24, 2017
True happiness comes from love, and love is to feel the joy in another as joy in ourselves. And because we are emotionally interconnected we either contribute to happiness of others by loving them, or destroy it by loving a selfish delight. With the Lord's help we can become truly loving which means we are happy and a source of happiness for others. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAHealing Spiritual Blindness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 24, 2017
This Sunday we're going to be looking closely at an amazing story of the Lord healing a man who was blind from birth. It's an amazing story because the Lord did an amazing miracle but also because it's clearly also about people who are spiritually unable or unwilling to see. With the help of this story we're going to try to understand how we might be spiritually blind and how the Lord can heal us and help us to see in a new way. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAFinding Contentment

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 17, 2017
In Part 9 of our series following the book 'Heaven and Hell' we think about the unbreakable connection that exists between the spiritual and natural worlds. The Lord flows down through the heavens and ultimately into this natural realm. The result is that we can always know that the Lord and heaven are very near. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZHappiness, Part 3 - Attitudes that Improve Happiness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 17, 2017
There are two attitudes that combine to form the basis of all deeper happiness. Happiness takes work, and happiness comes from trusting in the Lord. Holding these two attitudes in balance is the key to lasting happiness. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAReceiving Heavenly Life Little by Little

I will not drive the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beast of the field become too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive then out from before you, until you hav increased, and you inherit the land. (Exodus 23:29-30) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralGrowing Up Takes Time and Learning
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - September 17, 2017
One of the key ideas in the New Church is that spiritual growth is a long process of learning and living that can allow a person to choose to become a better human being. All of us can work together to help others in this process. This working together for the spiritual development of others is the essential of New Church education. Because the closing hymn was copyright protected it was replaced by a hymn from the 11 am service. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
