Pouring Out Oil for the Lord
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 18, 2018
Mary poured out an entire jar of precious aromatic oil to anoint the Lord (John 12:1-8). Judas rebuked her, saying that she should have sold it to give to the poor (although he really wanted to steal some of the money for himself). There are voices like Judas’s that tell us that any time we spend on anything other than direct service to the needy is wasteful. What can we learn from Mary’s example, and how can her actions show us the way to a more genuine love both for the Lord AND for other people? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Healing Leprosy - Jesus' Healing Miracles Series: Part 3 of 6

New Church teachings say that leprosy symbolizes profanation. We profane whenever we mingle something holy with something unholy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Raising Lazarus: Inviting the Confrontation
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 11, 2018
Jesus, though well aware of the brewing anger of the religious leaders, intentionally chose to perform an amazing miracle very close to Jerusalem.

Practicing Forgiveness - Being Forgiven
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 11, 2018
We have all needed to be forgiven at one time or another. It's tempting at these times to think a simple "I'm sorry" will suffice. But when it comes to forgiveness "sorry" just doesn't cut it. Although when we say sorry it may be heartfelt it does nothing to change us or our situation. It is when we recognise our fault and make an effort to change that we can receive real forgiveness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Lord teaches us to abide in Him as the source of life. It is the Lord's will that we love Him and love others.

Practicing Forgiveness - Why Forgive?
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 25, 2018
This Sunday we begin the Practicing Forgiveness programme with a question: "Why Forgive?" Why should we forgive people who have hurt us? What is it about forgiveness that is so essential to spiritual life that all the major world religions teach about how important it is? And - most importantly - how do we do it? How do we grant and seek forgiveness in a genuine way? Come on Sunday as we begin to try to find answers to these important questions. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
