Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 29, 2017
Spiritual growth is a destructive process. Without the destruction of old habits, old ways of thinking, old wants and desires, there would be no room for the Lord to build us up as angels. Over the next four Sundays we will be exploring this topic of spiritual destruction and reconstruction using the story of Noah's Flood. This story offers powerful insight into how we deal with the spiritual floods that come our way. In the course of this story we'll talk about seeing the flood coming, how to get ready for it, riding it out, and then the beautiful things the Lord creates when we get to the other side. For this Sunday our focus will be on the first part: seeing the flood coming. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSASin and Sickness

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 22, 2017
Here in Part 14 of our series following the book 'Heaven and Hell', we consider the incredible joy that is experienced by everyone in heaven. It is enjoyed because everyone there loves to share with others and they all work to make other people happy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZForgiving Ourselves
Worship Service: Informal Family - October 22, 2017
We all make mistakes, often. We will need to receive forgiveness for many of those. Yet we can sometimes be our own harshest critics. How do we forgive ourselves for our mistakes so that we can find peace and hope? We will look at the story of the woman the Lord saved from being stoned, and said to her "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more." (John 8). | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallWithholding Bread From Gideon

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. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSABeing Accused By Evil Spirits

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

"I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.'" And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. (Luke 15:19-20) | By Rev. Erik J.

Worship Service: Sermon only - October 08, 2017
This is Part 12 in our series following the book 'Heaven and Hell'. Here we consider that it is not a person's faith system that gets them into heaven, it is the quality of their heart and their sincere desire to usefully serve the Lord and their neighbor. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ
